Once a sustainable summit route has been constructed, Colorado Fourteeners Initiative crews stabilize and restore unplanned, user-created hiking routes that are usually badly eroded and damaging to sensitive native vegetation.Rocks are placed in the trail at regular intervals to stabilize the slope and catch silt-laden runoff. Precious alpine soils—which can take 1,000 years per inch to create—are transported from nearby areas to restore the natural contours of the surrounding slope. Plugs of native plants and grasses are transplanted into the old trail to colonize restoration efforts. The most resilient native plants are used so that they have the greatest chance of surviving the transplant process. Finally, native seeds are dispersed on the closed trail to further the recovery of native plants. Since alpine plants take 10- to 1,000-times longer to regrow than plants growing at lower altitudes, these restoration efforts can take many years before damaged areas are restored to their natural condition.
CFI has developed a series of short educational videos focusing on the alpine ecology of the Fourteener peaks. These videos help explain what is so unique about alpine tundra plants found on these high peaks, what it takes to survive at these high altitudes, and why they are so important to protect and restore. Videos in the series include:

I'm looking to buy a new bicycle in the next month or so (hooray for tax refunds), and I have a question. In my experience, most hardware, no matter what it is, has a price sweet spot beyond which the cost rapidly increases but the additional benefits get less and less. It's often most obvious in computer hardware, where you might get a 0.5TB hard drive for $80, a 1.0TB hard drive for $100, but a 1.5TB hard drive might cost you $200.
Anyway, I'm wondering where this price point sits with bicycles at the moment. I'd be getting something for commuting and recreation (bike paths), either a hardtail or full rigid bike. Probably a hybrid, "city bike", or cyclocross bike. The most I could spend is around $1200. That's not a really hard limit, but I can't go much over.
So what price point (roughly) will I get the most bang for my buck for a new bike? I may go over or under that anyway, but I'd like to get a reference point.

Re: Garden Club Meeting - November 2012
I'm excited to finally be sporting a bronze spade. I reached one month app-free on November 1st. My last app was for the Amex Costco TE card on October 1st. My internal score with Amex must be pretty good now as I received their best terms and did not receive my EX Fico score (boo!). Really wish I lived in PA so I could join PSECU and get my EX Fico monthly. I checked my two FICO scores here at MyFICO today and I am now officially in the "FICO high achievers" club (yayyyy!) as my EQ is 761 and my TU is 790.
I managed to get a SP CLI to $8,000 (an increase of $6,700) on my Cap One Plat Visa. Yes, I know it's Cap One, but it does have a decent interest rate of 12.14%, should I need it, that is. I've had the card for almost 9 years and now that the credit limit is respectable, I'll keep it around.
Looking forward to trying for a 3x CLI on my Amex Optima card later this month. Trying to keep that in my mind while trying not to app for a Walmart card. I don't need a Walmart card, but it is so tempting to get that free TU Fico score every month. Plus, I think they pull TU and I have no inquiries on TU and it's virtually spotless except for 1 30-day late payment.
I must resist temptation!

So here's something that I think would work well as a challenge, or as an extra stipulation for another challenge: No using Pokemon Centers, or depositing then withdrawing Pokemon from PCs (which, of course, heals them). Actually, there could be 3 different levels of difficulty:
Level 1: No depositing Pokemon into PCs (they could still be released, though, or if you really don't want to do that, depositing them into off-limits boxes). You could still catch new Pokemon and withdraw them, fully healed, from the PC.
Level 2: No withdrawing Pokemon from the PC. You could deposit a Pokemon into the PC and catch a new one, but it would be at the same health as when you caught it, and you would immediately need to use some precious healing items.
Level 3: No using the PC at all. Once you have 6 Pokemon, you're stuck with them.
This could be a very good challenge on its own, forcing lots of inventory and risk management, or it could even be added to other challenges to provide additional challenge. Whiting out could either mean you lose the challenge (as you're then forced to use the Pokemon Center), or just take some important money. Any thoughts? I'd be shocked if this hasn't been suggested already, but I couldn't find it anywhere...

Production employees at the former Vought Aircraft plant in North Charleston will vote next month on whether to decertify the election that made them part of the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers, the union said Tuesday.
The Sept. 10 vote be overseen by the National Labor Relations Board, said IAM spokesmen Bob Wood.
"We're going to work hard to educate and inform our members — everybody out at the plant — about what this means," he said. Wood said if the decertification effort succeeds, it would be "very difficult" for the workers to reorganize if they so chose in the future.
The Vought plant was recently sold to Boeing Co. in a deal valued at $1 billion. The factory supplies fuselage section for Boeing's 787 passenger jet.
Boeing has said it would recognize the union and negotiate a new labor contract covering the local IAM workers if the election decertification fails.
Boeing has had strained relations with the IAM over the years, raising concerns in its longtime manufacturing base near Seattle that the company might build a second 787 assembly line in North Charleston. If the local union members choose to disband, that could be viewed as an advantage for South Carolina.
A worker at the former Vought factory requested to decertify the election last month. The vote will be held at the plant off International Boulevard.

