Obviously you must be a Constitutional Lawyer because Out of 1400+ posts you've made I'm very surprised no one has sued you yet . Obviously you must know that Law pretty well . These people that were bashing her like this do not have that right under the First amendment.
let me copy and paste a few hings about it from the ACLU and tbier take on the 1st Amendment
"Congress shall make no law . . . abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances."
-- U.S. Constitution, Amendment I
There are limitations on free speech. I cannot tell some one i am going to kill them and show that i am truly going to act on it.
The First Amendment also does not protect false personal attacks against another person that are defamatory. Defamatory speech is speech that is untrue and harms someone's reputation , and that you know, or should have known, that it was untrue when you said or wrote it.( so basically if I we to take lyleanderick comment as written And I were the Family of Sharron's I would sue everyone on here who made a defamatory comment about her.. So what you may want to do is look up" free speach". if you cant learn how to spell it, and educate yourself further before you start flapping your gums at me and drop your teeth on the floor again. Then get back to me
ok think about it. saying they used bath salts = slap on wrist go to dry out, admit Doing methamphetamine = Felony and jail time where you get to learn about mobile meth labs and how to make it ... do the math .. most drug addicts aren't that stupid on what to say when they get caught and dont let their brain sleep . Sleep deprivation is the reason these addicts are doing this .A normal human mind cannot stay awake more than 72 hours without starting to hallucinate . see one article about human sleep http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=how-long-can-humans-stay ... the issue remains is that these drugs are dangerous when not in a controlled environment . They are cheap to make. therefor the drug companies who put out drugs such as Dexedrine for sleep issues such as narcolepsy or fentermine for weight loss are not going to make money . There is no doubt it that these drugs such as bathsalts or meth need to be controlled . Think about why these people are doing these crazy things we've been hearing about . the course of action is sedation (sleep) for these addicts. I know 1 place where i've sat and watched people come in for it and been turned away and told to go to sleep . because they,ve been up for more than 5 days .
Your bill is high because the ceo makes 27 million a year. Some might make 65k a year but where do you think they send it? India Mexico.? No right here In Syracuse buying cars houses hoo.g to dinner what do you Think will happen if the jobs are gone from here... Here is another question to ponder how do you feel about someone I. Another country accessing and possibly selling your personal information address license number social security number ect... Yes it happens .. government agency calls can't go outside the usa what make it right to allow your calls bring the jobs back here where they belong
All that great fattening food we love.. glad it isn't a contest on who can make the best Tofu or who makes the best Felafels.
Cases and kegs made the best sammiches in town
To all you people on here making jokes on here about Sharron ; how dare you .None of you have the right to make comments like these. you don't know her how dare you judge her. There is a Woman Dieing in the hospital right now. This is Someones mother; friend ; girlfriend. This is someone who works hard and loves animals and life.. You people are a bunch of Incorrigible animals who act like tough guys behind your computers. You would have the guts to say something like that to someones face ..Your the type of people who probably got beat up in school all the time . Come out from behind your keyboards and say this crap to her friends and family .. You people are a joke and I can't even believe they let those comments stay.
When those 300 union workers are without a job because they moved them overseas . who is going to come in and order a big mac from you... guess who gets to pay for their unemployment and medical. Oh and by the way when the union jobs go there are dozens of non union support jobs such as supervisory jobs that go too.
It was pretty funny last month at the dome with all those big trucks spewing exhaust in the dome with all those small children there too. Then that one mother complaining to one of the ushers because the fat guy with the red plaid shirt and cowboy hat . spilling beer everywhere was smoking a cigarette.
I don't smoke so guess it wouldn't matter
lets block the sun at the beach too since it causes skin cancer.. I don't like the smoke i move where there isn't . i'm tired of this government telling people what they can and can't do.. The state should make it mandatory that anyone on a state beach should use spf 35 to prevent sunburn. I can see the signs going up on the beach now ."Do not enter beach area unless you are wearing sunblock do to increased cancer risk from sun"
Ironically since we have been in Afganistan . This country has seen a major increase in heroin usage. and when we were in central american this country had a major issue with crack cocain.
the park is there already. it isn't near the circle so there would be no traffic impact from the circle. It's actually the complete opposite side of the Carrier complex.. Carrier maintained this as a park for their employees for years. You may be getting the park confused with the old Carrier Complex area..
motel 6? really? I went the once to get a room and was told I was on the do not rent list.. Guess I don't fit the criminal profile to be allowed there.. they should close that motel and the john milton with all the drug addicts and prostitutes that are there
ct ... right on but I would have waited all day
what an ass... 40 years ago my fathers band opened for them at the war memorial and stole the show
before you call someone a moron you better do some research... the fact is Reagan administration told the states if they did not raise the age limit to 21 they would loose federal funding for highways. Most states chose to raise the age. .
Definition of CELEBRATE
: to perform (a sacrament or solemn ceremony) publicly and with appropriate rites
a : to honor (as a holiday) especially by solemn ceremonies or by refraining from ordinary business b : to mark (as an anniversary) by festivities or other deviation from routine
So yes Celebrate would have been appropriate..
Awesome Job !!!! Congrats
Hey I got the answer.... Teach your children right from wrong ..Teach them good morals...Teach them to respect themselves and their bodies.. Parents get involved in your kids life;Talk to them "BE RESPONSIBLE PARENTS". Don't throw them a cell phone and say here ya go have fun. Make them earn the responsibility.
I remember Luigi's pizza as a kid I think he' on the south side still
happens every day in Fulton

