Kenley Jansen Since debuting in 2010, Kenley Jansen has been one of the game's truly elite relief aces, and 2013 was his best showing yet. Kenley began the year as the set-up man to Brandon League after League was gifted a ridiculous three-year deal, and though the cries were numerous and persistent to not give Brandon high-leverage situations over Kenley, ...

Dodgers release 2013 NLCS roster: Paco, Capuano out; Volquez, Marmol in
The Dodgers released their roster for the 2013 NLCS just moments ago, and … uh … I have no idea what they just did. Suffice to say that my NLCS roster prediction was completely wrong, as they left off two left-handers against a team that can't hit them. Starting Pitchers Clayton Kershaw Zack Greinke Hyun Jin Ryu Ricky Nolasco Relief ... Read More »
[Updated] Dodgers 2013 NLCS player panic ratings: Which player will fans flood my mentions with curse words about?
I did player panic ratings for the Dodgers before the NLDS, so I figured why not do them for the NLCS too? See, while fans go nuts at players during the regular season, they absolutely lose sanity during the postseason. I understand that, because there's more at stake, but sane people let it go after they calm down, while insane ... Read More »
Dodgers vs. Cardinals, 2013 NLCS breakdown: No narrative, just baseball
The Dodgers are set to play the Cardinals in the 2013 NLCS, which is interesting because it's not interesting. In other words, the media hasn't really figured out a narrative here. Jeff Passan of Yahoo! Sports gave it a go, but it was sort of a half-hearted rich/poor thing. So maybe, just MAYBE, the baseball can speak for itself? Here's ... Read More »
Dodgers 2013 NLCS roster projection: The return of Andre Ethier?
The Dodgers head into the 2013 NLCS against the Cardinals looking to be a much better team than they were earlier in the week during the NLDS. While the squad's NLCS roster should look almost identical to the NLDS roster, there should be a couple tweaks, as the club hopes to get Andre Ethier back healthy and perhaps will add ... Read More »
2013 NLDS Game 2: Dodgers 3, Braves 2, Don Mattingly/Jason Heyward 2 – GIFS & the 7th inning from hell
Did Don Mattingly really do that to the Dodgers? Yes, yes he did. The title isn't meant to be disrespectful to the Braves or infer that they didn't deserve to win … but it never ever should have gone the way it did. It was just ridiculously bad decision making on Mattingly's part. —– In the top of the seventh ... Read More »
Making Moves: Seager, 3 others confirmed to AFL + teenagers Gooding & Barrios signed
SS Corey Seager, OF Brian Cavazos Galvez, C Pratt Maynard, and C Chris O'Brien are the four Dodgers prospects confirmed to be headed to the Arizona Fall League in 2013. In addition, four pitchers will likely be sent to the AFL, and they'll be named at a later date. Seager, likely the Dodgers top prospect, headlines the quartet, as O'Brien, ... Read More »
Matt Kemp and Paco Rodriguez team up to foil Brandon League's attempt to blow a 3-run lead
One would think that a three-run lead against a relatively light-hitting, currently struggling Giants lineup would be enough for just about any reliever, but not so for Brandon League. He gave up two runs in the ninth without recording an out, putting the game at 6-5 with a runner on first for Paco Rodriguez to save. He did just that ... Read More »
Dodgers deal Aaron Harang for Ramon Hernandez, add depth, pay another to play elsewhere
Yesterday, the Dodgers dealt Aaron Harang to the Rockies for catcher Ramon Hernandez and effectively cleared room in their bullpen for the return of Chad Billingsley on Wednesday. The Dodgers on Saturday made official their trade of pitcher Aaron Harang and cash to the Rockies for catcher Ramon Hernandez. Oddly enough though, the Rockies designated Harang for assignment immediately, so ... Read More »
Dodgers 2013 Opening Day roster appears set after team cuts 8
The Dodgers announced the cuts of eight players yesterday, moves that essentially set the Opening Day roster for the team. The club reassigned right-handers Kevin Gregg and Peter Moylan, utility man Alfredo Amezaga and catcher Matt Wallach to Minor League camp. In addition, the Dodgers optioned outfielder Alex Castellanos, right-hander Stephen Fife, utility man Elian Herrera and right-hander Josh Wall ... Read More »
A Dodgers Opening Day roster prediction with Gregg and Castellanos, but without Capuano
Opening Day for the Dodgers is Monday, and since Spring Training feels like it has taken forever, it's about damn time. Given the closeness of the start of the season though, it's a bit odd that there are so many question marks as to what will happen with the roster. Every team has to deal with decisions on the 24th ... Read More »
Making Moves: Matt Wallach, Sean White, and the World Baseball Classic
Matt Wallach has replaced Eliezer Alfonzo in major-league camp for Spring Training. Alfonzo, one of the tens of Spring Training invitees operating on a minor-league deal, is suffering from dengue virus (yes, really). Eliezer will report to the minor-league portion of Camelback Ranch when he's healthy enough to do so. Nobody knows when that will be, but he was a ... Read More »
Three Dodgers — Paco, Amezaga, Moylan — withdraw from WBC to focus on winning jobs
Paco Rodriguez, Alfredo Amezaga, and Peter Moylan, three Dodgers with shots at making the Opening Day roster, have withdrawn from the World Baseball Classic to focus on making the club. With Scott Elbert rehabbing, Paco in particular is competing for the spot of left-handed reliever, though J.P. Howell would appear to be the front-runner there. Moylan is in the running ...

Injury Roll Call: The elbows of Billingsley, Crawford, and Elbert + Withrow's nagging back
The Dodgers begin their 2013 Spring Training with a ton of injury concerns, and now that the whole team has reported, it's time for an update on player statuses. No better way to start this off than with Chad Billingsley, who might be the biggest question mark of all even if the depth acquired has mitigated the consequences if he ... Read More »
Josh Beckett hopefully not fat: Dodgers Spring Training dates, daily schedules, home/away caps
The Dodgers pitchers and catchers report to Camelback Ranch today, on Feb. 12, which officially kicks off the baseball season for the team, and tomorrow, on Feb. 13, they'll have their first workout, in which I like to imagine Aaron Harang lumbering through conditioning drills like a monkey.

