"I had owned a number of used Mopar and Ford police vehicles, and decided to buy a new CV in 2004. The purchase price was fine, and the car broke down on me over the 8 years I owned it, but it did not hold up. 2 weeks after I bought it, the right rear shock blew out. It would later require 3 more replacements. The fuel pump went out at 15000 miles. The power steering column required constant lube near the rag joint. The interior of the car was just plain cheap. I replaced the split bench seats with fresh CVPI seats, as the springs, cushion and covers wore out around 60000. By the time I traded the car in with 104000 miles, and even with rigid maintenance, the transmission was growling and slipping, the rear axle was howling, and the fuel economy was 16 on the highway, at best. Was glad to get rid of it and into a Charger. Find it amusing Ford replaced the CVPI in 2012, with the Taurus and Exploder, neither of which handle or have any resale value."

"I love my Crown Vic Sport. The fat leather bucket seats, each with power adjustments and lumbar support, are extremely comfortable. My car also has air ride suspension in the rear. With 17" wheels and Yokohama Avid "V" rated tires, it handles incredibly well. True dual exhaust. Rated at 239 horsepower, and with a 3:73 rear axle, it is very quick. It gets around 25 MPG on open roads. The steering wheel controls for HVAC, cruise control, and radio functions are very intuitive, and are illuminated. The car is VERY quiet on the open road; very smooth, and a joy to drive. On the negative side, however, this car has been the worst car I've ever owned regarding repairs. Most repairs have been covered by an extended warranty I've purchased. The electronics have been terrible. I've replaced the HVAC module @ $500, the door control module @ $250, and the lighting control module @ $500. Very disappointing, however Ford did a reconfiguration for this year, and "bugs" were certainly going to show up. New for 2003 were a hydro-formed frame, rack & pinion steering, and some other refinements. I've also had a power window switch go bad, but it was an easy, 5 minute fix. $20. Overall, I would give a rating of 8 out of a possible 10 for the Crown Victoria Sport. They have a "following", with enthusiasts and clubs across the Nation. This is based on the "Panther" platform including the Ford Crown Victoria, the Mercury Grand Marquis and Marauder, and the Lincoln Town Car."

"I mean that in jest, of course. It is a former sheriff's department rig. It is a no-brag but utterly reliable vehicle. Parts are inexpensive, it doesn't need repairs, it is quick, agile, and handy. Family fits inside it fine, lots of steel to protect them, good safety ratings, reasonable mileage for the size and weight. Visibility outward is excellent in all directions, interior materials are cheap but durable, seats are quite comfortable with power lumbar on driver's, as well as power adjustable pedals.

"The ford crown Victoria is no longer produced so all that can be said by me has been said already by others. Ford made a hugh mistake when production stopped on that model. Ford left many buyers disappointed. I don't figure the police officers in this great country were to happy to part with there crown victoria. No other car built today can come close to it in any shape or form in my book. Sure there are faster cars but faster is not always better.I am 69 years of age and have owned ford cars from the 1953 model year and still do at this time so I know more then a little about fords."

Candidates tout priorities at public policy luncheon
Sanford City Council and mayoral candidates pleaded their respective cases for public office, telling attendees at Monday's Public Policy Luncheon — hosted by the Sanford Area Chamber of Commerce — about what their focus would be if elected.
Eight of the 10 candidates running for election were present during the monthly luncheon, held at The Flame Steakhouse.
Sanford Mayor Cornelia Olive, who is seeking her third term as mayor, said the council has worked incredibly hard to bring more money into the city during a serious economic downturn and that she wanted to continue to focus on economic development.
"What we have been able to accomplish is remarkable," she said.
Chet Mann, a fellow Democrat who is facing Olive in the Sept. 10 municipal primary, said he's interested in moving Sanford forward by also focusing on economic development, revitalizing downtown and job growth.
"I was born here, grew up here, raised a family here and ran a business here," he said. "We need to do more and raise the bar. We cannot continue to stand still."
Councilman L.I. "Poly" Cohen, who intends to keep his at-large district seat on council, said he had focused on fiscal responsibility, and his experience as a businessman has proven vital during his time on the city board.
"I want to give back now that I have the time," Cohen said. "I have been doing this for the past four years, and I want to do what is best for all of the citizens."
Norman "Chas" Post, who is campaigning against Cohen for the Democratic nomination for the at-large district seat, said his motivation to seek public office was his intention to "revitalize, renew and refresh the things that make Sanford great."
"Economic development, job creation, downtown revitalization and public safety are all priorities," Post said. "And standing up to the Tea Party majority on the Lee County Board of Commissioners."
The city of Sanford's $14.5 million bond referendums were the catalyst for Keith Clark, who is seeking the Republican nomination for the at-large district seat.
"I am not opposed to investing money in Sanford," said Clark, who has been a vocal opponent of the bonds. "I am opposed to doing it at the wrong time with the wrong people."
Councilman James "J.D." Williams, incumbent for Ward 3, said the city has a lot to offer, but there are still items he'd like to "fix" before leaving the council.
"There is still a lot of work and a lot to do to move the city forward," he said.
Councilman Samuel Gaskins, incumbent for Ward 1, said it's easy enough to campaign, but it's another thing to stick to your convictions and follow through on your commitments.
"Promises can be made," he said. "But it's how you deliver them."
Bill Oberkirsch, who will face Gaskins in the November election, said he entered the political fray because of the city's high taxes.
"These are still hard times," he said. "The high taxes are the primary reason why I am running. … We need to do more with what we have already, and we need to be more accountable."
Most of the candidates said they were in support of a joint Chamber and EDC organization, but only if the city and the Lee County Board of Commissioners continued to fully fund the organization.
Max Dolan, who is campaigning against Clark for the Republican nomination for the at-large district seat, and Ervin Fox, who is campaigning against Williams for the Ward 3 seat, were not present during the luncheon.

