The Religification of John Kerry
How the candidate found his soul.
A few months ago, Mike McCurry, one-time Bill Clinton press secretary, paid a visit to some of his friends at the Kerry campaign. The topic was not economics or Iraq or terrorism. It was religion. He warned campaign aides Michael Donlon and Michael Meehan that Kerry's campaign urgently needed to shake the image that the candidate was uncomfortable with spiritual matters. Kerry's got to talk about his personal faith, McCurry urged.
The response was not encouraging. "It's very hard for him to do it," they told McCurry. "It's just not a comfortable thing to address." It's a cultural thing, McCurry concludes: "You ask a Northeast Catholic to talk about his faith and he says, 'Eh, no. What is this, catechism?' " Beyond crusty New England reticence, the Kerry campaign also feared that if they spoke about faith they would inflame the situation with critical Catholic Bishops. Better to lay low.
But Kerry's refusal to engage on faith posed serious problems. A substantial "religion gap" had developed, with people who attend church regularly moving increasingly into the Republican camp. A Time magazine poll showed that only 7 percent of people thought of Kerry as a person of strong faith, a statistic that was feeding the perception of him as a waffler. He was running no better among Catholics than Al Gore did, which, considering he's the first Catholic nominee in 44 years, is pretty amazing—and politically worrisome since Catholics are heavily represented in battleground states like Pennsylvania (30 percent Catholic), New Jersey (45.9 percent), Ohio (28 percent), Michigan (28 percent), Wisconsin (34.4 percent), Minnesota (28.7 percent), and New Hampshire (38.2 percent). And the Bush campaign was hitting "values" hard and brazenly organizing churches to mobilize Republican voters.
So, in the last few weeks, the Kerry campaign has shifted gears. The Religification of John Kerry has begun. He started lacing his speeches with a Bible reference here and there. He released a TV ad discussing his faith, and just days before the convention began, the campaign hired a new director of religious outreach.
And then came the convention speeches. Early on, it became clear that, at minimum, the secondary convention speakers would ratchet up the God-talk. It started with Clinton, whose central rhetorical device—"send me!"—was a reference to Isaiah 6:8 where God asks who will go tell Israel the bad news of His judgment for the unfaithful. Barack Obama declared, "I am my brother's keeper" (Genesis 4:9), decried efforts to use faith to divide people, and then directly went after the link between the GOP and faith. "The pundits like to slice-and-dice our country into Red States and Blue States; Red States for Republican, Blue States for Democrats. But I've got news for them, too. We worship an AWESOME God in the Blue States."
On Tuesday, Ron Reagan Jr.—son of the man who helped birth the "religious right"—slashed them. He declared that the Republican opposition to stem-cell research was a case of "the theology of a few" threatening "the health and well-being of the many"—a clash between "reason and ignorance." I've been trying to think of an analogy to capture just how remarkable this was: Perhaps it would be Chelsea Clinton getting up at a Republican convention 20 years from now to attack the permissive immorality of the Democratic Party.
Definitive evidence that this was a concerted effort by the Kerry campaign to buff the party's spiritual image came when Joseph Biden, of all people—not exactly a guy known for his spiritual aura—did a little preachin': "Just as Joshua's trumpets brought down the walls of Jericho—just as American values brought down the Berlin Wall—so will radical fundamentalism fall to the terrible, swift power of our ideas as well as our swords."
But none of this would have mattered much unless Kerry showed more of himself. Surprisingly, Teresa Heinz Kerry and John Edwards talked little about faith, leading me to wonder initially if the strategy was to have religious secondary characters while the principals remained secular.
On Thursday, though, Kerry came out of the spiritual closet in a big way. While commentators focused on his efforts to reclaim the flag, he also worked mightily to take back the Bible. Wounded Vietnam veteran Max Cleland started it off by declaring, "The Bible tells me that no greater love has a man than to lay down his life for his friends." He even described how he'd given Kerry his personal copy of the Bible. Then came the bio film, in which Kerry declared, "I am alive today because of the grace of a higher being."
Kerry's speech itself repeatedly used religious imagery in describing public policy positions. Environmentalism was about protecting "the cathedrals of nature." Funding Social Security was driven by the commandment "Honor thy father and thy mother." It seemed that all of a sudden most platform planks came from the Holy Spirit. I was half expecting the next line to be, "And just as David slew the terrorist Goliath with A Rock, so too should we slay the terrorists in Iraq."

hi there .. well all I would like to say is always be suspicious when you find a sapphire that is too clean, as in inclusions are not visible even when you see it with a loupe.

I just bought a real natural sapphire that is very dark and no visible inclusions under a loupe but 2 slightly lighter, almost spots that you have to search to find. I paid 900 from a jeweler I always use but for the first time, im worried. the stone looks to good to be true.

