DALLAS (AP) - Mayor Laura Miller has called for a review of spending practices by the Dallas Convention & Visitors Bureau because the bureau has spent thousands of dollars on trips, dinners and alcohol.
In interviews with WFAA-TV and The Dallas Morning News on Friday, she said she told the chairman of the bureau to give her a list of potential policy changes on Monday.
WFAA has reported on numerous expenses by David Whitney, president and chief executive officer of the tax-supported convention and visitors bureau. They range from $2,800 on wine to a $2,200 trip to Mexico.
In addition, Whitney received a $43,000 bonus this year at a time when the city covered a $95 million shortfall by raising property taxes and cutting jobs.
"First of all, we're not in the kind of climate when anyone gets bonuses," Miller said. "We are not going to have anyone buying liquor in bulk and taking it to their house. There will be a long list of policy changes."
Whitney, who has led the Dallas Convention & Visitors Bureau for 12 years, defended the expenses. He said that the bureau, funded by hotel/motel tax revenue, spends about $13 million a year but brings in $2 billion worth of business.

Definitely hard to tell what colors we are dealing with there, stitch. Are those trousers as dark as they look on screen?
That answers my concern about the trousers being too dark for that jacket. Not a fan of the shoes in general, but you roll with it.

love your plugin.
wanted to report a possible bug.
i'm using your plugin with author widget 2.1.
The problem is that the Widget is getting mixed up, when counting the posts of the specific author, even after i'm giving one of the authors Exclusivity for a specific post - after it have been saved by another author, it won't show the latest registered author of Co-Author Plus.
Maybe you guys could work together with authors widget, because i think it will give both of the plugins a better support and a wider community.
The other option is to maybe make a duplicate forked-out widget in the Co-Author Plus plugin.
What do you say, guys?

THIS IS THE RIGHT WAY COOK SWEET POTATO CASSEROLE.
I'm 83 A HAVE COOKED THE CASSEROLE FOR OVER 55 YEARS.
YOU DON'T MASH THE POTATO,UNLESS YOU ARE MAKING A PIE!!!

 CAROLYN
I made this recipe for Thanksgiving and everyone thought it was very good. I liked the flavor too. I used canned sweet potatoes and doubled the brown sugar, orange juice and pumpkin spice that was added to the sweet potatoes, so the casserole would have more juice to it. It was the best I had tasted.

Oklahoma football: Cleveland definitely not the right spot for Bob Stoops
We kept hearing Bob Stoops' name linked with the Cleveland Browns. Kept hearing that Stoops might finally be ready to jump to the NFL.
The NFL? Maybe some day. Maybe even some day soon.
But the Browns? No chance.
In fact, Cleveland is the prime example of what keeps coaches like Stoops on campus.
The Browns returned to life for the 1999 season. The same year Stoops arrived in Oklahoma.
The Browns have fired six coaches during those 15 years: Chris Palmer, Butch Davis, Romeo Crennel, Eric Mangini, Pat Shurmur and Rob Chudzinski.
Chudzinski was fired last week after one year on the job.
The new-age Browns also have had six general managers. They've got a new chief executive officer, Joe Banner, who's been on the job 15 months and has fired two coaches.
The company of the Browns' new owner, Jimmy Haslam, is under federal investigation for rebate irregularities.
Oh yeah, Stoops is going to run to that job. Let's see. Shaky ownership. Quick-trigger leadership. No quarterback. Cold weather. In a division with three franchises that do seem to know what they're doing.
What's not to love about that offer?
Nobody that already has a really good football job is going to Cleveland. And Stoops has a really good football job.
The Sooners aren't back on top of college football, but they're not far off, as we discovered — and maybe he did, too — in New Orleans.
OU has stable leadership; Stoops works for the same two men, president David Boren and athletic director Joe Castiglione, who hired him 15 years ago.
OU is investing in its program. I talked to Stoops a couple of months ago about what was next on his wish list, after the opening of the new dorm, and he really wasn't passionate about anything. There's a faction of boosters that want to modernize the west-side upper deck; new press box, new suites, make it comparable to the east side. Stoops seemed fine either way.
OU's talent isn't where it once was, but it's not where we thought it was. The Sooners stared down Alabama and have a bunch of ballplayers returning.
Stoops has a quarterback, he's got an energized fan base, he's got enough ammunition to say "told you so" all the way to September. He's happy as a bird.
Stoops keeps his options open. Down in New Orleans last Friday, he said, "you never know" concerning the Browns. He also told the Casillas & Company radio show "It's my full intention to be the coach at Oklahoma next year."
I believe him on both counts. I believe he does plan on staying in Norman, and I also believe that you indeed never do know for sure.
OU officials are confident that Stoops is not entertaining NFL offers. The pro rumors could be nothing more than his agent angling for a raise from OU. That's standard practice in a profession that has become quite sordid on the money side.
Stoops is not at a stage of his life where leaving would be ideal. A daughter in high school. Twin sons soon to enter high school.
The NFL interests most football coaches, Stoops included. Also scares most football coaches, too, because of its volatility.
I think it's possible that Stoops answers the siren song some day. Might even be when the Sooners are riding high; I think it would be important to him to leave OU in a good way.
But any franchise that wants to whisk away Stoops from Norman better have solid ownership and proven leadership. A good quarterback and decent weather wouldn't hurt, either.

I'm seeing too many posts on craigslist here in the Austin area saying their saddles are being stolen.
Are there any saddle locks or anything like that out there to prevent a quick allen-wrench theft?
I'm seeing too many posts on craigslist here in the Austin area saying their saddles are being stolen.