'cause I'm a woman, w-o-m-a-n!
If you watch American Idol, you'll know why I'm singing the song in the subject line. And if you don't watch American Idol, then please tell me, is it a nice rock you live under? I'm just asking. I like Chris, Other Chris, Beat Box Blake, Gina, Melinda, and LaKisha. I despise Sundance. And Antonella too, but mostly because she is so NOT representin' for my state!
I had a dream last night that I was on American Idol, and I was out there singing "I Feel Lucky" by Mary-Chapin Carpenter and just totally rocking the casbah. But just because I'm dreaming about Idol, doesn't mean I'm obsessed... does it?
I don't have much else to say. I am tired. Very very tired. Pneumonia tired. I think I may have come back to work too soon. There needs to be some middle ground between sitting on my ass all day watching really bad daytime TV and being way too busy back at work. Maybe I should work half days for a few days or something.
Breakfast was an Amy's organic breakfast burrito. These things, quite simply, ROCK. Perfect for munching in the car as you're driving to work. And lots of protein and fiber so you don't get hungry again too soon. I also had yogurt. Lunch was chicken noodle soup, a challah roll, and yogurt. Me like yogurt.

No. 09/418,752, filed Oct. 15, 1999, and now abandoned. Application Ser. No. 09/418,752 is a continuation-in-part of application Ser. No. 09/304,051, filed May 4, 1999, and issued as U.S. Pat. No. 6,219,876 on Apr. 24, 2001. All of the above-identified applications are incorporated herein in their entirety by reference.
The present invention relates to a floor display system, and more specifically to a modular protective structure for the floor display system.
A number of media are known for publicly conveying information, such as advertising information. Most commonly, such media utilize "vertical space." That is, the media are typically such things as billboard displays, displays mounted on walls or ceilings, and displays on electronic devices such as television screens and computer monitor screens that are substantially vertical.
However, there is a vast amount of "horizontal space" that is largely unused for publicly conveying information. This horizontal space includes floor space in areas of public traffic, such as commercial establishments or other public buildings.
U.S. Pat. No. 6,417,778, which is fully incorporated herein by reference, discloses a system for electronically conveying information via a floor display. The present disclosure relates to a modular structure for such a floor display. Among other advantages disclosed for such a structure are its effectiveness in protecting the display from damage associated with a floor environment, and its convenience in sizing the display (expanding or shrinking the area of the display). A very thin form factor may be maintained for the modular structure.
Embodiments of the present invention relate to a floor display system. The floor display system may be arranged in a public place, such as a commercial establishment or other public building, and be configured to display electronically modifiable arbitrary content, such as advertising or other informational content. Because of its environment when it is in use, the floor display system may be exposed to possible damage from the impacts of foot traffic, wheeled objects and the like. Accordingly, embodiments of the present invention relate to a modular protective structure for the display that effectively distributes forces applied to the display among a system of vertical supports, to prevent forces from being focused in one place and thus possibly damaging the display. The modular structure may further provide for a very thin form factor for the floor display system.
As noted above, U.S. Pat. No. 6,417,778 discloses a system for electronically conveying information via a floor display. More specifically, the floor display may incorporate a modifiable electronic display surface presenting for example, a liquid crystal display. The display could be connected to a computer and a computer generated image could be displayed on the display. Thus, the image displayed on the display could be modified by generating a different computer image and displaying that computer image on the display. The display could be associated with a base portion of a floor covering, such as included within a recess thereof, or could be included on a bottom surface, facing upward, of an insert portion of the floor covering. Alternatively, the display could be integrally formed with either of the base portion or the insert portion. The modifiable display could utilize a plurality of different graphics that can be displayed in any of a variety of manners on the display. For example, the graphics could be displayed in a generally fixed position on the display or could scroll across the display, with both exemplary methodologies displaying multiple graphics either individually or incombination.
Other alternatives for modifying graphics displayed on the floor covering include using light emitting polymers to create, and thus change, the graphics. The light emitting polymers can be either applied to, attached to, or woven into the floor covering. The light emitting polymers may be utilized on any portion of floor covering, for example, on either the base portion or the insert portion, or on any other portion of the different embodiments for the floor covering. Light emitting polymers are known and described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,945,502, 5,869,350, and 5,571,626, which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.
Other options for a display are to use electronic ink or electric paper. Electric paper is available from Xerox and is described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,723,204, 5,604,027, 4,126,854, and 4,143,103, which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety. Electric paper employs thousands of tiny, electrically charged beads, called Gyricon, each about the width of a human hair, to create pixels. The two-tone beads are embedded inside a liquid-filled plastic sheeting that forms the surface of the paper. Each bead, half-black, half-white, gyrates in response to an electric field. Whether the beads are black- or white-side up determines the image. Because there's no need to refresh the image, and because the screen isn't backlit, electric paper uses only a fraction of the power used by conventional electronic displays. Electromagnetic styluses and printer-like devices can be used for getting images onto the paper.
