NEW YORK (AP) -- What if Michael Brown's last moments had been recorded?

 The fatal police shooting of the unarmed black 18-year-old in Ferguson, Missouri, is prompting calls for more officers to wear so-called body cameras, simple, lapel-mounted gadgets that capture video footage of law enforcement's interactions with the public. Proponents say the devices add a new level of accountability to police work.

 "This is a technology that has a very real potential to serve as a check and balance on police power," says Jay Stanley, senior policy analyst at the American Civil Liberties Union.

 The case supporters make is simple: Cops and criminal suspects alike are less likely to misbehave if they know they're being recorded. And there's some evidence supporting it. In a recent Cambridge University study, the police department in Rialto, California - a city of about 100,000- saw an 89 percent decline in the number of complaints against officers in a yearlong trial using the cameras.

 The number of times the police used force against suspects also declined. After the trial, the cameras became mandatory for the department's roughly 100 officers.

 Rialto isn't unique. Across the U.S. and in England, Australia, Brazil and elsewhere, a growing number of departments are implementing the cameras, in addition to - or instead of - the dashboard-mounted cameras that are already widely used in police cars. Some one in six U.S. police departments now use body cameras in some form, according to ACLU attorney Scott Greenwood.

 A recent petition submitted to the White House website calls on President Barack Obama to create a bill that would require all police officers at the state, county and local levels to wear cameras. The plea has more than 142,000 signatures.

 White House officials say every petition that crosses the 100,000 signature threshold is reviewed and will receive a response. The administration could use the petition to weigh in on the broader issue of police accountability and transparency.

 In the meantime, the Los Angeles Police Department is testing the cameras and the New York City Police Department said this month that the department is exploring the feasibility of using the devices. The city's public advocate, Letitia James, has called for the cameras as a check on police misconduct following the death of a black man placed in a chokehold by a white police officer last month in Staten Island.

 Cameras come with complications, however. It's unclear whether a police body camera would have altered the situation. A bystander recorded Eric Garner shouting "I can't breathe!" as police officer Daniel Pantaleo placed him in a chokehold. Garner later died. The city medical examiner ruled the death a homicide and the Staten Island District Attorney said this week that the case is going to a grand jury.

 Although body cameras provide a record that courts and police can use to reconstruct events, there's no guarantee the footage will provide easy answers. There are privacy concerns for all those being recorded, whether it's the police officers, crime suspects, victims or innocent bystanders. There are also legal and procedural questions: Who gets access to the recordings? And what happens when an officer's device mysteriously malfunctions or gets turned off at an inopportune moment?

 Experts including the ACLU's Stanley caution that with the gadgets must also come with well-thought-out policies, including guidelines that spell out how long recordings are kept and what to do in situations where footage goes missing.

 "We live in a time when most people's reaction to any problem is `clearly, if we have an app or some sort of a digital device, that will solve the problem,'" says Neil Richards, professor of law at Washington University in St. Louis.

 Richards says the notion that body cameras might solve problems of police misconduct is "naive."

 "The problem is that we can't fix deep-seated social problems with a $10 gadget or with a million-dollar tank," he says.

 The body cameras currently used in police work vary. They include devices that can be worn as glasses, including Google Glass, the company's $1,500 Internet-connected eyewear. But more common are the small, rectangular lapel cameras that attach to an officer's uniform and record audio and video with the touch of a button.

 Taser International Inc., which says it is the largest provider of body-mounted cameras to U.S. law enforcement agencies, has seen sales of its wearable cameras increase sharply in the past year. Bookings for sales of the cameras, which cost $400 to $700 each, grew from between $1 million to $2 million in early 2013 to $11.4 million in the April-June period, says Taser CEO Rick Smith. The company's stock is enjoying a run in recent days as calls for body cameras increase. Since Aug. 12, Taser's shares have jumped 33 percent to around $16 on Friday.

 Taser's cameras are constantly recording, but the footage is deleted every 30 seconds unless an officer presses record. In that case, the 30 seconds before the officer hit record are kept in addition to everything else that's subsequently captured.

