What you need to know:
The defense had the potential to be one of the best in the Sun Belt last year,
but it was a complete and utter disaster. Gone are co-defensive coordinators
Phil Elmassian and Manny Michel and out with them will be the 4-2-5 alignment.
Now the defense will go to a 3-3-5 set to highlight one of the team's strength,
the linebackers. Cardia Jackson is among the best in the Sun Belt, while Theo
Smith and Josh Thomas are solid playmakers on the outside. The secondary is all
about getting the stars back. While Darius Prelow is a rising star, Josh
Thompson needs to get a sixth year from the NCAA, James Truxillo needs to get
healthy after suffering a knee injury, and Greg James has to get back in the mix
after being suspended. The key to the entire defense will be the pass rush,
which has been non-existent over the last few years. Aaron Morgan is a great
pass rusher, but he's it. Overall, there's enough experience and enough talent
to be better than 109th in the country again, but it'll take some
Tackles: Cardia
Sacks: Aaron Morgan, 6
Interceptions: Greg James, 3
Star of the defense: Senior LB Cardia Jackson
Player who has to step up and become a star: Senior NT Aaron Williams
Unsung star on the rise: Sophomore S Darius Prelow
Best pro prospect: Jackson
Top three all-star candidates: 1) Jackson, 2) S Greg James, 3) S Josh
Strength of the defense: Safety, linebacker
Weakness of the defense:
Pass rush, big plays
Defensive Line
Projected Starters: The star of the front three should be
Aaron Morgan, a 6-5, 220-pound
senior who has earned all-conference honors in each of the last two seasons. A
strong pass rusher, he was the only one who did anything to get to the
quarterback with six of the team's 13 sacks, to go along with 13 tackles for
loss and 45 tackles. While he looks like a large wide receiver, he's a tough,
physical player who has grown into the one player on the defensive front
everyone has to worry about.
Senior Jameson Jordan goes from
being a spot starter and a regular in the lineup to the full-time starter at one
of the end spots … for now. The 6-5, 235-pound senior made 16 tackles after
making just 39 in his first two seasons, but he's not a regular into the
backfield with no sacks and now tackles for loss. He looks like a pass rusher,
and he has a decent burst off the line, but he hasn't been able to break through
and become a factor.
The anchor on the nose in the new alignment will be
Aaron Williams, a decent 6-0,
296-pound bowling ball who came in from the JUCO ranks and made 29 tackles.
While he wasn't a threat into the backfield, making just one sack and three
tackles for loss, that wasn't his job. He's the one who needs to be the brick
wall against the run and use his size to clog things up.
Projected Top Reserves: Ready to provide more of a burst
for the line that struggled with the pass rush is
Quantez Hunter, a 6-4, 242-pound
JUCO transfer from City College of San Francisco. He started out his career at
Grambling before leaving to become an all-around playmaker at the JUCO ranks,
He'll push for time at both end spots.
Good tackle play will be at a premium, meaning junior
Aaron Moore needs to come up with a
big season. The 5-10, 284-pounder made ten tackles and a sack, and now he'll
have to play a big part in the rotation in the middle behind Aaron Williams.
6-1, 243-pound sophomore Troy Evans
started in four games and made 19 tackles with a tackle for loss. While he
didn't get into the backfield enough, he improved as the season went on and was
strong in the season finale against FIU. He'll start out behind Jameson Jordan,
but he can play either spot.
Redshirt freshman Michael Autwell is
an athlete who should be a decent situational pass rusher. The 6-3, 230-pounder
is quick off the ball and has the potential to be a disruptive force on a
limited basis behind Aaron Morgan.
Watch Out For ... even less of a pass rush from the front three.
The change in alignment will make the linebackers more open to run into the
backfield, but the defensive front will have to hold up against the run. Morgan
could end up being more of a hybrid outside linebacker.
Strength: Tackle … now that only one is needed. It was a good move
by the coaching staff to change up the style considering there weren't many true
tackles who could handle the inside. Now that only a nose is necessary, there's
a good pair in Williams and Moore to rotate.
Weakness: Sacks. Outside of Morgan, the defensive front did nothing,
nothing to get to the quarterback.
It's not like things are going to change now that the ends have more
responsibility against the run.
Outlook: There hasn't been a pass rush in years, but there's a
good one in Aaron Morgan to provide a little bit of a threat. However, in the
new 3-3-5 alignment, there will be a steady rotation of players in the three
spots and more will be needed from the ends against the run. This will be a
problem considering there's little to no size outside of 296-pound tackle Aaron
Williams and 283-pound tackle Aaron Moore. However, those two aren't going to be
on the field at the same time all that often.
Rating: 4
Projected Starters: The star of the team is Cardia Jackson,
a star playmaker from day one with 264 tackles, 4.5 sacks and 19.5 tackles for
loss in his three seasons. He has become more of a pass rusher with four of his
sacks coming last year, along with a team-leading 127 tackles, and now he'll
have even more to do as the main man on the inside in the new alignment. At 6-2
and 240 pound he has good size, after bulking up in the last year, and he's a
guided missile when he gets on the move. The senior doesn't miss a tackle and
has gotten better in pass coverage.
Back at one of the linebacker spots, playing on the inside, will be
Josh Thomas, a 6-2, 223-pound senior
who hit the weights over the last year and doesn't look like a safety playing
linebacker. The former walk-on followed up a 61-tackle season by finishing
fourth on the team, for the second year in a row, with 67 stops and three
tackles for loss. While he's not a great open field tackler, he has the range to
get in on every play.
Junior Theo Smith was one of the
team's best recruits three years ago and he started to show why last year. While
he didn't get any starts, mainly because the defense only used two linebackers,
he still came up with 49 tackles and five tackles for loss. Only 5-11 and 204
pounds, he makes plays with his excellent speed. He has the potential to be one
of the team's best all-around defenders now that he'll get more work.
Projected Top Reserves: The potential is there for true freshman
Antonio Hoskins to see time right
away. While he's only 6-0 and 208 pounds, he has 4.54 speed and he's a
devastating tackler with 191 stops in his junior year of high school. Originally
a Mississippi State Bulldog in 2008, getting him this year was a big coup for
the program.
Mostly a special teamer last year, sophomore
Jason Edwards shows signs of
potentially being a key factor in the front six with 11 tackles. The 5-11,
237-pound sophomore has good size playing behind Josh Thomas and is ready to
play a much bigger role on the outside.
6-3, 224-pound redshirt freshman
DaCorris Ford spend the last year in the weight room, and now he's ready to
be a factor … someday. He'll be the understudy behind Cardia Jackson in the
middle and should be the main man next year. A physical player for his size, he
made 197 tackles in two years of high school ball and will be used in some way