That was so sad...
But an excellent work of art.
Usually I don't like clock crew work, but this was one was different.
The graphics were good, and they matched with the music perfectly.
It was truly touching.
That poor guy is going to be so sad when that flower of his dies, though....
It's a big group, alot of us like the concept and just have different styles.
Merry Christmas
This is one of the best clock movies I have ever seen! Very sad story...so did his parents die or something? I had to resist the temptation to laugh at the fact that there's veggies with clocks on their faces, lol, but I really liked this flash. :D good work continuing the clock legacy.
I dident want to make it too sad by saying what happened to his parents. As far as you, the viewer, can tell, his parents dissapeared one Christmas and now he is all alone. They may have died, left him, captured by nazi penguins, who knows.
It's pretty much impossible to make a totally serious clock movie. But I worked with what I had.
Thanks much,
Merry Christmas
That was amazing.
That was easily the best of the the Christmas movies I've seen submitted this year, while also being one of the saddest things I've ever watched. You made me cry like a schoolgirl with a skinned knee... seriously.
I could write a long review, break down each category, and tell you how you did in each one, but I don't need to, because I can sum the whole thing up in two words: "It's perfect."
Fifened, 10/10, faved, and plugged on my blog and elsewhere.
Hey thanks man, glad you enjoyed it.
Merry Christmas
Very well executed
Great artwork and smooth animation, it was a real pleasure to watch.
Merry Christmas
Beautifully done. Your backgrounds were spectacular, the overall production was incredibly clean and smooth, and it even had some good tongue-in-cheek humor. I was surprised at how happy that damn movie made me.
And I'm sorry our communication wasn't better about that campfire smoke. I would have been glad to get that to you.
I tried to make a serious movie, but I don't think I am mentally able to totally exclude humor, heh.
And don't worry about it, I just took the fire animation and gave it a grey tint, worked great.
Merry Christmas

Human Reactions to the Pleistocene-Holocene Transition in Greater Australia: A Summary
O'Connell, James F., Allen, Jim, Antiquity
Introducing the book, we began with the broad pattern of change in human behaviour associated with the end of the last glaciation. This pattern - the 'Archaic' of the New World, 'Mesolithic' of the Old - is often attributed to environmental change, specifically the appearance of modern climates and habitats. Adjustments to a new array of economic opportunities and constraints are seen to have had demographic, technological, social and political implications. In short, environmental change provided the catalyst; major changes in human behaviour resulted. This line of argument, best developed for parts of western Eurasia and the Americas, is widely favoured.
General acceptance of this proposition rests heavily on the gross temporal correlation between environmental and behavioural change. There is no equally general agreement about processes linking these phenomena, even in areas like the Near East where, despite a long history of research and a rich archaeological record, mutually exclusive arguments persist about the ways in which terminal Pleistocene environmental change affected behaviour.
Greater Australia presents an interesting case in this context. Although it sustains essentially the same suite of Pleistocen-Holocene environmental changes, and witnesses the development of many of the same patterns in human behaviour associated with that transition elsewhere, the coincidence in timing between the two is said to be much less close in Australia. Although some Mesolithic, elements appear very early, well before the Last Glacial Maximum, most are seen to be quite late in the Greater Australian sequence, post dating major changes in climate and environment by several millennia. It is for this reason that many Australianists have avoided or down-played environmental explanations. Instead, some argue that changes in social relationships were catalytic, while others appeal to population pressure, and still others cite the impact of exotic technology. Whatever the identified stimulus, adjustments in subsistence economy are said to follow. Local environments simply provide the arena in which the developments take place. Terminal Pleistocene climatic change is, by implication, irrelevant.
Phrased in the simplest terms, this argument has a more general implication. As we said, the conventional 'climate as catalyst' model draws support primarily from the commonly observed correlation between environmental and behavioural change. Because the specific processes involved remain the subject of debate, any significant mismatch between climatic and behavioural change, especially on a scale as large as Greater Australia, draws the entire argument into question. Global mechanisms should have global effects. To the degree these models are challenged anywhere, they are challenged everywhere. It is for this reason that archaeological evidence of human reaction to the transition in Greater Australia deserves a closer look. As we said in the Introduction, the recent literature suggests close links between climatic, environmental, and cultural change in this region. Contributors to this volume find this, and show that - as else where - the precise nature of these relationships is not fully understood.
Here we summarize general points emerging from this volume and identify their implications. We speak first to the pattern of environmental change, then to the evidence for behavioural reactions to it.
Environmental change
Kershaw summarizes the data for Greater Australia as a whole; other contributors provide additional details. In broad terms, climatic and environmental change displays a relatively simple trajectory from Last Glacial Maximum through mid Holocene. At the beginning of this period, sea-levels were about 130 lower than at present; now-submerged areas of Bass and Torres Straits, the Arafura Sea, and the Gulf of Carpentaria were exposed, joining Australia, New Guinea, Tasmania and islands on the continental shelf into a single land-mass covering some 11. …

Focus on the Family's desire to run a pro-life advocacy advertisement during the Super Bowl on February 7 has gained the traditional values group far more publicity than its leadership could ever have imagined.
The online dating service e-Harmony, started 10 years ago to help single men and women find potential life-long mates, has for the second time capitulated to the demands of homosexuals who sued the company for discriminating against those seeking same-sex relationships.
A flurry of new conservative websites, groups, and talk-show hosts have emerged in the wake of failing dominoes: ObamaCare, federal takeovers, bailouts, and stimulus packages. Tea-Partiers represent but a smattering of upstart activists that increasingly feel alienated from old stalwarts of the conservative movement: among them, the Heritage Foundation, American Conservative Union, Conservative Political Action Committee and Americans for Tax Reform, Empower America, and even the old Silent Majority and the Dr. Laura show.
The wife of Republican presidential candidate and U.S. Senator John McCain (R-Ariz.) has joined her daughter in an ad campaign opposing Proposition 8, the 2008 California ballot measure banning same-sex marriage. Cindy McCain followed her daughter's lead by appearing in photos for NOH8 ("No Hate"), a homosexual rights group that is pursuing a campaign to overturn the ban. Like the McCain's daughter Meghan, Mrs. McCain posed for the photos with silver duct tape covering her mouth and "NOH8" painted on her cheek. Officials of the organization said that Mrs. McCain contacted them and offered to pose for photos in support of their campaign.
Tens of thousands of pro-life activists converged on San Francisco on Saturday, January 23, for 6th Annual Walk for Life West Coast, despite heavy storms that had battered the Golden State for the better part of the week and forecasts of more downpours for the day of the event.