Super glue ball bearings in the heads of your allen screws. When you need access to that particular bolt, a little acetone will melt the glue and you can remove the ball bearing.
Pitlock makes a seatpost binder bolt plus a seatpost loop, but you need to have a QR seatpost with flat surfaces on both sides of the clamp.
I never quite followed the ball bearing logic. Why wouldn't a thief be able to use the same method to remove the ball bearing?
They could, but it's better than having no prevention at all.
how many thiefs carry acetone around? If someone wants anything bad enough they will get it, the whole idea behind prevention is to make the job more difficult and time intensive so they don't take the risk. The longer it takes the less likely they will do it.
A cable lock works well, and doesn't prohibit you from changing seat height.
I agree with you that they will get it if they want it and that all we can do is slow them down, but I have simply not been convinced that the bearings are a good enough idea to go out and do it.
its just about making a little harder. there are other saddles that require no effort and they will get those first.
old chain?
I see a lot of seats with old chains locking them to the frames. It's about as likely a thief would have a chainbreak on him as acetone, though.
Yeah, I use a cable lock too. Just weave it through the rails. If your cable is long enough you'll be able to get the back tire too. (there a thread in commuting about this).
Other people use a bike chain PLUS plastic tape (ace hardware has all sorts of colors). Now I know that an idiot could get it off but if you put like 3-4 layers of that stuff on it'll take them all day to remove it. And then if you catch them in the act you can Jean Claude VanDamme their face!
I actually have never tried. I guess I know what i'm doing tomorrow lol
That was probably a fun hour spent just to adjust your seat and stem haha
If it really takes that long seems like a decent idea. You could also get one of those ghetto gel seat covers and put that over it to make it look like a piece of crap
Old chain w/o master link + old tube = seat protector.
Made one for my beater, since it has a Fizik saddle.
Thats the only part worth stealing on the frame.
Since the chain went through the tube, the only way to really take the seat would be to...
1) Loosen the seat post clamp
2) Lower the seat post, to give slack to the chain, to turn it around to expose the chainlinks.
3) Break chain.
a bolt cutter would easily cut through an old chain, and I'm sure plenty of bike thiefs are aware of those
I've been told candle wax dripped into the hole of a hex nut can be used, as well.
The bums will always lose.
Point of the chain method, is a deterrent.
If a bike thief wants something, theyll get it, and have the tools to take it.
Not ALL thiefs carry around heavy duty tools.
Those who take seats simply carry an allen wrench set.
I've used wax on my allen heads and then used a silver paint marker to paint over it. It just looks like a solid round bolt head filled in with solder.
making a theif go through a process which may take another 3-4 minutes MAY be enough for him to not want ur **** that badly
all the bike locks u see on the street EVEN with chains CAN be cut....but obviously there is a difference between walmart chains and the heavy duty kryptonite ones u see....

Funding via Fairtrasa International
Tito has operated his own motorcycle taxi for eight years, but he has been doing this type of work for more than 20 years. Occasionally he buys and sells agricultural products at the city port, an activity that he considers to be very profitable but it requires a significant investment. For this reason, he wants to develop his new business without neglecting his work as a motorcycle taxi driver. This will improve his income for the benefit of his family.
Tito is taking this opportunity to request 3,800 PEN so that he can repair his motorcycle taxi and replace the upholstery. He will also buy agricultural products so that he can continue selling them.
Success!! The loan was 100% repaid

I did quite a bit of shopping around before I switched to Bounce Energy. First off, this site is by far the best one to help you make an informed decision on electric companies. Thanks. Second, I decided on Bounce Energy due to the information you provided, namely low rates, bill credits and the free friends airfare thing. When I called to order, the rep was extremely helpful and nice and she walked me through ordering a fixed rate plan at a lower price than the other plan I originally wanted. I primarily felt compelled to promote them when I got my first bill and it was half of what my previous bills had been from Reliant. Hope it stays that way.
Why Choose Bounce Energy as Your Texas Electricity CompanyWhether you're looking to switch electric companies to lower your bill or shopping for a new provider to power your new home, Bounce Energy has an energy solution that fits your needs. As one of the fastest growing Texas electric companies, we take pride in delivering "more than electricity"... so, why should you choose Bounce Energy? It's simple.

Ok guys, hope anybody has the answer for this one ok?
Anybody by any chance knows the outside cups diameter of the headset that fit a Fondriest P4?? I know i can measure but a guy is selling one and the thing is not close to me so i could try to measure it. SO measure it is not an option.
The P4 and others used a fondriest headset called "Domina System Headset", at least the bottom looks similar to the columbus semi integrated headset, the top part looks like any regular non threadless headset.
Anybody have the bike or know if a regular 1 1/8 chris king headset will fit in there??? Just thinking in the worse case scenario i i buy the frame.