I just inherited a bracelet from my grandmother that she wore in the early 30's supposedly to some parties given by the Governor of the state at that time. They appear to be large light sapphire rectangles set in silver. I would say the color is closer to aquamarine than sapphire. Can you tell me if by my description of the the large stones (5) sounds like they may in fact be real.
- June 8, 2011 at 4:49 PM
- jewelryguru said...
Hi there,
The color that you mentioned could be that of sapphires and it is also possible that they are aquamarines only. So as of now let's hope that the gems are real only.
One thing that you can do at home to check if the gem is real is as I have also written in the article, check the presence of inclusions in the gemstones. Inclusions are like fine fingerprints of nature and even the best varieties of gems have them.
I would also recommend that you get your jewelry examined by a gemologist. It is always a good idea to know the actual worth of your jewelry.
For if it is real, those could be worth a fortune.
Best Wishes

Here is an excellent discussion on how a New York based company The Natural Sapphire company faked asterism on $200 blue cabochon and made it $20000 star sapphire. Some unscrupulous dealers such as The Natural Sapphire Company extensive indulge in image manipulating. Its important that you buy from well reputed dealers. The Natural Sapphire Company is already facing lot of consumer ire over doctored images as well as overpricing .

San Pedro (Belize): Software company founder John McAfee has said he is in hiding, unarmed and accompanied only by a young woman, changing locations and telephones frequently to stay one step ahead of a Belize police unit he says wants to kill him.
Belize police have said they want to question McAfee, who they describe as a "person of interest" in the slaying of fellow American Gregory Viant Faull. Faull, 52, was shot to death over the weekend on the Caribbean island where both men lived.
Prime Minister Dean Barrow said McAfee was only wanted for questioning and should report to authorities.
Barrow also expressed doubts about McAfee's mental state: "I don't want to be unkind to the gentleman, but I believe he is extremely paranoid, even bonkers."
McAfee, 67, who had a run-in with police earlier this year, told The Associated Press in a telephone interview from an undisclosed location that he didn't kill Faull, though he acknowledged he had differences with the dead man.
"I barely knew him, I barely spoke ten words to him in the last three years," McAfee said, speaking on a cellphone.
"Certainly he was not my favourite person and I was not his."
"He was a heavy drinker and an annoyance. But the world is full of annoyances; if we killed all of our annoyances, there would be nobody left," McAfee said.
Other expat residents of the island of Ambergris Caye, where San Pedro is located, have described Faull, the owner of a construction business in Orlando, Florida, as peaceful and well-liked.
The dispute apparently involved several dogs that McAfee kept at his beachside villa and that drew complaints from neighbours.
McAfee said that four of his dogs were poisoned late last week, but that he didn't initially suspect Faull of having killed them, though he knew Faull didn't like the dogs.
"He did threaten to shoot them once or twice," McAfee said of Faull, adding that his neighbour was "always angry at them."
But he said he now believes government agents or police poisoned the dogs.
"My assumption was it was some kind of government action again. This is more harassment – that was the first thing that went through my mind, and still is going through my mind. What else could it have been?" he said yesterday.
But McAfee said he feared that Belize's notorious Gang Suppression Unit, the GSU, a paramilitary-style squad that has been accused of rough treatment and that raided another property McAfee owns in Belize in April, would beat him and he would later die in custody.
"The GSU will do what the GSU does, beat me soundly until I confess to a multitude of sins, including I guess the murder of Jimmy Hoffa, and then just execute me," McAfee said.
He accused authorities of detaining his friends and associates in a bid to pressure him to turn himself in.

Milhouse by koko-jamboWatch
©2011-2016 koko-jambo
Milhouse Van Houten
Kind of reminds me of a fanart that I did with Milhouse and Lisa. In it Lisa is with a boy she loves a lot but you can see how sad Milhouse is when he sees them.
in all honesty he's better off with out her.
Aw, poor Milhouse. Although it was nice to know that Lisa actually does care about the guy. :3
This never will happen,because of Bart.
Maybe you're right, but not because of Bart.
Mm... because of Lisa?
Because of himself mostly.
Yeah xD
Or not. It only doesn't happen, because of the status quo. Most futures end with Lisa married to Millhouse in the same way that Arnold/Helga was going to happen had Hey Arnold been allowed to continue. In fact, since Craig based Arnold on himself as a kid on top of voicing Helga's own wheezing creeper Brainy and his wife came up with Helga's stalker crush, one could say that Craig Bartlett's marriage to Lisa Groening IS a real-life Millhouse/Lisa (Matt Groening did based the nuclear Simpson family on his own) or Arnold/Helga/Brainy.
I hate Milhouse. I love Bart. That's it. I ignore Milhouse instead of flaming at his fans because i'm a good guy and i respect it. If you don't like Bart,and Bart and Lisa's friendship (watch "Milhouse doesn't live here anymore" and you will understand me) ignore me,all the fans,and it.
Have a nice day!
Have a nice day!
Look, I like Bart too. He and Millhouse are best friends, if you've forgotten. Also, I do like Bart and Lisa's sibling bond, but unlike some, I am also able to distinguish between sibling love and incest (to that end, I don't understand people pairing Bart and Lisa, since they're siblings) and though I support the former (sibling love), the latter (incest) I view as immorally wrong. I just feel for Millhouse, since he's the butt monkey (much like Meg on Family Guy).
But is a fucking bad nerd,and needs the axe.
And on season 26 she doesn't care about Milhouse anymore.
They're only cartoons,not real life people,i just ignore the bad shitty characters like Milhouse.
I hate the people with a personality like Milhouse and i'm not the only one xD
And on season 26 she doesn't care about Milhouse anymore.