$44,502 – $49,746 Invoice
Enter your information and a representative will contact you for this 2006 Lincoln Navigator !
What's New
Minor changes only for the 2006 Lincoln Navigator, since it received a major refresh in 2005. New on Ultimate trim models are an Elite package that includes 18-inch chrome wheels, a navigation system, High Intensity Discharge (HID) headlamps, a rear-seat entertainment system, heavy-duty trailer towing package, power running boards, and the THX Certified audio system (originally created for use in movie theaters) that provides excellent audio quality. A few color changes include the addition of Pewter Clearcoat Metallic for the exterior, a Charcoal Black interior, and the option of the Birch Clearcoat Metallic exterior with the Monotone Appearance Package.
The Navigator full-size luxury sport utility vehicle has been popular since its introduction in 1998, and lays claim to inventing the segment. The Navigator also stands out as the vehicle that first introduced dual-stage air bags, which deploy with less force to help reduce injuries to occupants, as well as the first to have heated and cooled seats. It's also the first to feature power-deployable running boards, power fold-flat third-row seats, and a power-operated lift gate.
Speaking of power, Ford's Triton 5.4L V-8 moves the Navigator down the road with 300 hp and 365 lb.-ft. of torque. Navigator also sports a four-wheel independent suspension, rack-and-pinion steering, and a standard six-speed transmission. In terms of safety, Navigator features standard anti-lock brakes, side-curtain airbags, a tire pressure monitoring system, and AdvanceTrac stability control program with Roll Stability Control, a system that senses a potential rollover and helps to keep the vehicle firmly on the ground.
Elegant interior touches match the cleanly styled exterior. Real American burl walnut, high-quality leather, and light emitting diode (LED) instruments set the interior apart. Available in two- or four-wheel drive, the Navigator has a maximum towing capacity of 8,600 lbs. when properly equipped. Other available features include a navigation system with voice-activation, a rear-seat entertainment system with DVD player, as well as the audiophile-quality THX sound system.
The Competition
There are ten players in the Large Premium Utility segment, but there are several models from the same manufacturer competing against each other. For example, the Cadillac Escalade and the extended-wheelbase ESV are included, as is the Hummer H2 and H2 SUT, as well as the Range Rover and Range Rover Sport from Land Rover. The Lexus LX Series and the Toyota Land Cruiser, which are on the same platform, the Infiniti QX56, and the Lincoln Navigator round out the segment.
According to the J.D. Power and Associates Sales Report,SM the sales leader in calendar year 2005 is the Cadillac Escalade, with sales of 29,876, followed by the Navigator at 25,844.

South Florida Paddle LLCRead Morefacet: Main type: Traditional locale: en_US title: South Florida Paddle LLC facet_type_id: 6abd96d0-5c7d-1032-9a97-cb01dc6e9b36 html_text: A lifelong resident of West Palm Beach, Marissa first spotted a paddleboard while thumbing through the glossy pages of a magazine. Intrigued, she scouted her hometown to sign up for a lesson and enjoyed her first experience with the sport so much that she bought her first board the next day. Not long after, Marissa launched South Florida Paddle LLC, a mobile standup paddleboard rental and tour company. Meeting up with clients at designated spots between Lake Worth Beach and Jupiter Island, Marissa leads excursions that range from shoreline ventures through ocean waves to calm glides along intracoastal waterways. Depending on the time of year, eco tours bring paddlers up close to an array of wildlife, such as manatees, spotted eagle rays, or starfish. The nocturnally-inclined can embark on a night SUP glow tour to watch the sun go down and the LED lights come up. For independent explorers, Marissa rents Cruiser ACS standup paddleboards for daytime adventures, as well as sunrise, sunset, and full-moon paddles for renters looking to hide their werewolf paws from family and friends.10900 Jack Nicklaus DriveNorth Palm Beach, FL US
Park Avenue BBQ & GrilleRead MoreWhen Dean Lavallee opened the first Park Avenue BBQ in 1988, he had one lofty mission in mind: to serve the best barbecue ever made. Despite the seemingly impossible nature of his goal, he and his team continue to rise to the challenge, dry-rubbing their meats to smoke and char-grill on-site. They use all-natural, grain-fed, domestic pork for their traditional and Carolina-style barbecue pork—pulled by hand—and only use fresh, never-frozen ribs that are smoked daily over hickory. As diners chow down on hearty homestyle sides, seafood platters, or buffalo wings tossed in one of six sauces, they can admire the dining room's pictures of their city's most prominent people, places, and robot mayors. Park Avenue BBQ arranges their meats into fun, hearty dishes such as the Dempublican sandwich, which combines smoked pork and beef brisket separated only by cheese and bacon to create a sizeable sandwich that the team has dubbed "porkalicious". They whip up Funnybonz, which look and taste like miniature ribs, using tender, lean pork that's prepared by cooking up regular ribs beneath a shrink ray. In 2008, their dedication to each dish caused Cityvoter's users to name Park Avenue BBQ the best barbecue in town.525 US Hwy. 1North Palm Beach, FL US

Quantum confinement causes the dielectric function of nanometer-sized metal particles to depart from metallic bulk dispersion in a manner correlating with the size, shape, and spacing of the nanostructures. An improved effective medium approximation is formulated to reconcile angle-dependent ultraviolet/visible spectroscopy and spectroscopic ellipsometry measurements of the collective optical dispersion of randomly distributed hemispherical gallium nanoparticles deposited on a sapphire surface using ultra high vacuum molecular beam epitaxy. Atomic force microscopy and scanning electron microscopy analyze the size distribution of the nanoparticle ensembles to estimate their volume fraction. The optical constants are then estimated using a modified Maxwell-Garnett effective medium approximation that treats the ambient vacuum as a host and the bare sapphire substrate as a semi-infinite layer. The refined dielectric function improves estimates of the collective plasmonic response of the nanoparticle ensemble.

