GM, Chrysler sue Allied shippers over cars "held hostage"
Report: GM, Chrysler sue Allied shippers over cars "held hostage"
by Chris Shunk (RSS feed) on Mar 24th 2011 at 4:00PM
A situation has developed between Allied trucking and automakers General Motors and Chrysler that has deteriorated to the point of hostage-taking. The Detroit News reports that GM has filed a lawsuit against the car-hauling company that alleges it's holding 1,700 of the automaker's valuable Chevy Silverado and Camaro models that should be on their way to dealers. The vehicles in question are worth $47 million, and many of them are reportedly already bought and paid for by customers. The suit also claims that the inventory will depreciate in value if dealers don't receive the vehicles, while at the same time dissatisfying customers.
The problems between Allied, GM and Chrysler started when the car hauler asked for a 15-percent raise. Allied had previously tried to cut the pay of Teamster union members by 20 percent, but was unable to do so due to a provision in the company's labor contract. GM then severed ties with Allied on March 16.
One day after GM filed suit against Allied, Chrysler filed its own lawsuit in Ontario Superior Court. Team Pentastar claims Allied has 700 of its vehicles at Allied locations. The court has already granted Chrysler the right to recover 200 of those vehicles. Chrysler has resourced its vehicle hauling to other car hauling companies as a result of the dispute.

Wow....47 million$!
wonder how this will turn out?
maybe money back for the problem to some customers?
This is just stupid. Why would Allied think this is a good idea?
Let me see if I have this right. If I ask my employee to take a pay cut, and he says no, then I ask my customer for more money and they say no, I can steal their car? What a country!
Another great idea from their union reps.:thumbdown:
ye piss off Camaro owners, makes about as much sense as a hole in the head!
wonder how many of the camaro's belong to C5 members.now we know where your cars are.there being held hostage by a truck firm.
That's a union for you
"In before the Political ZOT"
You can't say bad things about unions here. :rules:
wow this is crazy.... and bad business for that company.....
It also has everything sitting at the plant, that was coming to the Detroit area, jammed up. I have a new 2011 that's been sitting at the plant since Friday as a result. Too bad that GM and Chrysler have to deal with this kind of behavior from a supplier. All about money. Last I checked we pay about $850 to get one of these bad-boys shipped. That seems like it should be enough.
isnt that a movie about weed? or a documentary about weed...LMFAO!
Don't blame the union.
Ridiculous. I mean, c'mon guys, you're holding cars hostage that belong to someone else! That's not a good way to make a point. It's a good way to piss people off. And it worked. Wow.
It would be nice if GM would release a public statement about this mess...
My 2SS/RS shipped a week ago, I guarantee it's being held hostage...
WTF already...this is crazy
Vehicles held hostage? What? :yikes:
...wouldn't it be hilarious if one of the Camaros transformed and just raised hell for being taken 'hostage'? :laugh:
As far i know no one pays anything till the day they take delivered , so how come [bought and paid for ] really !
It's the UNION .. . . . . . .
Update on the issue from The local paper The Detroit news.
Cars 'Held Hostage' In Legal Dispute
Delivery Company Refuses To Haul Hundreds Of GM, Chrysler Vehicles
POSTED: Thursday, March 24, 2011
UPDATED: 7:51 pm EDT March 24, 2011
DEARBORN, Mich. -- Hundreds of new General Motors and Chrysler vehicles are parked in a holding lot in Dearborn because of a dispute between the automakers and a car-hauling company.
Chrysler and GM said their vehicles, which are supposed to be delivered to local dealerships, are being "held hostage."
Watch: http://www.camaro5.com/sh/images/ibs...post/video.gifAutomaker's' Dispute With Haulig Company Leaves Cars In Lot
The dispute is over how much the car-hauling company, Allied Systems, has asked the automakers to pay.
According to a driver for Allied Systems, the dispute started when Allied cut drivers' pay by 20 percent.
The driver, who asked not to be identified, said Allied Systems backed off the pay cut after the drivers' union threatened to strike.
The driver said at that point Allied Systems tried to make up the difference by imposing a fuel surcharge on the automakers.
General Motors and Chrysler have refused to pay the surcharge and have sued Allied Systems, demanding the vehicles be delivered.
The dispute has left auto salespersons, customers and delivery drivers caught in the middle.
"I feel like I'm in limbo," said one car-hauler who asked not to be identified. "It feels like it's a waiting game and we're kind of stuck in the middle. And we're just very hopeful that this gets worked out soon."
Car-haulers said they are also concerned about what the legal dispute will do to their jobs.
"The concern for my job is there because it's a battle between two very large companies," said a driver who works for Allied Systems. "I'm just hoping they can meet in the middle because a lot of people's livelihoods are at stake here."
:paddle:Maybe some guys on the way to Camaro fest should get a party together and break those puppies out of jail!:paddle:

Agate, a semiprecious variety of quartz valued both for its beauty and for its hardness. Pieces of agate range from less than one-half inch (1.3 cm) to more than two feet (60 cm) across. Most forms of agate are banded, having numerous curved or irregular bands of varying widths and different colors. Fortification agate has angular bands that resemble the plan of a typical 18th-century fort. A variety of quartz called onyx is similar to banded agate, except that in onyx the bands are straight and parallel.
A form called moss agate contains dark, mosslike patterns on a milky or nearly transparent background. These patterns are caused by the presence of manganese oxide or other impurities. Other forms of agate have irregular patterns of colors.
All forms of agate take a high polish. Most of the agate used for ornamental purposes is artificially colored. Banded agate can be readily dyed in a variety of colors. Because the adjacent bands differ in their permeability to dye solutions, the dye penetrates unevenly, giving rise to marked differences in appearance between bands.
Because of its hardness (6.57 on the Mohs scale), agate is used for such things as instrument bearings and grinding mortars. Because of its beauty agate is used in jewelry, bookends, paperweights, and other ornaments.
A district in southern Brazil and northern Uruguay is a major source of agate; another is the area near Oldenburg in Germany. In the United States, agate is obtained from the Pacific Coast and Rocky Mountain states, and from Texas.