Again, she only doesn't care because of the status quo. Millhouse is the butt monkey. Like Squidward on Spongebob, some sympathize, whereas others - the majority in Millhouse's case, unfortunately - hate on him. Furthermore, they may be cartoons, but The Simpsons ARE based upon people from Matt Groening's life.

Hotels, Cinemascope I EP
Self-released, April 24
Seattle four-piece Hotels are disciples of two oft-cited (and occasionally overlapping) trends from the '80s: post-punk and new wave. On the band's forthcoming EP, Cinemascope I, the former shows up in the fluid guitar lines and lockstep drumming, the latter in the dense layers of keyboards and electronics; appropriately, the band lists the likes of Joy Division and Cocteau Twins as influences. The four songs here range in mood from brooding ("Spider Party") to lively ("The Reddest Rose," which sounds like a synth-heavy Strokes outtake) to spaced-out (the coda of six-minute-long "True Crime"), indicative of a band savvy about how it wears its influences.
Listen to "The Reddest Rose" after the jump, and get a free download of "Spider Party" on Hotels' Bandcamp. If you like what you hear, the band is playing an EP release show April 27 at the Columbia City Theater.

The 23-year-old Cherry Point marine from Havelock was arrested in Morehead City Thursday after police say he showed up to meet who he thought was a fifteen year old girl, for sex. Morehead City police say they have been posing as a teen and talking online to Justin Billingsley for a month. They say Billingsley, online, talked in explicit terms about the sexual activity he wanted to engage in with her, even sending pornographic pictures of himself to whom he thought was an underage girl. Billingsley is charged with solicitation of a child by computer to commit an unlawful sex act and disseminating pornography to a minor under the age of 16.

Kevin Nash leaving WWE
The history books were changed when Kevin Nash and Scott Hall left WWE for WCW. New details from that chapter have been revealed. During a podcast interview with Steve Austin, Hall revealed that one of the reasons why Nash was willing to leave the promotion was because management sided with Bret Hart in his decision to refuse to take the power bomb finisher. Nash felt that management did not have enough respect for him.

Kevin Nash heat
There is some backstage heat on Kevin Nash from WWE because of his hall of fame induction. For starters, management is upset with him for refusing to be inducted as the Diesel character. Nash did not want to be remembered as one of the worst drawing champions of all time. Being inducted under his real name enables him to use that in Hollywood. Another reason why the front office is upset is because Nash put over WCW for giving guaranteed contracts.

Roman Reigns comparison
An interesting comparison was made recently in regards to how WWE is using Daniel Bryan and Roman Reigns. Someone stated that it was like in 1994 when fans wanted Bret Hart to be pushed, but management went with Kevin Nash instead. Hart himself responded to the comparison by saying that he really wanted Nash to do well because they were friends, but he felt that the front office should have given Nash another year to be built up.

Big Daddy Cool induction
When Scott Hall was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame, he did so under the Razor Ramon moniker. When the company announced that Kevin Nash was going to be inducted at Wrestlemania this year, it was only natural for fans to wonder about which name he would be using that evening. It has now been confirmed that Nash will be inducted under the Big Daddy Cool character. The reason is because the company owns the rights to Diesel.

Kevin Nash induction speech
Since the late Randy Savage is not available to be there in person, it looks like WWE will rely on Kevin Nash to close out the hall of fame ceremony. The plan is to have him be the main event of the show because he is one of the best talkers around. Plus, it would give fans an opportunity to hear Shawn Michaels speak as well. Another reunion of the Clique is a possibility, as Triple H, Sean Waltman and Scott Hall will be there.

Hulk Hogan appreciation night
If you live in New York, tonight is a special occasion at Madison Square Garden. WWE is running a live event, and the theme of the show is Hulk Hogan appreciation night. That means that you will get multiple chances throughout the night to see the legend in person. Management is also bringing in his nWo partners, Kevin Nash and Scott Hall, for the event. There are also rumors that Ric Flair and other performers could be brought in as well.
February 27, 2015
Kevin Nash backstage heat
While there were a lot of assumptions that there would be backstage heat on Kevin Nash for going on social media and telling fans that he has no intentions of ever doing business again with WWE, the opposite has been true. Management is aware that he is one of the guys in the industry that still enjoys pulling the wool over the eyes of fans. It is believed that Nash understand why the company had to suspend him and did not take it personal.

DIY Photography Hacks: why a blank CD case is the perfect rain guard for your lens
We've tackled weather problems quite a bit in our DIY Photography Hacks series, but this might be our most ingenious DIY photography invention yet! In this tutorial we'll show you how to transform the cover from a simple case of blank CDs into the perfect rain guard for your lens.
While there's no guaranteed method of keeping your gear dry, this DIY photography guide should give you at least a fighting chance against the elements.
You'll need the cover from a case of blank CDs (the ones from large multi-packs are ideal), polythene (such as the stuff used to pack sofas and mattresses) and gaffer tape, which is strong and easy to tear off the roll.
It'll help to have a ruler, compasses for drawing a perfect circle and a sharp craft knife.
How to make your DIY photography rain guard
01 Calculate the diameter
Find out the diameter of your favourite lens and then halve that amount. Take the compasses, preferably holding a marker pen, and set them to the size you calculated earlier – so, if the lens diameter is 77mm, half that number is 38.5mm.
02 Cut out your circle
Put the compasses' point in the centre of the CD stack cover and draw a circle. Cut out the circle with the knife. Take another cover, cut out a wider circle and leave about an inch of overhang on the sides.
03 Connect your rain guard
Join both together with gaffer tape. The overhang of the second CD stack cover will serve as a slight deterrent to raindrops hitting the lens.
04 Fix the polythene
Chose polythene that's clear enough to see through or big enough to cover your head. Carefully slice a line no wider than the lens and tease over the CD cover. Gaffer tape it down.
05 Make sure it's watertight!
Examine your work and look for holes or splits. If you're confident the gear will be watertight in a downpour then, with caution, step out of the door and brave the weather.