"Dabangg" star Sonakshi Sinha tried teaching dance moves to actor Akshay Kumar, but ended up forgetting her own steps.
The "Once Upon Ay Time in Mumbaai Dobaara!" actors recently shot for Colors Eid special "Jashan-E-Eid".
While rehearsing together, Sonakshi tried to teach Akshay his steps and she constantly corrected him when he made mistakes. Though the 26-year-old wanted the act to be perfect, the camera caught her forgetting the same step twice, said a statement.
This amused Akshay who kept pulling her leg after the shoot.

You may want a copy of this book in the form of a planar cellulose information
retrieval system, i.e. a printed book. They make good gifts, and are more familiar
to most of us than electronic copies. But finding a printed copy of a book is
sometimes difficult. This section is intended to give you some help by making it
easy to use the more common ways of searching.
1 The first column consists of links to the home pages of the biggest suppliers of books by mail: Amazon and Barnes & Noble. These two suppliers have mostly new books, and their new book inventory probably has an overlap of something like 90%, but this does not mean that they both have exactly the same price. Both of them also list used books from outside suppliers, and the used book inventories are usually quite different. ABE Books is a loose grouping of some 17,000 independent bookstores that list their inventory in a common database - most of these are used books that vary from just issued best sellers to rare and antique books.
From all three home pages you can do searches, look at comments, check prices of both new and used copies, look at various formats such as hardback, paperback, eBook formats and much more.
2 The second column has links to Barnes & Noble and Amazon pages describing their new eBook Readers. These have become very popular lately as they allow the purchase of new books and textbooks at prices lower than the printed copies, and in a format that many people find attractive.
3 Clicking on the links in the third column sends you to the supplier along with the ISBN (International Standard Book Number) of the book described on this page if we have been able to find that number. Note that an ISBN refers to a specific edition of a book. Thus a single book might have many ISBNs: Hardback edition, softback, large print, foreign language and so on. Usually the book listing on B & N or Amazon will have links to the other editions that are available.
4 Is our ISBN wrong, or perhaps missing all together. Help us out. Search on B&N and Amazon. If you find one, please let us know. Enter the thirteen (Barnes & Noble) or ten (Amazon) digit number (no dashes) in the boxes above and click on the Submit ISBN button. The numbers shown in the boxes are the numbers we have on file, or zero if we haven't found one.

I didn't make this recipe exactly, but I used it as a guideline for a casserole I made using Thanksgiving leftovers. I used green onions and 1/2 sweet onion instead of leeks, chopped spinach instead of peas, gravy and water instead of broth and flour, sweet potatoes instead of white potatoes. It was really tasty and hearty!
Turkey & Leek Shepherd's Pie
From EatingWell: November/December 1996
The mashed potato-covered shepherd's pie was originally created to use up the leftovers from a festive roast. This version blends peas, leeks and carrots with diced turkey, all in a creamy herb sauce. The dish is a perfect way to create a second meal with the holiday turkey but if you like, use leftover roast chicken, duck or goose.
11 Reviews for Turkey & Leek Shepherd's Pie
We made this last night but used sweet potatoes instead, it was amazing ! It was easy to make and the sweet potatoes gave it some extra flavor and vitamins !
does anyone know what a serving of this is?
This was some of the best shepherd's pie I've made! My husband and I stuffed ourselves on it! I used a frozen veggie medley of corn, peas, carrots, and green beans as well as some fresh carrots. I also added grated Gruyère cheese to the top about 5 min before taking it out of the oven and that made the dish! Can't wait to make it again!
Very good! A little labor intensive and I felt like I was dirtying every dish in the house, but it was worth it! Nice sized portions!

Awfull breaking in - Jan 15, 2011
Player: Marcel
These are one of the hardest shoes to break in i´ve had. The synthetic material gives you some stiches, but the most anoying part comes down with the feeling these shoes give you with the ball. The first days they feel very hard and rough, making your ball control pretty difficult. Once they break in they are fine, and really give you some advantajes when it comes to ball shooting, grip and control, nothing spectacular but fair enough. The other bad part comes to durability, the upper material comes appart after some use so they stop being pretty and effective, and in little time after that, the sole separates from the shoe, that event tends to be their final unless you decide to repair them.

Dissapointed - Sep 19, 2009
Player: Vince (Elkhart, IN USA)
This show was great for the first week. than it got very hard for my foot not to get irratated where the F-30 clear thing is in the middle side of the foot. After that all of the outter leather of the shoe completely pealed off. I strongly suggest if your looking for a cheap shoe, dont go for this one.

These are pretty good. - Jun 30, 2009
Player: Cristian (Floral Park, NY USA)
This shoe was pretty good i gotta say. Shooting was very good. I shot better with these then i did with my T90s. Running is great and it feels like any other cleat. The only bad thing is dat after a while the cleats start to rip and it just doesnt look as good as it used to. Overall, these cleats look great and feel great.

Adidas F30.8 - Apr 30, 2009
Player: KAsoccer27 (pittsburgh, Pennsylvania USA)
These are OK. They aren't very light but they pack a nice punch. However, the material isn't very good. I ripped mine in one week and then i got Nike Mercurial Talaria V and i was impressed. Lighter,good touch,nice material. Get Mercurials.