Electronic ink is available from E Ink Corp., at 45 Spinelli Pl., Cambridge, Mass. 02138. Electronic ink uses a microencapsulated micromechanical display system. Tiny microcapsules are captured between two sheets of plastic to create pixels. Alternatively, the capsules may be sprayed on a surface. The result is a flexible display material. The tiny capsules are transparent and contain a mixture of dark ink and white paint chips. An electric charge is passed through the capsules. Depending on the electrostatic charge, the paint chips float at the top or rest on the bottom of each capsule. When the paint chips float at the top, the surface appears white. When they rest at the bottom, and thus under the ink, the surface appears black. Each of the two states is stable: black or white. A transparent electromagnetic grid laid over the sheet's surface controls the shape of the image. The display may be wirelessly connected to, for example, a computer and thus, the World Wide Web by utilizing, for example, a Motorola paging system. Text on all displays, if multiple displays are used, can be changed at once by a single editor, through a Web page.
According to embodiments of the present invention, additional or alternative technologies to those described above may be used to implement a floor display system. A floor display system 100 according to embodiments of the present invention is shown in
To this end, the electronic display assembly 120 may comprise a plurality of display modules. In the embodiment shown in
More specifically, a display module may be an electronic display device incorporating any display technology, including those disclosed herein, and others not specifically disclosed. A display module may be configured to electronically display graphical images and alphanumeric data in either a static (not moving or changing) or dynamic (e.g., scrolling or otherwise moving or changing) format. More specifically, a display module may be coupled by wired or wireless means to a controller (not shown) and modifiable via the controller to display any content chosen by a user. For example, a display module may be coupled to the controller via a display driver circuit such as a video graphics adapter card. The controller may include any kind of electronic logic circuit, for example, a general microprocessor configurable with software, or an ASIC (application specific integrated circuit). A driver of a display module may be integrated with the controller or built into an ASIC. The controller may also be in the form of a single board computer with a processor and memory and with one or more display driving circuits built onto the board, as well as wireless components for communicating with the outside world or for loading data into memory. The controller may be coupled to a storage medium, which could be any form of medium suitable for storing digital data, including RAM (random access memory), ROM (read-only memory), flash or other non-volatile solid-state electronic storage, EEPROM (electronically erasable and programmable read only memory), or magnetic and/or optical disk storage. The storage medium may store, for example, control software for execution by the controller and video content of choice for display, under the control of the control software, by a display module.
According to embodiments of the present invention, display modules of an assembly 120 may be arranged within separate protective enclosures comprising a bottom member, a top member, and vertical supports or sidewalls. In embodiments, elements of the protective enclosures may be common to the display modules; for example, the protective enclosures may have a common top member, bottom member, and one or more common sidewalls. In other embodiments, each display module may have a separate protective enclosure with a distinct bottom member, top member and sidewalls.
According to alternative embodiments, separate protective enclosures with distinct top and bottom members and vertical supports could be provided for each display module. Such an embodiment is illustrated in
Advantages of the modular structures as shown in
Another advantage is that the modular structure enables the area of the display to be easily enlarged or reduced. An area of the floor covering 110 could be configured to receive a display assembly 120 within, for example, a recess or opening of some predetermined size. Display modules could removed from or added to the assembly to increase or decrease the display area within the bounds of the recess or opening. Alternatively, display modules of a given size could be replaced with a greater number of smaller modules and associated protective enclosures, to increase the number of vertical supports within the same area, as described in greater detail further on. On the other hand, display modules of a given size could be replaced with a smaller number of larger modules. Display modules removed from the assembly could be replaced with other materials of like dimensions in order to maintain an aesthetically pleasing appearance of the floor display system.
For example, the top member of the protective enclosures could be removable, to give access to the display modules, which could also be removable. To reduce the display area, selected display modules could be removed from their respective protective enclosures and replaced with, for example, "blanks" made of the same material as the floor covering and sized to fill the space within the protective enclosure, to prevent an unsightly gap. Such an arrangement would also allow for easy repair or replacement of a faulty display module without necessitating the removal of the entire assembly. In embodiments as in
According to embodiments, a display assembly 120 need not be associated with a floor covering 110. Instead, as shown in
As discussed above, by providing a distributed system of vertical supports via the protective enclosures of the display modules of the assembly 120, forces applied to the top member or members of the assembly are shared among the vertical supports, and thus the structural integrity, and corresponding resistance of the assembly to impact damage is increased. This effect may be further enhanced by increasing the number of display modules and associated protective enclosures within the same overall area. This is illustrated in
By contrast,
In still further embodiments, the display modules may have apertures formed therein configured to receive vertical supports. For example, as shown in
A protective structure utilizing features as illustrated by way of example in
Several embodiments of the present invention are specifically illustrated and/or described herein. However, it will be appreciated that modifications and variations of the present invention are covered by the above teachings and within the purview of the appended claims without departing from the spirit and intended scope of the invention.