The global search for this year's best wildlife photos ends this week when entries to the Veolia Environnement Wildlife Photographer of the Year competition close next Monday.
Professionals and amateurs of all ages have until 8 March 2010 to submit their images into the world's most prestigious wildlife photography competition, owned by the Natural History Museum and BBC Wildlife Magazine.
The competition is in its 46th year and includes 11 adult categories such as Creative Visions of Nature, Urban Wildlife and Animal Portraits.
Wildlife Photojournalist of the Year is a new award for the 2010 competition. Photographers submit 6 pictures that tell a memorable story. They must work without the aid of words and will be judged by the picture quality as well as the power of the story itself.
There are 2 overall winners, Veolia Environnement Wildlife Photographer of the Year and Veolia Environnement Young Wildlife Photographer of the Year.
Mark Carwardine, chair of the judging panel, zoologist, writer and photographer says, 'People always ask me how you win. The answer is simple – originality. The judges are looking for something that stops them in their tracks, something really creative, fresh and surprising.'
All winning and commended photographers will have their images showcased in an international exhibition that debuts at the Natural History Museum, London in October 2010 before touring venues across the world.
Winning images are also featured in a special supplement to the November issue of BBC Wildlife Magazine as well as a hardback commemorative portfolio.
You can see the winning 2009 images at the Natural History Museum until 11 April 2010. It is in the Museum's largest gallery, with photographs exhibited in a larger scale, and there are audio guides too.

"The Birth and Baby Fair is a wonderful event.
Whether you are about to become a first time
parent, already have a house full of kiddos, or
are thinking about joining the parenthood club,
there is something for you. The knowledge, resources, and information you gain from the
workshops and vendors is incredibly useful;
however the best part of the Birth and Baby
Fair is the sense of community you feel while
you're there and carry with you when you go.
To know you're not alone on this crazy
adventure is both comforting and exciting." Sarah Brinkman (mama to Wally - age 9 months)

Living in the Gump House on East Holston Avenue has been an adventure for Rick and Lisa Rolen.
They've been in the unique, historic home for 19 years and have breathed new life into the property, renovating it step by step to make the place modern and livable while retaining its character.
Built in 1820 and renovated in the early 1900s, the house still boasts features that speak of eras long past. There's a hoop skirt balcony high above the front porch, looking out through four massive 22-foot-high white columns. The side porch is set high enough off the driveway for horse-and-carriage passengers to safely step down.
There are 9-foot ceilings and 21â"2-foot-thick walls. The 100-year-old radiators, which the Rolens kept, still help heat the home — although it took some imagination to hide or decorate them all.
Back in the time when all wealthy people had full-time staff around the house, the Rolens' guest cottage was a kitchen house, and in the main house, what's now a wet bar and kitchen prep area was a butler's pantry.
"Those kinds of things I find fascinating," Lisa said. "It's a wonderful house. They don't build houses like this anymore.
"You do have a wonderful sense of history here."
The home was built by John Bowman as a wedding gift for his daughter. It's one of the oldest existing homes in Johnson City and was part of the 160-acre Hillrise Farm. That land is now home to the Johnson City Country Club as well as the Johnson City Airport.
It wasn't until 1907 that Harry D. Gump, the notable developer and businessman, bought the house and gave it a thorough renovation. Gump started the first modern subdivision in Johnson City, now called The Gump Addition, in the late 1920s, with this home as one of the highlights.
The Gump House is a parklike property of nearly three acres, with trees, a creek and a big lawn. Lisa said she was smitten the moment she saw it.
"When we were looking for a house, we saw lots of new subdivisions, and they were nice, but it wasn't what we were looking for. We wanted an old house with character. Then finally we stumbled upon this one. I got halfway up the driveway and I said 'This is it.'
"I'm a city girl, but I love the privacy. There's plenty of room to play. It's got the best of everything."
Not every house was right for them, and not every home owner was right for the Gump House, but this was the perfect match.
Rick is a doctor at Johnson City Internal Medicine Associates and served in the Navy. The couple met in Italy, where Lisa lived for several years. She's also spent time in Libya, San Francisco and Charleston, S.C., among other locations, and has experience renovating historic homes.
Lisa's experience includes working in the hotel industry, serving as a flight attendant for a cargo airline called Flying Tigers, and operating MC Design Studio for 10 years.
She credits her parents with giving her "a really great global, visual database to see things, that makes it all interconnected." Her love of Italian style attracted her to the bold, simple elements of the Gump home's design.
When they bought the place, the Rolens knew it needed updating, but they didn't realize at first just what was in store for them.
They started out simply wanting to add air conditioning to make it easier on Lisa's asthma. That required serious rewiring, which turned into redoing the entire attic-like third floor. The more they uncovered, the more updating they had to do, including the removal of lead-pipe plumbing. Soon the job spread to all three floors.
"We started out just doing air conditioning and ended up reviving the whole house," Lisa said. "It just evolved. We had no plan to gut and redo the whole place."
They remade the third floor, half as a storage area and the other half as an elegant, comfortable recreation/relaxation room with big-screen TV, recliners and a bar.
That required hauling out 13,000 pounds of plaster from the attic. Then the narrow stairway to the third floor wouldn't accommodate moving the furniture up step-by-step from the inside, so the Rolens had it hoisted from the outside through a large window via furniture jack.
They installed a half-bath right next to the TV viewing area, but plumbing issues wouldn't allow a full toilet, so they installed a wall urinal that somehow still looks elegant. (Ladies use a second-floor bathroom.) That's in keeping with the Rolens' sense of humor and their down-to-earth approach to making it a functional home rather than one just for show.
"We live in every single room in the house," Lisa said. "We've completely updated it so it's in the 21st century, and we have done a lot in terms of making it user-friendly."
The 7,174-square-foot home has four bedrooms and 31â"2 bathrooms. The second floor houses the bedrooms and two baths and Lisa's office with its wall-to-wall windows; "It's like my tree house," she said.
The first floor, with its decorative plaster walls and mix of hardwood, stone and painted floors, contains all the public rooms, including a large entrance hall, reading room, garden dining room and library/TV room.
Two of the four massive front columns had faulty bases and needed to be repaired, not an easy job. In fact, finding craftsmen and contractors with the expertise to do some of the renovation work was at times a challenge because the Rolens wanted to reproduce old techniques as much as possible.
Much of the work they did themselves. With no kids around, they were able to leave parts of the house in disarray when they quit each night, then pick up the next day right where they stopped.
Lisa did extensive faux finish painting, a technique fairly common in Italy and San Francisco but not here, making the wood floors in several rooms look like marble tile. Lisa is an expert cook, as well, and loves to entertain, so the kitchen was remodeled to her high standards.
"When this was built, the kitchen was a working space for the help," she said. Now she calls it "a working kitchen of the highest order."
The radiator in the kitchen, with a decorative ceramic top to it, now serves as a warm place to set bread so the dough will rise, she added. The screened-in porch next to the kitchen is now a sun room that Lisa at first didn't like, "but now it's my favorite room in the house."
They totally redid the old kitchen house — twice — to turn it into a cheerful, comfortable guest cottage that is extremely popular with family and friends. And they buried the electrical lines coming from the main house to the street.
"It's had a wonderful face lift but we retained everything we could possibly retain," Lisa said. "We're very big on recycling. We would not have built a house this big for ourselves, but we feel like we rescued a big house, and to us that's a big difference. And it's a house that needed rescuing or it would've been lost."
There are still imperfections, such as original doors that don't hang straight and floors that aren't quite level. The Rolens wanted to maintain the house's character. They also had to work around many features that couldn't be moved around, such as interior chimneys.
"An old house is like old age," Lisa said. "You just learn to accept that there are some things you can't change."
Alas, the Rolens are ready to downsize and they've listed the house for sale ($775,000). They have their hands full with other property they own — an Italian bed-and-breakfast with 10 acres of olive grove, and a 350-acre farm in Virginia that they plan to develop into a hunting destination.
But they'll always treasure the Gump House — even if it was nearly two decades of work, one project leading to another. Everything, it seems, has turned out well.
"We've been led by serendipity," Lisa said with a smile. "It's been a great ride."