 The recordings are stored on Taser's Evidence.com online service. Smith says the site is to the cameras what iTunes is to iPods.

 "It's not the hardware that's difficult, it's how you manage the data coming out of all these devices," he says.

 Brian Smith, a former police officer who is now assistant professor at the University of New Haven in Connecticut, expects that eventually every police department will use the cameras. He compares them to the now-common dashboard cameras used in police cars, which had their own supporters and skeptics when they were first introduced.

 "Officers went from being suspicious of them, worried that they would get caught doing something - not terribly wrong - but (something like talking about their bosses)," Smith says. But he says they started to come around after seeing that the recordings could help prove false claims against them wrong.

 "And also on the flip side, if we did have a few officers, bad apples, that did engage in misconduct, they were being recorded on camera," Smith says.

United States Patent 3,558,553 POLYAMIDE STABILIZATION WITH COPPER, MERCAPTOBENZOTPHAZOLE AND HALIDE COMPOUNDS Robert A. Hayes, Cuyahoga Falls, and Joseph H. Tazewell, Akron, Ohio, assignors to The Firestone Tire & Rubber Company, Akron, Ohio, a corporation of Ohio No Drawing. Filed Sept. 3, 1968, Ser. No. 757,128 Int. Cl. C08g N56 US. Cl. 260-4575 10 Claims ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE The disclosure of this application comprises a process for stabilizing polyamides, such as polycaprolactarn (nylon-6) and polyhexamethylene adipamide (nylon-66) against thermal decomposition and the thermally stabilized compositions produced thereby. This stabilization is effected by the use of a three-component system which is particularly adapted to avoid the plating of copper on other metals when the stabilized composition comes into contact with such other metals. The stabilization of this invention is effected by the combination of 10-60, preferably 25-50, parts per million of copper in the form of a soluble copper compound, and 0.05-5, preferably 0.1-2, parts per hundred of certain halide compounds, such as potassium iodide, and 005-5 parts, preferably 0.1-2 parts, per hundred of mercaptobenzothiazole (MBT). This combination has a synergistic effect in stabilizing the polyamide even though the copper compound is used in such extremely low amount.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Field of the invention The present invention relates to the stabilization of polyamides, such as nylon-6 and nylon-66, against thermal decomposition. More specifically it relates to thermal stabilization of polyamides with a three-component system including copper in such a combination that the copper is not plated onto other metals with which it comes into contact.
Description of the related prior art It is generally known that various copper compounds are effective stabilizers for the oxidative stabilization of polyamides as originally set forth in French Pat. No. 906,893. Among the materials cited in the patent as effective stabilizers are a number of complex double salts including CuCl .KCl.H O. Stamatoif US. Pat. No. 2,705,227 subsequently disclosed the use of copper compounds, alkali metal halides and organophosphites for the stabilization of polyamides.
Zapp US. Pat. No. 3,308,091 discloses that mixtures of cupric acetate, cupric chloride and Z-mercaptobenzothiazole may also be used in the stabilization of polyamides.
However, the proportions of copper shown for practical application are such that copper is plated onto metals that come in contact with the composition. Thus, in the use of polyamides such as nylon-6 and nylon-66 as tire cord, the amount of copper used in such stabilizing compositions as recommended in the above references results in the plating of copper on metals with which the compositions come into contact during processing and utilization.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In accordance with the present invention, it has been found that the thermal degradation or decomposition of polyamides, such as nylon-6 and nylon-66, can be re- 3,558,553 Patented Jan. 26, 1971 tarded or inhibited without the plating out of copper upon contact with another metal, by a three-component stabilizer composition comprising a copper compound, an alkali metal halide, such as KI, :and Z-mercaptobenzothiazole. Moreover it is found that the copper component can be used in such extremely small amounts that there is no plating out of copper when the composition comes in contact with another metal, and that even this small amount of copper has a synergistic effect in the stabilization of polyamide. For the purpose of this invention, the copper is in the proportion of 10-60, preferably 25-50, parts per million, the potassium or other alkali metal halide is present in a proportion of 005-5, preferably 0.1-2, parts per hundred, and the mercaptobenzothiazole in the proportion of 005-5 parts, preferably 0.1-2 parts, per hundred.