this season.
Watch Out For ... the linebackers to make even more plays. With
only three defensive linemen, the linebackers will have to do more to clean up
the mess. That'll be fine with a good trio of starters to handle the work.
Strength: Cardia Jackson. He might be the best linebacker in the
Sun Belt, and at the very least, he's one of the best defensive players in the
conference. Funnel everything his way and he'll take care of the stop.
Weakness: Production at the point of attack. There are far too many
plays made down the field after big gains. There isn't much done against the
pass from the linebackers, and there are too many problems against the better
running teams since the line has a hard time doing its job.
Outlook: This might be the team's biggest strength. Cardia Jackson
is a special all-around defender who could finish his career with over 400
tackles. He's the veteran leader of a good corps that welcomes back a possible
all-star in Josh Thomas and Theo Smith, a great backup who'll get the start now
in the 3-3-5 alignment.
Rating: 5.5
Defensive Backs
Projected Starters: The team needs
Greg James to be back and out of the
doghouse after being suspended for the spring. The 6-1, 210-pound senior
finished second on the team in 2007 with 77 tackles and was fifth last year with
61 stops to go along with a team-leading three interceptions. With the speed of
the corner and his good size, he's an effective all-around safety with great
range and tackling ability.
Hoping to catch a break and get a sixth year with a
medical redshirt is Josh Thompson,
the team's second leading tackler last year who has had problems throughout his
career with a shoulder problem and a pectoral injury. The 6-2, 215-pound Rover
made 108 tackles and broke up eight passes in his all-star season, and if he's
back, he'll be pushing for first team All-Sun Belt honors. A big-time hitter
who'll be all over the field, and occasionally into the backfield, he'll be the
leader of the secondary if he's back.
ULM uses a third safety with James Truxillo back at his starting spot
after getting knocked out early. Elected a captain before the season after
making 68 tackles two years ago, he came out, made four tackles in a
game-and-a-half, and was out for the year with a knee injury. The 6-2, 209-pound
senior is a former wide receiver who will be a major factor if he's healthy.
Nate Brown stepped in at corner and
turned in a great first season finishing third on the team with 70 tackles with
three broken up passes and a sack. However, he didn't pick off a pass and
struggled too much when the ball was in the air. The 5-10, 175-pound sophomore
is a former wide receiver with excellent speed and good potential. While he took
his lumps last year, he should improve with more time.
There will be an on-going battle at corner, but 5-10, 175-pound redshirt
freshman Nate Brown appears to be a lock at one spot. The former wide
receiver has has the speed and he should be able to come up with his share of
picks, but it might take a while before he can prove to be a lock-down No. 1
cover corner.
Senior Otis Stamps took over the
starting corner job right away and was decent, if not spectacular, making 39
tackles with an interception and three broken up passes. The 5-10, 181-pound
veteran came over from the JUCO ranks where he was an all-star at Hinds CC. A
great ball-hawker before getting to ULM, he has to start making more big plays.
Projected Top Reserves: 6-1, 197-pound sophomore
Darius Prelow came up with a nice
true freshman season making 19 tackles in just six games of action. A factor
over the second half of the season, with two starts, he has the potential to be
the team's new star safety depending on what happens with all the drama
throughout the secondary. While he has good speed and range, his worth will be
as a tackler.
Is this the year when junior Troy
Giddens finally becomes a star? The 6-0, 207-pound safety has next-level
speed, good all-around talent, and a little bit of experience, but he hasn't
been able to do too much making four tackles before suffering a knee injury.
Originally an LSU Tiger, he could've gone anywhere but ended up having to go the
JUCO route before joining ULM. He has 4.32 speed and good open-field tackling
Junior Alex Ibe is a 6-3, 206-pound
hitter who made 13 tackles in his limited time on defense and on special teams.
A terrific athlete, he was a two-time Texas high school triple jump champion and
is just now starting to show off his skills in the secondary. He'll be penciled
in a starting spot early on, but he'll mostly be a key reserve.
Watch Out For ... new faces. While James, Thompson and Truxillo
might be the regular stars of the secondary, they can't be counted on. Ibe is
too good an athlete to keep off the field, while Prelow could be special with a
little more time.
Strength: Safeties. The Warhawks are loaded with talented safeties
and will have to find a way to get them all on the field if everyone is back in
the mix. It wouldn't be a bad thing to try to rotate all the talent into the
three spots.
Weakness: Defending the pass. The Warhawk secondary didn't get any help
from a pass rush, but it didn't do itself any favors with just seven
interceptions while allowing 232 yards per game. There's speed in the secondary,
but there will be problems against the better passing teams again.
Outlook: It'll be an interesting year for the secondary with so
many things happening among the stars. From the suspension of Greg James to Josh
Thompson needing the NCAA to give him another year of eligibility to James
Truxillo's knee problem, the secondary could take on a very different look if
all the breaks don't go ULM's way. Even if everyone is back there needs to be a
vast improvement after giving up yards in chunks all season long. Everyone can
tackle, but they need to cover.
Rating: 5
Special Teams
Projected Starters: Senior
Scott Love has been an all-star, but he needs to get his sophomore year
production back. He averaged 42.1 yards per kick and put a whopping 23 inside
the 20 in 2007, but last year he only averaged 39.6 yards per boot with 13 put
inside the 20. He has a big leg and can be accurate, but he has to revert back
to his old form.
Sophomore Radi Jabour took over the
placekicking duties and struggled, hitting just 6-of-12 field goals with three
missed coming in the 24-21 loss to Middle Tennessee. He has a huge leg, but his
biggest kick was from 48 yards out. Consistency will be his key.
The return game needs Darrell McNeal
back to handle punt returns, but he only averaged 6.4 yards per try. RB
Luther Ambrose will likely be the
key kickoff returner early on after averaging 22.7 yards on is 23 returns.
Watch Out For ... Love to return to form. He didn't get a whole
bunch of help from his coverage team, but he wasn't great compared to his
sophomore season.
Strength: Love. He has a big leg, can be accurate, and will bail
the team out from time to time. He's a weapon.
Weakness: Everything other than Love. Nothing worked last year with no
kicking game, nothing from the punt coverage team, mediocre punt returns and not
enough from the kickoff returners.
Outlook: The special teams
have to find something that works. The punting game will be fine with Love, but
something else has to work. Radi Jabour has to be a more consistent short-range
placekicker, someone, possibly Darrell McNeal again, has to add more pop to the
punt return game, and the coverage teams need to be better.