Night Under the Stars
features WXYZ reporter
by CHRIS GRAYSpending a night enjoying the five senses may very well support Romeo's next success story.
Observer Staff Writer
The Greater Romeo-Washington Chamber of Commerce and Business Women's Connection will hold its Third Annual A Night Under the Stars from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m., Friday, Aug. 8, at the Douglas House, located on N. Main Street in Romeo.
Chamber Executive Director Kelley Stephens said the night brings together businesses, artists and others for a night of art and food. Proceeds from the night support the chamber's annual scholarship fund.
Each event has hi-lighted the accomplishments of current or former Romeo residents. This year's guest speaker is Alexandra Bahou, a digital reporter and web producer for WXYZ-TV Channel 7.
"We're excited to have her come back to her hometown and talk about her journey from Romeo to WXYZ," Stephens said.
Bahou, who now resides in Royal Oak, is a 2004 Romeo High School graduate. She said she didn't realize she wanted to be a journalist until 10th grade thanks to a theater class and a trip to New York City.
"I fell in love with the idea of becoming a journalist," she said.
In high school that passion was molded into skill when she volunteered at WBRW Channel 6, where then-Director Richard Cory took her under his wing.
"I really wanted to learn how to shoot video and he taught me everything," Bahou said. "From that point on it gave me the drive to pursue my dream."
She landed an internship in 2006 with WXYZ-TV, and in 2008 her professional career began in 2008 as a digital reporter at the Detroit Free Press, where she was nominated for an Emmy and won several awards from the Society of Professional Journalists.
Bahou said her goal was to join WXYZ-TV, and in 2012 she did just that, becoming a part of the Action News team. She writes stories for the station's website, writes a tech report and prepares the reporter packages to post them online.
She said her motivation and passion for journalism comes not from rubbing elbows with celebrities or famous people, but with talking to everyday people.
"What I found is talking to people every day, everyone has an extraordinary story," she said. "To be able to tell people that or communicate about a certain person or group, I think it inspires me to do it every day."
She said in her spare time she loves hanging out with friends and family and enjoys going out to events. In particular, she is looking forward to participating in the tennis tournament held during the Peach Festival.
"I love getting out there and being around people," she said.
In that respect, she said she is honored to be speaking at Night Under the Stars, where she plans on talking about how she was able to pursue her dream thanks to the support she received from her community.
The evening promises treats for all the senses with its "Taste Fest," offering guests wine and beer tasting and foods from a variety of local restaurants and businesses. RareFORM will perform during the event.
Works from local artists will be on display, including those from Michael Daitch, Robert Fionda, James Kasperek and Chris Marshall. Debi Sisco will showcase her stained glass, and 2 Romeo Girls will feature re-purposed furniture. A caricature artist will be on site as well.
Tickets are $25 per person or $40 per couple. The Douglas House is located at 228 N. Main St. For more information, call 586-752-4436 or visit www.rwchamber.com.

An up-and-coming local musician is making a big impact on the Northland--and the best part--and he's only 14 years old.
Jake Vainio is a freshman at Duluth's Harbor City International School. He's got a real passion for music, and it's obvious why. His natural talent has lead him to explore acoustic and electric guitar, piano and the trombone.
On Thursday night, he was the featured guest on Henry Banks' People of Color radio show on KUWS. Banks spotted Vainio playing the piano during a UWS event and asked him to come on the show.
The soft-spoken student said his original inspiration into music came from a song.
"I heard the intro into 'Come Sail Away' by the Styxs on the piano and I wanted to learn how to play it and that took me into piano, and piano took me into guitar and now I'm here," Vainio said.
Vainio said music is what he loves to do, and is already working on recording an album.
"[Music] is what I do in my free time, it's what i think about. It's just usually my main focus of thought," he said.
Vainio displayed his improvisational skills on the electric guitar and a keyboard during Banks' show.