You might say the strange hat — with two dead rattlesnakes around the brim — spoke to Nicole Leslie from the first time she saw it.
Fortunately, it didn't bite her.
Leslie, who owned Vancouver's Old Town Antique Market until it closed a few months ago, first came across the oddity after a dealer put it on display at her store.
For some reason, she found herself drawn to the array of old silver, turquoise, bird feathers and rattlesnakes that adorned the heavy brown felt top hat, which looks like something out of an Old West medicine show.
"I was fascinated by it, and finally (the dealer) had a big sale, and I bought it," Leslie said.
She still loves the unusual treasure, but with the financial issues related to her store closing, she plans to put it up for sale at this weekend's Clark County Antique & Collectibles Show.
"There is a person for this," Leslie said. "Somebody somewhere would just salivate over it. That's the cool thing about the expo. For every item, there's a person that would just love to have it."
The show is part of a traveling antique exposition that comes to the Portland area four times a year — three times to that other side of the Columbia River and once a year to the rolling green hills of Clark County.
The event will feature hundreds of exhibitors from the Pacific Northwest selling a broad selection of items. Visitors can also bring their own items to the show and get a ballpark value estimate from an expert for $5 per item.
"It's a verbal evaluation off the top of our heads and not a written evaluation," said Gary Germer, a Vancouver native and professional appraiser. "But we can give you some parameters for what a thing is worth."
Looking at Leslie's strange hat, Germer said he thinks it was probably put together in the late 1960s or early 1970s and then made to look older.
"My guess is that somebody put it together as a costume or something," Germer said. "It's cool. I could see somebody wearing it in a steampunk show."
Jim Beriault, who does publicity for the event, had another notion.
"If Slash (former lead guitarist of Guns N' Roses) had a girlfriend, she'd definitely wear that," Beriault said.
The silver belts that adorn the hat are old and valuable, and the carved bird on the front is made of real turquoise, Germer said.
"I think about $800 to $1,200 would be where you're at, value-wise," he said.
Leslie said the only thing she knows about the hat's origins is that the man she bought it from found it at an antique shop 20 years ago. She's not even sure what state the dealer purchased it in.
"I've thought about trying to learn more about it, but I'm afraid to take it apart and look at the details on the silver and turquoise," Leslie said. "The silver work is certainly antique."
If it doesn't sell at the show, she'll probably try to sell it at one of the inventory sales she's planning through her Web site at http://www.oldtownantiquemarket.com, Leslie added.
The hat's not even close to the strangest thing Germer has appraised.
"I've done everything from high-end art to bags of dirt," Germer said with an amused smile. "Yes. Dirt. This guy had an organic soil company that went out of business and he donated his last inventory. So I evaluated the dirt."
Sometimes, value turns up in the oddest places, he added.
When working with another local client, the 52-year-old Ridgefield High School graduate found a prize that ended up selling for tens of thousands of dollars.
"It was a woman sorting out her aunt's estate, and the aunt had five of the ugliest figures you ever saw," Germer said. "It was four people and a bear with blood coming out of its mouth. I thought, 'this is really well made — but how can anybody craft something this nice that's also this hideous?'"
The answer seems obvious in retrospect: The Nazis made it.
After some research, Germer found that the set was made by Allach, a ceramics company owned by Heinrich Himmler from 1936-1945. The most rare piece was the growling, sword-wielding porcelain bear, which was a commemorative piece designed to celebrate Finland (forcibly) joining the Axis powers in 1941, Germer said.
"I put them up on our blog site (http://bit.ly/ABZ1wj) and within one day, I had calls from all over the world," Germer said. "And (the niece) was going to pack them up and give them to Goodwill."
Often times the items that are most valuable aren't the obvious ones. Once he went to a client's house to look at a China cabinet, which turned out to be worthless. Sitting next to it, though, were two beer steins worth about $5,000 each, he said.
"That piece that your grandma keeps telling you is worth money isn't, but that weird thing sitting next to it — that might be worth a fortune," Germer said.
Collecting is also somewhat in the eye of the beholder, he said.
Personally, Germer collects a few things that just have sentimental value to him.
"I like things that make me laugh," Germer said. "My favorite is my Betty Boop chalkware and my Liberace Hot Nuts dispenser."
The Betty Boop figure, like most chalkware (which are gypsum or plaster figurines), was made during the Great Depression. He likes it because his daughters, when they were babies, used to hike themselves up next to the table it was on to stare at it, he said.
"How could I ever get rid of it after that?" Germer said.
He also likes Space Needle memorabilia — like his 1960s lighter in the shape of the Seattle tourist attraction.
"I have a friend that collects toilet paper rolls from various manufacturers," Germer said. "They're not used. She just stacks them all around the bathroom."
Leslie will have a sales booth at the show, but she also collects a few strange things that she keeps for herself, including industrial restaurant ware, she said with a laugh.
"I have these huge mixers and things stacked on top of cabinets in my kitchen," Leslie said. "I appreciate beautiful furniture, but also the odd and bizarre things, like the hat. The things that make you just shake your head and say 'wow, somebody thought of that.'"
If you haven't gone to the show yet, you should really check it out, she added.
"It's cheap thrills in this day and age with the economy the way it is," Leslie said. "It's a great place to not only find anything you're looking for but also to find things your customers, friends or family might be looking for."

King James rules supreme.
So yeah, off season time. Commence.
Re: NBA Offseason Thread 2012
I'll miss that old thread, I had 2000 posts in it. :bron3
anyways, lol @ saying Bargs is in an inside presense. They also need to believe in BAYLESS as in can be great if given the chance(and hopefully his injuries stop). They need another defensive stopper as they have enough offense. hell, drafting a replacement for Bargs wouldn't be a bad idea either.
Re: NBA Offseason Thread 2012
Any news on Scott Brooks? He really doesnt deserve to be let go by the Thunder..
Re: NBA Offseason Thread 2012
The Lakers interested in Mo Williams.
Come on Kobe, you know it worked out well for LeBron. :kobe3

Re: NBA Offseason Thread 2012
But to the HEAT!?!?! DAMN YOU!!!!!
Re: NBA Offseason Thread 2012
He's doing it what a lot of those other vets do and go ring-chasing.
Re: NBA Offseason Thread 2012
would have rather signed and traded him rather than lose him for nothing. maybe we could have at least gotten another player in return
Re: NBA Offseason Thread 2012
Miami has nobody to offer.
You think they're gonna S&T Bosh to us?
I wish we could have at least traded Ray for the Heat's 1st round pick but you can't trade FA's after the season ends.