HI i am addicted to a social media blog www.twitterblogpost.com. But it is not here in the list. I do not know why..
My eyes must be going! Appreciate the nomination and hope to be a finalist next year. Congrats to all!
PR at Sunrise - worob.com
Mark...You got my vote & tweet too!!! Great and fresh content!
On behalf of the March Communications team, I'd like to thank everyone for voting for PR Nonsense. It's such an honor to be considered against the other top PR blogs, such as PR Breakfast Club and Gen-Y PRogress.
Nominations closed last week, Steve. Would have loved to add it on the fly, but want to keep with the original guidelines/rules of the event. Thanks for stopping by--hope you'll consider voting!
Sorry! Sent the reply via email and forgot to edit my signature. But I'll let you know if it worked. ;-)
Great--glad you found the list helpful. Might make sense to go through the nominee post, too. A number of great blogs there, too.
Arik as a British social media champion and PR I absolutely love the idea of these awards as as great platform for showcasing the wealth of talent. I already follow some of your finalists including Gini Dietrich and Mark Schaefer and these awards have introduced me to even more great people and companies with whom we can engage. Thanks a million!
Is this a blog comment or an advert..? ;-)
Great proposal, but hey, this is the 'net, not a high school yearbook that only comes out once a year. Why can't a category be added "on the fly" right now?

Oddly, I think there's a lot of value in losing, too. Some of the best lessons I learned when I was younger were because I lost. And I can't tell you how much that helped me later in life, too.
Potential new category for next year?
There's still time ;)
For the record, I did vote, but in certain categories it did not feel right to choose a favorite. Different blogs offer different experiences. Not always a "better/worse' sort of thing.
Now are you ready to come sit down for circle time?
Congrats to all! It was definitely a hard vote!
Where's Mine?!
PR at Sunrise - worob.com
Thanks to whomever nominated me. Alas, I'm not much for popularity contests, so I sincerely hope someone else in my category (for whom winning an award may actually mean something) takes the honors. But, all the same, it's nice to be recognized as relevant, even in passing.
How is it that we're not in a separate category for blog with the most useful PR podcasts? http://blog.lubetkin.net/
You shoulda been a kindergarten teacher.
Thanks for the nomination! Humbled to be in that great company.
I was joking - you know how in grade schools now they don't have winners and losers? They just have winners. It's kind of ridiculous. I am teaching all of my nieces and nephews how to win!
A) What grade school did you go to where you won all the time? I lost in grade school. A lot. ;) B) Yes, this is an award/contest. But, it's also a great community-building event. I look back at last year's finalists and I see a number of people I'd call good friends now. I also see the best and brightest in our online community. This year's finalists didn't happen on this list by accident. They all got there by producing content our community finds valuable--day after day. It's only tough because there are so many great blogs to read--but I think this event provides a pretty nice snapshot.
Highly recommend you add ALL of these folks to your Google Reader. Can't wait to see the results but Congratulations to all the nominees. The real winner here is the reader :)
wow -- tough choices. congrats to all nominees and thanks for providing worthwhile content, information and lots of ah-ha moments.
I asked if this could be like grade school and we could all win, but I guess that's not how this works. I love our blog, of course, but I also love my competitor's blogs...and I read them every day. This IS hard!
Voting was hard, too many good choices!
So honored to be nominated...
Wow, awesome, thanks for the mentions Arik :)
So humbling to be nominated again, thank you to everyone!