Sonny Cumbie
TCU vs. Texas Tech Postgame Quotes
No. 10 TCU 82, Texas Tech 27
Cumbie Joins TCU Football Staff
Former Texas Tech standout to be co-offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach

Photos from TCU Football's media day on Aug. 3, 2015

TCU vs. Iowa State 12/6/14
Sonny Cumbie joined the TCU football staff as co-offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach in December 2013.
In his first season at TCU, Cumbie helped the Horned Frogs become the nation's most improved offense in total yards (+188.2 ypg) and scoring (+21.4 ppg). TCU's 21.4 points per game improvement broke the Big 12 record of 19.1 set by Oklahoma in 1999 (35.8; 16.7, 1998) and was the largest improvement by any team since Northwestern went up 24.0 points between 1999-00.
The 2014 Horned Frogs ranked second in the nation in scoring (46.5 ppg) and tied for fifth in total offense (533.0 ypg). TCU set 26 school records for offense in winning its first Big 12 championship as well as the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl.
Under Cumbie, TCU quarterback Trevone Boykin earned Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year and All-America honors while finishing fourth in the 2014 Heisman Trophy voting.
Cumbie came to the Horned Frogs after serving four seasons as an assistant coach at Texas Tech. He was co-offensive coordinator and outside receivers coach in 2013.
Cumbie stepped into a play-calling role as interim offensive coordinator when the Red Raiders totaled 429 yards in a 34-31 win over Minnesota in the 2012 Meineke Car Care Bowl.
In 2012, Cumbie coached a pair of 1,000-yard receivers in Darrin Moore and Eric Ward. The 2011 Red Raiders featured the seventh-best passing offense in the nation with 4,145 yards. A total of 13 different receivers had 10 or more catches over the course of the campaign. In Cumbie's first season in 2010, the Red Raiders totaled 4,146 receiving yards and 39 touchdowns.
During his years as a student-athlete at Texas Tech, Cumbie worked diligently and waited patiently for his chance to serve as a starting quarterback. That opportunity came in 2004, when he led the Red Raiders to an 8-4 record. Texas Tech twice reached the 70-point mark. Cumbie capped the season by passing for 520 yards and earning Holiday Bowl Most Valuable Player honors in a 45-31 victory over No. 4 California. The 520 yards remain a Holiday Bowl record. Cumbie finished the season with 4,472 yards passing, the fifth-best total in school history and seventh best all-time in the NCAA. Cumbie received All-Big 12 honors on the field and in the classroom. He has a bachelor's degree in history.
Following graduation, Cumbie went on to play for the Los Angeles Avengers of the Arena Football League. As a rookie in 2006, he started 12 games and set a franchise record for most passes attempted without an interception (252). He was named to the AFL All-Rookie Team and was a finalist for Rookie of the Year. Upon completion of the 2006 season, Cumbie was signed by the Baltimore Ravens. Cumbie was back in the AFL in 2007, passing for 83 touchdowns in leading the Avengers to their first playoff victory in franchise history.
From 2005-09, during the AFL's off seasons, Cumbie served on the Texas Tech Sports Network as an analyst.
After the AFL ceased operations before the start of the 2009 season, Cumbie became the head coach and director of player personnel for the San Angelo Stampede of the Indoor Football League. Four games into the season, Cumbie added starting quarterback to his list of responsibilities. As he did with the Avengers, Cumbie led the Stampede to the playoffs and their first postseason win.
Cumbie and his wife, Tamra, are both natives of Snyder, Texas. They have a son, Grey.

The remaining nuns, who range in age from 58 to 91, hope to relocate or transfer vows to other Benedictine communities.
The Bradford Era ( http://bit.ly/1dvFBf1) reports the Benedictine Sisters of Elk County agreed Monday to close St. Joseph Monastery. The convent is located about 100 miles northeast of Pittsburgh, and was founded in 1852.
Retired Erie Bishop Donald Trautman says the closure was prompted by declining health and number of members, combined with facilities that no longer meet building codes.
The bishop says, "It's a sad set of circumstances" that have been developing for years.
The monastery property is owned by the St. Vincent's Arch-abbey near Latrobe, which is home to St. Vincent College.

I have baked three cakes one square which is being fed and seems to be good and two smaller round ones which are far too wet. I have re-wrapped them in fresh paper and foil as advised by a friend but when I went to feed them this week they are far too wet. Should I bin them or can they be rescued?
Posted by ShazzySharona. Answered on 27th Nov 2013 at 12.00
It is difficult to tell from the description whether the cakes are under baked or just have not absorbed alcohol from any previous "feeding". If they have not absorbed the alcohol from a previous feeding then you could leave them unwrapped for a couple of days in a cool place (cover loosely with a clean tea towel) and some of the excess alcohol should evaporate. Once they feel drier then you can re-wrap them and then maybe only feed them very sparingly.
If the cakes are under baked then this can be quite difficult to fix. The cake should be tested after the baking time with a cake tester or skewer and when inserted into the centre of the cake then it should come out clean if the cake is done. If there is any wet cake better or damp crumbs clinging to the skewer then the cake should be baked for a further 15 minutes and tested again. Unfortunalely we would not suggest re-baking an under baked cake. Turn the cake over and try cutting out a small section from the centre. You may find that the cake is damp but still edible. If you feel it is too underdone to eat then you can cut the properly cooked outside pieces off and just discard the very wet centre. You may be able to turn the outside pieces into small christmas cake "bites" or you could use the cake as an alternative to Christmas pudding in Nigella's Christmas Puddini Bonbons (from Christmas, p247).