Health Education Plan for Community Obesity
Wendie Land, RN

Beth Edwards, MSN, BC, FNP
Health Education Plan for Community Obesity
This health education plan's creation was based on the information collected from the Windshield Survey of the Jacksonville, Florida area. This plan is directed towards the community as a whole. The plan will include: a description of the educational need; establish a goal and three objectives for the community; select two appropriate educational methods; outlines the steps to implement the plan; and evaluates the educational process including educator and process evaluation.
Educational Need
There is a clear educational need for the prevention of obesity and the reduction of obese people within the community. As identified in the Windshield Survey, Jacksonville has an adult obesity rate of 27.5% and a diabetes rate of 10.4% (City Data, 2010). According to Active Diner (2010) there are 1,910 fast food restaurants in the city.
Obesity, like cancer, is not just one disease but instead many conditions with varying causes. The terms of obesity and overweight are often used interchangeably, but they refer to different health problems. Overweight is an increase in body weight for height compared with a reference standard, or up to 10% greater than ideal body weight (IBW). However, this leads me not reflect excess body fat. It is possible for a well-developed athlete to appear overweight because of increased muscle (lean) mass, in which the proportion of muscle to fat is greater than average (Hall, 2006).
Obesity refers to an excess amount of body fat when compared with lean body mass. The normal amount of body fat in men is between 15% and 20% of body weight. For women, the normal amount is between 18% and 32%. An obese person weighs at least 20% above the upper limit of the normal range for ideal body weight. Morbidity city, also called extreme obesity, refers to a weight that has a...

TIJUANA Walking into Mexico from San Ysidro will soon be a more pleasant experience, Baja California authorities said Thursday. Within two months, the state government is planning to complete a new entrance that is expected to serve some 25,000 pedestrians who cross daily into Mexico.
"This will allow us to have an entry to our country that's more practical, secure and far more dignified," Gov. Francisco Vega de Lamadrid said during a tour of the facility.
The new inspection area will be housed in a three-level, $4.2 million structure being built with state and federal funds. The building will replace the provisional Mexican entrance that has been operating since September 2012, when the U.S. government opened its new pedestrian crossing into Mexico on the eastern side of the San Ysidro crossing.
Mexico's new structure will be the newest piece of a complex reconfiguration being planned in Tijuana that includes commercial areas, a park and connections to a future rapid-transit system. The future building will also house several government agencies, including Baja California's Tourism Secretariat and Mexico's federal Tax Administration Service, which oversees Mexican customs.
Longer-term changes await pedestrians who often wait hours to enter the United States at San Ysidro. The U.S. General Services Administration expects to open a western pedestrian facility in January 2016. On the eastern side, a new pedestrian building is planned, but not yet funded.

Evaluations of Regional Competitiveness: Making a Case for Case Studies
This paper provides an overview of the concepts of regional competitiveness, including definitions, conceptual models, measurements, and the benefits and shortcomings of following a strategy to enhance competitiveness. Next, city-region rankings and indices of competitiveness are reviewed and the usefulness of these studies is summarized. Potential roles for regional scientists for improving (1) evaluations of regional competitiveness and (2) applications of evaluations to regional development policy are suggested. Recommendations are made regarding the need for additional case study research by regional scientists in order to improve the quality and relevance of information used by public policy makers. Quality case studies also will enhance the roles of regional scientists in the policy process concerned with improving a region's prospects for economic growth and development.