The stabilizer composition of this invention is particularly effective in poly-epsilon-caprolactam which is commonly referred to as nylon-6 and which has a plurality of repeating units having the formula (CH CONH-. However the stabilizer composition is also suitable for other linear polyamides made from polymerizable monoamino carboxylic acids or other amide-forming derivatives, or from suitable diamines and dicarboxylic acids or amide-forming derivatives of such compounds. In such other monomeric amines and acids it is desirable to have 3-8 carbon atoms between the amide-forming radicals. Preferred, however, are the nylon-6 described above and nylon-66. The latter is made from adipic acid and hexamethylenediamine. The nylon-66 has the repeating unit structure (CH NHOC(CH CONH.
The polyamides used in the practice of this invention advantageously have an intrinsic viscosity above 0.4 as defined in US. Pat. 2,130,948. Suitable polyamides include: polyhexamethylene adipamide, polyhexamethylene sebacamide, polymerized 6-aminocaproic acid or polyepsilon-caprolactam, polytetramethylene sebacamide, polytetramethylene adipamide and polyadipamides prepared from di(p-aminocyclohexyl)ethane or 1,6-di(paminocyclohexyDhexane as the diamine component. Mixtures of such polyamides can also he used in the practice of this invention.
The copper component can comprise cuprous and cupric salts of an organic or inorganic :acid, and also the copper compounds that are formed when metallic copper or copper oxide is added to the polyamide or to the polyamide forming reactants. In such case compounds are formed which are soluble in the polyamide. Copper salts or aliphatic acids such as acetic, butyric, lauric, palmitic and stearic acids are preferred.
The halide compounds suitable for use in the practice of this invention include the bromides, chlorides and iodides of the alkali metals, such as sodium, potassium and lithium, the alkaline earth metals, including calcium and magnisium, and ammonium bromide, chloride and iodide. Particularly preferred is potassium iodide.
The polyamides can be prepared in the presence of the stabilizer components. Therefore the reagents for preparing the polyamide as well as the components for the stabilizer composition can be intermixed in the original reaction composition. However, the stabilizer compositions of the present invention can be added to the reagents either prior to or during the condensation polymerization, or may be added subsequent to the condensation polymerization. For practical purposes, it is generally preferable to add the stabilizer components to the reagents prior to the condensation polymerization. This insures intimate mixing and avoids an extra subsequent mixing step. However, the stabilizer components may be added to the molten polymer and intimate mixture insured by homogenization, by extrusion or by blending the stabilizer with solid particles of the polyamide in the form 3 of molding powder such as in a tumbler and then extruded for intimate mixing of these solid particles.
In preparing polycaprolactam, it is generally desirable to heat the epsilon-caprolactam at a temperature in the range of 250 to 270 C. in a nitrogen or other inert atmosphere and subsequently to heat the material at a temperature of 250 to 270 C. at a reduced pressure of less than 2 mnr, preferably about 0.5 mm. Hg for a period of at least 6 hours. Polyamides from amino acids can be similarly prepared.
Polyamides such as nylon-66 derived from diamines and diacids are advantageously prepared by heating the corresponding polyamide salt at a temperature of 200- 285 C. in a pressure vessel while releasing gradually the steam generated from the condensation.
The invention is illustrated by the following examples. These examples are intended merely for purpose of illustration and are not intended in any way to limit the scope of the invention nor the manner in Which it may be practiced. Unless specifically provided otherwise, parts and percentages are given by weight.
One of the important properties with respect to polyamide tire cord is the ability to retain tenacity after the tire cord has been exposed to high temperatures for an extended period. This is more or less to determine the ability of the tire cord to retain its tenacity upon being MET KI (p.p.h.) (p.p.h.)
percent retained Cu (p.p.n1.)
tenacity From this table it is seen that the greatest improvement is obtained when both MBT and KI are used with 50 p.p.m. of copper. When these compositions are placed in contact with steel, cast iron, aluminum and other metals there is no plating of copper thereon.
Example II.The procedure of Example I is repeated eight times with the pressure polymerization being conducted for 24 hours at 260 C. under a nitrogen atmosphere, and the subsequent vacuum polymerization being conducted for six hours at 260 C. at 2 mm. Hg. The amounts of reagents and stabilizer components as well as the results are given below in Table II. Again it will be seen that the best results are obtained when the threecomponent stabilizer is used as in Runs 2, 3, 4 and 5.