I'd purchased this shea butter from CostCo and LOVED it, so searched on-line for a good source. I FOUND It at iHerb.com, and was delighted to purchase three more bottles. Service was extremely prompt and web-site easy to use! THANKS, THANKS!
good product, nice smell
Posted by Reviewer1511810 on Jan 01, 2013
I like it as a body butter. not the best one I have tried, but good enough, it's pretty thick and not sticky or too oily. Doesn't absorb very fast. I like the smell, but it can be too strong if you're not into fruity smells.

Breed Specific Legislation (BSL) literally means laws which only apply to a section of the canine population.
laws usually place restrictions on breeds or types. Restrictions may
take many forms, though typically include mandatory muzzling and on-lead
only exercise in a public places, enforced registration on indexes,
breed-specific bans and substantial licensing fees. Across Europe, the
breeds targeted vary greatly, currently encompassing much of the canine
spectrum from Corgis to GSDs, Staffordshire Bull Terriers to Border
In the mainland Great Britain, four breeds are currently subject to BSL under the Dangerous Dogs Act (DDA):
must, however, also be aware that 'types' of these dogs are also
affected. This means that your dog doesn't have to be a Pit Bull or Tosa
to be subject to the DDA: it simply has display physical and
behavioural characteristics similar to those displayed in breeds covered
by the act.
Click the link here
to read a leaflet put together by DEFRA describing the banned breeds
and their 'types'. The addition of the word 'type' complicates
classification, because the guidelines are based predominantly on
appearance and are open to misinterpretation, whether deliberate or
accidental. According to these guidelines, a labrador could be described
as 90% pit bull due to the broadly described physical categories - and
no guidelines are offered to help officials decide whether behaviour is
synonymous with a breed or type. These guidelines - and the room they
leave for interpretation - is a real cause for concern in the climate of
fear and paranoia, as under British law it is an offence to own, keep,
gift, breed from or sell any of the dogs mentioned above.
the 1991 Act was amended by the Dangerous Dogs (Amendment) Act of 1997.
This amendment has been widely welcomed, as it acknowledges the fact
that not all dogs who are deemed to be of a 'type' mentioned in the Act
pose a threat to the public, and as such need not always be put to
sleep. We cannot over-emphisise the importance of this amendment: it
states that no dog need be destroyed if the court is satisfied that it
constitutes no danger to public safety. Instead, once the court is
satisfied of their suitable temperament and their owner's commitment to
responsible care, dogs may be registered on the Index of Exempted Dogs,
microchipped, neutered and returned to their owner's care.
the introduction of the DDA, many owners applied to add their dogs to
the Index of Exemption. In the years that followed, not a single one
injured another animal or person. However, in the years following the
DDA, the rate of incidents and deaths involving dogs have not decreased:
a clear indication that BSL isn't working, and that it's time for a
different approach.
But how does this effect you?
If you're
the owner of a dog who isn't mentioned in the DDA, sign our petition to
support those who are affected: after all, it could be your breed or
type next.
If you are the owner of a dog of sound disposition who
you are concerned may be seen as a breed or type mentioned on the DDA,
we suggest you familiarise yourself with the 1997 Amendment. A full
version of is available here alongside the the DDA of 1991.
If an Amnesty is in place in your area, make sure you read the Amnesty
section of this site, and are as such fully aware of the possible
consequences of surrender. Also be as careful and responsible as ever -
make a point of keeping your dog under close control at all times. Don't
panic, and think carefully about what course of action - if any - you'd
like to make.

Blue Earth County Sheriff's Captain Rich Murry said Friday a search of computers taken from the Hoffner home found no additional items that would be considered child pornography. The information was being forwarded to the county attorney's office. Hoffner was charged last month with one count of using minors in a sexual performance or pornographic work and one count of possessing child pornography. Hoffner's attorney James Fleming says he is confident authorities will not come up with any additional evidence and the case will focus on the images recovered from a cellphone.