I was on a roof and someone driving by wanted me to check out this rental house and give him a bid. He and his son will tear everything off and replace the tar paper, drip edge, I&W etc. Its a 21 sq 2 story house with about an 8/12 pitch and its all cut up. I think it has like 6 gables. Then the garage is like 5 sq one story obviously with a 8/12 pitch. I told him I could do it all for around 3k. He was shocked. He said he can get big roofing companies in this small town of like 8k ppl to do it for like $30/sq. I told him fine but there is no way im doing it for that cheap(<$800). He started arguing with me on the phone that its way to much blah blah blah and that he would do it himself for $3k. What are LEGAL companies charging for new construction shingling????
whos supplying material, nails, and getting rid of waste?
LABOR ONLY with my gun, hose and compressor. And he has a skytrak to get the shingles on the roof.
I could find subs to do it for that, with work comp, all day long!
now... i wouldnt SELL it for that to a customer. I'd want $60-75/sq. lol
when customers tell me im "too high" and that the next guy said he would do it for thousands of dollars less, i just tell them "maybe im not the right roofer for you" and walk away.
$30/sq does not even cover my labour costs for shingling alone....I agree.....$60/sq minimum.......If i was told $30, my comment would be, that roofer is working for barely wage and good luck finding them if you have a problem a couple years down the road, then hand him my business card with my repair rates on the back.$85/hr + materials.......
most landlords are cheap
Twelve years in business and I've done less than five rentals.
Sure theres guys that would do if for that price but that doesn't mean you have to.
one dollar per square foot if they supply everything. New work clean deck. rip is another dollar at least.
Agreed, and couldn't say it better.
The problem is ..They could care less if the other guy has anything,They are only looking for a cheap job...and that is what they will get.Initially cheap,but it costs allot more to have it done cheap 2 or 3 times....
Heres an idea. Do it for that 30 a square. Make sure he knows that there is no liability insurance or anything. Then fall of the roof of the lower part. Then call a laywer!
Whenever I do jobs on the side, I always write in the contract that the homeowner understands this is a cash only job and no insurance is to be used. If any damage occurs to the house or any injuries to anyone working on the roof, homeowner accepts full responsiblity.
Anyways, I wouldnt do it for less than 2 grand and thats if I were by myself and it was a side job.
Liability does not coer injuries, only damage to property. Workers Comp covers injuries.
BamBamm, I do not know your local laws, but around here you'd be a criminal. Don't worry though that's how more than half my so called competitors operate and nothing seems to happen to them.
haha Grumpy I know. I meant workers comp. Had a brain fart. I would have to say that roughly 6 out of 10 guys operate that way and the homeowners have NO IDEA the problems they would have if anyone did get hurt on their jobs.
a walkable new construction roof[labour only] would cost me 40 a square, plus 11% WCB. Then add on 30% for the company and it still doesn't seem like its worth my while. i guess thats why i dont get new construction jobs
thanks guys for all the input. I was totally shocked that he would even be that pissed and argue with me on the phone bc i was giving him a quote where i can make a decent wage. There was/is no way im doing any work that cheap unless its for my parents. Its not worth my time getting up on a 2 story "UN-walkable" roof for 30/sq. It does however piss me off knowing that there are people that will work that cheap and take work away from ME and other people that know what they are doing and have insurance.
Exactly..........I get the occasional new con. but it is on my terms......not the cheap contractor.
Cash deal? I would go and put 10 sq on. I'm sure I could bring a friend or two to help with the rest.

MD Skincare's All Over Blemish Solution recently won the CEW Insider's Choice Award. The CEW Beauty Awards are the industry's highest honor, recognizing the most innovative beauty products of the year.
"After studying many patients with acne conditions, I know how important it is for a product to help heal current blemishes while working to prevent future breakouts. The real secret is to prevent future breakouts. Using this product today will get ahead of your complexion problem now." - Dr. Dennis Gross
Formulated to treat "flat" versus "bumpy" acne. The key feature of All-Over Blemish Solution is the fact that it addresses future blemishes before they appear.
An oil-like, lipid-loving formula that goes deep into pores to dissolve waxy oil plugs, while delivering a powerful combination of active ingredients – breaking down existing blemishes faster by working from the outside-in and preventing future blemishes from the inside-out. Salicylic Acid lifts and removes the blackhead or waxy plug clogging the pore. Farnesol kills bacteria that lead to breakouts and Bisabolol soothes redness and inflammation.
Additionally, your skin's oil production is normalized by the inclusion of a Chelator in the product formula.
i had light acne before using this, only to find out it made it worse after using it. i grew little white heads along with the new pimples. i stopped wearing makeup for the sake of my acne but that didn't seem to help either. If your face is sensitive to alcohol please please don't use it. the kit comes with a moisturizer to use after the alcohol based product (because alcohol dries up your face) but i guess both products don't work. oh and of course i stopped using the eliminating pads because they smelled so strong and heavy with alcohol, i only used it twice and it made my acne worse.
I have used this product for about 9 months.
I have several small non-inflamed bumps that I am trying to get rid of. This product did nothing it claims! Maybe for a teen it would help with oily skin, but for mature skin I saw no difference just lighter in the wallet. This product tends to ball up when using it under moisturizer and foundation.
this is an easy 2 in one for the morning routine--it helps prevent acne and controls shine--I bought this and others for my teenage boys to try--this got a thumbs up from both--so this one we will stick with
Smooth all over on clean, dry skin. For best results, start by using in the PM after cleansing, oilier skins may use in both AM/PM.
This product cannot be shipped to the following countries: Australia, Germany, Sweden
There are no DOT restrictions on the delivery of this item – you may elect to have this item sent through any of our delivery methods.

2005 BMW X3 ProblemsOil Leaks From Engine Area
Valve cover gasket leaks are common after 60,000 miles. Symptoms will include oil drips under the vehicle and burning oil smell from the engine compartment.
An engine coolant leak may develop from the expansion tank resulting in engine overheating. When a cooling system component fails the entire cooling system should be inspected. It is not uncommon to find additional component have failed or are leaking.
Overheating can cause severe engine damage. If the engine begins to overheat it is recommended to stop at the first available location and have your vehicle towed to a repair shop.
I noticed the a/c not cooling properly couple of weeks ago. 57k on the car. I charged it up with freon which took a whole can. Worked great after that, week later steam/smoke came out of the vents & since then the a/c is steadily becoming less cool.