exposed to high temperatures in both the molding process and in the road conditions under which the tire will be used. The following examples illustrate the effect of the stabilizer compositions on this property.
Example I. Into a beverage bottle in which the atmos- Potassium iodide (KI) 1 Amount indicated in Table I.
The bottle is sealed and shaken to mix the contents before it is placed in a circulating air oven to be heated to 260 C. for 16 hours. At the end of this period the resultant low molecular weight polymer is removed from the bottle and ground in a Wiley mill. The polymer is then remelted in a resin kettle heated by a metal bath. Water and equilibrium lactam are stripped from the molten polymer at 0.2 mm. Hg and 260 C. The resultant polymer is again ground in a Wiley mill and dried under vacuum at 1 mm. Hg overnight at 80 C. The dried polymer is then meltspun into an 18 filament yarn which is subsequently drawn 4.0/1.0 over a hot plate at 310 F. The drawn yarn is aged on a metal rack, at constant length, in a circulating oven at 177 C. for 16 hours. The tenacity after being Example III.T0 a jacketed pressure kettle there is added:
Parts Adipic acid 600 hexamethylcnediamine 600 Distilled water 540 Decolorizing carbon 10 The mixture is stirred for one-half hour and the pH adjusted to 7 by addition of adipic acid or hexamethylenediamine as appropriate. The solution is then filtered and 260 parts (containing sufficient of the salt to make parts of polymer) is concentrated by vacuum distillation. The resulting salt solution is transferred to a glass jar and the stabilizer components added as in Example I. The resulting solution is introduced into a cylindrical glass bottle adapted to fit inside an autoclave having an inside diameter slightly greater than the outside diameter of the bottle and polymerization is carried out by heating over a period of one hour with the temperature gradually increasing from 55 to 215 C. until a pressure of 250 p.s.i. is reached. Steam is gradually bled from the reactor as the temperature is maintained at 215 to 250 C. over a period of 3.75 hours. Then the pressure is gradually released over a period of one hour during which the temperature is maintained at 250-275 C. Then the heating is continued at 275 C. while nitrogen is passed through the autoclave over a period of one hour. The autoclave is then closed and the nitrogen pressure increased to 100 p.s.i. following which the autoclave is cooled and then the plug of polymer in the bottle is recovered after the bottle is broken. The polymer is thev crushed to a powder which is dried in a mechanical convection oven at 120 C. for four hours. The polymer is then melt-spun into yarn as in Example I and after similar processing and testing is found to have similar improved properties as in the yarn of Example I. The procedure is repeated a number of times with the variations in stabilizer components indicated in Table I. Each of the resultant polymers is processed and tested as in Table I with similar improvements noted when the three-component stabilizer system is used as compared to the use of only one or two of the components.
Example IV.The procedures of Examples I and III are repeated using individually in place of the copper acetate an equivalent amount respectively of cuprous chloride, cuprous butyrate, cupric bromide and cuprous laurate. Similar improvements are observed as in Examples I and III when the three-component stabilizer system is used.
Example V.The procedures of Examples I and III are repeated a number of times using individually in place of the potassium iodide an equivalent weight respectively of potassium chloride, sodium bromide, ammonium chloride, calcium chloride and magnesium chloride. Similar improvements are noted as in Examples I and III when the three-component stabilizer system is used.
The polyamides may be described as synthetic linear polycarbonamides having recurring carbonamide groups in the integral part of the main polymer chain. Preferably the carbonamide groups are separated from each other by 3-8 carbon atoms in the form of connecting methylene groups.
The polyamides may be modified by the addition of other materials such as plasticizers, resins, waxes, fillers and various pigments. The particular amide and the use to which it will be put will determine which of such modifying agents are appropriate.
The stabilized polyamides of this invention can be used in any of the forms generally used for polyamides, such as yarns, tire cord, bristles, fabric, molded articles, films and protective coatings such as on filaments, textiles, wood, rubber, leather and ceramic materials.
While certain features of this invention have been described in detail with respect to various embodiments thereof, it will, of course, be apparent that other modifications can be made within the spirit and scope of this invention and it is not intended to limit the invention to the exact details shown above except insofar as they are defined in the following claims.