??????Questions - Feb 08, 2009
Player: Lou (Soccer Field)
How do these run, narrow or wide? How is the traction on wet fields, and how is shooting, control, and crossing on wet fields. I've heard they are bad in wet fields so that is why I'm asking. thanks for the help!

A Samuel Johnson Trove Goes to Harvard's Library
Submitted by Dan G. on March 19, 2004 - 2:32am
Anonymous Patron writes "The NYTimes Books Sections Reports on The Houghton Library at Harvard University. They have inherited the Donald and Mary Hyde Collection of material relating to Samuel Johnson. It is one of the world's largest and most comprehensive compilations of 18th-century rare books, manuscripts and personal correspondence."
Permalink Submitted by nbruce (not verified) on March 19, 2004 - 11:48am.
Thank you for noting this. I'm wondering if the collection has letters from Robert Dodsley, my personal favorite, and the publisher who early on recognized Johnson's talent and suggested he compile dictionary and helped finance it. Dodsley wrote "The oeconomy of human life," a life instruction book, which was a best seller for about 100 years.

Port of Vancouver commissioners are expected to reappoint Larry Paulson as the port's top manager Tuesday, with no increases in his annual salary or monthly car allowance.
Commissioner Jerry Oliver said Paulson hasn't asked for a raise, nor does he expect one. "I'm not anticipating any significant changes," Oliver said.
The significant change will come at the end of April. That's when Paulson, who announced last year that he was retiring, will step down. Todd Coleman, Paulson's deputy, will succeed him as executive director of Vancouver's 100-year-old, rail-focused port district.
The executive director position is reviewed annually, Oliver said, and the person who has the job serves at the will of the elected port commissioners.
In fact, it's the only port management position the commissioners are responsible for filling. The executive director makes all of the other staff decisions.
'Housekeeping issue'
Tuesday's expected decision to continue Paulson's employment as port chief "is pretty much a housekeeping issue," Oliver said.
Commissioner Brian Wolfe said he expects commissioners will "start having a conversation pretty soon" about officially moving the port under Coleman's leadership, including deciding how to compensate him in his new job.
For now, Oliver, Wolfe and Commissioner Nancy Baker are expected to approve Paulson's continued employment during their 9:30 a.m. public meeting at the port's headquarters, 3103 N.W. Lower River Road.
As part of the reappointment, com
missioners will set Paulson's annual salary and monthly car allowance for 2012. Commissioners said Paulson's current salary of $170,568 per year and car allowance — $500 per month for business mileage racked up within a 20-mile radius of the port's headquarters — will remain the same.
Paulson has been executive director since 1999. Before that, he served as the port's legal counsel. The change in leadership — with Paulson retiring and Coleman taking the top job — comes at a busy time for the port.
It's building up its rail operations, watching Farwest Steel construct a new facility on land formerly owned by the port, and planning to make room for a new potash export operation run by Australian mining giant BHP Billiton.
Before joining the port, Coleman was a partner in an engineering consulting firm, Coleman & Davido Engineering Consultants, in Estacada, Ore. He also held positions in Oregon companies URS Inc. and Parametrix Inc.
Oliver said April would be the logical time to discuss and decide Coleman's compensation as the port's new chief. But no date has been set, he said.
Oliver said commissioners will use "some benchmarks and guidelines" to decide Coleman's compensation, including national salary data for similar port positions.
Wolfe said a big concern for the port in the months ahead is to make sure Coleman starts his new job "on the right foot."

Kangaroo ham. Rhino pie. Trunk of elephant. Horse's tongue. Domestic life was a trifle off at William Buckland's home. Some visitors to his Oxford, England, house in the early 1800s best remembered his front hallway, lined with the grinning skulls of fossilized monsters. Others recalled the live monkeys swinging around. But no one could forget Buckland's diet. A deeply religious geologist, he held the story of Noah dear, and he ate his way through most of Noah's ark. There were only a few animals he couldn't stomach: "The taste of mole was the most repulsive I knew," Buckland once mused, "until I tasted a bluebottle [fly]."

Runners Help One Another In Wake Of Last Year's Bombing
Among those running the Boston Marathon are three people who met amid the chaos of last year's bombing.
Carol Downing ran in last year's marathon, and was stopped about a half-mile from the finish line. Two of her daughters, Erika and Nicole and her son-in-law Michael were injured in the explosions. Erika had her left leg amputated.
As Carol was searching for her family, she ran across Tim Island, another marathon runner and his wife Patty. The South End couple took Carol in and the three have been close friends ever since.
Their stories are highlighted in the book "If Not for the Perfect Stranger: Heartwarming and Healing Stories of Kindness from the 2013 Boston Marathon."
Carol Downing, runner from Maryland. Two of her daughters, Erika Brannock and Nicole Gross, and her son-in-law Michael Gross, were injured in the explosions on Boylston Street last year.
Tim Island, South End resident who was stopped just before the finish line of last year's Boston Marathon. He is running this year to raise money for the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.
Patty Island, South end resident. She was watching her husband Tim Island run last year's Boston Marathon. She is running this year to raise money for the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.