He was asked about his health and he said, he hopes to get back a few games before the end of the season to get ready for the playoffs. Asked if was going to play next Tuesday against Sacramento it sounded like NO.
He said his back has bothered him off and on all season and it has been up and down in his recovery. He said it feeling a little better.
He didn't sound very optimistic about playing any time soon.
I had heard that he might play tomorrow but not from the way Peja sounded.

As an owner of the vehicle, you should be in touch with the professional auto mechanic shop that specializes in auto repair. People often get confused at the time of selecting the body repair shop because there are repairing shops who are focused on only one area of work whereas there are some that covers all the issues.If you are in contact with the reliable body repair shop, you can save your time and your vehicle at any time and any place.
Vehicle parts are strong, but in the absence of the regular maintenance, you will never know when your car will stop operating.If you haven't yet hired a sound technician, here's one of the best idea. You should look for the auto body repair shop with an ASE certified because the mechanics have to pass certain criteria and have to bear the qualification in order to get the certificate. From simple dent to the engine failure, a distributor cap, contact breaker and rotor button, any problem and any part can be fixed.Adjusting the valve, replacing spark plugs or simply an engine tune ups or the whole engine replacement, make sure you have the right company to handle your property. To repair the vehicles properly, things to concern about are: special welding equipment, necessary flex additives and frame equipment. The dedicated professionals would pay attention to even a tiny scratch and won't let you drive until your car is ready for the road. They perform the test-drive after service and continue repairing until the work is finished.
The foremost task is to find out the dependable auto repair shop in your place that will fix your damaged car to entirely new one. And, the most essential thing to take care is, if you feel that the auto body shop you have hired is not doing a proper job, you better move on with the next one and catch the one who not only mends your vehicle, but also provides the best customer service.

Accutane is fat soluble. I count calories, so I know exactly how many grams of fat I get. My question is how much is enough? I only eat once a day but a lot at once. Fat is usually around 60-70 grams around 85 kg bodyweight. Is that much fat too little for 40 mg of accutane to absorb?