Palm Beach Atlantic University's School of Music and Fine Arts will host the fifth Annual Palm Beach Atlantic International Piano Festival February 15 - 22 featuring 15 International Certificate for Piano Artists (ICPA).
The concerts feature pianists from all over the world participating in The International Certificate for Piano Artists (ICPA), which is designed for a limited number of high-level pianists who wish to perfect their art. Participants include Antonio Galera Lopez - Spain, Gen Tomuro - Japan, Chuan-Yi Lin - Taiwan, Yujin Lee - South Korea, Pietro Milli - Italy, Myriam Barbaux - France, Yasmin Alami - Jordan, Citlalli Guevara - Mexico, Slavina Zhelezova - Bulgaria, Elena Lyalina - Russia, Teresa Lim - Canada - South Korea, Shih Wei Chen - Taiwan, Giovanni Guastini - Italy, Nicolas Horvath - France and Hye Youn Park - South Korea.
Under the guidance of famed clinicians Philippe Entremont and Nelson Delle-Vigne Fabbri, the unique program offers the opportunity for up-and-coming pianists to work closely with some of the world's top artists and teachers. The International Certificate for Piano Artists is the European equivalent to the highest preparation available for pianists seeking a solo career. The ICPA "stamp of approval" indicates to professional agents, impresarios and managers that the artist is ready to perform in professional arenas.
In addition to the concerts, the festival will feature master classes by Entremont and Delle-Vigne Fabbri, artistic director and general coordinator of ICPA. The classes will be held February 15 - 22 during the day and are free and open to the public. For information about class locations and times, call 561-803-2422. For a complete schedule of master classes and performances, visit www.pba.edu/pianofestival.
New this year is a preview concert featuring some of the international performers at 2 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 15, at the Norton Museum of Art in West Palm Beach. For information, click here.
The ICPA is organized in collaboration with the École Normale de Musique in Paris — the historical and legendary school that Alfred Cortot founded; and the Fondation Bell'Arte in Braine l'Alleud, Belgium. Participation in the International Certificate Sessions is highly competitive, as only a limited number of students from around the world are chosen for the program each year. The festival is sponsored by Palm Beach Atlantic University, Steinway Piano Gallery of Boca Raton, and the Palm Beach Symphony.

The Ellie White Foundation for Rare Genetic Disorders

featured Chefs:
James Beard Nominee (southeast) & Top Chef Contestant, Keith Rhodes (Catch Restaurant, Wilmington, NC)
Executive Chef Kyle McKnight (Highland Avenue Restaurant, Hickory, NC)
When I was approached about being a part of the first Ellie white dinner it was a no brainer. Friends help friends. After meeting Ellie and her amazing family I really knew why this dinner was so special: For anyone to be diagnosed with a terminal disease as a child, when they have their whole life ahead of them, yet to have such a profound perspective on life is truly inspirational. –Kyle McKnight

I am a big believer that any cause that affects the potential of a child should know no zip code. The community that surrounds a child should exist without boundaries or limits. My friend Billy Mellon introduced me to the work of the Ellie White Foundation, and I couldn't resist the opportunity to contribute and be a part of it. I was tremendously honored to cook a meal on behalf of the foundation that brought its supporters together to continue this incredibly important work.—Ashley Christensen

featured chef:
Top Chef Champion: Season 5, Hosea Rosenberg (Blackbelly, Boulder, CO)
I do my best to contribute to the community that has supported me as a chef and entrepreneur. I can't always say yes to every charity that reaches out – I just don't have the time or resources. But once I met young Ellie White, I knew I was in. She is so full of life and cheer, that you quickly forget that she has any struggles in the world. Working with Beth, Will, and the rest of the team was a breeze. I care for them all and hope that every year raises more awareness, money, and hope for all those affected. I'm in for life.—Hosea Rosenberg

Peter Robinson, former Reagan speechwriter and Hoover fellow, has a must-read column on the Gipper and immigration. It is a scholarly brief for the case that Reagan, while committed to law and order and defense of our borders, was unapologetically pro-immigration for both ideological and partisan reasons. As to the latter, Peter explains:
All his political life, Ronald Reagan wooed voters outside his base. Who were Reagan Democrats who gave him landslide victories in 1980 and 1984? Voters of German, Irish, Italian, Polish and other ethnic backgrounds — in a word, the children and grandchildren of immigrants who entered the country at points such as Ellis Island.
Today Reagan would have wooed not only Reagan Democrats but the children and grandchildren of immigrants who entered the country from Mexico. He would have done so as a matter of principle — as we have seen, he gloried in the country's basic openness to immigrants — but he would also have recognized that Republicans face a math problem.
Whereas the proportion of the population composed of Americans of northern European descent—the traditional Republican base—is steadily shrinking, the proportion composed of Hispanics is rapidly expanding. The GOP will capture the support of some large fraction of Hispanics or it will become as irrelevant as the Federalists and the Whigs.
There are those loud pundits — some themselves emigrants from Anglo countries — who reject all that. Our culture will be swamped! Americans will lose jobs! They will find a scrap of evidence here — ooh, look at the long line for applications at the poultry factory! — and horror stories there. And as they trumpet their opposition to immigration, they point to evidence that Hispanics remain wary of the Republican Party (well, yeah) and choose to ignore the fact that, with the exception of Jews, immigrant groups have historically become more conservative as they climbed the economic ladder.
The critics seem to want America to remain just as it is (with them safely inside the wall). But "America" is not and cannot be a static phenomenon. Quoting Reagan, Peter reminds us:
Describing America as "a shining city" in his 1989 farewell address, for example, he said, "[a]nd if there had to be city walls, the walls had doors and the doors were open to anyone with the will and the heart to get here."
None of this is to excuse the unconscionable refusal to enforce our borders or the cries of "Racism!" that greet every effort to secure those borders. But "'Senator,' the sheriff says to Sen. McCain at the end of his advertisement, 'you're one of us.' One white man to another white man — speaking the very words most likely to alienate every Hispanic voter who hears them." And when John McCain stoops to such an ad, which — wink-wink, nod-nod — takes up the nativist line, it's time to take stock of where we are heading and what message we are conveying to those who want a piece of the American dream.