Topsail Island�s original craft market will be hosting a special pirate-themed event on July 10th. Kids are invited to �Strike Gold� and create a simple pirate coin necklace while families shop for treasures at the market.
Topsail�s Summer Plunder Days, which encourages visitors to �Pillage in the Village,� is the brainchild of Topsail Beach resident Dottie Netherton. Dottie originally developed the craft market as a part of the Town�s 50th anniversary celebration last year, but its popularity ensured that it would continue beyond 2013.
The market features local crafts � and its uniqueness lies in the fact that it is not a �farmer�s market� and does not include produce vendors. The focus is solely on the talents, arts and crafts of local residents.
Dottie has built on the Topsail pirate history, with the familiar pirate logo carrying forward on banners and ads. There is even a treasure chest, where children can collect a piece of eight, to be exchanged for a pirate pencil at the Missiles and More Museum.
The market features more than 20 vendors, who have all been juried and selected for the quality and variety of their work. Some of the many offerings include pottery, intricate scissor-cuttings, handpainted signs, jewelry, leather, soaps, mosaics, copper art, weathervanes, puzzles, tie-dye, stained glass work, tide clocks, hand-carved fish, paintings and, of course, sea glass and shell art.
Visitors can �Pillage in the Village� on Thursdays in June, July and August from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Fridays have been established as a rain date. The market is located at 802 S. Anderson Blvd. in Topsail Beach. Market information can be found on the facebook page: Facebook.com/topsailcrafts.

PETALING JAYA: The search for a new head honcho for RHB Investment Bank Bhd is intensifying, with names such as Credit Suisse's Stephen Hagger, OSK group founder Ong Leong Huat and his son Ong Ju Yan being rumoured as likely candidates.
Industry sources said a new chief executive officer (CEO) was necessary not only as a result of the recently-completed merger of RHB Capital Bhd (RHB Cap) with OSK Investment Bank, but also due to the fact that current RHB Investment officer-in-charge Mike Chan might not want to remain in the driving seat.
It could also be that Chan's position was not meant to be permanent, but a temporary one before a suitable CEO for the investment bank was found, one source pointed out.
Ju Yan is currently an executive director at OSK Ventures International Bhd (OSKVI), as well as the chief operating officer and head of the investment bank at OSK.
According to the OSKVI website, his responsibilities cover various aspects of corporate strategy and he is actively involved in OSK Investment Bank's operating activities, with a focus on investment banking, treasury, institutional equities and research.
"However, Ju Yan, at 33, could be a little too young for the position, and hence, the senior Ong could be appointed as the CEO of the merged entity's investment banking business first to pave the way for Ju Yan later," said the source.
Prior to graduating, Ju Yan had worked for Citibank Malaysia and Morgan Stanley & Co in Hong Kong. In 2001, he started his full-time career with Morgan Stanley in New York in the fixed income department. In September 2002, he relocated to Morgan Stanley's Singapore office, where he was responsible for covering the firm's Asia-Pacific clients for foreign exchange and interest rate products.
He has a BA in Economics from Yale University.
But another source said that there was the possibility of someone from outside RHB or OSK being hired as the merged investment bank's CEO.
Meanwhile, one of the rumoured candidates, Hagger, when contacted, said there was no truth to the rumour which had been ongoing for a few months, and that he was still working at Credit Suisse.
"I am extremely happy working in Credit Suisse and there is no reason for me to leave. Credit Suisse is a dream job to me," he said.
When asked whether he had been approached by RHB Investment Bank, Hagger said he had constantly been approached by parties both domestically and internationally.
"However, I am very happy at Credit Suisse," he repeated.
It is understood that the merged investment bank would be called RHB-OSK Investment Bank.

NORTHFIELD A Northfield man is facing a charge of having sex with a 14-year-old girl.
Justin R. Langlois, 20, pleaded not guilty Thursday to sexual assault of a victim under 16 years old, a felony, in Washington County criminal court in Barre. If convicted, he faces a maximum of 20 years in prison and a $10,000 fine.
According to the Northfield police affidavit, police were told the girl was sexually active with a man. Police said the girl told them Langlois picked up her and another 14-year-old girl from school in his car. The three then went driving on back roads that none of them could remember.
The girl told police Langlois parked the car by a cabin and that the second girl got out of the car and went for a walk, according to the affidavit. Police said the alleged victim told them Langlois asked to have sex with her because he was wanting it so bad and I said yes. The girl told police she and Langlois had sex.
Police also interviewed the other girl and said she told them that after Langlois picked the two girls up he kept asking both to have sex, which she declined.
When police spoke with Langlois, they said, he denied having sex with the girl but did admit picking the two girls up and driving them around.
Langlois told police he thought the girl had a crush on him.
Langlois had been previously investigated on suspicion of inappropriate contact with a female, but no charges were brought.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER Former gubernatorial candidate Dan Feliciano plans to run for state auditor as a...

Panasonic Lumix DMC-LS60 review
I was able to take a single photo in 0.37 seconds and five photos in 13.82 seconds. With the flash turned on there was not a great deal of difference with times of 0.39 seconds for a single photo and 15.18 seconds for five photos. These are average times. Using the camera's internal memory instead of a memory card appeared to slow the camera down.
In this price bracket the Panasonic DMC LS60 is more or less as good as you are likely to find. I could find no major faults with the picture quality and the camera was able to perform well indoors when within the range of the flash unit.