So yeah, its been a while, huh?
College man... no, that's really no excuse, the work load was almost nothing, I expected much more and no, it has been really easy and so laid back that I'm becoming lazy. So lazy that I'm not on here much.... well, I guess the real reason is that I'm always off doing something. It might not be homework, but I have a more demanding social life than I did at home and I don't know how to juggle things well, I guess. I have had the time to draw and I am almost done with something too, but I don't like to draw at college, I don't like all the people going in and out of my room. So it might be a while before I can draw again....
But the people I met are really cool. I'm in an East Asian Living-Learning Community (LLC) thing so we are all taking classes revolving around it. Apparently the people in our LLC are closer with each other than most LLCs are, and I believe it. I like nearly everybody and we have a lot of fun together. Like screeching out the window at people.... they call me the bird
My grades came in today and I did alright for my first semester. I could have done better, but I don't have good study habits since I never had to in high school. Though, I got the higestest grades possible in Japanese and Japan; Its Culture and Heritage class
I have been playing WoW and Starbound... I fucking love Starbound but sadly I can only play it at Patrick's house because my computer sucks!
Oh, and Merry Christmas, everybody! I hope that you have a great holiday and that you stay away from the fruitcake

So I have always dreamed of having a farm table and would occasionally look online for the perfect dining table even craigslist. I also found this awesome tutorial from Ana White. But it seemed like too much work and we didn't really have that much room to build one.
So last week I looked on Craigslist and the first post that I found was a woman who was selling a farm table that she made. It was perfectly priced and just the table we wanted! She and her husband made a similar table to the one from Restoration Hardware for $2,245.
I immediately emailed her and learned that she and her husband were building tables to raise money for their adoption in Congo. I really loved the table and it was a nice touch to it knowing where our money was going towards. We made plans to pick it up with my dad's car. Really…my dad is amazing for helping us with getting the table. Thanks, dad!
We didn't waste time once we got it into the house. The table was already sanded so all we had to do was stain it. But I kind of didn't want to stain it. Tyler on the other hand wanted to. He convinced me to stain it…. more specifically the color, dark walnut.
I was nervous since I didn't want it to be too dark. You know how it is…the longer you leave the stain on without wiping it, the darker the wood will get. We decided to start staining the bottom of the table so we had some room for error. I didn't wait too long before wiping it off and it turns out it was too light and I didn't like it. So we left the stain on for about 20 minutes or so.
Don't let this picture convince you that Tyler did all of the staining. I did pretty much 85% of the work. I know his little game of being slow and watching football at the same time on TV. He knows I'm fast and focused so I ended up doing most of it.
Yikes! Look at how dark it looks with the stain on for a long time.
Wiping off the stain was Tyler's job. :) The next morning we put fast-drying polyurethane (semi gloss) on the table. We did about 3 coats and that was it!
Now look at this beauty! Notice something else too?
The new rectangle hanging capiz that I got for Christmas!
Here's what it looks like with the light off.
I just looove it! After my dad and Tyler got the pendant up, we realized that it was too high so they're going to fix it later this week and add more rods that came with the package so it'll be lower.
Seriously this is the best multi-purpose table! For eating, holding cards while playing card games, beer pong and ping pong! Want to come over now?
This is what it looked like before. That table has been moved to the formal dining room for a little hang out spot next to the foosball table.
And this is what it looks like now! The table was $265 and we only spent $35 on supplies (stain, brushes & tarp cover). Total cost of the project: $300!!

Bet Sefer Heritage School Reviews
Small classes, qualified teachers, and high standards were big selling points when it came to selecting a kindergarten and preschool for my children. Both my sons attended Bet Sefer and our experience was great. As a non-Jewish family, we were welcomed with open arms. The staff (including the Hebrew teacher) did an amazing job of teaching the Jewish faith and traditions in ways that were respectful to my children. So, in addition to getting a top notch education, it was a great cultural experience. I'm a public school teacher, I "shopped" every school in the area, and I'm confident you can't find the kind of individualized attention and "family feeling" that Bet Sefer offers any where else. My boys learned more, experienced more, and loved school more than I could have hoped for and still had time to enjoy recess on a huge playground!!! It's worth every penny and NOT expensive compared to other private schools in Ormond Beach.
This school is excellent!! My child is loved, cared, and instructed by a school that acts like a family! I feel the level of academics is superior to any other private schools I have looked into. If you are looking for a school that will help bring the best out of your child in everything he/she does...THIS SCHOOL IS FOR YOU!

Rating: 5 Cups
Fallon O'Rourke was a beauty of a girl and a hard worker. All she wanted was to make enough money to save up for her very own home. But her employers could never seem to keep their hands to themselves.
Dominic Hale Duke of Damon was a cold hearted womanizer who drank and gambled away his days. It was on one of these occasions of debauchery that he stumbled across Fallon looking like she was kneeing a man in the groin for harassing her. To his utter astonishment she had no interest in spending the evening with him either.
Fallon needed a job in the worst way so she hatched a scheme to change herself into a man so she could find work and not be harassed. To her utter shock and surprise this idea landed her in the employ of Dominic. In a cat and mouse game Fallon and Dominic discover not only that Fallon is a woman, but that there is more between them then servant and employer. Will these two be able to let their pasts go to find the things they have both been searching their entire adult lives for, or will the long ago wrongs done to them ruin everything?
Sophie Jordan has written one of the best historical romances of the year. The characters are charming and witty, with enough amusing misadventures to keep you reading until the very end. This is one book you will pick up and find yourself unable to put back down. The characters of Fallon and Dominic are perfect for each other and Sophie Jordan did an amazing job creating them. This is one story that will stay with you for years to come.