Golden State Warriors Tickets
Golden State Warriors Tickets
The Golden State Warriors were founded in Philadelphia in 1946 and played in a predecessor league to the NBA, the Basketball Association of America, in its first season. The Warriors won the league's initial title on April 22, 1947. The team also claimed the 1955-56 championship before moving to the Bay Area in 1962. The team's third and final title came in the spring of 1975, when the Warriors swept the Washington Bullets in four games. The team has 11 former players in the Hall of Fame, most recently Chris Mullen. He played with the Warriors from 1985-97 and 2000-01. The Warriors currently play at Oracle Arena in Oakland.
Oracle Arena, Home to the Golden State Warriors
Oracle Arena is the largest and oldest NBA facility in the state of California. The 19,596-seat facility opened in 1966 and went through renovations from 1996-97. The arena has been home to the Golden State Warriors since 1966 with the exception of its renovation period and 1966-71. Oracle Arena is adjacent to the Oakland Coliseum, the home of the Oakland Athletics and the Oakland Raiders. Several concerts have also been held here, such as Creedence Clearwater Revival, the Grateful Dead, and Duran Duran. The arena is easily accessible, as Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) has a station just a short walk from the facility.
Golden State Warriors and the Western Conference
The Golden State Warriors face tough competition in the Pacific Division of the Western Conference, which includes teams such as the Los Angeles Lakers, Phoenix Suns, Los Angeles Clippers, and Sacramento Kings. The team has yet to win the division title since its last two in 1975 and 1976. Despite the team winning only two division titles, the Golden State Warriors have won six conference championships. The team's only two NBA championships came in 1956 and 1975.
Golden State Warriors 2012 Team Outlook
The Golden State Warriors may be the most talented team in the West that failed to make the playoffs following the 2011 season, but changes are likely in a line-up where many key pieces are valuable in the open market. Golden State is in the unique position of having three legitimate star players in Monta Ellis, David Lee, and Stephen Curry. Although Lee is still finding his niche and Curry is not likely to be dealt, Ellis could be trade bait to solidify the starting five. Hopefully, Golden State will see the postseason in 2012.

Mercedes is masterful at crafting top-flight luxury sedans, and this latest edition of its flagship sets a new gold standard. The S550, although not as powerful as the super-high performance 518-hp S63 AMG, strikes the perfect balance between power (382 hp), space (109.4 cu. ft. of passenger space vs. 95.8 average for the competition), and relative value (the S63 AMG starts at $127,000).
Throw in the luxury-hotel feeling of the interior -- complete with concierge-like electronic systems -- and it's easy to see why Mercedes still owns this segment.

About PUSHING THE LIMIT
After their one-night fling at a wedding, archaeologist Henrietta "Harry" Markowitz thought she'd never see war hero Matt Stanning again. So when they're paired up to investigate a military plane crash in Iraq, she's not sure if the three-month reunion is serendipitous or cursed. What she does know is this gorgeous man lights her body on fire-and incredible sex is always a welcome distraction. Air Force Sergeant Matt Stanning has been called a hero, but he feels nothing like one when he realizes the sexy blonde in his bed is the widow of his fallen brother-in-arms. Even worse, he actually has to work with her, and she's unearthed evidence that points to a military conspiracy. If they dig deeper, they'll put their lives in danger. If they don't, they'll never know the truth-not only about the mysterious plane crash, but about each other.Read more