On the 20th anniversary of the Kop's last stand, we've reproduced an interview from the archives with the last ever person to score a goal in front of the old terrace. And, contrary to popular opinion, it's not Jeremy Goss!
In 1994 the world-famous terrace was pulled down to make way for the all-seater grandstand we know today. The last match played before it was against Norwich City on April 30, 1994, and Goss can rightly claim his place in Kop legend as the scorer of the winning goal that day.
But the honour of being the last person to actually net in the Kop goalmouth before the bulldozers moved in does not belong to him.
It belongs to John Garner, a die-hard Red from Halewood.
Outside his large circle of match-going mates the name will probably mean very little to Liverpudlians but this is, in his own words, the story of the day he wrote his name indelibly into Anfield folklore...
Garner said: "It wasn't planned but I was dressed for the occasion. I went as a Spion Kop war veteran, complete with fez, big colonel moustache, khaki kecks down to my knees, working boots and a nice army shirt with the Liver Bird on it. I thought I well looked the part!
"I took a lot of stick inside the ground during the match but it seemed to go down well with everyone and the atmosphere seemed to be carrying everyone along.
"At the end of the game everyone refused to leave the ground. The players never came back out, which was a bit of a disappointment at the time, but still we refused to leave and stayed on the terraces. We wanted to spend as much time there as we could."
Sensing his moment, Garner knew from meticulous planning what he had to do.
He added: "When the players left the pitch, they'd left a ball in the Kop net. One of the stewards got the ball, threw it into the crowd and some kids caught it near where I was standing.
"Peter Hooton and Mono, two of the lads who I go the game with, sensed I was about to do something and I just went over to these kids and asked for the ball.
"They told me where to go in no uncertain manner, claiming it was theirs, but I told them I was going to get on the pitch with it so they gladly handed it over.
"What followed was a carefully planned operation. I took the ball and got right behind the goal, waited until the copper turned his back and then I was away. I headed towards the centre circle as fast as I could. I was thinking 'am I going to get rugby tackled here?' But I could hear the roar of the Kop behind me and carried on.
"I eventually turned around and realised no one had come on after me. I just thought 'this is heaven', then had a bit of a juggle with the ball. The crowd was loving it, the flags came back out and it gave everyone a lift at the time, which I was made up about it had been a bit of a flat ending to the match.
"My problem now was 'what do I next?' I looked up and saw the wide-open goal before me and my eyes lit up. I'd always wanted to hit the back of that net.
"I remember years ago there was this baldy fella who would run on the pitch at one minute to three before every match and kick an imaginary ball and fall over.
"That flashed through my mind as I weighed up my next move and I thought to myself 'I'm up there with him here!'
"So I made a charge towards the goal. The crowd were up for it. I was up for it. But just as I approached the 18-yard box two coppers and one of the stewards broke rank so I had to be careful.
"With them about to steal my moment of glory I curled the ball into the top right-hand corner. Bang. In the onion bag and I'm on cloud nine.
"My first thought then was 'right lad, get off the pitch now' but just as I was about to dive back into the Kop I'm rugby tackled by two of our finest officers, who I must say do a fine job at Anfield.
"I was then lead across the pitch and to make matters worse all the crowd are booing the coppers, and I'm thinking 'come on lads don't make this too hard for me'.
"Thankfully the coppers saw the funny side of it at the end of the day and I was just given a slap on the wrists, told not to be silly again and have a good night.
"So off I went to meet the rest of the lads in the Kop, not knowing what I had actually done but when I got there someone pointed out to me that I'd just scored the last ever goal in front of the standing Kop.
"My first reaction was 'Oh my God, yeah I have' and I must say we made the most of it that night. It was one of the best nights I'd had in a long time watching the Reds. It was overwhelming at times.
"I just wish I could go back to that day, do it all again and get it filmed. There's no official record of the actual event and it was witnessed only by the lads who had stayed behind on the Kop that day.
"Was it the best moment of my life? Well put it this way, having kids doesn't even beat hitting the back of the net at Anfield!"

Something is rotten in the state of Wisconsin and it's the Republican Party.
The state Republican Party held its annual convention last weekend and as reported by the (Milwaukee) Journal Sentinel:
They [the Wisconsin GOP] snuffed out a proposal on secession, nullification and state sovereignty. The resolution that would have permitted lawmakers to nullify Obamacare, Common Core and drone usage in Wisconsin was approved earlier by a regional caucus and a state GOP committee.
"The Republican Party does not want to chase down the rabbit hole of nullification," said state Rep. Chris Kapenga of Delafield.
Rabbit hole, eh? Seems Kapenga has been caught in the Supremacy Clause snare and needs a lesson in constitutional history and federalism to free him.
Despite what many in state legislatures claim, the Supremacy Clause does not declare that federal laws automatically trump state laws without qualification. What it says is that the Constitution "and laws of the United States made in pursuance thereof" are the supreme law of the land.
The supremacy of federal law extends to only those acts made "in pursuance" of enumerated powers. There is no such deference afforded to those acts passed in violation of the federal government's constitutional authority.
If an act of Congress is not permissible under any enumerated power given to it in the Constitution, it was not made in pursuance of the Constitution and therefore not only is not the supreme law of the land, it is not the law at all.
Constitutionally speaking, then, whenever the federal government passes any measure not provided for in the limited roster of its enumerated powers, those acts are not awarded any sort of supremacy. Instead, they are "merely acts of usurpation" and do not qualify as the supreme law of the land. In fact, acts of Congress are the supreme law of the land only if they are made in pursuance of its constitutional powers, not in defiance thereof.
As Alexander Hamilton wrote in The Federalist, No. 78, "There is no position which depends on clearer principles, than that every act of a delegated authority contrary to the tenor of the commission under which it is exercised, is void. No legislative act, therefore, contrary to the constitution, can be valid."

Lululemon and Calvin Klein Settle Yoga Pants Design Litigation
As we reported previously, Lululemon, an exercise apparel company, filed suit against Calvin Klein and its supplier G-III Apparel Group for infringement of three Lululemon design patents for yoga pants. On November 20, 2012, Lululemon filed a notice of voluntary dismissal in the Delaware proceeding based upon a settlement that would dismiss the suit with prejudice. The terms of the settlement are confidential, according to a Lululemon, which released a statement asserting that "Lululemon values its products and related IP rights and takes the necessary steps to protect its assets when we see attempts to mirror our products." The lawsuit was somewhat unique in that it involved a designer seeking to assert IP protection in articles of clothing through patent rights.

Audio Newbie Problem/Question
I am hoping someone can help me with this problem.
I have this receiver: Onkyo HT-SR800, it's a 7.1 system. I also have a new Sony Bravia 52" LCD 1080P.
From what I've been reading my receiver only works as a pass through for HDMI and what I want to know is what is the best way to connect my PS3 to it to get the best possible sound?
I ran the sound test that comes with ratatouille and it doesn't seem to be using most of the speakers, regardless of what settings I chose. When I do the test pattern from the receiver all my speakers make sound so I know they are working.
I am using HDMI for the video and the audio cables from the component to send the sound to the receiver. The picture is stunning; I just want the audio to be as well.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions...