When Rep. Janice Schakowsky railed that he had just called gays sinners and should apologize, the White House meekly retorted that President Bush "doesn't believe in casting stones. He believes we ought to treat one another with dignity and respect."
In the Big Tent, the only mortal sin is being judgmental.
In his answer, however, the president had carefully added, "I think a marriage is between a man and a woman, and I think we ought to codify that."
This response was 100 percent political. An amendment to the U.S. Constitution to restrict marriage to a man and a woman is a wedge issue that can rip the Democratic Party apart. As long as President Bush sticks to his Briefing Book, he holds the commanding heights in what is likely to be the fiercest battle of the Culture War in 2004.
The Vatican, however, seeing the movement gaining ground, has issued a document of moral clarity calling civil unions "gravely immoral" and homosexual acts "deviant," and urging Christian leaders to oppose homosexual marriages and adoptions.
"There are absolutely no grounds for considering homosexual unions to be in any way similar or even remotely analogous to God's plan for marriage and family," declared the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, the Roman Church's watchdog of orthodoxy. Its 12-page guide, approved by John Paul II, states, "Marriage is holy, while homosexual acts go against the natural moral law."
With the Episcopal Church heading for schism, the Supreme Court discovering sodomy to be a constitutional right, President Bush maneuvering to back an amendment outlawing gay marriage, and the Pope denouncing homosexual unions as immoral and homosexual acts as deviant, there's no way this issue can be kept out of the campaign of 2004. Nor should it be.
But it does reveal a painful truth. America is again a house divided. The "don't ask, don't tell" moral community in which we grew up has dissolved irrevocably. Christianity, dying in Europe, is under siege in America. A paganism that holds homosexual unions to be "sacramental" -- the Rev. Robinson's term -- is ascending.
The sad sundered Episcopal Church is a mirror for America.

Computing Resources >> Tutorials >> Web Development >> Introduction to XML
Example: RSS
I'm going to use a real-life example to show what I mean.
The lightweight XML application RSS is especially popular these days. RSS is a web-based tool for sharing news headlines and other Web content.
RSS users take advantage of the same user-defined elements. By using the same XML elements, RSS users can build software and website applications that consistently update and display "headlines."
Here's what the basic RSS elements would look like for a news aggregator site:
By making XML RSS documents available online and syndicating them through RSS aggregator sites, a news organization can notify its readers every time a new headline is posted to the news site. Also, individual users can install special software on their computers that allows them to view other users' RSS XML documents.
Here's an example of an aggregator site.
Here's an example of an RSS software application.
Both the news aggregator sites and the software use the same RSS data elements to share information. These applications "refresh" periodically to locate new headlines. With individual software applications, users can specify which RSS news services they would like to subscribe to.
RSS is just one of the many applications that have been developed using
XML. XML markup is also heavily used in B2B data transfers, and will
continue to play a significant role in online business transactions.

Hostelworld "meet the world" by Lucky Generals
Rating: 5.0
By Jennifer Whitehead,, brandrepublic.com, Wednesday, 06 February 2002 08:21AM
The ad for Fusion, a South London radio station, showed on the left side of the poster a photograph of a near-naked women with her nipples airbrushed out and radio dials positioned in what could be seen as a south-easterly direction. It featured the words "for south east people".
More than 70 people nationwide complained about the ad for the local radio station, which was created by AMD. Complainants said the ad was sexist and demeaning to women.
Fusion claimed that it was not, in fact, trying to shock and that it had airbrushed out the woman's nipples to avoid causing offence. It also said it regretted that the ad had appeared in "inappropriate locations, such as near schools".
The Advertising Standards Authority ruled that the image of a naked woman was sexist and irrelevant to the product, and told Fusion to withdraw it immediately.

There have been concerns that are on a rise after many cases surfaced of sleep disorders among children around the world. Now the health officials in Britain have issued an investigation to look into the matters. According to them the pandemic flu vaccine might be a reason for this, which was given when the H1N1 virus more commonly known as swine flu, erupted in 2009/10.
For finding out the link the Health Protection Agency (HPA) is not finding facts by looking into the history of children between the age group of 4 and 18 who have been diagnosed for narcolepsy at sleep centers in Britain in recent years. There are speculations that GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) vaccine Pandemrix, which was given extensively in 2009/10 during the H1N1 swine flu pandemic, might throw some light on this. But HPA has denied that there is any evidence that shows a link between influenza vaccines and narcolepsy.
But looking at the information about the time frame when children diagnosed with narcolepsy received these pandemic vaccines, HPA hopes to deduce how many were affected. HPA would put forwards its reports by the end of this year.
There have been studies in Finland which have highlighted the link between Pandemrix and narcolepsy. The authors of these studies found that cases of narcolepsy increased seventeen-folds in the year 2010, from 0.31 cases per 100,000 to 5.3 cases per 100,000. This is the same year Pandemrix was used.
According to the lead author, Partinen, "We can't exclude the possibility that there are simultaneous environmental factors at work here, but we can say Pandemrix was one of the factors involved". GSK however denied all claims stating that there is no concrete proof till date that point fingers at its vaccine.