How to beat summer makeup meltdown
Summer's almost here and you know what that means: Time to toss aside the rich foundations and matte creams in favor of lighter products that allow the skin to breathe. It's also time to give the evil eye to your gorgeous coworker/friend/sister who is lucky enough to be able to go completely bare-faced when temperatures soar.
Though you should ease up on the amount of cosmetics you use in the summer, it doesn't mean you need to give it up altogether. If you can't bear the thought of going without makeup (or aren't as lucky as Miss Baby Skin), we have some tips and recommendations to keep you looking beautiful and natural.
Tinted moisturizer
During the hotter months, the last thing we want to do is pile heavy cream and powder foundations on top of our over-hated skin. If you must use a base, tinted moisturizers have come a long way in the last few years. Coverage ranges from sheer to medium, and are light enough to give you coverage while keeping you cool and refreshed. Apply with fingers for more control, or with a damp sponge for a more sheer application. Bonus: the dampened sponge feels amazing on skin, especially when the weather is muggy.
(Pictured: Benefit You Rebel Tinted Moisturizer $30, Laura Mercier Oil Free Tinted Moisturizer $42, Chantecaille Just Skin Tinted Moisturizer $62)
Touch of Bronzer
Bronzer is perfect to warm you up and add a little color to pasty winter skin. Apply where the sun would naturally hit your face – forehead, nose, cheeks and chin— with a fan-shaped brush to get a subtle, sun-kissed look.
(Pictured: Laura Mercier Golden Bronze Bronzing Powder $32, NARS Bronzing Powder $32, Guerlain Terracota Bronzing Powder $47)
Powder eyeliner
Eyeliner can very easily go from sexy to smudged in the humid weather. If you're absolutey against going out without liner, trade your gels and liquids for a powder formula applied close to the lashline with a slanted or straight edged liner brush.
(Pictured: Chanel La Ligne Professional Eyeliner Duo $45, Illamasqua Cake Eyeliner $21, Laneige Multi Shaping Eyeliner $32)
Light eye shadow
There's nothing worse than a heavy, smoky eye in the summer….except a sweaty, creased smoky eye. Instead, keep shadow light in shades that compliment your skin. Tip: Bronze and Gold hues look gorgeous with tanned skin and glossy lips.
(Pictured: NYX Eyeshadow Trio- Aloha/Mink Brown/DeepBronze $9, Bobbi Brown Pastel Eyeshadow Palette $57, Urban Decay Eyeshadow in Stardust $17)
Tinted lipbalm
Heavy lipsticks and glosses are the arch-enemy of tousled tresses in the summer wind, so skip both and opt for a tinted lip balm. These balms do double duty by moisturizing sun-chapped lips and adding the perfect sheer hint of color.
(Pictured: NARS Tinted Lip Balm in Sabrina $20, MAC Tinted Lip Conditioner $15, Dior Creme De Roses Smoothing Plumping Lip Balm $25)
Waterproof mascara
This is a no-brainer, but in case you need reminding: water/seat + regular mascara = raccoon eyes. NOT summer sexy. Most likely your favorite comes in a waterproof formula. Bonus? Waterproof mascaras tend to hold curl better. Hello gorgeous (budge-proof) lashes!
(Pictured: DiorShow Black Out Waterproof Mascara $24, Yves Saint Laurent Everlong Waterproof Lengthening Mascara $30, Maybelline Lash Stiletto Ultimate Length Waterproof Mascara $9)

Hi Guys!
Even if both doors are shut and boot are shut, the interior light will go off but a little yellow light stays on the dash saying a door is open?
Also, my wipers only work on the fastest setting or if im lucky and pull it down a notch in time it will slowly work on the slow contact setting and only if im REALLY lucky and pull it all the way down will the intermittent wipe work.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance,

I'd get the boot lock switch checked, and concerning the wiper settings i'd say that the micro switches in the stalk module is on it's way out.

JOHN BRISTOW | Five roles that impact homeless
It was cold, this Longest Night event sponsored by Kitsap Interfaith Network. Worshippers — both Christians and Jews — gathered in the courtyard garden of Bremerton First Christian Church. They prayed, sang, and donated blankets and other essentials to Bremerton homeless. Rabbi Sarah Newmark conducted an end-of-Sabbath Havdallah ceremony and Rev. Debbie Little asked us to share stories about being homeless.

mindblowing timescratches! love it!
Ye, I used dubstep in my latest aswell, I tried to not overedit it, sometimes it felt a bit flat. Seems hard to find the balance! *downloading*
*damn tmtube conversion ^^
yeah i searched for an easy way to sync to drumstep / dubstep. also i had to choose a dubstep/drumstep song, as predator told me.
anyway, you can download the video with a perfect sync from the link if you want (only 40mb), so quite cool. thanks (;
really cool trailer, but with all these "hacks" or what to call it, it was a bit of a struggle to watch. Hope u understand what I mean. But as I said, really good!

text: Alfonso Soriano has officially returned to the franchise with which he began his major league career. The New York Yankees acquired the 37-year-old outfielder from the Chicago Cubs on Friday in exchange for Corey Black, a minor league pitcher. Years removed from his prime, Soriano has proven he can still hit the long ball. He clubbed 17 homers and drove in 51 runs while batting .254 over 93 games with the Cubs this season. The seven-time All-Star reached the majors in 1999 and spent the first five years of his career with the Yankees before being dealt to the Texas Rangers for Alex Rodriguez. Soriano started in left field and went 0-for-5 with an RBI in Friday's 10-6 loss to the Tampa Bay Rays.