GOMEZ PALACIO, Mexico (AP) — Twenty-one members of a drug gang linked to the Sinaloa cartel have been detained in connection with as many as 30 killings and the abduction of five non-editorial employees of a newspaper who were later released, Mexican authorities said Thursday.
Prosecutors in the northern state of Durango said the kidnap-killing of a local politician in February was among the gang's alleged crimes. The victim, Mario Alberto Landeros, had been planning to run for mayor of a city in the state.
A statement from the state prosecutor's office said the suspects included at least six females; all were arrested in the northern city of Gomez Palacio and surrounding areas. Police said they recovered 20 rifles and bags of drugs in making the 21 arrests.
State Attorney General Sonia de la Garza said the gang dealt drugs, but also acted as an enforcement wing for the Sinaloa cartel led by Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman.
Prosecutors' spokesman Raymundo Enriquez Partida said the suspects were being investigated in as many as 30 killings, and they were apparently responsible for arson attacks against businesses owned by the mayor of Gomez Palacio, a large city in Durango.
The newspaper employees worked at the Siglo de Torreon, a newspaper in the neighboring state of Coahuila. Abductors snatched two people who operated its online services, two employees of the advertising department and one administrative employee in February; they were released hours later.
Also in February, the Siglo de Torreon's building was the target of shooting attacks for three consecutive days.
The third attack killed a bystander and wounded two federal police officers guarding the building. The newspaper's offices have been attacked periodically by gunmen since 2009. No one had been hurt until March. The newspaper decided after the first attack in 2009 to stop all investigative journalism.

3. PERFECT beards…
You didn't see arcs this clean in any of your geometry classes.
5. 360º waves…
If you're feeling nauseous, it's because those waves got you seasick.

It's like watching a poem being written, a symphony being conducted.
10. These aren't just haircuts — they're ART.
11. This man's razor was clearly dipped in the blood of Jesus.
12. It's the only way to explain these miracles.
13. And he does brows!
14. He stays as sharp as he keeps his clients.
15. But he manages to stay humble through the success.
16. Those hands are #blessed.

tastes great!

I love this brand of coconut oil- I have replaced all butter, olive oil , ect with artisana coconut oil. I think its healthier that any other oil. I saute all meats in it, and put it on waffles instead of butter and syrup. I have lost weight using it- about four pounds. That doesn't sound like much, I know, but I am five eight and weigh one hundred twenty nine pounds, so I would not want to lose more.

Truly good quality coconut oil, very mild aroma of coconut, but strong enough if you use it for baking pancakes, then they do smell like coconut and taste very pleasant!
Very good

This is good, but it looks and tastes exactly like Nutiva at a much higher cost. I read reviews that say this is better, but no way. They are exactly the same. I'll definitely be buying the better value next time, which is Nutiva.
Very good quality.