Juanita offers to buy Tabitha's house; Kay and Fancy convince Luis and Miguel to leave; Theresa refuses to listen to her mother; Vincent and Valerie make fiendish plans.
Tabitha welcomes Juanita into her home. Juanita introduces herself as Amelia Hernandez, a widow, and starts complimenting the witch on her taste in decorating. She explains that she is planning on moving to Harmony and heard that Tabitha rents rooms. Tabs is surprised and asks her why she'd want to do something like that. Juanita asks her about running a boarding house and wonders who her tenants are. When Tabitha explains it's Kay and Miguel, Juanita recognizes the names and begins asking about Pilar and her family. Tabitha says they're nice and have exciting lives. She offers to tell her whatever she wants to know. Juanita grins. Tabitha says you could write a gossip magazine about them, the children anyway since Pilar is just a boring saint. Tabitha tells her how Luis, the "bedroom genius", has worked his way through the Crane women one by one. Then she talks about "obsessive-compulsive" Theresa. "If you cut into anyone in that family, sex, not blood, would drip out," Tabitha laughs. "I doubt it," Juanita says. Tabitha still doesn't understand why she wants to move in. There's nowhere Juanita would rather be. Tabby says she doesn't have room. Juanita pleads, though it sounds as if Tabitha doesn't want to live there either. She admits that she doesn't. Juanita offers to buy her house. The witch is perplexed, but Juanita says it's simple. Tabitha looks around at her home. "I've lived her for so long... four hundred years," she says, before covering by claiming it's just been a long time. Juanita suggests that she's in a bit of a rut and she should kick up her heels somewhere else. Tabitha wonders if it's about time that Endora meet some of her relatives... She agrees and shakes Juanita's hand. Juanita hugs her, telling her she won't regret it. "But Pilar and her family will," she thinks to herself. They discuss price but money is no object for Juanita... she does have one condition though: She wants to be introduced to all of the neighbors, starting with the Lopez-Fitzgeralds.
Theresa runs around the mansion obsessing over Ethan. Her mother wishes she'd snap out of this when there is a mad woman ready to kill them. Theresa repeats that she doesn't care if she dies if she can't have Ethan. She is going to stay just to make sure that Gwen and Ethan can't re-commit. Pilar explains that Fancy and Kay are convincing their men to leave right now. Theresa doesn't think it will happen. Pilar is increasingly frustrated. She explains that Juanita has already killed her friend Carmelita. Suddenly, Carmelita calls. She doesn't even know how she's still alive but she's leaving the country as soon as she hangs up and recommends that Pilar do the same. Pilar starts to apologize to her friend. Carmelita explains that Juanita found the photo of Luis. "Get out of Harmony! She wants your blood!" Carmelita warns. After she tearfully says goodbye and hangs up, Pilar blames herself for everything. "We're dead! We're all dead!" Pilar says to her daughter. Theresa starts talking about Ethan again, insisting that she is in no danger as long as Juanita thinks she is dead. Her mother thinks she's being foolish. Theresa refuses to listen, no matter how many times Pilar repeats her warnings.
In their room, Kay and Miguel roll around in bed. She stops before they can make love, reminding him that he isn't getting any unless he agrees to go on the trip around the world. "Whatever you want," he gives in. She gets on top of him and he suggests they get married before leaving. She jumps off and reminds him that he agreed to go on the trip. If he backs out, he'll be stuck in Harmony with no sex. There are lots of places in Europe they can get married, she points out. He suspects there's more to this and asks why she really wants to go on this trip. She explains the truth.
Luis and Fancy are in bed in her room. She agrees to make love to him as long as he agrees to go along for the trip. He agrees and they start kissing. "As soon as I find Vincent we'll go," he adds. She pushes him away and gets out of bed. He's annoyed. She accuses him of changing the rules in the middle of the game. "You're choosing your job over wild sex with me... I hope your badge keeps you warm at night, or maybe Vincent will. I know it worked for Chad," she quips. Besides, no one catches criminals in this town. She could be old and grey before that happens. Flashing him, she starts to tease him about going away alone, maybe to Italy to see the gorgeous men. Climbing back in bed, she tells him that she doesn't want to go alone. He suspects there is something she's not telling him. She explains the truth to him. He calls Miguel and they agree to get together to talk about what to do.
Kay and Miguel sneak into the mansion to meet with Luis and Fancy. "We all have to get out of town right now," Kay insists. The men exchange glances. The women remind them of their children and how Juanita killed Theresa the last time she fought them. Running is the only way to protect them all. Miguel and Luis don't like the idea of running. Kay reminds them that they should always follow Pilar's advice; otherwise they'll end up like Theresa. After bringing up all the sex they'll get if they agree, the men finally do agree to leave.
Vincent brings Viki home to Eve's house and eagerly unveils his project. He shows her the board he's made. It contains pictures of Harmony's residents. He asks Viki what all of these people have in common, "They're irritating," she shrugs. They're all ready to be killed, he explains. She works alone and mass killing isn't her thing, she insists. Besides, she kills to protect herself. She killed anyone who posed a threat to her staying with Esme. Vincent doesn't buy her excuse. When he brings up her long lost parents, she becomes defensive. He's checked into her past and he knows she killed her parents. She won't deny it. "Don't call me a serial killer," she says. He doesn't have a better word. Her parents were going to send her away so she had to get rid of them. She doesn't seem to think things through, he comments. Everyone's got a talent; the two of them just happen to be good at killing. She admits that it can be fun. They begin talking excitedly about slaughtering everyone and he starts offering her reasons to kill each of them. "Even with the two of us together, there is still a lot of work to be done," he says. It would be more efficient to do them all at once... and he knows just the opportunity: The big wedding. They both grin. "A town of sitting ducks just waiting for duck hunting season to begin," he smiles. When he pulls out his plans to study, she gets bored. It's starting to sound like homework. "It's the planning and anticipation that's the fun part," he reminds her. Killing is empty, planning is fun. She agrees. "It's like I found my twin," he says. They giddily go over their plans for a day Harmony will never forget, "If there is anyone left to remember!"
Next on Passions:
Little Ethan tells his mother to sit back and watch. "You won't be disappointed," he promises.
Luis and Miguel make Pilar happy by agreeing to go on the trip.
Tabitha tells Kay that if they want to survive they all have to leave.