Reaction pipe: For a complete cleaning, the base can be unscrewed.
Venturi pump: The maintenance of the pump should be done at least every two months, if necessary, even more often:
Maintenance/Cleaning of the PumpDepending on contamination, the pump must be cleaned occasionally, at least in two-month intervals, if necessary more frequently. If the channel in the ceramic axle clogs, the water-cooling is interrupted.
At first, remove Pipe Connections and undo the Bayonet on the Pump Housing. Now, the Impeller Assembly can be taken out. Caution: This part is a tight fit and must be removed carefully so as not to break the Ceramic Shaft. It can be cleaned under running water and then reassembled. If the rotor is completely dismounted, the holes in the Cover Plate also have to be cleaned. They provide for sufficient water-cooling of the rotor. The drilling for the water-cooling in the Ceramic Axle always has to be free of deposits.
General InformationPrinciple of operation
The skimmer with venturi pump has to be placed in a separate filter tank. The water is pumped to the skimmer by the venturi pump. The pump draws water from the filter tank and mixes it with air. Within the pump housing, the bubbles are cut into very fine pieces by the Aqua Medic air wheel. The air/water mixture is pumped back into the skimmer. The treated water flows through the outlet or drain valve out of the skimmer back into the filter tank.
Venturi pumpThe Eco Runner series magnetically coupled centrifugal pumps are very quiet in operation. They have fully encapsulated synchronous motors. All materials are saltwater-resistant.
The polished ceramic shaft and bearing is practically wear-resistant, ensuring a long operating life. An integrated thermal overheat protection device prevents damage to the windings should the impeller rotation be impeded. The pumps can easily be taken apart for cleaning. The direction of the rotation is controlled electronically. This enables a very efficient operation.
The pump can easily be taken apart for cleaning. The direction of the rotation is controlled electronically. This enables a very efficient operation.
ConnectionsSuction side: The included air injection nozzle is at the pump's suction side.
Pressure side: The pressure side can be connected with the skimmer by the existing connection with union nut. Please make sure that the O-ring is placed into the groove.

Picture: Ashton Kutcher, Jon Cryer and Angus T. Jones Jon Cryer is honored with a Hollywood Star Los Angeles, California - 19.09.11
Ratings for the Ashton Kutcher era of Two and a Half Men continued to erode Monday night, although they remained at the top of CBS's sitcom block between 8 00 p.m. and 10 00 p.m. and they were 8 percent higher than they were a year ago when Charlie Sheen was the star. Monday night's episode averaged a season-low 9.6 rating and a 15 share (13.8 million viewers) and came in second to ABC's Dancing With The Stars , which averaged a 12.5/19 (17.1 million viewers). NBC debuted Rock Center with Brian Williams at 10 00 p.m. -- with Rocky results. It drew just a 3.3/5 (4.1 million viewers) -- tinier ratings than The Playboy Club , the canceled Drama that it replaced. All of the broadcast networks faced competition from NFL football on ESPN on cable.

Roadrunner Statue In Las Cruces Will Find New Home
City officials in Las Cruces are considering where to relocate the city's giant statue of a roadrunner.
The Las Cruces Sun-News reports that the 20-foot-tall, 40-foot-long statue is currently in the backyard of its creator, artist Olin Calk.
The statue was completed in 1993 as part of a recycling education program and was stationed that year at what was then the Las Cruces Foothills Landfill as a way to encourage creative recycling projects.
It moved in 2001 to a rest area just west of Las Cruces off I-10 where it became a familiar landmark to thousands of travelers.
The city has paid $26,000 to remove and reconstruct the statue.
City officials are considering several sites, including the rest stop, to relocate the statute.

The Golden Rule (do unto others as you would have them do to you) and the Wiccan Rede (If no harm is done, do as you will) are forms of the Ethic of Reciprocity. Greek philosophers in the fourth centuryCE derived it from logic as the most basic moral code, and four thousand years ago it appeared in ancient Egypt. It is the most basic relativistic-logic ethic. On account of its simplicity it is the most universal moral code known; appearing in nearly all cultures, being derived from multiple teachers, religions and philosophies at different times in different ways.
"The principle of reciprocity is often the justification, motivation and, in some cases, the essence of a moral code."
"A History of Sin" by Oliver Thomson (1993)1
The Golden Rule appears in most religions including: African Traditional2, Baha'i, Buddhism, Christianity, Confucianism, Hinduism, Islam, Jainism, Judaism, Native American, Paganism, Scientology, Shintoism, Sikhism, Taoism, Wicca3 and Zoroastrianism.
It appears in most generic cultures and secular philosophies: Atheism, Humanism, Greek philosophy & culture, Marxism1, Roman antiquity2 and Persian2 culture.
The oldest occurrence of the golden rule may be from 1970 to 1640CE in ancient Egypt, making it at least a four-thousand old doctrine. The Egyptian empire spread its methods of religion and myths worldwide.
The Golden Rule is based around doing what you think is best (and no more). The negative approach (the Silver Rule) is about avoiding doing what you think is worst. The philosopher Lester R. Kurtz gives a general overview:
"The fundamental ethical teachings of all the major traditions are actually very similar. They tend to begin with a basic compassion or respect for others, such as the Golden Rule from Jesus ("Do unto others as you would have them to do you") or the Silver Rule from the Buddha ("Do not do unto others what you would not have them do unto you")."
"Gods in the Global Village" by Lester R. Kurtz (2007)4
It is not only theistic religions and Eastern philosophies that embrace this ethic; the respected atheist philosopher Richard Carrier notes that most atheist schools of thought adopt it too:
"Every atheist I have known has always fallen back upon the one concept echoed worldwide, and taught by religious and secular leaders throughout all time: the so-called "Golden Rule." Jesus was repeating an old Jewish proverb when he said "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you," and Confucius was recording an old Chinese saying when he wrote "Do not do to others what you would not want done to you."
All atheist systems of morality seem to derive in various ways from this core principle, and so it would be appropriate to say that atheists stand for the Golden Rule in its fullest meaning and significance. I believe that any rule or belief which violates this principle is discarded by most atheists as immoral..."
Richard Carrier (1999)
Unfortunately, we see below that the ethic of reciprocity does not work. It is merely a goodwill gesture, and is not a practical belief to enforce.
Yet it is not a universal belief of all religions. Nordic culture is probably an exception. Satanism does not accept the ethic of reciprocity5 and Anton LaVey edited the Golden Rule to add a note saying that he believed that punishment was acceptable for a person's actions if a person deemed them deserving of it for some reason.
Be kind to your enemies, because you want them to be kind to you. This is the kind (or naíve) interpretation of the golden rule. Selfless and noble, this ethic has ironically catalysed some of the worst atrocities in history. It has led to people being led happily by ruthless rulers into barbaric warfare and inhumane oppression as the indoctrinated masses fail to revolt against corrupt rule, for example, against the rule of Christianity during the Dark Ages/Age of Faith.
"At its higher level it becomes more generous and less mercenary, recognising the superior quality of the idea as formulated for instance by Lao Tzu in ancient China: 'For good return good: for evil return good'"
"A History of Sin" by Oliver Thomson (1993)1
This misguided, but noble, practice is unfortunately impractical and inhuman. It has only ever been realized by asocial sectarian groups who break away from the rest of the world; rather than create a working ethic that increases the goodness of the world they abandon the world to the more cruel leaders who they fail to oppose.
The more common form of the ethic of reciprocity gives antagonizers free reign to bring down general morality to their own level. So, it also doesn't work. A violent warrior is going to have a very different idea of what normal conduct is. One who fights for survival is both willing to attack others, and defend himself, and upholding the ethic of reciprocity appears to tell him that it is ok for him to attack others, just because it's something he expects to happen to him too. Survivalists and those who expect others to treat them badly, who are happy in a tooth-for-tooth world are given the all-clear to go forth and act as they wish. The ethic of reciprocity is too idealistic, and can only ever maintain the status quo rather than create an atmosphere of goodwill. Most support it because they are unable to think of a better way, and it has a feel-good factor because the statement is given much credence in popular religious and spiritual writings.
We look to Oliver Thomson for a brief reprise:
"At the lower end, this is the rule of vendetta, 'an eye for an eye'. Violent behaviour by one group tends to produce a justification for the morality of violence by any opposing groups."
"A History of Sin" by Oliver Thomson (1993)1
Mostly this is due to its simplicity, it is the first general ethical statement that can be made when you take relativism between people into account, so most organized systems of thought and personal philosophies contain many exceptions and additions to this ethic. For example, no-one wants to be put in jail, yet most people believe that a prison system is morally better than having no prison system.
In short, this form of reciprocal ethics only can support the status quo, it does not create any better moral system than what already exists. It is superfluous, and with codes like these things can only get worse!
Some of the holy texts and religious literature quoted below asserts the ethic of reciprocity in a "negative" form, where it says "do not" do something, and some display the positive form where it actively states that you behave positively as you want others to treat you. The most ancient form of the golden rule, 4000 years old, is expressed in the positive form.