Owner admits dogs attacked Edmond neighbor's dachshund
EDMOND — Canines Fergie and Otie are behind bars awaiting a judge's decision that could ultimately cost them their lives. The dogs are accused of attacking a neighbor's dachshund about two weeks ago, leaving it with injuries that required stitches. They are in the Edmond animal shelter on vicious dog complaints with a court hearing set for Thursday. Their owner, Christy Taylor, thinks the dogs are being unjustly targeted because they are part pit bull terrier. "If they weren't part pit bull, I don't believe this would even be an issue," Taylor said. "Some people are letting their fear of the breed get in the way of seeing that these are two lovable family pets." Will Widman, owner of the dachshund, said the case could end up in court and declined to comment further.
'It's pit bull mania'Jim Fish, supervisor of Edmond's animal shelter, said he couldn't comment on the predicament Fergie and Otie are in, but agrees pit bull terriers are singled out as a threat to society. "You say 'pit bull' and people automatically say 'killer,'" Fish said. "It's pit bull mania — if people see a medium size dog with floppy ears they're calling it into us as a vicious dog roaming the streets." In the past, Oklahoma City's animal shelter destroyed unclaimed pit bulls that came into its custody without giving them the opportunity to be considered for adoption, said Katherine English, manager of the Oklahoma City Animal Welfare Department. English said the policy was dominated by peoples' fear of the breed. She said pit bull terriers don't bite more than any other dogs, but it is in their nature to keep fighting until they've dominated their opponent. English, who has been working with animals for 35 years, said before the 1970s pit bull terriers were not popular family pets. They were bred mostly for sport until breeders decided they could make money selling the puppies that weren't considered prime for fighting. Desire for the dogs grew because they were a handsome, hearty, shorthaired breed — qualities that family dog owners were looking for, English said. English said the popularity of the breed ended up being their "kiss of death." When people started to become wary of the dogs, they ended up in shelters with no one willing to adopt them, she said.
Laws vs. pit bullsIn 2007, state Rep. Paul Wesselhoft, R-Moore, tried to pass dog bite legislation that would have pet owners facing up to a year in prison and a minimum $10,000 fine if their dog attacked. While the legislation was not breed specific, Wesselhoft said then it was aimed at curtailing people from owning pit bulls. The initiative failed, but in 2008 lawmakers passed a restriction that kept licensed pit bull breeders from kenneling dogs within 2,500 feet of a school. That law was prompted by the concerns of the Carmelite Sisters of St. Theresa, who oversee a Catholic elementary school near pit bull terrier breeder Kenneth Gonzales' operation south of Oklahoma City. On March 31, Gonzales lost his fight to keep the kennels when the state appeals court sided with the nuns, ruling Gonzales' operation was not grandfathered in under the law because he was not licensed when it was passed. Rush Springs and Del City are among the many cities in Oklahoma that have either discussed or passed ordinances to ban pit bull terriers from their city limits. The cities threw out their ordinances when the Legislature determined breed-specific bans were unfair, but encouraged cities to tighten vicious dog ordinances. Edmond in 2006 revised its animal ordinances and included a section on vicious animals. The ordinance defines a vicious animal as any animal that unprovoked is a threat to people or other animals. An unprovoked animal is one that is not abused, teased or tormented, or protecting its owner's property. Christy Taylor said Otie and Fergie did injure the dachshund when they escaped from their yard. She thinks the dogs may have been protecting her children from the smaller dog that was in its front yard with its owner, Taylor said. Edmond City Attorney Steve Murdock said if deemed vicious, the judge can impose several restrictions rather than euthanizing the animals. The Taylors can be fined up to $500 and required to pay all impound fees. They could be required to confine the dogs to a locked kennel, and muzzle and leash them when out, the ordinance states.

A country in South America, Bolivia has breathtaking scenery, including deserts, jungles, and snow-covered peaks. Bolivia's culture blends American Indian and Spanish influences. Its judicial, or legal, capital is Sucre. However, the president and the legislature are based in La Paz.
- Bolivia - Student Encyclopedia (Ages 11 and up)
The South American republic of Bolivia has great natural wealth, though its location, nestled within two ranges of the Andes, prevents easy access to its riches. Mountains and tropical forests make transportation difficult, and because it is landlocked-meaning that it does not border an ocean-Bolivia has no seacoast for ships. The mountains hold rich deposits of minerals, but they must be mined at altitudes of 13,000 to 15,000 feet (4,000 to 4,550 meters) where physical labor is extremely difficult. Mahogany, rubber, cinchona, and other valuable trees are abundant, but they grow in highly inaccessible tropical rainforests. Area 424,164 square miles (1,098,581 square kilometers).

Seventh Avenue businesses commend police
Published: Tuesday, February 12, 2008 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, February 12, 2008 at 3:46 p.m.
Seventh Avenue business owners and residents sighed a collective sigh of relief Monday night as they commended Hendersonville Police Chief Herbert Blake on his department's increased presence in their neighborhood.
Members of the Historic Seventh Avenue District Inc. met with business owners, residents, Hendersonville City Council members, Chief Blake and members of the Henderson County Sheriff's Office.
"This is not some brainchild of mine," Blake said. "I had officers who were concerned about the area approach me. I have had a couple of the officers concentrate on this area along Seventh Avenue. We are here and people can expect the officers to congregate with them."
Blake, who started work last month as Hendersonville's new police chief, commended the residents and business owners for taking action and encouraged them to continue their efforts.
It was the second meeting called by Seventh Avenue business owners to discuss concerns about drug dealing and other crimes in their area.
In an effort to expand their policing efforts, Blake said he had met with Henderson County Sheriff Rick Davis.
"We want to help the Police Department in any way we can," Henderson County Sheriff's Office Chief Deputy Eddie Watkins said.
"We will do anything we can to assist the Police Department."
Hendersonville Police officer David Carroll is one of the officers who has been policing Seventh Avenue over the past two weeks.
"Chief Blake is community oriented," Carroll said. "I haven't had to make any arrests because my presence here has made people move along and they don't deal drugs in front of an officer."
"Perception is everything," Blake said. "We are getting out of the patrol cars and walking around. The criminal element here doesn't want police here so they will move along. All we ask is that you give us some time and see the changes."

Substitute Belgian endive leaves for the crackers.
Use a cooked rotisserie chicken from the supermarket to make this dish even easier!
Chicken mixture can be prepared in advance. Store in tightly covered container in refrigerator up to 24 hours before using as directed. For best results, spoon onto crackers just before serving.

This is SUCH a great appetizer! I can make this anytime and the whole family loves it for a snack!!
Very good. I made a few and kept restocking tbe tray and had no problems with soggy crackers.
I wanted to say maybe I would make it but there was only yes or no. If you leave the mixture on the crackers to serve, the crackers get soggy after a while so only put on crackers just before serving.