Justin Lin may be a Hollywood director working in a popular mold, but close readings of his films makes it clear that he is imparting a personal imprint. His Tokyo Drift configures Japan as a fully realized, lived-in space visited by an outsider, the film's sense of dislocation not unlike Sofia Coppola's Lost in Translation. Fast Five, likewise, imagines Brazil as a multicultural mecca, and it remains one of the precious few Hollywood blockbusters to wholly embrace the racial diversity of its cast. These are valuable elements of films that have been widely dismissed as vacuous and trashy. Vulgar auteurism means respecting such films enough to give them the careful evaluation they deserve.
It's important to recall that the "vulgar" part of vulgar auteurism doesn't refer to crudeness, but to commonality; it argues against the notion that the only films worth talking about are those designed for an arthouse audience. Much like the Young Turks of the French New Wave, who aimed in their Cahiers du cinéma writing to bring critical appreciation to Hollywood filmmakers widely considered unworthy—and from Alfred Hitchcock to Samuel Fuller, their efforts have since been vindicated by history—it is the task of the vulgar auteurists to find the value buried in films we otherwise think of as trashy, unsophisticated, or obscene.

SEPManager ver11.0.7101 is not able to update client ver11.0.7101
Hi everyone,
I have installed SEP client ver11.0.7101 that on two of my client pc, but it will not get the lastes update from SEPM ver 11.0.7101. After that i try to uninstalled the SEP client ver11.07101 and reinstall ver11.0.6300 for both of the pc and import Sylink file, after that client able to link to server and update definition.
Can someone tell me whats the problem that cause new package that extract from SEPM ver11.0.7101 wont get the latest virus definition from SEPM?
Comments 3 Comments • Jump to latest comment
What OS is the SEP client running on?
Is the Server and client machines on Domain Environment or Workgroup?
Could you please let me know if after installing SEP client ver 11.0.7101, does it report to the SEPM ver 11.0.7101?
As per the notes above it seems that you are first installing the Unmanaged client and then replacing the sylink.xml to make the SEP client to manage, is that correct?
After you install SEP client ver 11.0.7101, did you try replacing the Sylink.xml and check if it is able to communicate to the SEPM?
Could you please upload us the sylink.log from the client machine after you install the SEP client ver 11.0.7101 to understand the root cause. Here is the article to collect the sylink.log.
How to enable Sylink debugging for the Symantec Endpoint Protection 11.x and 12.1 client in the Windows Registry http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH104758
If incase these machines are Windows 7 machines, I would recommend you to:
a. Disable the Windows Firewall or create exceptions for the ports on these machines to communicate to the SEPM http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH163787
b. Disable the UAC (User Account Control) and restart the machine.
c. If that does not work, please provide us with sylink.log from one of those machine.
Hope that helps!!

That means these clients are communicating with the SEPM ver 11.0.7101, however these are not able to update the definitions.
What OS are these clients running on?
Are you using any proxy?
Could you upload the sylink log as requested above and work on the steps provided in the article below:

Document ID: 69291
Updated: Mar 03, 2006
The Commonwealth Games are coming to Melbourne in 2006. The time for
daylight savings in many states in Australia has been altered. This document
describes the impact of the change in daylight savings time on Optical
products, and provides a workaround.
In Australia, the end of the daylight savings time has been moved from
the last week of March to the first week of April. The implication of this
change is that instead of ending on Sunday, the 26th
of March, 2006 at 3:00AM, the daylight savings time will end on Sunday, the
2nd of April, 2006 at 3:00AM. This change applies
only for the year 2006. The change in daylight savings time affects these
states in Australia:
South Australia
New South Wales
There are no specific requirements for this document.
The information in this document is based on these software and
hardware versions:
ONS 153xx
The information in this document was created from the devices in a
specific lab environment. All of the devices used in this document started with
a cleared (default) configuration. If your network is live, make sure that you
understand the potential impact of any command.
Refer to
Technical Tips Conventions for more information on document
All versions of the Cisco Transport Controller (CTC) provide you with
the ability to enable or disable Daylight Savings Time, and also to change the
time on your nodes.
In a situation where the dates are different from the defaults, as is
the case in Australia to accommodate the Common Wealth games, you must assume
manual control over the time settings, and make changes during the period when
the default behavior no long applies.
During the period between 26th March and
2nd April 2006, the system will automatically follow
the rules set for the previous daylight savings time. In other words, the
system will automatically modify the clock and reflect incorrect time, because,
on 26th March 2006, the system will automatically
presume that the daylight savings time has taken effect.
During this period, you need to assume manual control over the system
time and force the system clock to reflect the correct time at the start and
end of the period. Note that this problem does not apply if you use an NTP or
SNTP system that is updated to reflect the 2006 daylight savings time
Use this solution to solve the problem.
Use the capability to modify the system time, and reset the system
Manually disable the daylight savings time on 26th March,
Reset the system clock to reflect the correct
Enable the daylight savings time once again on
2nd April 2006, and ensure that the time is
Note: For more information on time zone configuration and how to reset
the time, refer to the relevant procedure guide for the Cisco ONS release that
you use. For example, if you use Cisco ONS 15454, refer to