2/23/2013 Will Be A Day of Resistance
"The force of public opinion cannot be resisted when permitted freely to be expressed. The agitation it produces must be submitted to." — Thomas Jefferson
Yes, Barack Obama did beat Mitt Romney in 2012. But, he was reelected as President– not king. Unfortunately, no one seems to have told the Republicans in Congress that because they're looking for any excuse they can find to roll over for him like whipped dogs. Meanwhile, many conservatives are moping around because they seem to have concluded that if Barack Obama could win in 2012, then it's all over.
But, what if it's not?
What if our problem wasn't our principles, but our candidate, our get-out-the-vote operation, our refusal to do minority outreach and the same passive, wimpy, apprehensive attitude that the Republican Party seems poised to adopt today in the face of an aggressive President who is determined to slam a liberal agenda down the throats of the American people?
Instead, what if the same grassroots conservatives who propelled the Republican Party to its best election cycle in 50 years back in 2010 are still there? In fact, what if there are more conservatives and even Democrats, who aren't willing to give up their Second Amendment Rights just because Barack Obama has decided it's fine to exploit the tragic deaths of children at Sandy Hook to further his liberal agenda?
While Barack Obama is calling for Americans to give up their freedom, their rights, and their guns, we're calling for Americans to resist. We're calling on Tea Partiers, moderate Republicans, Libertarians and even moderate Democrats to stand up one month from today, on the 23rd of February and say, "No more!" Right Wing News is joining Dustin Stockton, Western Representation PAC and The Tea Party.net in calling for rallies all across the nation next month on the 23rd. It'll be a Day of Resistance where gun owners and patriots can peacefully gather and show Barack Obama, the media, and the knockkneed Republicans in Congress that we may have lost a battle last November, but we haven't lost the war. Don't meekly give up your 2nd Amendment rights when you can stand with us and RESIST!
PS: Over the next few weeks, look for rallies to be announced, big name conservatives to help spread this idea and Tea Partiers all across the country to step up to the challenge. If you need help getting a rally set up in your local area or would like some help getting speakers, reach out to Dustin Stockton at [email protected].

Studying for the LSAT / Dec 96 LR Question« on: May 04, 2005, 04:40:36 PM »
Can anyone explain what should be the answer and why?
Raising the tax rate on essential goods - a traditional means of increasing govemment revenuesinvariably turns low and middle income taxpayers against the government. Hence government officials have proposed adding a new tax on pruchases of luxury items such as yachts, private planes, jewels, and furs. The officials claim that this tax will result in a substantial increase in government revenues while affecting only the wealthy individuals and corporations who can afford to purchase such items.
The answer to which one of the following questions would be most relevant in evaluating the accuracy of the government officials' prediction?
(A) Will luxury goods be taxed at a higher rate than that at which essential goods are currently taxed?
(B) Will be revenues generated by the proposed tax be comparable to those that are currently being generated by taxes on essential goods?
(C) Will sales of the luxury items subject to the proposed tax occur at current rates once the proposed tax on luxury items has been passed?
(D) Will the proposed tax on luxury items win support for the government in the eyes of low-and middle-income taxpayers?
(E) Will purchases of luxury items by corporations account for more of the revenue generated by the proposed tax than will purchases of luxury items by wealthy individuals?