PreparationCombine all the spices with the garlic and oil in a bowl. Evenly rub the chicken breast with the spice mixture. Place in a large re-sealable plastic bag and refrigerate for 1 hour up to overnight for a more intense flavor.
In a cast iron skillet heat over high heat, add enough vegetable oil to coat the bottom of the pan. The pan is ready when it gently smokes. Place chicken in skillet squeeze fresh lime juice over the chicken and let blacken on both sides about 3-4 minutes per side. When done remove from the skillet and let rest, slice into pieces.
In the same skillet, after removing the chicken add the pineapple chunks for just a minute or two over medium heat. Just long enough to allow the pineapple to caramelize.
In a bowl toss the strawberries, cucumber slices, sundried tomatoes and greens. Plate the greens, add the sliced chicken to the top of the greens. Arrange caramelized pineapple around the plate, and sprinkle greens with goat cheese crumbles. A nice raspberry vinaigrette is a great dressing for this salad full of flavor!-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Good Life, Good Food Chef Bud Andersen is a chef consultant for Ben E.

IRVING, Texas -- While some wondered whether Tony Romo's psyche would be broken after his fourth-quarter interception that led to the Dallas Cowboys' loss to the Denver Broncos, teammates and coaches knew better.
"That's one of the greatest traits he has as a player," tight end Jason Witten said of Romo's resiliency. "He's as composed as anyone I've ever been around. Unfortunately, like most good quarterbacks, they found themselves in this situation before. He really doesn't blink at it. I commend him a lot for how he handles himself and makes a lot of plays in this offense. We go as he goes. He has great mental toughness and composure to move forward. A lot of times as professional athletes, you think those are some of the mentally tough people you know. I think he exemplifies it every time he goes out there, every day. This week was no different. He got back in there, took charge and really makes a lot of plays to give us a chance."
Romo was no different as he addressed the media Thursday. He did not even want to talk about whether his 506-yard, five-touchdown performance was the best of his career.
"You want to be able to play games over and over again where you play at a high level," Romo said. "That is the goal."
Perhaps Romo has had too much practice being resilient, but coach Jason Garrett trusts the quarterback will be fine Sunday against the Washington Redskins.
"This league is not easy," Garrett said. "When you break the huddle, there is a good guy across from you and you have to be good, and you have to be your best to have success, and they're going to have success. They get paid, too. That's the old expression. When you're playing the quarterback position, you're going to have good games and you're going to have good plays and you have to build on those, and you're going to have some things that don't go your way and you just have to keep coming. Tony knows that better than anybody else. He's played this position for a long, long time and I think he does that really well, both in the game and from game to game."
The disappointment of the loss to the Broncos is gone. Since Monday, Romo has moved on to the Redskins.
"There are 16 games, and if you don't let it go, it doesn't help the football team win the next game," Romo said. "It always is, 'What you can do from now on?' … You have to take that approach."

Ugh hell.
Why did I sign up for this.
I hate sweat. I actually can't stand it, and not just uncomfortable. It

I also hate the turf. It also hurts.
I know I should suck it up, but would you "suck it up" if I was ripping
skin off? This is unnecessary torture.
I acted like a little ***** last year because
none of you can understand my pain.
It may seem like I am being a little cloyster, but it's true. If I just can't suck it up, it's because it hurts. I will put up with carrying that hunk of **** for a day but I will never deal with that turf voluntarily. Every day I dread coming to morning block because it is just pure pain. I can play soccer, football, anything if I'm forced to but if I'm acting like a little ***** on the field on a hot summer day just know that you've brought this upon yourself.

*sigh* Okay, I signed up for this. But if I'm acting like a brat just know it's because I literally can't take the heat anymore. I could be dressed in four layers, I could be naked, but once I hit my limit you will have to put up with my whining.

Initial Claims Worst In 9 Months; Holiday Volatility Blamed For Surge
For everyone who shrugged off last week's enormous spike in initial jobless claims as "can't be real", the BLS has another "holiday volatility"-blamed statistical anomaly for traders to ignore. Initial claims rose 10k to 379k - dramatically worse than the 336k expectation - and the worst since March. Though the BLS says no states estimated jobless claims last week, they would suggest, ever so humbly, that we ignore this data and focus on the trend of the 4-week moving average. Total benefit rolls also rose to 3 month highs, up 94k to 2.88 million. The piece de resistance - non-seasonally-adjusted initial claims were down 48.2k (against the seasonally-adjusted 10k), yet both are up exactly 13k from a year ago (seems the Sandy-based YoY adjustments are playing havoc).
Lastly, 1,374,031 American on Emergency Unemployment Compensation (ie. extended benefits) - which are about to run out thanks to Congress...
which will implicitly send the unemployment rate plunging....
With even the Fed somewhat challenging the credibility of the official unemployment rate - as labor force participation collapses structurally - the possibility that if Congress does not act by Dec 28th, a further 1.3 million people will lose emergency aid and may be deemed 'out' of the labor force merely exaggerates an already farcical situation. As JPM's Mike Feroli notes, the "official" unemployment rate may drop up to 0.8 percentage points, but it won't mean the economy is any better. Is this the 'excuse' the Fed needs to transition from QE to forward guidance (with the public seeing only a rapidly collapsing unemployment rate as evidence of their success) even as the data that they are so "dependent" on becomes worse than useless?
As we warned in November, the only two charts that matter ahead of Friday's likely distorted nonfarm payrolls report.
First, the labor force participation rate, which plunged from 63.2% to 62.8% - the lowest since 1978!
But more importantly, the number of people not in the labor force exploded by nearly 1 million, or 932,000 to be exact, in just the month of October, to a record 91.5 million Americans! This was the third highest monthly increase in people falling out of the labor force in US history.
At this pace the people out of the labor force will surpass the working Americans in about 4 years.
And if the Congress does not pass the bill to extend emergency aid - set to expire Dec 28th - then up to 1.3 million more people will be added to that list of 91.5 million already our of the labor force (and another 800,000 more to come in further months)...
This has profound implications for the oh-so-important unemployment rate that the Fed is so dependent upon...
JPM's Feroli: One observation that could set an upper bound on thinking about a participation effect is to hypothesize that all 1.3 million EUC claimants exit the labor force after benefits expire in 1Q (again, should Congress allow that to happen). In that case, the unemployment rate would fall by 0.8%-pt, obviously an extreme example. Some of the Fed studies can help to narrow the range of outcomes.
One of the more recent works (Farber and Valletta from the San Francisco Fed) indicates that about a fifth of long-term unemployment is due to extended benefits. With just over 4 million long-term unemployed recently, this would imply that the absence of extended UI benefits could lower the unemployment rate by 0.5%-pt.
This will directly impact the Fed's credibility to manage the economt in a "data-dependent" manner:
JPM's Feroli: Setting aside the normative aspect of whether from a public policy perspective this is a desirable or undesirable outcome, such a fall in the unemployment and participation rates could create some tricky choices for Fed policymakers as they assess the health of the labor market.