The Shortest Path to Peace in Syria
- Political - Article Ref: IV1309-5524Number of comments:
By: Nicola Nasser
Iviews* -
Because "defensive alliances which have fixed and limited objectives are often more
durable," the "Syria-Iran alliance has survived" more than three decades of unwavering and insistent US
- led military, economic, diplomatic and media campaign to dismantle it, but it is still enduring
"because it has been primarily defensive in nature" and "aimed largely at neutralizing
... Israeli capabilities and preventing American encroachment in the Middle
This was the conclusion of the professor of International Relations at Webster University Geneva, Switzerland, Jubin M. Goodarzi, in his 2006 book,
"Syria and Iran: Diplomatic Alliance and Power Politics in the Middle East."
Professor Goodarzi's conclusion is worth highlighting amid the thick smoke screen of
"chemical weapons," "civil war," "responsibility to protect" and the "dictatorship
- democracy" rhetoric of the US - Israeli propaganda, which is now misleading the world public opinion away from the core fact that the current Syrian conflict is the inevitable outcome of the 45 - year old Israeli occupation of the Syrian Arab Golan Heights in 1967.
Israel, protected by what President Barak Obama repeatedly describe as the "unshakable" support of the United States, is still maintaining its military occupation of the Golan as a
"bargaining chip" to enforce upon Syria, irrespective of the regime and who is ruling in Damascus, the fait accompli which was created forcefully by the creation of the State of Israel in Palestine in 1948.
The US support to dictating the resulting fait accompli to Syria manifested itself first by empowering Israel by US arms and tax payer money to gain the
"bargaining chip" of the Golan Heights, then by protecting the ongoing Israeli occupation of this Syrian territory.
The "bargaining chips" of the Sinai peninsula and the West Bank of River Jordan proved successful by dictating the Israeli terms on the signing of the
"peace" treaties with Egypt in 1979, with Jordan in 1994 and the Oslo peace agreements with the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) in 1993, but failed so far to produce similar results with Syria and Lebanon, which remain in a
"state of war" with Israel, mainly because Damascus still insists on making peace according to international law and the UN resolutions.
Damascus "did" engage the peace making process. The assumption to power of late al-Assad senior in 1971 was hailed by the US and its regional allies because he first of all recognized the UN Security Council resolutions No. 242 and 338, the basis of the US
- sponsored so - called Arab - Israeli "peace process;" he fell out with his "comrades" in the ruling Baath party specifically because of this recognition.
Instead of building on al-Assad senior's constructive approach, Washington made every effort to pressure him to accept the
"Israeli" terms of peace: US sanctions were imposed on Syria and the country was condemned as a state sponsor of terror because of hosting the political offices of anti - Israeli occupation Palestinian and Lebanese resistance movements.
Only months after its invasion of Iraq, the US concluded it was very well positioned -- and Syria very well cornered between US occupation in the east, the Israeli occupation in the west, the Jordanian, Palestinian and Egyptian peace accords with Israel in the south and the Turkish NATO member in the north - - to pressure Syria into submission.
On December 12, 2003 the Congress passed into law the "Syria Accountability Act," the main purpose of which was to disarm Syria and deprive it of all its defensive means and
"resistance" allies, long before the eruption of the ongoing current conflict in Syria.

delivery from here took 3 hours. i'm sure that this amount of time is fine if you're ordering in preparation for tomorrow night's meal but don't order from here if you want today's lunch or dinner to arrive in a timely manner. receptionists were less than friendly.

This place is where I go when I want the best kosher meat on the east side. The staff is always polite, even when the place is packed. The prepared foods are also good as well. They are great if you are looking for an easy dinner, or have to entertain people who are strictly kosher.

I had one terrible experience and it put a bad taste in my mouth. I placed an order, they called me an hour later to tell me they didn't have what I wanted and kept me on hold for 10 minutes. This was a Monday at noon mind you. When I said I ordered an hour ago the woman rudely replied "yeah?". So I declined ordering something else I could have killed my own chicken and made soup in that time.

Last week I ordered a matzoh ball soup, Spanish rice, and 2 Chicken breasts stuffed with apples and cranberrries. There was enough food to feed 4, and I gave my friend the leftovers, which he said he was eating for the next 2 days. This was the 3rd time I ordered, it has always been more-than-enough food. I wasn't a huge fan of the wild rice dish I got (my friend liked it though), but all the meat and chicken dishes I've gotten have been delicious. I recommend this place for people with bug appetites.

As a mom, I'm often too busy to cook from scratch or shop. I ordered the family size Matzo Ball Soup last week and I have to say it was the best I have tasted in a while. I called in the order that morning because I was going to be running late. The prices on the prime meats are a bit high but I can't find better meat. The shicken thighs with spinach and rice is great also. My kids love the chicken fingers. They are busy in the afternoons so it's best to call in the order but everybody is polite when I walk in the door. You can't beat good service and good food!

When I placed an order for the simple Matzo Ball Soup and asked the question, when can it be delivered? The answer was within three hours! I was charged an extra five dollars for an "express delivery" Outrageous. I would never order from this restaurant ever again. Save your money and find some place better.

I placed an order online. The order was to be delivered for fathers day. I recieved one phone call message saying one of the items was not available. I returned the call saying that it was fine and please ship the order. A week later, no confimation email, no correspondence at all. I called and Inquired about the status of the order. It was deleted. Nothing was delivered. My father recieved nothing! I called and expressed my dissapointment. The person who answered confirmed they deleted my order and said they sent three emails which I never got. I asked if he was in my shoes how would he deal with it, and he said "I would just deal" and there was nothing he could do. So dissapointed. This manager disgraced the Kosher/Jewish community. So dissapointed!