Reclaimed Home was born somewhere back in 2007. DIY Diva and fourth generation Brooklynite Phyllis Bobb started the blog and online salvage/upcycled crafts shop because she couldn't afford to purchase another house to fix up for herself.
By 2012, Reclaimed Home finally evolved into what it was meant to be! The first investment flip property was purchased after four near-gut personal restorations. The fifth house is located in an up and coming (hipsterfication) part of Rockaway Beach. Oops. It was all going so well until Superstorm Sandy hit. Luckily, it was just basement damage and only cost some time and money. The two family home is now rented out until the market bounces back.
So, it's back to the salvage life! A storefront seems like a good idea for 2014. Why not? We are currently renovating a space in Crown Heights on Carroll Street near the untrendy part of Franklin.
Phyllis' first "day job" was professional photography. Portraits the specialty. She also holds a New York State real estate license because one can never have too many careers.
Emilia DeVitis arrived in NYC in 1968 with her family from Abruzzo, Italy and grew up in Astoria, Queens. She received her BFA from The School of Visual Arts and has been active in the arts field for over 25 years.
Over the course of these years, Emilia has taught painting, both privately and at after school programs, sold work at galleries, art fairs, retail shops and in front of The Metropolitan Museum of Art where she and Phyllis met as employees some 28 years ago. She has been commissioned for murals, faux and decorative techniques and original paintings for various restaurants, bars and private clientele.
Emilia has worked for the past 10 years as an Art Director/Studio Manager for an art production studio in NYC where she managed the staff and the production of paintings, sculptures, murals and installations for hotels and corporate environments nationwide. This position has expanded her knowledge of art techniques and the use of many different mediums.
Now she is joining forces with her longtime friend Phyllis at the new Reclaimed Home shop in Brooklyn.

Satay Sarinah Restaurant Review: After its move from Georgetown several years ago, the restaurant and its staff continues to serve authentic Indonesian food, and is one of the few such restaurants in the metro area. Originally opened in 1985, todays restaurant is much smaller and less formal, and with a slightly diminished menu that still takes on some of the staples of the Indonesian table, such as gado-gado, beef rendang, and, of course, the ever-popular satay (in Indonesia, spelled saté), or skewered meat. Even the rijsttafel meal, a several-course feast with elements of favorite dishes, is available, and may be a good way for newcomers to this Asian cuisine to get a feel for what is typical. Otherwise, you cant go wrong with several skewers of saté, the flavorful gado-gado salad, and the hearty rendang. Desserts are skimpy, and not worth the bother, unless you crave a dish of ice cream with fried battered bananas.

Coundon, Coventry, West Midlands, England
People whispered the unappreciated
Never realising who would hear it,
Not understanding that this was not a game,
Autumn lived and breathed among them all...
So happy that they were once again able to see their friends,
Picking and delighting at the new conkers,
Autumn watched and smiled at them all...
Her orange hair flew and danced with the wild wind,
While her pale skin was only occasionally seen,
But she was always there, the scenes keeping her pinned,
When Halloween came, she danced with the mystery,
Laying traps was her own Halloween fun,
Cackling mischievously at the delinquents approaching the haunted abbey,
The fright that awaited them would scar them for life...
The ghost of the abbey turned the face them,
Shackled and chained to the dining table,
The image before them was impossible, the work of a poem,
Spring pranced toward them, her ghostly veil flying behind her,
Summer's hair bore flowers galore, and her step was infused with elegance,
While winter, wrapped up warm, walked slowly and fiddled with her hair and anger.
Autumn was different.
She was patient, and waited for the boys to approach her,
To realise how her death had come to be,
How her family was murdered mercilessly in the dead of night,
And how they now took out their rage on the rest of the world.
Forever the world's seasons would last.
Forever its inhabitants would moan.
Forever the weather would be a torment delivered by an infuriated family...

Lava Tubes at Shallow Depth
M. Di Bari, and G. Zito
University of Bari, Italy
Many theoretical studies concerning lava tubes focus on the thermal disturbances generated on the earth surface. Recently a solution was suggested, where a lava tube located at a great depth h in the soil, where the ratio between h to the major axis of the ellipse a is higher than 10. However, lava tubes more frequently are located at shallower depths. In this work we ...

Progress in coating technology has allowed for the development of free-chromate corrosion inhibitors, which are able to smartly migrate when required. In order to support the coating design, we propose a hybrid mathematical model to study the inhibitor's release by taking into account the thermodynamics and kinetics involved in the corrosion process.

Restoration of archaeological materials from oceans is a major activity of Arc' Antique. Organic materials such as wood, tissues, leathers, papers and ceramics found in sea water are always impregnated with salts. Rinsing such archaeological objects with pure water to extract the salts takes too long, so electrophoresis was used to improve the salt extraction. The objective of this ...

Payday lenders began to support presidential hopeful Mitt Romney after he criticized the new Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, which now oversees the payday loan industry, as "perhaps the most powerful and unaccountable bureaucracy in the history of our nation." The backing began with payday and car title lenders contributing $427,500 to Restore Our Future, the super PAC supporting Romney's presidential campaign, between Jan. 13 and Feb. 29. At least half of the funds were funneled through limited-liability companies (LLCs) and other corporate entities, which hide the donations' original source. These actions are legal, as the Supreme Court in 2010 sanctioned unlimited contributions by businesses to super PACs. Donating through an LLC can be helpful for companies like payday lenders, which are controversial due to their offering of short-term loans with double- and triple-digit interest rates. On March 21, Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.) proposed a bill to force super PACs to report donations of more than $10,000 within 24 hours of receiving them and to name the donor. The legislation would crack down on the use of LLCs to disguise donors' identity.

What's your favorite swatching service? I'm new to buying fabric online and the fact that I don't know the names of fabrics is really frustrating. I figure I could learn from the feel of fabric swatches (also, I just want to receive fabric swatches in the mail!)
I'm thinking this would also make a good Christmas present to put on my list for those people who erroneously insist that I'm hard to shop for.
Clicking through the 28 page thread on fabric stores I saw it noted that FabricMart.com and VogueFabrics.com have swatch services. Any experiences, recommendations?
I really like getting swatches from NY Fashion Center Fabrics. They give you a good size square and each one is clearly labeled.
------Stash: 196 yds. @ 10.18.15
Sawyer Brook and Michaels (free for customers or by request).
Vogue Fabrics swatch catalog is my favorite. It comes quarterly, and usually contains 6-8 coordinated swatch groupings (9 swatches each), with pattern suggestions. I think it's $35/year, but worth it in my opinion.
I love Sawyer Brook. Swatches come every 6 wks or so. Quality fabrics at a fair price. Great service - they respond to emails quickly. If you are looking for inexpensive lower quality, this is not the place. But you will learn a lot about the fabrics, and collections are color-coordinated. If you order a certain amount, the membership is free.
I have just begun subscribing to the Vogue Fabrics swatch service with a friend. I like it very much so far and especially like that many of the fabrics are in stock for a long time. I love FabricMart but hate have to hurry and decide before things sell out.