USAMU hosts Army National Junior Air Rifle Championship
March 6, 2014
By Mr. Michael Molinaro, ASA(MampRA)
Related Links
FORT BENNING, Ga. (Mar. 7, 2014) -- Dozens of the nation's top junior air-rifle shooters competed at the 2014 U.S. Army National Junior Air Rifle Championship, Feb. 24-26, at Pool International Range Complex.
Hosted by the U.S. Army Marksmanship Unit, or USAMU, juniors between the ages of 14-18 from around the country competed for national titles in two divisions--Sporter and Precision--under the watchful eye of the USAMU's world-class shooter/instructors.
"I really enjoyed this match," said Ashley Durham. "It was a huge honor to work with the AMU team. They are good at what they do, so to compete in front of them was really cool."
Durham and her Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps, JROTC, teammates from Dalton McMichael High School in North Carolina, brought home the Sporter Division title, holding off Fountain-Fort Carson High School. Durham led the way, adding the Sporter Division individual championship to her collection of trophies.
David Sink, from Columbia, Md., took home top honors in the Precision Division while he and his teammates from Queen Anne's 4-H won the Precision national team championship. More than $31,000 in endowment money was awarded to teams and individuals from the Georgia Youth Sport Shooting Foundation.
Taking time out from training for the upcoming competition season, USAMU Soldiers from the International Rifle section provided instruction and mentorship for the competitors. For some of them, this match took them back to the days when they were a young shooter finding their way in the sport.
"I shot this very competition when I was a junior," said Sgt. 1st Class Hank Gray. "It was hosted by the [National] Guard back then. It's rewarding to go from a competitor to host and do the same thing for the future generation of shooters like it was done for me."
The USAMU supports our nation's youth by fostering junior participation in prestigious state and national rifle competitions, promoting firearms safety, and connecting them with the expertise and professionalism of the Army and its Soldiers. Gray said he and his teammates enjoyed the exchange with the junior shooters and the opportunity to answer their questions about shooting and the military.
"The neat thing about being a member of [the USAMU] is that we are looked at as the experts," Gray said. "As a former junior shooter they know we have been there -- they know the things we are going to tell them are things we experienced before. I made the same mistakes and this is how you get past them."
Despite being billed as a national championship and the prestige that goes along with it, attendees said that the professionalism of the USAMU is what stood out the most at this year's event.
"Being here has been very uplifting," said retired Air Force Master Sgt. Scott Davis, who brought the McMichael High team to the match. "The USAMU made it more than just a fun match -- they provided a learning environment. They were the first to step in and show the kids how to do something or another way of doing it.
"All of [the juniors] commented on how top notch the USAMU Soldiers are."
USAMU is part of the U.S. Army Accessions Brigade, Army Marketing and Research Group and is tasked with enhancing the Army's recruiting effort, raising the standard of Army marksmanship and furthering small arms research and development to enhance the Army's overall combat readiness.

With Mark McGwire managing for the first time in place of ejected Andy Green, Wil Myers and Derek Norris hit two-run homers and Adam Rosales added a solo shot for the San Diego Padres, who rallied to beat the Pittsburgh Pirates 5-4 Tuesday night.
Green was tossed for arguing after a sequence in which Andrew McCutchen was awarded home on a balk by Colin Rea, and then the umpires twice reversed their call, eventually giving the Pirates the run. McGwire came out to lead Green off the field.
McGwire, baseball's one-time single-season home run king, was hired as Green's bench coach in December.