NO! It's bullish for gold and the stock market.
So what is the unemployment rate down to now?
What do you want the number to be?
If you think the numbers are dubious now, just wait til the BLS begins to contest the Nov 2014 elections.
If they are publicly announcing something, they are doing the exact opposite in secret. QE is not even close to half of what they have been doing.
"At this pace the people out of the labor force will surpass the working Americans in about 4 years."
Everyone's hearing tell that work is over-rated, and that not working can pay off handsomely, if you can just swallow all your pride. Forget about couch potatos, the US of A is set to become the loafer nation, and the middle class continues to get monkey hammered from above and below. When the .1% have finished executing the massive wealth transfer from the middle class, they just might let this sucker go - as that middle class will shrivel up, and those boys will need to start a new game. Will we let 'em? They do have a lot of guns and bullets and (bought off) 'authority'.
"Everyone's hearing tell that work is over-rated, and that not working can pay off handsomely"
So true. Work just ain't what it used to be. No more job for life, pension, healthcare, paid vacation, paid sick days... All those things built loyalty to an employer. Now it's just money, and damn little of that. It's a race to the bottom, and we're all gonna lose.
Wow, surprised by such a weakness in the number... It's second week in a row unemployment is 60-70K higher than 4 week average just 2 weeks ago. And this is happening just before Christmas holidays.What is going to happen after New Year...
And they blame surge on Holidays when it should have been exactly opposit of that in natural flow of events - I thought hiring is up during Holiday season...
Does not bode well at all. And market? Of course no reaction cause every time it tries to have a natural reaction Kevin Henry hits Buy Market on S&P futures.
Untaper - On
And today is double POMO day too
Don't forget
They are already............seasonal adjusted
Exactly that makes the number disaster
Than again they will always have wheather to blame...
Or they will go for the hole card of blaming Bush.
Santa has his sleigh loaded with pink slips.
With the inventory build up ,and declining disposable incomes, this can only end one
way for businesses to survive.
A pink slip in every stocking! Thanks for making me laugh WC.
The FSA wins again.......
The trendline since August implies that we will be over 400K per month at about the end of the 2014Q1. That will coincide nicely with 0zer0care wallet shock taking down GDP. The really big lies start in 2014Q2 and will continue right up to election.

Unemployment Rate - U6,http://www.portalseven.com/employment/unemployment_rate_u6.jsp
Isn't it February that the bills come due?
I still haven't paid the February 2011 bills. So I will just add the February 2014 bills to the pile. Can't believe these cards still work !
Wait til they don't. Then there's SNAP, and 'going back to college' and living in your (GM) Escalade, if need be. The Food banks and Food kitchens are ramping up for the Holidays also...it's all good...;)
So after the Great Taper. Bad news, must be bad news again ???
Time to unTaper. Ben can't carry Janet across the Threshold.
lol at the excuses for the rise in jobless claims.
these fuckers will come up with every excuse in the book to justify the rise.
every december is the holiday season, so does that mean that every single december, jobless claims r going to rise automatically?
The fed doesn't give a flying fuck about unemployment and Feroli knows it. they are more worried about unemployment in china than they are about it in the usa.
They will choose survival of the banks and global finance over the actual economy every time. Which is unfortunate because the current banking system cannot possibly survive without massive money printing.
Damn, you mean to tell me that all those news reports I watched on teevee telling me how good holiday sales were are full of shit? Who could have thunk it? Soon you will be telling me that Zerocare has a negative impact on job growth too.
Visited a local Macy's yesterday afternoon. The store was empty. Waited 10 minutes before I found a clerk in the shoe department. Still couldn't believe how few people were in the store so close to Christmas. Things are really bad in the real world. You just have to open you eyes and believe what you see.
or in other words...Merry Christmas...
Central Planning is hard. It's hard I tell ya. Can we get a little more cooperation around here - how about it.
It's especially hard because it doesn't work. It's tough covering up this mess - don't you think?
How about the truth? It's not working Ben! It will never work.
Merry Christmas to you 379K pinked slipped this week, and a Very Happy New Year to the 1.3 million about to get deep sixed from EUC.
If you want to see some good numbers, wait for the January SNAP card enrollment figures - new high anyone?
91.5 million Americans! There's about 350 million of us. That's 26.4% give or take. Devastating.