Just got mine done ( middle photo ), about 15 square feet of working space in the storage closet of our 820 square foot 2-bedroom apartment, vertically stacked trays, over 2,000 rolls of film in the fridge / freezer combo to the right. The 16x20 Eco-Wash connects to a diverter valve in our shower. Have been printing for two days and already sold three prints, 10 x 10's from Hassy.
My other darkroom goes over 100 MPH, gets close to 20MPG when not doing those speeds, has 235 watts of solar, a freezer, fridge and lets us stay out in the field for not days but weeks in the same location. I don't print in it yet but do soup film.

2013-2014 NFLDC Pick the Winners: Week 5 - Version 2.0
Alright guys I was trying to find a way to make this easier on all of us and look what I found! This will allow us to better tally wins and losses and should make it 10x quicker for you guys.
I understand we already have one of these threads and I am hoping those who have done it in the other thread take the time to complete this one as well. Please post in the thread letting me know you have completed it.
If you wish to edit just submit another ballot. Note that the last one you submit will be the one counted.
ummmm...I guess I'll do both...
It's cool how it says the number of votes for each team.
Done. (10) .
Why did it take so long to come up with this?
I don't think it did. I just think I am the first one to stumble upon it.
It exports it to a really nice format in an excel file so tracking everything is 100x easier than the old format. I am also able to shut off the poll which is nice as it would allow us to limit submissions to before the first game on Sunday or something.
Makes it easier on JR as well.
Did it in both.
Done. Hopefully this can merge this with Shylo's Pick'em thread going forward so we don't have to do it twice.
Done them both.
I will PM Shylo today but I was thinking next week Ill create two. One for the Thursday night game and one for the remainder.
I am going to stop this now. For those who have taken the time to do it I will post your selections shortly.

To be eligible, a student must:
Most forms of financial aid are awarded on the basis of financial need. The information provided on your Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) determines your Expected Family Contribution (EFC). Your EFC is an amount determined by the U.S. Congress as available to meet your cost of attendance. If you are an undergraduate student, information on the College Board's CSS/PROFILE application will also be used to determine eligibility for aid from University sources.
Cost of Attendance includes tuition, fees, books, supplies, housing, meals, transportation, and miscellaneous expenses.
Expected Family Contribution considers income and assets, employment costs, allowances for living expenses, taxes, family size, and the number of college students.
Financial Need is simply the Cost of Attendance minus the Expected Family Contribution.

Hezbollah's Prisoner of Conscience
As the trial of Sheikh Hassan Mchaymech continues, his support grows.
12:14 PM, May 18, 2012 • By LEE SMITH
Last Friday, a Lebanese military tribunal met for the fifth time in the trial of Sheikh Hassan Mchaymech, the Hezbollah dissident. The Shia cleric Mchaymech was first kidnapped in the summer of 2010 by Syrian security forces as he tried to cross the Lebanon-Syria border on his way to make a pilgrimage to Mecca. He was charged with collaborating with Israel, but a little more than a year after he was first detained, during which time he appears to have been tortured, the Syrian judicial system ordered his release.
Mchaymech was then moved to Lebanon in the custody of the Internal Security Forces, but it is Hezbollah, say his family, friends, and supporters, that is responsible for his arrest and trumped-up charges.
In the early 90s, Mchaymech was part of the Hezbollah leadership, serving as first assistant to the party of God's original secretary general, Sobhi Tufayli. Within a few years, Mchaymech had become one of Hezbollah's most vocal critics, turning against the notion of guardianship of the jurist (wilayet al-faqih) that gives supreme political power to the supreme religious authority.
At the trial last week, according to Lokman Slim, Mchaymech "did a masterly job of recounting his 'divorce' from Hezbollah and requested that several senior Hezbollah members be summoned by the court as witnesses."
For the first time, members of the military tribunal asked Mchaymech to describe his version of the events that led up to his incarceration. Nonetheless, the next session was postponed until October 5. "The absurdly long interval between sessions," says Slim, "is simply a means to keep the sheikh out of public circulation."
It is not difficult to see why Hezbollah wants to keep Mchaymech quiet. Says Slim: "It was at first difficult to rally support among the Shia community, considering the taboo nature of the case. But it eventually became a moral obligation for all those fed up with Hezbollah's political blackmail. Rejecting the abuse of Sheikh Hassan Mchaymech became a pretext for open protest."
On the eve of the trial last week, the Committee of the Friends of Sheikh Hassan Mchaymech held a panel discussion that focused on the publication of a compilation of his more controversial writings, excerpts of which have been translated into English. The passages below, which attempt to bridge Muslim jurisprudence with modern Western political theory, are all explicit attacks on Hezbollah— its tyranny in not permitting criticism and jailing dissidents, its use of wilayet al-faqih to exert total control of the Shia community, and its monopolization of the Lebanese state.
If a person who is not a Prophet or an Imam wants to serve the people, manage their political affairs and make decisions regarding their fate, but ignores the principles of accountability and diversity of opinion, that person is a tyrant. This is true even if they wear the dress of holiness…Through denial of these principles, this person places himself above the people, demonstrating selfishness, arrogance and tyranny on the one hand, and seizure of the people's sacred rights on the other. This is why we believe that a State that does not grant freedom to the political and intellectual press and that operates outside its purview is a State devoid of any religious or humane legitimacy. A State that imprisons intellectuals and political dissidents is a State devoid of any religious or humane legitimacy.