Though the founding father of a tiny country on the tip of the Malay peninsula, Lee Kuan Yew was one of the giants of the arriving Asian century. Not only did he miraculously transform the impoverished colonial entrepôt of Singapore, rife with drugs and prostitution, into a gleaming model city-state of the 21st century; his practical vision of soft-authoritarian capitalism also became the template for Deng Xiaoping's "opening up and reform" in China, laying the basis for the rise of a prosperous East Asia.
I want to talk about L'Orangelis. A young HIV Positive woman from Puerto Rico. She tells me about her continued fight with living with HIV, the constant stigma, discrimination and the feeling of always being cast aside.
Let us make gender equality a reality by continuing to recognize and challenge conventions that seek to minimize the achievements of women. Let us rid ourselves of arbitrary yardsticks that judge women by the standards of a society content to limit women to the ideals of the past.
The collapse of oil could be seen as a unique opportunity to shift our value system to an alternative based on water, priced by its utilitarian necessities and distributed equitably. Is it possible to construct a new system on the true value of water? What decisions must be made? Do we need new technologies and more money?
In course of this Stroll Chidiogo and I discuss her story, Social Justice, The Global Shapers Community and much more. Here's my stroll with Chidiogo, I hope you enjoy it.
Let us not lose this opportunity to save lives right now and countless lives in the future, while also reducing the tremendous economic and security risk that "failed health states," and the threat of pandemic, pose to the world.
This January at the World Economic Forum in Davos, a group of New Champions* got together to brainstorm the following topic: Is it possible to immunize ourselves from identity-based, prejudicial conflict?
The World Economic Forum is meeting this month in Davos, Switzerland. In advance of the meeting, a survey was conducted among some 900 leaders in business, politics, and civic life that concluded that the most important global risk faced today is the world water crisis.
While privileged and generally very expensive schools around the globe bank on diversity through both their internationally recognized curriculums and extracurricular activities like Model United Nations, the accessibility to such resources lacks in mainstream schools in most countries.
This year, for the first time, the World Economic Forum (WEF) addressed LGBT inclusion issues on the formal agenda for Davos formal agenda for Davos. Significant private and public conversations took place, with a wide, and on-going, range of media coverage.
Flux and change will define the coming decades. We better get used to it and learn to innovate and adapt - something we expect the companies we invest in to do as well.
Digitization. This topic was top of mind for many of the 2,500 world business and government leaders at the recent World Economic Forum annual meeting...
World leaders at the Davos World Economic Forum last month identified the scarcity of water as the leading threat facing the world over the next decade. Recognizing access to water as a human right means this is no longer an issue of charity. Denying people water is also tantamount to denying them the right to life.
For many of us who attended this year's World Economic Forum, the issue of trust dominated much of the discussion. Despite the improving global economy, trust in global institutions among the world's population is at an all-time low.
The world of finance is both data-driven and unforgiving. Capital flows toward the highest rate of returns and/or the most stable rate of return. But those markets are influenced by government policy, social norms, and consumer behavior.
Women are still most definitely outsiders in places that matter, not least in finance. And we saw last fall what a Wall Street outsider can uncover, just the latest woman in finance to blow the whistle.

Good bang for your buck
Not the greatest place on the trip but continue staying here for the price. Has everything you need so no complaints here.
Great Price!
I stayed here for nostalgic reasons because this is where I stayed 25 years ago the first time I was ever in Vegas. I got one of the updated rooms and it was clean and comfortable especially for the rock bottom prices. I saw some great karaoke at
Vince Neil's bar! I think this is especially a great place if you have kids because there are a lot of games, free acrobat shows and of course The Adventuredome!
Would not recommend
Huge and off strip
This hotel is huge and they are in such a hurry to move you through check out you really don't know how to find your room. Plus, they don't tell you there are parking garages closer to your room. The pizza is really freaking good though. I would
say if you don't have kids and a lot of money, go somewhere else.
Nice break on our cross country trip
Gambling, shopping, sights, and food brought us to Vegas. The hotel was clean, neat, and comfortable. There was a lot to do there. I used the coupon book. The bus was much cheaper than the taxi.
Last minute stay
I have always loved Circus Circus. We would stay here with our parents when we would come as kids and it was always fun. This past weekend we stayed at another casino on the strip but did not find it was vibrant as Circus Curcus. When we decided
to stay another, we decided that Circus Circus would be the best place to end our Vegas vacation. We spent the whole day enjoying the food, drinks, slot machines, the Adventuredome (my favorite place), and the Midway. The staff was very friendly and welcoming and the rooms were very comfortable.
Great location for the price. Room could have been cleaner.
Great location for the price. Room could have been cleaner. Some of the drawer, cabinet handles appeared to be greasy. Carpet seemed poorly vacuumed. Over all, happy with my experience.
This is the perfect hotel for little kids and people who don't drink, but are still wanting to have fun. With that being said, if you are not either of those things, I wouldn't recommend it. We stayed in the West Towers. The fixtures were
relatively new, but the carpet, towel holder, and other little things were falling apart. But I guess that's the price you pay, or don't pay, when you're staying at a cheaper hotel!
Quick family one night stay
The hotel definitely met our expectations and more! I was very impressed with the cleanliness. I felt very comfortable in our room and it was a very decent size. My husband and I were driving through with our baby and needed a place to sleep. The
price was great and it was nice to walk around.
It was great
The stay was great, good room and the front desk was very helpful.
Much better than expected!
I was pleasantly surprised when I walked in to this hotel. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. I stayed in the West Tower and my room was clean and looked recently updated. There were lots and lots of children at this hotel but overall
it was quiet in the halls and my room considering all the activities that go on here. My only complaint is that it's pretty far from the other casinos. I had to ride the public bus to get to everything else on the strip but I'd say it was a minor inconvenience.