Preparing For The Revelation
Via Mark J. Grant, author of Out of the Box,
Spain---The Farce Continues
"A popular Government, without popular information, or the means of acquiring it, is but a Prologue to a Farce or a Tragedy; or, perhaps both."
-James Madison
In the spirit of the European Bank Stress Tests and in the continuum of the Ring around the Rosie concocted by Brussels we are about to be handed another slew of numbers that will show that Spain is fine, prospering and running along just with no difficulties at all; thank you. This data is being prepared by the German firm Oliver Wyman, the German consulting firm. You may recall that we were supposed to have audited financials by the end of September, which was promised by Spain, however that was apparently canceled and there is no such audit underway. So much for the promises of Spain.
I can tell you now, with surety, that the evaluation that we will be handed by Oliver Wyman will have all of the value of the paper found in the "banos" of any restaurant in Madrid. My viewpoint is based upon two fundamental points of logic; first is that Spain admittedly engages in "dynamic provisioning" which means that they manipulate their books to their advantage and second is that the Oliver Wyman report audited nothing, checked nothing, validated nothing but merely took the data handed to it by Spain and the Spanish banks and accepted it as factual which I can assure you; it is not given their property valuations. Given the newest bank fantasy test, the only stress being some Spanish politician keeping a straight face while he tells the world that this proves that Spain and her banks are solvent and only have a minor liquidity problem; I will warn you on the eve of its release that it is garbage and should be either ignored or used for your investment committee as a an example of how not to do things in a fiscally responsible company.
Upon being handed toilet paper it is wise to recognize it for what it is and to use it accordingly.
The Unconditional, Uncapped & Conditional ECB
On 6 September 2012 the Governing Council of the European Central Bank (ECB) decided on additional measures to preserve collateral availability for counterparties in order to maintain their access to the Euro system's liquidity-providing operations.
"Change in eligibility for central government assets: The Governing Council of the ECB has decided to suspend the application of the minimum credit rating threshold in the collateral eligibility requirements for the purposes of the Euro system's credit operations in the case of marketable debt instruments issued or guaranteed by the central government, and credit claims granted to or guaranteed by the central government, of countries that are eligible for Outright Monetary Transactions or are under an EU-IMF program and comply with the attached conditionality as assessed by the Governing Council."
" … Expansion of the list of assets eligible to be used as collateral: The Governing Council of the ECB has also decided that marketable debt instruments denominated in currencies other than the euro, namely the US dollar, the pound sterling and the Japanese yen, and issued and held in the euro area, are eligible to be used as collateral in Euro system credit operations until further notice. This measure reintroduces a similar decision that was applicable between October 2008 and December 2010, with appropriate valuation markdowns."
I think they included, but declined to innumerate, feta cheese crates, olive oil containers, various ouzo bottles, gyro sandwich shop receipts, phyllo triangles, pita leftovers and the little round wooden containers of goat cheese. With a four trillion dollar balance sheet and paid-in capital of $13.8 billion the ECB is the most leveraged government institution on Earth. The supposition here, of course, is they can print money if necessary but I ask the quite serious question of the value of that money as printed. They are already printing, of course, as demonstrated by the Greek and Spanish banks in their newest concoction of "Euroloans" and there may come a time when investors or the ratings agencies or both are going to wake-up to the fact of what is really going on and that, my friends, will be quite a moment which is why I continue to warn about Europe and to advise avoiding exposure because the day will come, the day will arrive, when reality is recognized and then the moment will not just be "Oh My" but "Oh My God" and I fear that he won't be around that day to deliver any manna from Heaven.
The ECB
Loans to Financial Intermediaries, Non-Financial Corporations and Households
Outstanding Amounts (Billions) July 31, 2012
Insurance/Corps Other Financials Non-financial Corps Households Total
$107.3 $1,508 $6,060 $6,760 $14,435.3
Source: Monthly Bulletin - Euro Area Statistics Online • Data last updated on 20-09-2012
These ECB loans total almost the entire GDP of all of the EU-17. Now you may ask a quite reasonable question at this point; how does the ECB have fifteen trillion dollars in loans outstanding and only have a balance sheet of four trillion dollars? It is an interesting trick; no doubt! The way they do it is to state that many of these loans are guaranteed by other governments and hence are risk free (the way they are actually counted) or that they are contingent liabilities (and not counted) or that they are guaranteed by some bank that is guaranteed by their sovereign nation (not counted) and so these loans do not appear of the balance sheet of the ECB but here they are as provided by data from the ECB themselves. A Revelation?
The Law of Nations forestalls the crash but the Law of Averages virtually guarantees it while the precise moment of impact is unobtainable that is exactly why I am so cautious and so determined in my viewpoint that exposure to Europe should be avoided. The impact is surely coming and in my mind; it is only a question of "When?"
"The idiocy will continue as long as the practices of Judas are believed to have been sanctified by a higher authority. The moment of the Last Supper will be inspirational to both the believers and those that chose not to believe. I am quite prepared to enjoy the Revelation in its full Biblical consequence."

Molly geez.....is it really that bad?
In addition to turning off the light at the end of the tunnel they have cancelled bedtime snacks.
Does that answer it?
They may have turned off the light at the end of the tunnel but the train is still rapidly approaching.
Insolvency is barreling down the tracks.
It is. Rajoy will need to request, but he is stalling for time. His party faces crucial regional elections on October 21, and he is trying to extricate better terms for the inevitable bailout:

Burn Brussels. Burn.
Looks like the Spanish Army are getting upset. Lets hope they don't use some of the old school tricks they used to play on people they did not like. Hmmmm?
I am responsible only to God and history.

'Course not...Generalissimo Francisco Franco is still dead.
Is that really supposed to be Euros, or is it converted to US Dollars? Makes a difference of around 30%.
Not a lot in the scheme of things European.
Another miracle? Saved again? This must be like heaven -sin, sin, sin -and get saved with God's loving redemption -every week. This can go on forever. Let's party on. This time it really is different. Ben and Draghi have magic wands-unbelievable. DOW to 30,000-with no inflation.
"The Law of Nations forestalls the crash but the Law of Averages virtually guarantees it..."
That's a beauty.
I have taken to telling people when explaining, through their disbelief of course, that their belief is not required.
It's coming.
That can's gotta be kicked a bit further down the road, until after the POTUS election. Just the same way the Troika have been ordered to suppress the data on Greece. Don' want no upturned apple carts just yet thank you.
All this hubbub about a measly 14.5 trillion Euros of debt? Pshaw! how much is that in real money, like tons of gold or a couple of Big Macs?
As long as i can get drunk with my worthless Euro's, it is ok for me...Cheers!