Orie, Brewster cruise in state Senate races
Republican Jane Orie of McCandless will return to the state Senate for another term, and Democrat James Brewster, the mayor of McKeesport, will join her to fill an open seat in Harrisburg.
Republicans appeared poised to regain control of the state House, picking up at least eight seats, including three open seats. At least five incumbent House Democrats were defeated, including Majority Leader Todd Eachus, D-Luzerne.
Voters on Tuesday chose to re-elect Orie even as she awaits trial on charges of diverting public resources to a political campaign. Preliminary returns in the 40th District showed Orie beating Democrat Dan DeMarco, a Ross commissioner, 58 percent to 42 percent, with 99 percent of precincts reporting.
"I'm humbled and honored by the support of my consitutents," Orie said, celebrating with family and friends at Chadwick's in Wexford. "It shows they believe in me and what I've stood for. ... The next step is to vindicate myself and restore the good name given to me by my parents."
Brewster won a Senate special election to replace Monroeville Democrat Sean Logan, who resigned in September to take a job with University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. Brewster beat Republican Paul Olijar of Plum, 53 percent to 43 percent, with 98 percent of precincts reporting. Libertarian Len Young of Monroeville won about 5 percent of the vote.
"We're going to hit the ground running," Brewster said, promising to work hard.
A Democrat took the House seat held by former Republican Speaker John Perzel of Philadelphia, who faces similar corruption charges. With 97 percent of precincts reporting, Kevin Boyle won 54 percent of the vote to Perzel's 46 percent.
In the 50th District, former Democratic House Speaker Bill DeWeese of Waynesburg, also facing trial on public corruption charges, appeared on track to beat Republican Richard Yeager. With 94 percent of precincts reporting, DeWeese won 52 percent of the vote to Yeager's 48 percent.
But House Democrats James Casorio of Irwin and John Pallone of New Kensington lost seats the party held for decades, and Democrats Tim Seip, David Kessler and John Siproth also lost.
Democrats began the day with a five-seat margin, so barring a comeback in late returns, Republicans will retake control of the House after four years in the minority. In the state Senate, the GOP margin of 30 seats to 20 was not expected to change much, if at all.
"The governor, the Senate and the House — we've won them all," Allegheny County Republican Committee chair Jim Roddey told supporters at the victory rally for governor-elect Tom Corbett. "We're going to take control of the House of Representatives, and Mike Turzai (of Bradford Woods) will be our majority leader. What a great night. We waited a long time for this."
Also in the state House, incumbent Democrat Joseph Markosek will return to Harrisburg for a 15th term, defeating Plum council President Mike Doyle in the 25th Legislative District.
With 49 of 51 precincts in Allegheny and Westmoreland counties reporting, Markosek, a Monroeville resident, had 55 percent of the vote to Doyle's 45 percent.

Questions on Weekender Two-Burner Stove
- From Lke at 6/13/14 11:43 AM
From Pete at 8/20/13 12:10 PM
- Could I connect this stove to my RV's low pressure (regulated) propane supply using a quick-disconnect hose? I know it runs off a low pressure system, but that is produced by the stove's regulator and to run it directly off the RV's propane I would need to bypass the stove's regulator.
- Yes, you can. You will our RV connection hose, http://www.campchef.com/rv-connection-hose.html for the connection.
- Do you find this question helpful? Yes No
From Gregg at 8/9/13 9:30 AM
- Can I use the small propane bottle to power the weekender 2- Burner?
- It is possible to use the 1lb disposable canisters with the Weekender stove. You would need either an adapter (AD60) or a conversion hose (DBRA). Please keep in mind that because of the high BTU output of this stove, a 1lb canister will last about 15 minutes.
- Do you find this question helpful? Yes No
- From John at 5/29/13 2:05 PM
From Steve Reed at 5/20/13 7:05 AM

Burning feet (or hot feet) is a condition that can occur in many different types of people for many different reasons. Most commonly it is found in people over the age of 50 and in people with diabetes. Diabetics can be affected by burning feet due loss of feeling in the feet. A burning hot foot may be easily treatable or it may indicate a more serious problem that needs further investigation.
There are a number of possible causes for burning feet so treatment varies according to cause. Accurate diagnosis is therefore essential in preventing further irritation.
If you feel the burning is intolerable, it is advised that you see a doctor or Podiatrist/Chiropodist to be tested for some of the conditions listed above.

Chicken Yakitori
What is your favorite indulgence? One of mine would have to be eating out at Japanese restaurants. I used to eat out at Japanese restaurants here in Hawaii at least once a week. It was the highlight of my week…my reward for getting through the work week.
Sad to say, lately I've been trying to save money and have cut back on eating out. But I figured just because I can't go out to eat Japanese food, doesn't mean I still can't have some of the dishes that I love. I had unagi don the other night, and now tonight I'm doing a recreation of the chicken yakitori from one of my favorite Japanese restaurants.
3 pieces chicken breast
1 green bell pepper
1/2 round onion
1/2 cup low sodium soy sauce
4 Tbsp sugar
1 Tbsp mirin (Japanese sweet cooking wine) or sake
Start by soaking about ten wooden barbecue skewers in a pan of water. Cut the chicken breast, green bell pepper, and onion into small bite sized pieces. Combine the soy sauce, sugar, and mirin or sake and marinate everything together in a bowl for at least 10 minutes.
While this is sitting, line a large broiling pan with foil. Make sure it's a long piece so that you can fold the foil over the ends of the sticks to prevent burning. Skewer sticks with 2 to 3 pieces of each item and broil in the oven until browned. You'll want to turn the sticks over half way through for even cooking.
While this is cooking, prepare a sauce for the yakitori. I used about 3 Tbsp of low sodium soy sauce, 2 tsp sugar, 2 tsp water, and a tiny dash of sesame seed oil. I put it in the microwave for about a minute to heat up and dissolve the sugar. Right before eating, spoon some of this sauce over the yakitori for additional flavor.
If I'm not entertaining or otherwise caring about appearances, I usually just marinate the ingredients then lay everything out on a foil lined pan omitting the whole stringing on sticks step. This is much faster and results in less stress (and poked fingers).