ULAN BATOR, Mongolia -- When Mongolians look north, they see the Russian colossus that controlled them for most of the 20th century. When they look south, they see 1.3 billion Chinese, hereditary adversaries whose booming growth and insatiable appetite for raw materials touch almost everything that happens in the Mongolian economy.
Squeezed between the two giants, Mongolia increasingly has forged relations with "third neighbors," more-distant nations that can offset the influence of Moscow and Beijing. Japan has played the role prominently, becoming Mongolia's largest aid donor, and so have Germany and South Korea.
But foremost among the third neighbors is the United States, the superpower that Mongolians have courted as an aid source and a counterweight to Russia's residual status and China's economic tentacles stretching across the Gobi Desert.
For many of Mongolia's 2.7 million inhabitants, therefore, President Bush's stopover here on Nov. 21, though it lasted only several hours, was a welcome symbol that Washington has bought into the relationship.
For the Bush administration, this country's importance as a friend lies in Iraq, where a contingent of 120 to 150 Mongolian soldiers is deployed. The soldiers' main value has been symbolic -- Mongolia has stuck with the U.S.-led coalition since right after President Saddam Hussein was overthrown, even as other contributing nations pulled out of Iraq. Similarly, a squad of Mongolian artillery trainers has gone to Afghanistan as part of the U.S.-led force there.
The decision to dispatch troops to Iraq also was symbolic of Mongolia's third neighbor policy. Russia and China voiced strong objections and exerted pressure on the government to change its mind, diplomatic sources said. But leaders went ahead anyway, despite the acknowledged necessity of getting along with their two big neighbors and trading partners.
A Mongolian official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the possibility of increased U.S. financial aid was in the back of leaders' minds. Mongolia receives $7.5 million a year in U.S. development projects, about $3 million in wheat donations and some military training. But the main goal, the official said, was to demonstrate Mongolia's desire to be an ally, in keeping with its third neighbor policy.
Some analysts have suggested that Mongolia's broad, flat expanses, along with an abandoned Russian air base, could also be valuable as the Pentagon seeks to position itself for the eventuality of conflict with China. But U.S. bases here would be impractical, because Russia or China would have to grant overflight permission for any U.S. planes coming or going.
As Bush noted during his stop here, Mongolia also has been cited as a model for former Soviet satellites. While some remain stuck in autocracy or instability, Mongolia has transformed over the last 15 years into a working parliamentary democracy.
But the democratic system hit a bump late last month, leading some Mongolians to express fears of instability. The former Communists, the Mongolian People's Revolutionary Party, pulled out of an 18-month-old coalition and rounded up enough votes in the Great Hural, or parliament, to form their own government under the leadership of a former Ulan Bator mayor, M. Enkhbold.
Nyamaa Enkhbold, the new foreign minister, said the MPRP government plans no change in foreign policy, including the tight relationship with the United States.
The new government, in office less than three weeks, has not yet formally decided to replace the contingent of Mongolian soldiers in Iraq when its six-month rotation ends in March, he said. But training has been underway for designated replacements, he added, and their dispatch will likely be approved sometime this month.

hi i just fixed a puncture on my bike and when i pumped it up it had a lump in the back
is there any way to fix this or do i just have to buy a new inner tube??
hi i just fixed a puncture on my bike and when i pumped it up it had a lump in the back
is there any way to fix this or do i just have to buy a new inner tube??
I'm not sure what youre asking.
I dont know about humps in tubes, but if the tire if bulging off the rim that means the bead is not seated correctly, and it will soon explode.
If there is a hump in the tire that means you have a broken tire casing. I would buy a new tire.
If there is tube protruding from the tire from a hole that means youre tire is no good, and your tube will soon explode.
one side of the tube is bulging out and the other part is normal sorry if i wasn't specific. When i put the tube back into the tyre the tube bulges out
Heh, dumb question...
Is it the right size tube?
If yes, I would suggest deflating and re-seating the tube and bead.
it is the rigth size tube and ik pumped up the tube before i put it in the tyre
OK, let me try.
1. Prior to putting the tube into the tire, you pumped it up.
2. When you did, one part developed a bulge.
Sounds like it would be OK, and maybe you pumped it up too much. Or, quite possibly, when unrestrained by the tire, they all do that because some parts are thinner than others.
Many tubes bulge oddly when pumped up outside the tire - guaranteed it will if patched, as the patch keeps the tube in that area from expanding as much. Put it in the tire and don't worry about it if the tire looks even.
ok thanks for the help
Go see your doc and get some penicillinlump in tube

Gustavo was a friendly and flexible host. We also had a late check out which was very helpful. The flat is perfect for a stay in miami and was great be so close to all the action. We were able to walk everywhere and also hired bikes on the lasts day. There is also a in-house laundrette in the flats. I would defo stay again.
Great appartment, located near everything, tks a lot for the nice weekend !
Gustavo was there to greet us when we arrived. Location is perfect, moments away from Lincoln rd and the beach. The apartment is well sized and has anything you could need like coffee machine, toaster, fridge, wifi, etc. It's a bit too bright in the morning for my taste but it means you wake up early for the beach. The building is a little outdated and door to the apartment seems a bit run down but the apartment itself is clean and modern. We had a great time there. An extra star for location.
Hallo Ik voldeed niet aan Gustavo, maar we per e-mail hebben gecommuniceerd en alles was perfect.
Hij liet ons de mogelijkheid om onze koffers te verlaten tot 02:00 die goed voor ons was.
Het appartement is zeer aangenaam en in de buurt van alles.
Volgende keer dat we waarschijnlijk gaan met Gustavo.
Dank u voor uw vertrouwen.
Hi I did not meet Gustavo but we have communicated by email and everything was perfect.

Next time we probably deal with Gustavo.
Thank you for your confidence.