argue with that idiot.Since you want to be so accurate.Thats pathetic and so is this stock.march 8th close was 31.65march 9th 31.65march 10th 31.59march 12th 31.25march 13th 32.25 (up)march 14th 32.05march 15th 30.93march 16th 30.85march 19th 30.15march 20th 29.40 ( anice 5 days in a row and at this point down 7 of 8 days..lol yeah its a great stockmarch 21st 29.91(up) march 22nd 29.06march 23rd 30.15(up) options ex fixmarch 26th 29.53 and right back down.Seven down days out of 8 and STILL no decent recovery..yeah disrupting technology..lol yeah how about disrupting shr price...to longs ports haha its crap buy puts and make some money..
So draw a line from the June IPO at $19.00 to today at $29.53. That's a nice up and to the right line. Disruption is seen over months and years not daily or weekly. Any stock can lose you money on a daily basis.
Don't bother with this guy. He is deliberately being disruptive.Let's just hope he takes out a second mortgage and shorts the crap out of this stock. Maybe then he will learn.
if that makes u feel better then fine.the bottomline is is broke through resistance of 30/31 weeks ago only to fall back under.its down way more than up and to be down on a day like yesterday when the averages were hitting highs???its not good.You say its taking a break??? great stocks that the street wants take breaks for a few days if that..not a few weeks!!!Someone said a double??? i see an ipo at 19 and a shr price of 29???? Not to mention its given back over 50% of its high which a GREAT stock doesnt do and if it does...its met with huge buying and driven back up.This pulled back to mid 20's for a high @40??? and is still 29.The last break above 30/31 should have firmly put it in the 34/36 range at a min..especially in this market and it didnt???? I think its junk and i will shut up as soon as it gets back AND CAN HOLD 33/34/35... OTHER THAN THAT I LOVE MY PUTS.Some mention long term..lol if your tech stock isnt near its highs in THIS MARKET...you dead when the market corrects..this pig will be 19/20 all over agin and youll have zip to show for it in one of the best years ever.hell you only have 10 pts from the ipo and falling..great job..haha
How many stocks do you have in your portfolio that have doubled in the last 52 weeks....Let FIO take a breather if she wants; she deserves it, especially with a 100% return on our investment...
lol actually its 19 to 29..lol thats not 100% this pig already gave OVER HALF back and is trending down.I bought cmi ffiv mako in jan and all have done better and i bough amzn at the end of feb and that is flying as well and should be in this market.This is a joke.If its 29 at market highs where the hell do you think its going when the market corrects???think about it.It should be 41/42 with a 50 target and when the market corrects should come down to 29/30/31 but its ALREADY here in a BOOMING market???Your done buddy

And Then There Was One
Naughton, Keith, Newsweek
Byline: Keith Naughton; With Caitlin McDevitt and Temma Ehrenfeld
Distilling the Big Three into a single player could save Detroit.
So this is how it ends for Detroit? After more than a century of putting the world on wheels, the American auto industry collapses amid squabbling over clueless CEOs and their private jets? Not necessarily. There is another way forward: the Big Three could become the Big One.
The notion of three powerful U.S. automakers is already an anachronism. These companies are husks of the mighty institutions that once ruled the
road. Now they control less than half the U.S. auto market and will lose a combined $30 billion this year. Collectively they are burning through nearly $6 billion a month, and General Motors and Chrysler warn that by the end of the year they'll be broke. They'll head back to Washington this week (ideally by car pool) to beg for a bailout.
But Detroit actually has parts worth saving. Melding them into a single entity could buff up its best brands, like Chevy, Ford and Cadillac, while leaving the clunkers (Pontiac, Mercury, Saturn, et al.) by the side of the road. It would take a healthy dose of Nietzsche's "creative destruction," but that's preferable to total destruction, especially when you're talking about an industry that supports 2.5 million jobs. Other major American industries have undertaken calamitous consolidations to survive. Why should Detroit be spared from market forces?
Sure, there are obstacles: a powerful union, fiercely independent dealers and a complex network of suppliers. Simply binding together three overwrought enterprises is likely to make matters worse. But there is a way forward. Chrysler, the weakest player, could fall, leaving two survivors. GM and Ford could eventually end up together by choice or force of bankruptcy. Ultimately, though, even GM Vice Chairman Bob Lutz, who warns that letting Detroit die will trigger "economic Armageddon," can see the power of One. "It would not solve today's problems," he told NEWSWEEK. "But long-term, with growing global competition and Chinese producers flexing their muscles, there will definitely be further industry consolidation."
Detroit might find a road map in other iconic American industries: aerospace and steel. After the Berlin Wall came down in 1989 and the end of the Cold War led to shrinking defense contracts, America's aviation companies began falling into one another's arms. Boeing grabbed up all U.S. civil-aircraft business, acquiring its chief domestic rival McDonnell Douglas in 1997. That allowed Boeing to take on the true competition: Europe's Airbus. A lone American automaker could also finally focus on its real rivals--Toyota and the rest. …