Japanese restaurants….oh yes! I think you can imagine how "deprived" I feel because of the lack of decent japanese cuisine here. There are places in the larger cities like Milan, but I don't feel entirely confident of getting the "real thing" because as it goes, authentic must yield to prevailing preferences of the dining public. I've met way too many italians that love sushi, but don't like the wasabi sauce!
Can't wait to go back home…
- 2 Emiline { 02.14.08 at 1:44 pm }
Mmm, delicious. You have to love food on a stick.
I'm having difficulty finding Mirin, believe it or not.
But like you said, you can use sake…which I know we have.
- 3 Kevin { 02.14.08 at 3:34 pm }
Chicken yakitori is simple, easy and tasty.
- 4 Ivy { 02.14.08 at 8:13 pm }
Nice to find your site. Healthy food is always welcome and this recipe looks so good.
- 5 White On Rice Couple { 02.15.08 at 6:42 pm }
We love yakitori of all sorts when we go to our local izakaya's. But they can get expensive, that's why we don't eat there often. But we never thought of making it at home. WHY??!! Don't know, but your post is good reminder to start.

(Friday), the Hudson Mohawk Independent Media Center will
debut a new documentary, Independent Media in a Time of
War, the third in the Centers series of films exploring
themes related to the buildup to war with Iraq.
The documentary, narrated by Demo-cracy Now! host Amy
Goodman, was a collaborative effort of a number of Capital
Region filmmakers, editors and producers in the traditional
indie-media, DIY style. The filmmakers conducted exhaustive
research for the film, scouring a number of print and online
libraries, as well as a variety of media archives. The end
result, said Steve Pierce, who helped edit the film, is a
withering look at the Bush administrations case for war with
Iraq as portrayed by the mainstream media.
is a lot of stuff in there that people have never seen because
it was on Al Jazeera or it was on international programming,
Pierce said. The corporate media showed the fireworks over
Baghdad, the silhouettes of tanks and soldiers at sunset in
the desertthese really glamorized images of warwhereas in
Europe and other parts of the world, what they saw were images
of kids and women and civilian causalities.
Besides presenting the horrors of war unseen to American audiences,
Pierce said Independent Media offers a rallying call
to those unhappy with the mainstream medias representation
of the facts.
call to action is to not accept what were getting from the
corporate media, to challenge what theyre telling us, and
to create alternatives, Pierce said. The overriding agenda
is to encourage people to wake up and start holding some people
[in the media] accountable for their responsibility in what
Pierce said the film is being distributed by the Media Education
Foundation, which circulates various documentary films and
media literacy tapes to colleges and universities throughout
the country. Storied social activists Noam Chomsky, Robert
Mc Chesney, Naomi Klein and Todd Gitlin, among others, sit
on the 12-year-old organizations board of advisors.
Jeremy Scahill, an independent journalist with Democracy
Now! who has been unembedded in Baghdad since major conflict
began, will be the evenings featured speaker.
The film will be shown tomorrow (Friday, Sept. 12), at 7:30
PM at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institutes West Hall. Admission
to the screening is by donation and tapes of the film will
be on sale. All proceeds will go to benefit the Hudson Mohawk
Indy Media Center, which is part of a worldwide network of
media activists using traditional and new media technologies
to cover global movements for peace and justice.
in Stages
ventures have pretty miserable rates of success; artistic
entrepreneurial ventures, sadly, face even more daunting odds.
The most recent area organization to fall to those odds is
Saratoga Stages, the professional theatrical-production company
founded by Lew and Pat Titterton (co-owners of Funny Cide)
and Bruce Bouchard, the founding artistic director of Capital
Repertory Theatre.
Though the company generated critical enthusiasm for their
forward-looking programming and their ability to attract well-respected
troupessuch as the Barrow Group and Phillip Seymour Hoffmans
LAByrinth Theater Companyto the area, the money just wasnt
there. Audience response was favorable; audience size was
not. Furthermore, difficulties with fund-raising, the lack
of a dedicated performance venue and a slew of other logistical
obstacles made the going rough from the very beginning, when
the companys initial production was scaled down to a dramatic
home, a terribly difficult winter, a cold start with The
Dead Boy, our peripatetic nature, the war, the economy,
Bouchard ticks off. None of these things helped. When you
produce theater, you worry about any two of those things.
Those challenges notwithstanding, Bouchard is quick to point
out that Saratoga Stages did manage to present six professional
productions in just over a year, and for only $220,000.
thats everything, from staff to Roadrunner, Bouchard says.
You cant get any more cost-effective than that.
Bouchard identifies the hard work and contributions of his
staff and cofounders as primary factors in the companys artistic
successes: Kudos to the Tittertons for great taste, great
vision. We gave it a shot, it didnt work. Thats it.
Saratoga Stages will attempt to continue as a volunteer organization,
though at present the character and programming of this reconstituted
company is up in the air. Bouchard hints that he is looking
for new opportunities in the area, but will not divulge specifics.
I dont know, he chuckles, Im being coy.
He is intent on pursuing the mission of Saratoga Stages in
some form, however, and does allow that his next endeavor
may pick up where his last left off.
I continue doing what I feel pretty strongly I was put on
Earth to do, all those relationships are still in place.
weekend (Sept. 5 through 7), throngs of tattooed, pierced
and otherwise physically altered folks descended on the Hudson
Valleys premiere hippietown for the Woodstock Tattoo and
Body Arts Festival. The shindig gave people a chance to show
off their own bodily alterations and adornments, and, according
to reliable reports, critique other participants pins and
inkin often unflattering, even cutting, terms. Alls fair
in love and piercing, apparently. (You should see the pictures
we arent runningthe too-heavy fellow hanging by bloody fish
hooks was just a bit too much.)