I've had these on my'03 CRV since I bought it new. My headlights still look like they did when it rolled off the assembly line. No yellowing or fogging up. As for rock damage, I've been through at least 4 windshields, zero new headlights. So either a rock has never hit the headlights, or these headlight protectors did the job. I'll bet on the latter. That's why I immediately ordered a set for my new 2014 CRV. Installation does require a little time and patience.

Driver side fit good, but had to bend the brackets to get the passenger side on. The fitment on passenger side is OK, but as good as driver side.

The Elizabethans
Random House, 1 sep. 2011 - 448 sidor
England under Elizabeth I.
A time of war and plague, politics and rebellion, personal heroism and religious fanaticism. When if you were born poor you stayed poor, and the thumbscrews and the rack could be the grim prelude to the executioner's block.
But it was also an age that encouraged literary genius, global exploration, and timeless beauty. When the lowly privateer Francis Drake circumnavigated the globe with no reliable navigational instruments and only a drunken, mutinous crew for company. When the Queen's favourite, the wealthy and handsome Robert Dudley, was widely suspected of having killed his wife. And when only the machinations of ruthless intriguers like William Cecil and Francis Walsingham prevented Elizabeth's kingdom from descending into anarchy and political chaos.
The Elizabethans is a panoramic, exhilarating depiction of an intensely colourful period by master-historian, A N Wilson. This is what life under Elizabeth I was really like.