This page is not very good because were were not there long. It has a few photos we took while we drove around Winfield trying to find the Prairiefest.

in response to Teaz-
- A lot. Probably as many as you want.
- No.
- What do you mean?
- Probably.
- Pages is strictly for typing. There are other apps for drawing.
- It can me exported over email as a Pages doc, a PDF, and a Word doc.
- As of today, it can only be done one-by-one. I hope they'll change this.
Glad to help. Definitely buy the app. It has so many great features. I haven't been disappointed once since the day I purchased the entire iWork suite for my iPod touch.
Dick Gr Nov 27, 2012 1:47 PM
in response to Teaz-
3. I see no way to work on or display more than one document at a time. It's basically a single window system.
5. There is no handwriting recgnition as part of Pages.
Teaz- Nov 27, 2012 2:00 PM
in response to BigTarantula99
Thanks for the reply so far,
1. So there is no limit to the number of documents that a folder can hold/save? Im looking at around 170+ documents to some folders.
3. Basically to be able to view/open/preview 2 or 3 documents side by side or alongside each other for comparison or other viewing/checking purposes. I tend to view 2 or 3 documents side by side each other for checking purposes instead of having to snap back and forth between the documents I work on.
5. In future, will it allow it? I would be really nice if it could as I would like to mark drafting arrows, circles or notes to a page which can later be removed upon decision.
Teaz- Nov 27, 2012 2:11 PM
in response to Dick Gr
I'm not bothered about it being single window or small screen. If the documents can be alined to each other side by side and I can scroll or swipe it left and right or up and down, I would be content. I wouldn't mind if it was all squashed into a single screen so long as I can pinch in an out to view it.
BigTarantula99 Nov 27, 2012 2:12 PM
in response to Teaz-
1. I do not believe there is any limit. I'm judging by the Keynote app on my iPod touch, which I have close to 75 presentations in a single folder.
3. Pages is only capable of viewing a single document at once, sorry about that.
5. I don't know; that's something to hope for in the future. But that would be nice!
Dick Gr Nov 27, 2012 3:10 PM
in response to Teaz-
5. It is possible to add charts, tables, and some basic shapes, one of which is a text box. That would be easy to find and delete as a unit. The real comments feature is in MAC OS X Pages, but comments are stripped and changes accepted in moving them to IOS pages.
Teaz- Nov 27, 2012 3:14 PM
in response to BigTarantula99
I see, I just don't really want to be making multiple folders under something like 'folder1' 'folder2' 'folder 3' etc and so on. Just keeping it all in one folder.
Does it lag for you by any chance upon scrolling through them?
BigTarantula99 Nov 27, 2012 3:37 PM
in response to Teaz-
I don't have many documents in Pages, just in Keynote. Since the same company makes both apps, I believe lots of documents can be stored in one folder. The documents can be sorted by date created or in alphabetical order.
I have experienced some lag, but nothing that would make the app crash or anything.

Latino Digital Divide: Native Born vs. Foreign Born
While rates of internet and cell phone use among native-born Hispanics are relatively high, technology use for the full population of Hispanics continues to lag behind the use rates of the non-Hispanic population.
How Americans Interact with Government Online
Fully 82% of internet users (61% of all Americans) looked for information or completed a transaction on a government website in the past year. Most government website visitors were happy with their experience, accomplishing everything or much of what they wanted to do.
Tomorrow's News
Most media executives do not see a bright future for journalism. Still, newspaper leaders are more optimistic than their partners in broadcast. Finding revenue is a giant problem, but there is strong resistance to taking government or advocacy dollars.
Chronic Disease and the Internet
Americans living with a chronic disease are significantly less likely than healthy adults to have internet access. The majority are online, however, and they are more likely to share what they know and to learn from their peers.
Latinos Online: Narrowing the Gap
From 2006 to 2008, internet use among Latino adults rose by 10 percentage points, from 54% to 64%, compared with a 4-percentage-point rise among whites and a 2-percentage-point rise among blacks. The growth among Latinos was driven mainly by increased usage by the foreign born and those with lower incomes — groups that have low rates of online activity.
Civic Engagement Online: Politics as Usual
The internet is not changing the character of civic engagement, as participation remains the domain of those with high levels of income and education. However, there are hints that forms of civic engagement anchored in blogs and social networking sites could alter long-standing patterns.
Home Broadband Adoption 2009
Strong growth among senior citizens and rural residents has pushed the number of Americans with high-speed internet connections to 63%, up from 55% in 2008. But African Americans experienced their second consecutive year of below-average broadband adoption growth.
Internet Typology: The Mobile Difference
Glance at any coffee shop, train station or airport boarding gate, and it is easy to see that mobile access to the internet is taking root in our society. A new Pew Internet Typology study divides information and communication technology users into 10 groups ranging from the "Digital Collaborators" and "Media Movers" to "Tech Indifferent" and "Off the Network."
Generations Online in 2009
Contrary to the image of Generation Y as the "Net Generation," internet users in their twenties do not dominate every aspect of online life. Gen X is the most likely to shop, bank and look for health information online. And larger percentages of older generations are doing many more activities online.
Stimulating Broadband: If Obama Builds It, Will They Log on?
Investment in broadband has become part of the broader discussion about President Obama's economic stimulus package; Pew Internet Project surveys suggest that expanding access may take longer than some advocates anticipate.