By Antonette MaltagliatiAmerican Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, Nov. 9, 2007 When the Carolina Panthers football players enter the stadium in Charlotte, N.C., Nov. 11 night for their Veterans Day home game, they will be joined by a large cannon blast and six war heroes.
"There will be two men with the captains walking out to do the coin toss, and four veterans will lead the team as flag runners," said Peter Vacho, a spokesman and manager with the Panthers community relations office.
The veterans are part of a group of nine who visited the team Nov. 6 to spend some time with the professional football players for a stadium tour, luncheon, question-and-answer session and a surprise announcement. The surprise came during a "bin ball" game the players hosted for the veterans. The game is a locker-room pastime the players enjoy when they are not practicing or playing games, Vacho said.
"There are two bins the players take turns throwing a football into, essentially large, plastic laundry bins, 3 feet wide by 5 feet long," Vacho said. "It was awesome when Sergeant Bono threw the winning football into the bin. Everybody starting cheering, jumping up and down."
As a winner of the bin ball game, former Marine Staff Sgt. Edwin Bono learned he earned the rights to accompany the team captains for the pre-game coin toss Nov. 11. Former Petty Officer 2nd Class William Cooper will join Bono. Both men survived explosions in Fallujah, Iraq, and are recipients of the Purple Heart Medal.
Flag runners out of the tunnel that night will be former Marine Staff Sgt. Bobby Moon, former Navy Petty Officer 3rd Class Moses Gloria, former Marine 1st Lt. Edwin Salau and former Army Spc. Donald Urbany.
Moon, an explosive ordnance disposal specialist, was injured while investigating an improvised-explosive-device blast when a second IED exploded.
Gloria, who was a hospital corpsman, also served in Iraq. Salau lost his leg when he was hit by a rocket-propelled grenade Nov. 15, 2004, in Iraq, while serving with 1st Infantry Division. Urbany was injured May 10, 2005, by a roadside car bomb in Iraq.
The three other veterans will be part of opening ceremonies at the Nov. 25 home game versus the New Orleans Saints.
Former Air Force Senior Airman Michael Smyre will be a flag runner for the opening run. Smyre was wounded Nov. 9, 2004, by a rocket-propelled grenade in Fallujah, Iraq. Air Force 1st Lt. Chad Bloodworth, currently a pilot with the North Carolina National Guard, was recently in San Diego to help contain fires. He has prevailed over head injuries from the shrapnel of a surface-to-surface missile. Bill Coty, now an officer with the Coast Guard, was commander of an unmanned aerial vehicle company in Iraq.
During their Nov. 6 visit to the team's home stadium, the veterans met with Carolina Panthers players Brett Basanez, Chris Harris, Jeff King, Terrence Melton, Mike Rucker and Mike Wahle.
The team worked with the "Wounded Warrior Project," a non-profit troop-support group, to make this event happen for the veterans. They dubbed the event at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, N.C., "Operation Welcome Home." All nine veterans are residents of either North or South Carolina.
The Wounded Warrior Project is aimed at helping men and women of the U.S. armed forces who have been severely injured during the war on terrorism.

If the headline above caught you by surprise, it shouldn't: After Daniel Radcliffe's splendid display of serious rap skills, we should always expect the unexpected from the Horns star.
Malcolm McLaren was responsible for some of the notorious British music of the 20th century, most notably managing punk icons The Sex Pistols, so it's no surprise his funeral would be a less than reverent affair. The impresario's body was wheeled through central London to St. Mary Magdalene's church in a horse-drawn glass carriage, with his coffin reading "TOO FAST TO LIVE, TOO YOUNG TO DIE" (the guy made it to 64, but whatevs). The processional also included a double decker bus reading "CASH FROM CHAOS" and the destination "NOWHERE."
Among those attending the service were ex-partner Dame Vivian Westwood and pal Sir Bob Geldof (from "the Queen's fascist regime" to royal subjects in just over thirty years, folks), along with Adam Ant, whose original band was stolen by McLaren to become Bow Wow Wow in the early '80s. While none of the Pistols attended (the band sued McLaren for royalties in the '80s), guitarist Steve Jones was kind enough to send a telegram: "Dear Malcolm, did you take the money with you? Is it in the coffin? Do you mind if I come back tomorrow and dig you up?" (Jones also wrote "I owe you a lot for showing me a different side to life.") Pay your respects in the gallery below.