When it comes to Rock n´ Roll, Motörhead are gods. No question about it. Don´t even try to argue with me about it.
Having worked for a lot of years in the music industry, I am lucky that I can call guitarist Phil Campbell a friend of mine. Phil joined Motörhead in 1984, which means that he has been on Lemmys side for more than 30 years…
If you ever have been backstage at a Motörhead show, there are two things that never changed in all the years: Lemmy's passion for whiskey and gambling, and Phil Campbell's everlasting love for Strongbow.
For those of you not familiar with the brand, Strongbow is a dry cider manufactured in the UK and first launched in 1962. Over the years it has become the best-selling cider in the world.
Two years ago at a Motörhead gig in Munich, I was sitting backstage after the show, sipping an ice-cold Strongbow. Then it hit me like a thunderbolt. Why not create something special for my friend Phil! Lets do something that has never been done before. Create a custom-made Phil Campbell Strongbow Guitar.
Back home after the show, I couldn't think about anything else. I wanted to do it, I had to make it happen somehow. I was on a mission. I wanted to create the ultimate surprise for Phil.
Having known luthier Dean Zelinsky and his quality builds for a lot of years, he was the first that came to my mind. Dean Zelinsky is the founder of Dean Guitars and his instruments have been played on stages around the world by the best of the best. When I gave Dean a call and explained him what I wanted to do, he said he loved the idea and would help me to make it happen. We created mock-up after mock-up until Dean and I both were satisfied.
But what is the best guitar worth without any matching pickups that deliver the sound that Motörhead is famous for? I called my friend Roger, who happens to be Phils guitar-tech. He explained to me that Phils brand of choice are Seymour Duncan pickups and that he uses the SH-1 and SH-4 combination in nearly every one of his guitars. Another problem solved. I wrote an email to Evan Skopp of Seymour Duncan explaining the situation, and within a couple of days a brand-new set of pickups was in Dean Zelinsky's hands to finish our project.
A couple of days later, having fought some wars with German customs authorities, the guitar was finally in my hands. When I first opened the case, I couldn't believe my eyes. Mission accomplished.
Another couple of days later I visited Phil and the band at a festival in Germany. Phil knew that I was coming, but he of course didn't know of the surprise. When he opened the case, I was quite sure that he felt the same way as me. That same day, without even soundchecking it, he used Dean Zelinsky's Strongbow Custom live on stage for the first time.
Until today, Phil has used this gem on every Motörhead show around the world. Knowing the history behind the guitar, I feel a little bit proud when I see him rocking out on that beauty. To quote Phil: "This in one of the best-sounding Single-Cuts I have ever played in my whole career."
Fans that are interested in recreating the Motörhead sound – and are not able to spend thousand of dollars on a custom one-off instrument – have to check out French guitar makers LAG. For more than 20 years, LAG guitars have been Phil's weapon of choice. In recent times, LAG also released an official Phil Campbell signature model called LAG S1000PC. As with every guitar in Phils live arsenal, his signature guitar comes equipped with a Seymour Duncan JB in the bridge and a '59 in the neck.
Make sure not to miss Phil Campbell and Motörhead Seymourizing a venue near you…!

We're currently managing projects in 4 countries on 3 continents. I won't go into details, the website of WillPower Group will reveal more later this spring. We've been working hard on the reporting structures the last years; not in the least the budgettary and cashflow side. What's still lacking though is an idea on the amount of manhours spend on each project. We are now thinking of implementing an efficient timetracking system.
We've tried Harvest for a while, but it is too complex because it is based on a typical agency structure where personnel has to input ours and one central person has to sign those hours off before clients are billed. In our case, the reporting facet is more important. We've tried Fourteen Dayz today and were happily surprised. Yet, the pricing structure is somewhat odd, for our needs we would have to pay 99 US$ per month.
And then we stumbled on Tick, which integrates smoothly into our Basecamp. Anybody who has second thoughts on the matter before we sign up?

Looks – Ochre Brown and Dirty Gray Brown Neutral Look
This is a look from several days ago, whereupon I was attempting to go for a sultry neutral kind of look. I think I actually found a color that I might not be so suited for (not to say it's so bad I should never be caught dead in it), but it's the first color I've found to be at odds with. I like it on its own, and I'm trying to not be so critical when it's on me, ha! I tried to use products solely from The Originals launch, as a way to show you what you can do with some of the shadows and lip products from it. But can I just say the highlight of the look is the lip combo? Has to be one of my faves I've done lately!
I used Uppity fluidline on lid as a base, Ochre Style eyeshadow all over lid, Clue eyeshadow in outer crease, Ochre Style eyeshadow above crease, Daisychain eyeshadow on brow, and Feline kohl power on lower lash line. I wore Springsheen blush on cheeks with Dancing Light beauty powder to highlight. I had Twig Twig lipstick with Full On Lust lipglass on my lips.