New Media: March 17

Tina Fey and Paul Rudd star in "Admission."
Here's a quick guide to the week in entertainment:
"Admission": Brainy, hilarious Tina Fey and funny, eternally boyish Paul Rudd are a dream couple for a certain demographic. Hopefully there's not too much going on — office politics at Princeton, a son given up for adoption — to prevent them from spending quality time together.
ALSO: "The Croods," "Olympus Has Fallen"
Movies open Friday
"Zero Dark Thirty": Like "Argo," which beat it for the best picture Oscar, this drama about the hunt for Osama bin Laden succeeds though the ending is never in doubt. Unlike Ben Affleck, "Zero Dark Thirty's" star, Jessica Chastain, wasn't holding an Oscar at the end of the night, though she earned it, too.
ALSO: "Bachelorette," "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey," "Rust and Bone"
DVDs in stores Tuesday
Kasey Musgraves, "Same Trailer Different Park": The title of the Texas country singer's major-label debut comes from "Merry Go Round," the single that wowed music critics last year — it finished 25th on the Village Voice's almost country-free year-end music poll. "Follow Your Arrow," an anthem to individuality that's cool with girls kissing girls and rolling a joint (or not), should keep the buzz going.
ALSO: Billy Bragg, "Tooth & Nail"; Brian McKnight, "More Than Words"; Justin Timberlake, "The 20/20 Experience"
CDs in stores Tuesday
"The Book of My Lives," Aleksandar Hemon: Displacement and otherness are the big themes of these biographical essays by the acclaimed novelist ("The Lazarus Project") — that's the point of the cute alien on the cover. But there's also, sex, drugs, rock 'n' roll and soccer.
ALSO: "Six Years," Harlan Coben; "Family Pictures," Jane Green; "Point Your Face at This," Demitri Martin
Books in stores Tuesday

Yellowstone National Park and Concessioner Employees, Montana and Wyoming Departments of Environmental Quality, and Environmental Protection Agency, Region 8, Environmental Stewardship at Yellowstone National Park and the greater Yellowstone area, Wyoming.
Jim Evanoff
In 1997, when Yellowstone National Park celebrated its 125th anniversary as the world's first national Park, Park staff began the "Greening of Yellowstone" initiative. Since that time, the Park and its partners have made remarkable advances in promoting sustainable practices and advancing sound environmental stewardship initiatives. Accomplishments include achieving a 65 percent diversion rate of solid waste, and composting more than 1,400 tons of material. There are currently 63 recycling bins at various locations within the Park, and it is estimated that between 2003 and 2005 there was a 70 percent increase in the amount of commodities collected. They also worked with concessioners to implement Environmental Management Systems. The Park replaced pressure-treated wood boardwalks with recycled plastic lumber on portions of the Park's fifteen miles of boardwalk. In 2005, more than 500 feet of boardwalk were replaced with recycled content plastic materials. The Park and its concessioners use biodiesel and other alternative fuels and vegetable-based lube and hydraulic oils in many of its vehicles. Since 1998, the Park and its partners have switched from more than 130 cleaning and janitorial products with health or environmental risks to less than 10 products that are safe for employees and the environment. A solar electric array installed at the Lamar Buffalo Ranch, located within the Park, provides more than 90 percent of the complex's energy needs annually.
Of special note, the Park and its partners incorporate sustainable building materials and techniques to maintain, remodel and rehabilitate Yellowstone buildings. In 2005, the Park, in partnership with Xanterra, completed construction of the first LEED certified residences in the State of Montana (Yellowstone NP administered land).
Also, the Park and its partners created a program for collecting and recycling camp stove propane cylinders in the greater Yellowstone area. The Propane Bottle Recycler (PBR), a mobile propane cylinder recycling unit, is now being utilized to recycle an estimated 5,000, small, one-pound propane cylinders discarded in the greater Yellowstone area each year. The recycling function of this unit is twofold--the PBR is powered by propane that is extracted from the canisters and recycled; the canisters are then flattened to be recycled into steel. This is the first unit of its kind to address the significant issue of more than sixty million propane cylinders ending up in landfills in the United States every year. In 2005, Yellowstone National Park recycled 3,678 discarded cylinders within the greater Yellowstone area.
Detailed Description
Through the creation of a unique partnership with representatives from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Wyoming and Montana Department's of Environmental Quality, NPS Region 8 and Park concessioners (Xanterra Parks & Resorts, Yellowstone Park Service Stations, and Delaware North Park Services), the Park implemented an Environmental Management System (EMS). The EMS program provides guidance to the partners on how best to manage the environmental aspects of Park activities, educate visitors, and promote the latest technologies, in a more effective and sustainable way, while also giving consideration to environmental protection, pollution prevention and socioeconomic needs. Additionally, the program was custom designed to incorporate the fostering of innovative sustainable practices within the greater Yellowstone area, including other public land agencies as well as gateway communities.
In 2005, the EMS team conducted surveys within the Park, asking a wide cross- section of employees (more than 200) what they thought were the most important environmental concerns for the Park. An overwhelming majority of employees (and concessioners) identified solid waste management. This was due to two overriding concerns; that the mis-management of solid waste would lead to grizzly bear habituation, and second, employees wanted to share in the responsibility for ensuring the success of the newly constructed compost facility. As a result, a program was developed to manage solid waste and promote point source separation of non-compostable and hazardous waste. Since its implementation, there have been a number of processes developed to reduce or divert solid waste from the landfill. Recycling combined with composting, as well as other pre-sorting processes have resulted in Yellowstone National Park achieving a 65 percent diversion rate of solid waste from going to the landfill in 2005. The goal of the EMS team is a 90 percent diversion rate by 2008. Additionally, more than 1,400 tons of compost was produced in 2005 from the Park's solid waste stream.
The Greater Yellowstone Coordinating Committee (GYCC) was formed in 1965 to foster and promote consistency in the management of all public lands within the greater Yellowstone area (more than 18 million acres). The Committee is comprised of two Park superintendents, six national forest supervisors, and the managers of two Fish and Wildlife refuges. In 2005, a sub-committee of the GYCC was formed to address sustainability and environmental stewardship. A Yellowstone National Park representative is co-chair of this group. The guiding charter, as well as a comprehensive list of sustainability projects has been developed for implementation. This sub-committee will set the course for sound environmental management within the greater Yellowstone ecosystem.