#19: Sid Killed Nancy. Or Did He?
Sex Pistols member Sid Vicious was only 20 when he met Nancy Spungen in 1977. British punk god and veteran American groupie bonded instantly over their mutual passion for extreme drug use. Less than two years later, both were dead.
The story goes that the couple holed up in Manhattan's Chelsea Hotel after the Pistols broke up to binge on smack while planning Sid's solo career. On October 12, 1978, Nancy was found in the couple's bathroom, dead from a knife wound in her abdomen. Ten days later Sid slit his own wrist. He survived, but only to be charged with Nancy's murder (the knife was traced back to him) before overdosing on February 2, 1979, at the home of his new girlfriend.
Speculation still swirls about both deaths. Some say that Sid's overprotective mom injected him with a lethal dose of heroin to spare him from prison. Others maintain that it was drug dealers that stabbed Nancy. In his book Vicious: Too Fast to Live, Alan Parker argues that both were murdered by Rockets Redglare, an East Village actor and alleged drug dealer. Tragic? Yes. Totally sex, drugs, and rock 'n' roll? Yeah, baby.

On Valorizing Gay Marriage: A Response to Wesley Hill
A better approach is for us to caution as brothers and sisters in the Lord: We appreciate your faithfulness to Christ in abstaining from sexual immorality and your service of the church through your writings. Yet we are concerned that elements of an un-renewed, fleshly mentality permeate some of your thinking about "gay coupling."
The Episcopal Church: Undermining the USA from Within (and Betraying Christians)
The Episcopal Church is complicit in a Government program to bring in Muslim refugees from Somalia, Iraq, Afghanistan and Syria, because the Government pays it for them—but its largesse does not extend to Christian refugees.
[Bumped] Promises, Promises: What Now for the Loyal Opposition in Mississippi?
The Episcopal Diocese of Mississippi is on an irreversible path toward full-on celebration and normalization of homosexuality and transgenderism, and any other deviant sexual cause that becomes fashionable among the theological leftists who run the diocese.
Can Rolling Stone get us past the UVA rape of faith to the historical UVA rape?
I harp on Rolling Stone's UVA rape myth because the irony of an Easter retraction is just too rich. Journalists used the Christian celebration, one they flippantly discount as myth, as cover for their own lying. But it's just one example.
The Drunken Joy Ride of Emotion
Our desires and emotions are to be treated with extreme skepticism. Do not lead with them. I am not at all saying "don't feel them" or "all emotional experience is bad." Not at all. This is not Vulcan Christianity or stoicism.
Islamic Atrocities, the "Narrative of Redemption" and Christmas
The events in Sydney over the last 24 hours have not ruined Christmas. Nothing can ruin Christmas - for the coming of Jesus into the World is greater than any other event. If anything, the deaths of 3 people in the Lindt Café only serves to demonstrate just how wonderful and necessary Christmas is.
[Bumped For Very Obvious Reasons] 8.5 Things I Rejoice In This Post-Election Day
5) This isn't the Episcopal Church. Our country is far juster, far more interested in the rule of law, far more stable, far more popular, far less vicious, and far more conservative. It is completely within our power as conservatives—with God's help—to transform this country's political landscape if we so choose. It will be very hard and very long. The next two years will be appallingly painful. Every week or month, we'll be reminded of the judgement of God—and our challenge will be not to get angry, or despairing, or inactive, but rather to humble ourselves all over again, repent, acknowledge the horrible consequences of our compromises, corruption, passivity, and loss of principle, and continue turning away from the wrong path and seeking the right one.
Restarting the Game: Archbishop Welby Attempts To Hit The Reset Button
It's not a question of "how will the Communion divide"—that division, albeit internal, has already occurred. The further question is not "how can we all live together in the midst of our profound disagreements" but is rather "what is to be done with the Provinces which have engaged in intrinsically communion-dividing actions?"
Got Ice Water?
The idea that we shouldn't be able to indulge in something silly like the ice-water challenge because millions of African children are dying of thirst, says nothing about the wastefulness of Americans, and everything about the utter inability of Africa to take care of itself.
The utilitarian unity of burning at the stake and abortion
The Church thought it was sparing heretics eternal torment by burning them at the stake. Abortionists tell us they are sparing people from miserable earthly lives. Both ways, "It's for their own good."
Truro Rebirth Credited to Relationship Between the Rev. Baucum and Bishop Johnston
After more than ten years on the front lines of the Anglican wars, I have made a major change. This past Easter vigil, my family and I were confirmed in the Roman Catholic Church.
Is the Creed "the" Sufficient Standard of Orthodoxy?
The Creeds themselves, then, require obedience to Jesus Christ as the One Lord over all things. To profess the Creed but reject the word of God as revealed in the scriptures regarding marriage and sexuality is incoherent.
Stand Firm is 10 Years Old Today
In true Tom Sawyer fence-whitewashing style, I have minions who keep the site humming, while I sit in the shade chewing a blade of grass and complimenting them on their fine efforts.
Three Excuses for Bishop Salmon's Inexcusable Invitation
Can you imagine what Paul might say to this kind of hair splitting? The Galatians respond to Paul's letter: "Dear Paul, you wrote that the Judaizers are accursed and eternally condemned and that we ought not to listen to them because they teach a gospel that damns…but how about we let them preach to our pastors in training?
60 Theses on Real Integrity in the Anglican Church
The refusal to affirm a truth (particularly when it is a truth about God) is often just another way of denying it, but without taking responsibility for your denial. This is therefore a double dishonesty which only compounds the deceit.
"How am I gonna be an optimist about this?"
A modern city provides the visual for words evoking the historic catastrophe. It can happen again, and that isn't just a function of natural cycles. There are moral and even supernatural forces in play. There's always a sense that Pompeii had it coming. It's like Sodom and Gomorrah for folks who don't want to admit to that Old Testament God stuff.