Wildmind Meditation News
Dec 30, 2012
Should Buddhist meditation make you happy?
Robert Wright, The Atlantic: In Early December, right before I headed off for a one-week silent meditation retreat, I encouraged readers to leave comments or questions about meditation that I could respond to upon returning.
A commenter named Jon Johanning obliged: "If you're talking about Buddhist meditation, I'm sorry to say that you're missing the whole point," he wrote. He was referring to my having noted that on a previous meditation retreat I felt lousy after the first few days but great later on. He continued, "Whether you feel 'good' or 'bad' or 'bored' or 'fuzzy' or 'ecstatic' or anything else in particular …

Chrysler is enjoying another "Imported From Detroit" moment these days with its sponsorship of Motown: The Musical on Broadway. But it may be one of the last times that Chrysler emphasizes its relationship with the Motor City as foundational to its brand.
That's because Chrysler marketers finally have been looking for ways to pivot away from limiting aspects of the "Imported From Detroit" positioning, and toward a broader definition of the brand and its products than as mainly a statement of pride in being a Detroit carmaker that began famously with the Eminem "Born of Fire" commercial during Super Bowl XLV.
The new identity is likely to cast Chrysler as an "import-fighter."
"There are three words in 'Imported From Detroit,'" Olivier Francois, Chief Marketing Officer for Chrysler Group, told me. "I've been thinking about this a lot in the last weeks. Everyone thinks of the noun, 'Detroit.' And we might have put more emphasis initially on the noun because Eminem is a great ambassador and music is all about Detroit and Chrysler 'is' Detroit. And 'Detroit' brings a certain romance to the brand.'
"But it's time to remember the verb as well: 'Imported.' Our dealers and plants and colleagues are dealing with more than one brand. If Chrysler is Chrysler and Dodge is Dodge, it's because they each have a specific mission. Dodge is primarily fighting domestic brands.
"So if Chrysler wants to make sense in the same showroom, it must bring a different flavor and style. That's why we're working on our future [Chrysler] cars to have this really specific level of [attributes such as] road manners, and then we won't just compete with Chevy and Ford. Chrysler will have all the characteristics that make it America's import-fighter.
"It's all about having the substance to take on the imports — this is what Chrysler means to me."
Francois explained that he wants to attract import owners to Chrysler vehicles by focusing on quality, technology, fuel economy and style. "This is why they would shop" a Chrysler, he said. "To define exactly the right mix" of these attributes for marketing the "new" Chrysler brand, he said — "I'll leave that to the Chrysler brand guys."
"But this will be the territory of Chrysler, and this is what might make Chrysler America's import-fighter," he stated. "Let's take back the lead in these four things, and this is what 'Imported From Detroit' means. Detroit can 'export' quality and style and 'even' fuel efficiency.
"Maybe in the mind of the import customer, America couldn't do this before. But Chrysler can do it now."
And by "fighting imports," does Francois mean Toyota — or, say, Audi? Partially in the now-long tradition of Chrysler marketers who have believed that the brand ultimately could become solidly up-scale, he doesn't appear to be backing down from putting Chrysler up even against luxury brands.
The marketing "blend might be different" for Chrysler depending on which competing brand is the target, Francois said. . "The blend might be different — a bit more about quality [versus Toyota], while [competing with] Audi is more about style and technology."
Francois said that he hinted as long as three years ago that Chrysler might eventually evolve its positioning under the "Imported From Detroit" moniker. And it appeared about a year ago that such a moment was at hand, when — within a few weeks after the gritty Clint Eastwood commercial for Chrysler during Super Bowl XLVI — Chrysler Group ran ads for each of its brands with the same kind of creative feel but without referencing Motown.

What's really holding up Jessica Alba's top? Those two little straps at the back? An entire roll of double-sided tape? Or Jess' sheer force of will? Because that square cut is not forgiving at all from the front and is a whisper away from a wardrobe malfunction. Jess completed the outfit with a black skirt that was hemmed with floral detailing. This was worn at the opening of Giorgio Armani's new hotel in Milan. And now for the really crazy part — she gave birth to daughter Haven, less than three months ago. And she fit and looked amazing … in that. Shoot us now.

Sacred Grove Academy was established by the Church of the Spiral Tree, a legally incorporated tax-exempt Ecumenical Pagan Church (Section 501(a) organization under 501(c)(3)), in order to serve Pagan families in Alabama who want to home school their children but do not wish to do so under the auspices of a Christian or secular cover school. Sacred Grove serves all of Alabama, and is based in Auburn, AL.
Sacred Grove Academy is a church school operated under legal code 16-28-1, 16-28-3, 16-28-7, and 16-46-3 (church school law) of the State of Alabama.
Important: We are NOT accredited!
Sacred Grove Academy is NOT a physical or on-line school, and we do NOT provide teachers, course work, curriculum, grades, record-keeping, an accredited program, or anything else associated with traditional schools. Please read this link so you can better understand what we are: Alabama Homeschooling.
Sacred Grove accepted its first student in September of 1999, and now has an enrollment of 115 or more students throughout Alabama! Sacred Grove is administered by the Director, Linda Kerr.
To homeschool your children in Alabama, you must either be a certified teacher, or you must enroll under under a cover school, also called a church school. There are several in Alabama (Cover Schools), but many of them are Christian in nature and requirements, and none that I found are specifically Pagan.
Sacred Grove Academy does not require a statement of faith or require families to be Pagan to enroll.