NASCAR: Toyota working to find more horsepower for engines
Aug 19, 2014, 9:09 PM EDT
Last year for Toyota Racing Development, the power of their NASCAR Sprint Cup Series engines wasn't the problem. It was their reliability.
This year, the situation has been reversed.
While TRD has largely avoided the engine failures that plagued them in 2013, it's clear that they've been unable to match, performance-wise, the Hendrick and Roush-Yates powerplants that have respectively pushed Hendrick Motorsports and Team Penske to the top of the pecking order.
Last Sunday at Michigan, Joe Gibbs Racing's Denny Hamlin claimed that his TRD engine was down 50 horsepower after he finished seventh in the Pure Michigan 400. Three of the Top-5 finishers, including winner Jeff Gordon, had Hendrick motors; a fourth Top-5 finisher, Team Penske's Joey Logano in third, had a Roush-Yates motor.
Today, TRD president David Wilson denied that his organization's engines were as down on horsepower as Hamlin alleged. But he admitted that the company has a gap to close, and is working hard to do that.
"Ultimately, we are bringing more performance," Wilson said according to the Sporting News' Bob Pockrass. "We're not down 50 horsepower, I guarantee you that.
"But we also recognize we need to be better and have been very, very candid and open that we're continuing to work to make sure when we get to the Chase, we're more competitive."
With three regular season races remaining, four Toyota drivers are currently on the Chase Grid with two of them, JGR's Hamlin and Kyle Busch, having clinched berths.
Their teammate, Matt Kenseth, and Clint Bowyer of TRD-powered Michael Waltrip Racing currently occupy two of the four Grid positions that are still up for grabs.
JGR in particular appears in good shape to have all three of its drivers make the Chase as Kenseth has a sizable points cushion in his favor.
But it still bears noting that Kenseth has gone winless in 2014 after taking seven checkered flags last year. Busch's win total has also dropped, from four in 2013 to a lone win in 2014 at Fontana.
If Toyota's going to stand a chance to win this year's Sprint Cup championship, TRD needs to solve its power woes. JGR's owner, Joe Gibbs, is counting on them.
"We've got some good updates coming in the motor, and so hopefully we get hot at the right time," Gibbs told Pockrass. "We've been behind."

I don't know if they're going to find it until the offseason. Every time they look for more horsepower, they end up skyrocketing the engines all together.

Now that Toyota and other Asian car makers are building cars in the U.S. I don't think it's fair to disparage them. That does not mean I would buy an Asian car as I don't like the styling or driving experience. As far as CRASHCAR racing they have a right to compete like everyone else. Unfortunately U.S. auto makers from Detroit have exported tens of thousands of U.S. jobs to Asia, Mexico, Brazil, etc. so the U.S. CEO gets an even larger compensation package than the typical $5-$10 Million plus annual haul. It's a national disgrace compared to other countries.
As far as making more HP it's always a balancing act between power and reliability. None of the current CRASHCAR engines is actually a production based engine, making the series pretty much a farce for all practical purposes. TRD has the technical and financial resources to up the power of their engines and you can bet they will. Drivability becomes the issue if you chase peak HP without concern for mid-range torque however.