Earlier this summer I posted about a little church we went to with my grandmother when I was growing up. It was just all so simple. I love our church. But after 36 years there, we have seen lots of changes. Things ain't the way they used to be! I just long to sit there by my family and hold a hymnal and sing. I want to see one faithful man leading singing up front. I want to hear an expository sermon preached straight out of the Bible. I want to hear prayers from men who have prepared their thoughts ahead of time.
But is that really it? Does the improvement of "my" worship experience depend on hymnals and song leaders and sermons? Are those things the answer?
But (sigh) I am tired of slides. And videos. And praise teams. And loud instruments. And VERY CONTEMPORARY UPBEAT songs. And very modern saaaaaaaaaaaaaaad feeeeeeeeeeeeeeeling songs. I am tired of sitting and standing. I am tired of worship being such an "experience." I feel wrung out when I leave.
I truly want to worship. I want to let God know how wonderful He is. I want to pray. I want to sing. I want to listen to God's word spoken and read. But I've been having trouble lately.
Here was my thought. (It's just a thought) If Jesus were to visit our "worship centers" during that hour, would He clear the room like He did the temple? What things would He throw out? What would stay?
Because I really just want to worship Him.

Who Influenced My Career
All of us had help in getting our education and starting our careers. Do you recall an individual who made a difference in your life or career, or a group that inspired you and helped you broaden your horizons. Perhaps it was your parents, a teacher, a company, or an educational foundation. I would be very interested in hearing your stories, so please send any that you think are appropriate to me at firstname.lastname@example.com and I will post them below.

Contributions Received:
I would be remiss if I did not thank James E. (Jim) Hendrix for whom I worked at my first job at Milliken Research (then Deering Milliken Research Corporation) immediately following my graduation from NC State, and for many years later at Springs Industries. Jim and I started work at Milliken about the same time in the spring of 1972. He had his new PhD from Clemson University, and I had just recedived my BS from State. We researched and synthesized Milliken's Versatint fugitive tints to achieve specific colors and colorfastness properties for use in a host of applications and substrates. At the time, I learned a tremendous amount of organic syntheses from Jim and Dr. Kuhn, later (an AATCC Olney Medalist).
After leaving Milliken and working for AATCC for about five years while obtaining an MS including a research thesis related to synthesizing a new type of dye, I went back to working for Jim at Springs Industries Research and Development Center in Fort Mill, SC, and even later, developed automotive fabrics and a new business with Jim at the Clark Schwebel Dividsion of Springs Industries in Anderson, SC.
Jim encouraged me in everyway possible, resulting in several promotions, eventually becoming Director of Research and Director of Automotive Fabrics. We developed new products and obtained several patents together with our coworkers, obtained MBA's in the evening together from Winthrop University, and during the approximate 13 years of my career directly reporting to Jim, he always encouraged me to attend AATCC committee meetings, the AATCC International Conferences, AATCC local section meetings, and many other textile and related industry events. One could not ask for a better mentor and find a better textile organic chemist than Jim Hendrix, who continues on today in numerous consulting activities. Thank you Jim!

I just read this amazing book called Nurture Shock, by po Bronson, and thought I simply had to share it with all the parents I know. It basically takes up many of the tenets of modern parenting and highlights recent scientific research that shows either why certain behaviours happen or what actually needs to be done to help some of those behaviours to be modified. For instance, sibling rivalry...
Conventional wisdom has it that it stems from a dislike of having to share the parents' time and attention so parents spend a lot of time reassuring older siblings about it. But scientific research shows that it's actally a function of sharing physical things - toys, books, games etc. So no matter how much extra attention you give the elder sibling, it actually won't help. Research shows that kids treat their friends a lot more nicely and with a lot more respect than their siblings. What will help siblings to get along is trying to help them see that the sibling is a friend.
There's information about all the Just say No programs - be it against drugs, alcohol or teenage sex - and the reasons why they don't work. It turns out the Idle mind is the devil's workshop. So what is more useful than these lectures and workshops is to run longer-term programs that help teens fill up their time with something more useful and enriching than hangin' at the mall.
I found the book an absolute eye-opener and a riveting read.

I loved this book. It is a must for a modern parent. I have preached the importance of sleep habits. Ch.2 shows in detail how important sleep is to a child and the effects of what losing just an hour of sleep are.