Session T2: Invited Session: PIRE in Condensed Matter
2:30 PM–5:30 PM, Wednesday, February 29, 2012
Room: 204AB
Sponsoring Unit: FIP
Chair: Joan Frye, National Science Foundation
Abstract ID: BAPS.2012.MAR.T2.2
Abstract: T2.00002 : Petascale Many Body Methods for Complex Correlated Systems
Preview Abstract MathJax On | Off Abstract
Thomas Pruschke
(Georg-August-Universit\"at G\"ottingen)
Correlated systems constitute an important class of materials in modern condensed matter physics. Correlation among electrons are at the heart of all ordering phenomena and many intriguing novel aspects, such as quantum phase transitions or topological insulators, observed in a variety of compounds. Yet, theoretically describing these phenomena is still a formidable task, even if one restricts the models used to the smallest possible set of degrees of freedom. Here, modern computer architectures play an essential role, and the joint effort to devise efficient algorithms and implement them on state-of-the art hardware has become an extremely active field in condensed-matter research. To tackle this task single-handed is quite obviously not possible. The NSF-OISE funded PIRE collaboration ``Graduate Education and Research in Petascale Many Body Methods for Complex Correlated Systems'' is a successful initiative to bring together leading experts around the world to form a virtual international organization for addressing these emerging challenges and educate the next generation of computational condensed matter physicists. The collaboration includes research groups developing novel theoretical tools to reliably and systematically study correlated solids, experts in efficient computational algorithms needed to solve the emerging equations, and those able to use modern heterogeneous computer architectures to make then working tools for the growing community.

What is in this article?:
- Book 2, Chapter 11: Flow divider circuits
- Spool-type flow divider/combiners
- Motor-type flow dividers
Spool-type flow divider/combiners
Spool-type flow dividers only allow flow in one direction. From the symbol in Figure 11-2, it is plain that reverse flow would lock up one of the cylinders. The cylinder that needs less resistance actually gets more. In a circuit where flow must go both ways, use a check valve to bypass the flow divider.
Figure 11-12 shows spool-type flow dividers in a circuit that synchronizes two cylinders. As the cylinders extend, the flow divider splits the flow and cylinder speed is nearly the same. When the cylinders retract, bypass check valves allow fluid to go around the divider. There is no synchronization from the cap-end flow divider at this time. A second flow divider with bypass check valves on the rod-end ports (as shown) is necessary for identical movement while retracting. As depicted in Figure 11-4, some flow dividers come with integral bypass check valves. Integral bypass check valves save piping time, have fewer leaks, and are more compact.
Because flow dividers are not 100% accurate, one of the cylinders may lag. Because there is internal leakage past the spool, any flow divider will let the lagging cylinder continue its travel. Because of the bypass leakage, the speed of the lagging cylinder while it is going to the end of its stroke is very slow. Integral relief valves (as shown in Figure 11-4) allow the lagging cylinder to catch up quickly. Set these relief valves between 50 and 150 psi. Once the pressure difference across the valve reaches this pressure range, fluid bypasses the restricted spool to quickly re-phase the cylinders.
In Figure 11-13, a single flow divider/combiner synchronizes cylinders in both directions of travel. Here a flow divider/combiner replaces the flow divider and check valves in Figure 11-12. Because there is no ANSI symbol for the flow divider/combiner, add bi-directional arrows to the one-way flow-divider symbol. This more-detailed symbol helps to clarify the valve's action. Bi-directional arrows show the divider/combiner function. These detailed symbols come from manufacturers' catalogs and represent their interpretation of their valve's function.
As the cylinders extend, the divider/combiner splits the flow to keep cylinder speeds nearly the same. When the cylinders retract, the divider/combiner shifts internally and equalizes return flow also.
A flow divider/combiner wastes energy the same as a standard flow divider. In essence these devices are infinitely variable pressure-compensated flow control pairs. Any flow control will cause heat because it is a restriction.
Flow dividers or flow divider/combiners are not designed to control running-away loads. For the circuits in Figures 11-12 and 11-13, a counterbalance valve in the line between the directional valve and the flow divider may be necessary if the loads can run away.
Spool-type priority flow dividers
Figure 11-14 shows a typical spool-type priority flow divider circuit. A priority flow divider maintains constant flow from the controlled flow (CF) port. Any additional flow passes out the excess flow (EF) port. The non-standard symbol in the Figure is one typically found in manufacturers' catalogs. The controlled flow may be fixed or adjustable, according to the circuit needs. The excess flow may be sent to tank or to another circuit as required. (When there is pressure at the excess flow port, make sure the valve design can handle it.)
Some priority flow dividers are more like 3-port flow controls and cannot stand backpressure at the EF port. Use these flow dividers for bleed-off flow controlling only. With a bleed-off type priority flow divider, pressure at EF port causes flow at the CF port to fluctuate.
In Figure 11-14, a fixed-orifice priority flow divider is used on a vehicle with power steering and hydraulic actuators. This is the standard circuit for a forklift truck using a fixed-volume pump. The power-steering circuit needs 7 gpm and pump flow at idle is a minimum of 10 gpm. The actuators need as much as 15 gpm for maximum speed.
When the vehicle is operating, the power steering circuit will always have at least 7 gpm. When the mast or tilt cylinders need fluid, excess pump flow operates them. Because there is little excess flow at idle, the mast and tilt cylinder's speeds are slow at this time.
The circuit in Figures 11-15 and 11-16 controls the speed of a hydraulic cylinder powered by a fixed-volume pump. The adjustable controlled-flow port of the priority flow divider connects to the cylinder valve, with the excess-flow port piped to tank. This arrangement controls cylinder speed and keeps heat build up low because the pressure in this circuit is only slightly higher than the cylinder needs.
Most priority flow dividers are pressure compensating so the priority flow remains constant even when pressure changes occur. As long as there is enough pump output, the controlled flow is constant. Excess flow changes as pump volume varies.
A priority flow divider wastes energy just like any spool-type divider. The inlet pressure to the divider is the same as the highest outlet pressure. When either outlet port is pressurized, the port with little or no pressure is wasting energy and generating heat.