Design School: Environmental Typography Design Project
Design School: Environmental Typography Design Project
Design students need to look at typography in clever and unique ways, to begin to understand that each character and word are individually a design, and to pay attention to even the smallest details.
They also should think about the concept, audience and delivery of typography in a design piece, without opening software and using the Type tool as a default.
The students in this project racked up a lot of time working with type without electronics, and spending time thinking about the design problem and how to create a message. The project ended in a series of 5 tabloid-size printed posters and this slideshow created in After Effects. (Thanks, of course, to Stefan Sagmeister, for the idea.)

Source: Tyler says he'll be judge on 'Idol'
NEW YORK -- A source close to Steven Tyler said the Aerosmith frontman told the source he will be a judge on Fox's ''American Idol'' next season.
While an official announcement about Tyler has yet to come from Fox and the producers of the top-rated show, the source told The Associated Press on Wednesday, ''there is no reason to refute'' Tyler's account. The source spoke only on the condition of anonymity because the source was not authorized to comment publicly on the matter.
The ''Idol'' judging panel has been in flux with the departure of mainstay Simon Cowell, as well as Ellen DeGeneres' recent announcement that she would not return for a second season.
Dr. Laura to end her radio show at end of year
NEW YORK -- Talk show host Laura Schlessinger said her desire to talk freely without having affiliates and sponsors attacked led to her abrupt decision to end her ''Dr. Laura'' radio show later this year.
Schlessinger said she is walking away a week after apologizing for saying the N-word 11 times on the air while talking to a black woman with a white husband, then saying ''if you're that hypersensitive about color and don't have a sense of humor, don't marry out of your race.''
She apologized a day after the Aug. 10 remarks, but Media Matters for America called for her removal from the talk show. The group encouraged its members to contact show sponsors and affiliates and urge them to drop ''Dr. Laura.''
Mel Gibson's ex appears for custody hearing
LOS ANGELES -- Mel Gibson's ex-girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva appeared for a closed court hearing Wednesday involving custody issues with their young daughter.
Flanked by deputies, Grigorieva did not speak to reporters when she arrived outside the courthouse. She was accompanied by one of her attorneys during breaks in the session.
Gibson did not appear at the hearing, which was closed to the public by law.
A summary posted outside the courtroom indicated attorneys would argue a motion on whether to seize the passport of the 9-month-old girl.

The General Assembly passed legislation at the end of the 2013 session that gives cities a new economic development tool that incentivizes private investment in downtowns for the "rehabilitation, renovation and redevelopment" of empty storefronts.

Can you keep me interested?
Even after a long, hard day at work I like to have fun, laugh, flirt, and go out or stay home and play ;) I'm a hard worker and love to be with someone who is also a hardworker and is going to greet me with hugs and kisses... I am very affectionate and want the same. Someone who I can laugh or cry with. A guy who has good friends and loves his family. Having long friendships say a lot about a person's character. Plus, I want someone who doesn't mind if I go out on my own with my friends and has his own things to do. I don't want a clingy, needy person. Must have passion in life!

|Digitally remastered by Roger Nichols (Digital Atomics).
|Jo Stafford's Happy Holidays is one of the better Christmas albums to play during the holidays. Her beautiful croon fits these selections perfectly, as they are almost all more up-tempo, jazz influenced numbers from the last century. Her voice is especially good on the slower numbers, more specifically on "Christmas Song," "Nearness of You," and "By the Fireside." It is here that her voice takes over the song, bringing out the melancholy and power of the songs easily. Any fans of jazzy vocal music should give this a chance; it really is quite good and showcases a fine talent that has a gift for singing Christmas music. ~ Bradley Torreano

High levels of carbonate minerals were found by Nasa's Mars Exploration Rover Spirit in the Columbia Hills of the Gusev crater on the planet.
The readings were made in 2005, but the findings took longer to analyse because dust from Mars was obscuring part of the rover's apparatus and it had to be calibrated to retrieve the data, Science journal reported.
The findings suggest there may have been more water in the planet's history than experts believed, which could help scientists determine whether there was ever life on Mars.
Steve Ruff, a research scientist from Arizona State University, said: "Small amounts of carbonate minerals have been detected on Mars before [but now] we're seeing a couple of large outcrops of rock poking through the soil of the Columbia Hills."
Richard Morris, a Nasa scientist who led the research, said the rocks are about 25 per cent carbonate by weight – about 10 times richer in carbonate than previous findings.
He told BBC News: "This is a significant jump and the amount is compelling evidence that there was some kind of water there.
"It looks like Mars had a dense carbon dioxide atmosphere so there was some kind of greenhouse effect. The atmosphere now is very thin, it could have blown into space or it could have interacted with water and is now present in the rocks."
He said the mineral was likely to derive from water rich in carbonates, which would also suggest temperatures on Mars were higher than previously estimated.