Dodge Nitro Reviews
Dodge Nitro Reviews and Owner Comments
2007 Dodge Nitro R/T....Paid 28K cash Great car? Whaaaaaat? I bought my Nitro the introductory year 2007, biggest mistake I have ever made. How many recalls issued on this vehicle in 4 frickin' years? 12? How is it not considered a lemon? I brought my car to the dealership for an oil change and some recall repairs...They replaced the wiper motors and resealed the roof rack....4 weeks later the engine blew.....The filter they put on the car was defective plus there was no gasket when then ruptured filter was removed. They replaced the engine under warranty, that was good....However, I had to return the car 4 times becuz while in operation, the engine would quit and the electrical system would fail...No power steering and no brakes, great in a Chicago winter. This all becuz of bad computers, 4 of them. Then the wipers failed with their new motors....The roof rack seal is not only gone, but the rack is cracked in 3 places....I don't use it!!!!!!!! I have three windows I cannot lower becuz the motors have failed, the drivers side door handle has broken, the emergency brake engages in cold weather and etc, etc......So many problems with this car, I have returned to the dealership multiple times for repairs, only to have the issue arise again....The Nitro was a piece of JUNK!!!!!!! I paid cash and wish I could afford to get rid of it now....I seriously hate this car and it's worth nothing at trade in....Less than 3 years after buying the car, it was only worth 5k at the dealership....Dodge knew they built a POS!!!!!! Why only run it 4 years???
I need help I live in Costa Rica one day coming back home I Park my dodge Nitro 2008 , 2.8 cc Diesel and surprise fire from the Engine... My problems I can't get replacement parts in Costa Rica I have been looking for 4 months and nada used or new parts, the engine still work but I need to replace every thing Buster, alternator, censors, fan, belts all plastic components. Please If you where can I go let me know Use or new email@example.com
I relly like my nitro.i bought it new in 2008.it has 107,000 miles on it but only replaced the water pump& battery.
Do not waste your money on this car! On several occasions while driving down busy roads going 40 to 50 mph the car has just lost all power. The lights remain on but the car was not running thankfully I was close to turning lane to coast out of way of traffic. On another occasion getting off the interstate merging into traffic the car just wouldn't go, the only way I can decide it is like it thru it self in reverse while going 50mph. Everytime I take it to dodge dealer they can not find a problen. The car is a death trap! Now we are having a problem with it not wanting to start, has new battery but it still has to be jumped off to get it started. The 2011 dodge nitro Is a horrible car, it may look nice which is why I bought it, but it drives horrible and it's a death trap!
we have a 2008 dodge nitro. in the summer with the airconditioning running and we come to a sudden stop from say 40mph the trany goes to neutral and dont go back into gear until we out itn park then back into drive. recently we have another problem. when we use the key fob to remotely open the car, the horn beebs irregularly (without any rythem like the panic does) the windshield wipers and fluid sprays and again with no rythem and short bursts, and the lights will flash sperradically. I read this also happens in the dodge caravan. some times the transmision will drive in the tow mode and not change to high gear turning around 3500rpm just to go 50mph.
I have had my Nitro since 2007 and absolutely hate it. The engine light has a mind of its own. Goes on and off and can't seem to find the problem. Luggage racks started coming off after warranty was up and of course they are over $250 for new ones. Make horrible noise when going down road. Driver's door handle broke. Wipers are horrible and have to replace blades constantly. Dealer told me seats would not stain. That is a laugh. They look horrible and you cannot get it out. Paid for and will keep and run into ground as I do not want to give these problems to someone else. DO NOT BUY!!!!!!!
This is really been a great cardio only issue that I have noticed is the one report that I have put on here recently about the fan belt when the car is idleing will turn on and it will make this horrible noise.. It makes me wonder what is grinding against and if it is going to cause further damage aside from that I find that the car is very roomy very unique style.. It is very comfortable and the four wheel drive great. I have never had any issues with mine I travel for my job consistentlyand have to take passengers with me.We can comfortably fit five people and all of our luggage in the back with no prob. I have a 2010 dodge nitro and would give it a four point fivestars unless I have to put alot of funds out on a serpentine belt.noise Only happened recently while ideling one day?
I have had my Nitro 2007 for a year in feb.The drivers seat is manual but the adjustment piece to raise or lower the seat has broken into many pieces. Also when i put the 4 wheel driver on and try to disingauge back to 2 wheel i have a grinding sound for days. My engine light stays on for weeks then just goes off. My seats are stained with blue and orange marker that i can not remove. Thank you for your time.Yours ,May Lookadoo p.s.low head lights dont seem to be bright enough. Again thanks for your time.
This is THE worse vehicle I hace ever owned! I have had nothing but problems since the day I drove it off the lot!! It seems that if it wasn't the brakes it was the wipers (the blades need to be replaced ever 2 - 3 months because they skip so badly) or the check engine light stays on. It's always something. Now that it's paid for I'll keep it but I'll definitelt discourage anyone from buying a Nitro. BUT, if you do decide to buy a Nitro, beware, the dealership will tell you that the seats have some sort of stainproofing that covers the seats and allows you to just wipe stains away. That's not true, your seats will stain even worse, and nothing will get the stains out.
I hear a humming sound for one month. Sounds like its coming from the front of the car. The sound occurs while driving. It gets a little loud with faster speed. The sound stops while at rest. What could be causing this problem. I have recently had a tune-up and fuel injection cleaning. Did not solve the problem.
I own an auto repair business and my sister owns a 2008 Dodge Nitro SXT. I perform all of the serivice work but I have noticed some odd problems that I have rarely seen on other vehicles. I have replaced both calipers due to binding and not releasing before 80K miles. She has 80K on the original spark plugs, but I'm going to change them tomorrow. The tire pressure monitor likes to turn on the light when very cold outside and the pressures are good. Otherwise, she loves it. I personally am not a fan of the vehicle and would have suggested something that gets better mpg.
Have had my Nitro for two years and have put 47000 miles on it ,have only replaced spark plugs,runs great People approach me all the time and ask me what kind of auto it is and that it is very sharp looking Overall I am very happy with my Nitro
The problem is I cant figure out how to get it out of Anti theft mode!?!?!?!
Vehicle purchased for commute and hauling occasional trailers (boat, seados, motorcycle, lawn mower etc.). Hauling works great, however, transmission is a bit clunky requiring some pushing to get the vehicle to downshift for passing. Brake components are already needing replacement - oddest one is brake calipers wearing down faster than expected. Odd failures include two stereo head unit failures and cruise control failure by this point in 3 years of ownership. Note: no handles for entering or exiting SUV from front seats but having handles for back seats seems odd too. Cabin noise was expected when purchased but makes vehicle virtually obsolete in the current vehicle market. Steering is a bit loose but again expected - a commuter vehicle not a sport SUV. Truck based so the ride is rough - expected but given new competition again vehicle obsolete. Body styling decent but cheap interior offsets any impression from the exterior. Stock tires last 60000 miles so there is a plus. And for towing the solid rear axle does outstanding - though for larger trailers the sway is annoying even with a sway control bar. Overall a decent versatile SUV for those who need to tow but can't afford a nicer truck/SUV.