Hi, I'm Dave from boyinaband.com – and welcome to the third Composition Competition, where you can win a crapload of free stuff for producing awesome music!
This composition competition is a bit different – whereas previously I've specified a genre to try producing, this time we're going to try a remix competition where you can try any genre you fancy.
The song we'll be remixing is "Nebula" by You and What Army. You may recognise the rapper's voice. So firstly, listen to the song right here or at the link below, and I'll link to the vocal stems below. If you're a Reason user, either get rewiring, or if you haven't got a DAW and are too scared to download Reaper or something, snip them up and put them in an NN-XT instance to play with them over your track.
As well as making a song, you have to make a tutorial on how you made your favourite synth in the track. It can be an awesome lead, a dirty bass, some crazy FX or a lush pad – anything you particularly like about your track.
It can be a text tutorial or a YouTube video tutorial. I recommend the free trial of camtasia if you are doing a video tutorial, or if you've already used the trial up and don't want to buy it just yet, I'll link to a bunch of other free screen capture programs below:
Once you've made your song, upload it to the boyinaband dropbox on soundcloud (link below) then post it on the boyinaband forum under the "Nebula Remix Composition Competition" section. Include the embedded song and the tutorial in the post – You can post the patch as well, but you don't have to.
It will be judged on:
1. The production quality of the song (How much it sounds like it's a pro song)
2. The clarity and conciseness of the tutorial (Explain why you do things, but don't waffle too much!)
3. The originality – (if there's anything that stands out as frickin' cool and unique, it'll be rewarded.)
If your song is good, that will help, but if you make a sweet song with the best synth sound ever, then in the tutorial you don't explain why each step of making your synth is necessary, you probably won't win.
I've been working hard to get a bigger prize haul than ever before, so check out what we've got this time:
The guys over at Primeloops.com have once again provided some fantastic prizes for the competition – The overall winner will be given 3 sample packs of their choice, with two runners up winning a sample pack of their choice each!
There's some great software from Sugar Bytes on offer – they've said the winner can have any two pieces of software from their online store. I don't know if you've heard of "Effectrix", but it's one of my favourite VSTs – amazing for glitchy sounds and turntable stops amongst other things; these guys made that.
Also we've got a Mastering Bundle from Fabfilter – three really high quality VSTs for limiting, EQing and Compression that I've taken to using – they have great real time monitoring on them as well so you can really see what they're doing to your sounds.
And that's not all! Soundcloud.com have been nice enough to offer a Soundcloud Pro Account for a year as a prize. If you haven't got a soundcloud account and you're a producer you really should get one, since it's a great community and service for sharing songs. The Pro account allows unlimited downloads, really in-depth stats and tons of other things.
Phew, what a frickin' sweet prize haul! That's a hell of a lot of- hang on, what was that imaginary voices in my head? Sounds kinda like a propeller… ah yes! Propellerhead Software has contributed a copy of the Record Reason Duo – that's both Reason 5 and Record 1.5 – as well.
Finally, The winner will also be promoted in a video on the boyinaband channel as the competition winner, with a link to their song and (if they have one) their youtube channel. Both runners up will also get mentions and links as well. Check out the last video to get an idea of what it'll look like: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JvsYQIfF7r8