Brazil's Straw Hat project helps women leave abusive situations
A look at Switzerland's entrenched gun culture
27 Aug 2011 18:57 GMT | Sport, Football, Ghana
Liverpool moved to the top of the English Premier League with a superb display over Bolton on Saturday.
The 3-1 victory took the Reds to seven points with Chelsea and Wolves, although Liverpool are ahead by one on goal difference.
Kenny Dalglish's men looked like a force to be reckoned with dominating all over the pitch.
Dalglish will be delighted at how easily his new signings Stuart Downing, Charlie Adam and Jordan Henderson have fitted into the team, with both Adam and Henderson putting themselves on the scoresheet for the first time.
Last season's signings Luis Suarez and Andy Carroll also seem to be settling in well with Suarez one of the major talents to have emerged recently in the league.
Henderson, who joined from Sunderland, struck in the 15th minute at Anfield after Jussi Jaaskelainen parried a volley from Stewart Downing.Former Blackpool midfielder Adam whipped in the corner that Martin Skrtel headed home in the 52nd.And Adam got his first goal for Liverpool a minute later when he finished off good work from Dirk Kuyt by firing low past Jaaskelainen.
Saturday August 27 Aston Villa 0-0 Wolves Wigan 2-0 QPR Blackburn 0-1 Everton Chelsea 3-1 Norwich Swansea 0-0 Sunderland Liverpool 3-1 BoltonSunday August 28 Newcastle v Fulham Tottenham v Man City West Brom v Stoke Man Utd v Arsenal
Liverpool's performance was so strong that they conceded from perhaps their only real error of the game.
The Reds took their eye off the ball just long enough to allow Bolton a consolation goal, Martin Petrov's break only half-stopped by Jamie Carraagher and Ivan Klasnic sweeping in from 12 yards.The win gave Liverpool seven points after three matches - the same tally it took seven matches to hit last season
Chelsea are tied on points with Liverpool at the top after they beat Premier League new boys Norwich 3-1 on Saturday. However, victory came at a cost as striker Didier Drogba was stretchered off with what appeared to be a serious injury.
The Ivory Coast forward fell heavily following an aerial collision with Norwich goalkeeper John Ruddy midway through the second half and needed lengthy treatment before he was taken for further examination.
A rare goal from Jose Bosingwa had given Andre Villas-Boas' side the early lead but Norwich recovered to equalise through captain Grant Holt just after the hour mark following a defensive mix-up.
Frank Lampard's penalty put Chelsea ahead once more after Ruddy had been sent off for conceding it and debutant Juan Mata scored the third in stoppage time.
Dark day for BlackburnBlackburn sank to the foot of the Premier League after going down to a late penalty in their 1-0 home defeat against Everton having earlier missed two spot-kicks of their own.
Spanish midfielder Mikel Arteta kept his cool in stoppage time to earn all three points, but his Everton team should have been dead and buried after Rovers spurned two glorious opportunities to put the game out of reach.
David Hoilett and Argentinian substitute Mauro Formica were both unsuccessful with second-half spot kicks as Everton miraculously came away with three points which move them up to 10th in the table.
It is the first time lowly Rovers have lost their first three league games of a season since 1951.
At the Liberty Stadium, Swansea were unable to put their first Premier League goal on the board after being held to a 0-0 draw by Sunderland.
Brendan Rodgers' side have now played three league games since their promotion from the Championship last season and have failed to scored against Manchester City, Wigan and now Sunderland.
Record signing Danny Graham headed their best chance wide when unmarked inside the box, while the former Watford striker forced two fine saves from Simon Mignolet and Scott Sinclair stuck the bar.
The Black Cats, also still without a league win this season, threatened through Asamoah Gyan early on but the Ghana forward fluffed their best chance when he miscontrolled a Jack Colback pass, while debutant John O'Shea hit the bar.
Argentine striker Franco Di Santo scored either side of half-time to earn Wigan a 2-0 win over promoted Queens Park Rangers and maintain his team's unbeaten record in the Premier League this season.
The former Chelsea forward drilled a finish into the top corner in the 41st minute for the opening goal and wrapped up victory with a deflected shot from just outside the penalty box in the 66th.Aston Villa and Wolves also remain unbeaten in the Premier League after the local rivals drew 0-0.
Wolves, who just avoided relegation last season, have now taken seven points from their opening three games after surviving a second-half battering by Villa.
Mick McCarthy's Wolves rarely threatened but captain Roger Johnson was solid in defence to repel the Villa danger.
"A clean sheet was big for us," Johnson said.
"I said to the boys that we would need to weather the storm and we did. We'll take seven points so far. We know we're a very good team and we'll try and finish as high as possible. We're a good side."

Pet GroomerieRead MoreWhen Tim Vogel's mobile pet-grooming business met with success, he expanded to a brick-and-mortar salon and dubbed it Pet Groomerie. Today, he has two locations and a mobile service staffed by dedicated techs that pamper dogs and cats with safe and humane services. They bathe tail-waggers in a relaxing HydroSurge bath, cleansing their nooks and crannies before smoothing out their nails with a Dremel tool.

Tim's team also travels to customers in their mobile grooming salon, which generates its own power and provides four-legged friends with one-on-one care in a stress-free environment. Between each session, techs meticulously sanitize the mobile salon to reduce health risks.