The Yalunka people of West Africa don't know very much about Jesus. But that's about to change with the first Bible in their heart language.
In early February, the Yalunka people celebrated the arrival of the very first Bible in their language at a Bible dedication ceremony in West Africa. Bible League International, in partnership with Pioneer Bible Translators, printed 2,000 copies of these Scriptures to share so more people can come to meet Jesus.
"There was a cry for God's Word among the Yalunka people," says John Andersen, Executive Vice President of Publishing at Bible League International. "And we did what God would have us to do. We published His Word. Now, the Yalunka people have a Bible in their own language for the very first time."
The Yalunka Bible is more than 20 years in the making, says Jeff Wilhoit, Executive Vice President of Pioneer Bible Translators, and was a divine work of the Lord.
"How the Bible came to be is simply miraculous," says Wilhoit. "Years ago our director and a colleague, both missionaries, traveled to a small village north of Sierra Leone that reportedly had no Christians. They learned there was a small church in the area and decided to offer help if needed. When they arrived at the church, the people were gathered for prayer. The church had just finished 40 days of fasting and prayer, asking God for a missionary. Imagine the awe and joy!
"Our director soon made the Yalunka translation a top priority. We teamed up with Greg and Rebecca Pruett, the translators of the Yalunka Bible, who'd shared they, too, were seeking God's direction and were led to the Yalunka. They spent over a decade living in the village, translating the Scriptures into Yalunka, and helping the church to understand and apply its teachings. God then sent Bible League International to join the efforts. They agreed to publish the Bible and provided more than enough copies to be shared with the villagers.
"On Sunday, February 3, the same church that prayed diligently for a missionary dedicated Pioneer Bible Translators' first complete Bible. God answered their prayers. How great is our God!"
The Yalunka live in mud huts in the rugged hills just north of Sierra Leone. They are primarily subsistence farmers, but they are also known as great hunters. With no running water or many other amenities, life is simple for most; but Christians also face the challenge of persecution.
Islam is the primary religion practiced by most West Africans, followed closely by traditional religions. People who choose to convert to Christianity are often met with much opposition, even persecution. According to US Department of State's International Religious Freedom Report for 2011, "the missionary community reported that while conversion from Islam to Christianity was allowed by the government, it sometimes resulted in rejection or persecution by families and communities."
Bible League International is committed to ending the global Bible Famine among persecuted Christians, Muslims, and the poor. That's why the organization joined with Pioneer Bible Translators to provide Scriptures to Yalunka believers greatly in need and to those wanting to learn more about Jesus through their first Bible.
"Bible League International will remain faithful to sowing the seed of the Gospel and planting God's Word so people meet Jesus, "says Rob Frank, Global Chief Executive Officer of Bible League International. "From one corner of the earth to the other, we will stay the course until Jesus returns."
For 75 years, Bible League International has worked with ministry partners to provide the precious Word of God around the world. To date, nearly 160 million Bibles and New Testament have been provided worldwide, many of which have been people's first Bible!
"We thank God for Bible League International, the translators for the Yalunka Bible, the local people who worked with them to make sure it was understandable, and others who have made sure the Scriptures are placed in the hands of those in need of them most," says Wilhoit of Pioneer Bible Translators. "Thank you. This project is a true testament to working together for God's glory."

Take three mini cars and connect them all together and the piece that grabs the chain remove that from all cars except the fist car. Now the firestorm...
Now the lift you take the gear thing and put it in the air instead of néer the track
Now make an other gear pully same as the last one and pull it back 2 and 1/2 track length and place it. And run the chain
On both sides of the coaster extend the track 2 tracks with the u turn
This is the start of the platform I will update as I get ideas on how to finish this part

This hotel is a staple booking for most travelers in and around the Stockton area. It does have a great reputation but I cant quite figure out how! I have stayed for 2 nights as a business traveler and was very disappointed with the level of facilities and decor of the rooms. The beds in my twin room were uncomfortable, the decor was tired and dated and it was difficult to keep the room cool. Being next to the railway line is also a bit of an issue but not a deal breaker.
The staff were helpful and friendly but they were let down by poor food in a restaurant that was trying to be something classier than it actually is and by expensive drinks at the bar. The saving grace here is the free WiFi and the fact you are very close to a great Tesco (for stockign up on snacks) and the Black Bull pub in the picturesque village of Yarm. less

I stayed here on a 3 night business trip in June 2015, the first impression was good, nice looking building and health spa etc. The reception was welcoming but when nearing my room I felt I was stepping back to the 70's.
Inside my room I was a little shocked, there was a terrible smell like carpet cleaning agent that left me with sore eyes, sore throat and almost stoned. The room was grotty, the window didn't fit the frame and a secondary glazed window had been put inside of that again, I soon found out it was to try and drown out the noise of the goods trains passing within 100m of the room.
The carpet was worn and pealing, the paint just the same, inside the bathroom was even more grotty with the door separating from water damage and the grout of a lot of the tiles cracked and blackening. I had to run the bath for 10 min before getting hot water each time before getting into the shower and the shower head was also broken and wouldn't stay in position.
The internet was free but there was no internet, I tried for hours to get onto the net using both my laptop and phone, phoned reception several times and was told they would re-boot the router, it wasn't the router... it's just the weakest of signals. Outside in the hallway or in the bar was the only area I found wifi and each night these areas were full of people surfing the web so I guess everyone was having the same issue.
I asked 3 times on my first day to move room due to the lack of wifi but nobody ever 'got back to me'. Cooked breakfast was over priced, the continental buffet was very poor and the toaster... well lets just say if your planning on staying there.... ask them to put the toast in now ready for your arrival.
I've stayed at better hotels in the middle of the Peruvian desert for 1/10 the cost. My advice would be take a trip down the road to the Premier Inn. less

I recently stayed for one night on a business trip to the area. My room was clean and well appointed, with a seriously comfortable bed. All of the staff were friendly and helpful. The hotel is situated in a really nice area, but there aren't many restaurants or shops within walking distance. Arriving late evening, I decided to take a chance on the hotel restaurant. I rarely do this, because in my experience hotel food is often bland and of poor quality. This was absolutely not the case in this restaurant! I just ordered one course, a home made burger served in a brioche bun, with cheese and bacon, served with chips and salad. It was absolutely fantastic! I'm quite discerning when it comes to food, and I do know good from poor quality. It's not easy to make a really good burger, and rarer still for it to be served in a hotel restaurant. I'd actually say it's the best meal I've ever been served in a hotel. Serious compliments to the chef, and if the manager is reading this, please give them a pay rise quickly, before they move on somewhere else! Very well done. less

This hotel is ok I have stayed there for business purposes on several occasions, unfortunately the breakfast lets it down, the cooked breakfast is ok but the choice of other items ie yoghurt, fruit,pastries, cheese etc is a let down and does not come up to the standard of other hotels in the same price range less