Skip to comments.At Least One Voter Thought Chris Christie Was Too Fat: Mitt Romney
Posted on 11/01/2013 10:37:54 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet
According to excerpts from the book Double Down, Mitt Romney seriously considered choosing New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie as his 2012 running mate. But he didn't, in part because Christie is overweight. Cool leadership, Mitt.
The Washington Post got an early copy of the book, and notes several not-very-subtle ways in which the Romney camp made an issue of Christie's weight. For example, according to the Post, Romney's VP vetters engaged in the age-old tradition of blowing their work way out of proportion by pretending it was a high-level intelligence operation. But, man, did they do a lame job of it.
Project Goldfish, as his vetting team called its operation, was so secretive that researchers referred to the five finalists by aquatic names New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (Pufferfish), former Minnesota governor Tim Pawlenty (Lakefish), Sen. Rob Portman of Ohio (Filet-O-Fish), Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida (Pescado) and Rep. Paul Ryan of Wisconsin (Fishconsin).
Yeah, great code names, guys. First of all: "Fishconsin" is not a fish. It is barely a code name. Why not "Paulfish?" Second of all, naming the Latino candidate "Pescado" seems
iffy. And, third: poor ol' Pufferfish. Do you get it; Christie is heavy. If any random American voter had overheard the vetting team using those code names at a Shoney's last June, they would have guessed at least two of those three....
(Excerpt) Read more at news.yahoo.com ...
I think Christie's too leftist and appeasing of leftists — does tyranny make his ass look big?
I heard Romney didn't pick him because he thought he was too ultraconservative.
Willard & Tub o'Guts. Two reasons to have voted third-party in 2012.
It would have been classic if he did. First time in history a VP would be holding hands with the opposing presidential candidate. (Imagine the headlines: Romney VP Backs Obama)
I seriously thought this was satire. I clicked to check it. Unbelievable.
Neither should concern themselves with politics anymore IMO.
Especially the Pufferfish and Filet-O-Fish! LOL
If a man doesn't have the willpower to take care of his own body, I don't expect him to be very diligent in running a country.
At least with Chris Christie as his running mate there would never have been any point in even getting your hopes up for a Romney win last year- it would have been known from the word go that anyone remotely resembling an actual conservative would just stay home.
Maybe that is why Obama didn't choose Princess Hillary.
I'm not saying I like Christie, but I think I would have voted for Jabba the Hut before the skinny a** in the White House.
So after that, the New Jersey Blowfish, Oh, I mean Puffball the Phish, decided to seek revenge for being passed over. I bring you the Hurricane Sandy Torpedo Whale! More bedtime stories for Mitts grandchildren to doze off to.
If Christie were doing poppers, coke and who knows what else like someone who shall remain nameless, maybe he'd be skinny too.
Christie gave a bland speech at the GOP Convention.
All 300 of them?
Gotta hand it to him. Mitt Romney excells at making two things; money and babies. A good Mormon knows how to multiply. A not so good MORMON like one Harry Reid only knows how to divide.
Could it be that both were too far left and trying to please the Media instead of their constituents? Ah, does not matter as all of these type of politicians will lie their ass off to get the vote so who to vote for now?
That's just common sense, putting the country first. Unfortunately, many conservatives have a check list. If every condition is not met, they will stay home and not vote.
Lib's are not like that. They will support the person with the (D) behind the name, period. And that's why there will be no more Republican presidents.
That's just common sense, putting the country first. Unfortunately, many conservatives have a check list. If every condition is not met, they will stay home and not vote.

You are right on all points.
"A picture is worth ten thousand words.."
Based on Christie's history, I don't think he would have accepted the VP nomination.
Probably less cruel than the truth, which is that picking Chrissy Bacala would have touched off an open mutiny in the party. But whatever works.
Oh, Fishconsin isn't a real fish.
Imposer of RomneyCARE AND gay marriage, Mr. Romney
also hated women (Gov. Palin), senators (Sen. Thompson),
small biz owners (Mr. Cain) and the reps (the Speaker).
Mr. Romney was all about HIMSELF,
and helping Obama and Romney's partner, Soros.
Everyone knows that I'm no Christie fan, but in hind sight, Paul Ryan was not the junk yard dog needed in a VP. Christie would have done better on the debate and would have given Obama a tongue lashing regarding Katrina instead of an ass kissing. I think Christie may have brought in more votes and maybe made it closer.
So, we have the REAL Mitt Romney showing. A neo-leftist Republican. Chris Christie is NOT who we need in higher office!
Well one thing Romney claimed to be for, was for hiring Americans.
I am not disappointed Romney lost.
But we really, really need American jobs. A lot of them.
Or perhaps it is his gravity well which attracts leftists.
It's to be noted that the last true fat-a*$ President or Vice President (or even nominee to the best of my recollection) was Taft, well before the age of TV. A lot of people might question whether a man that can't govern himself can govern the nation. And many more are just so superficial that it's unlikely they'd vote for a lard boy, a gross old bag (Hi Hilly!) or sadly, a dude with a mustache.
Of course if Myth had chosen Pizza the Hutt as his running mate then presumably Pizza wouldn't have quasi-endorsed Obama during that hurricane bull****.
