Speeding up hard disks with DMA
A simple command helps you switch on the afterburner for your hard disks and drives. hdparm improves the performance of your storage devices.
You have a new hard disk, but it still takes ages to copy files? And you get jerky pictures when you play a movie via your DVD drive? How can this be? Many hard disks and other drives – especially if they are a bit older – do not perform as they might. The operating system and the BIOS do not leverage the true potential of the mass storage device's features. Interestingly, enabling or optimizing DMA – an important function – can enormously improve the data throughput for hard disks, CD-ROM, and DVD drives.

Maternity clothes are an important part of your pregnancy. You will need them for six to seven months. Maternity clothes are not just what you wear but also assist in how you feel so you want to be assured that they are stylish and comfortable.
The Bra
One of the most important pieces of maternity clothing will be your maternity bra. Don't be hesitant to invest in a good bra. Your breasts will swell during pregnancy in preparation for breast-feeding. Some women go up as much as three cup sizes. Your main focuses on the bra should be a comfortable fit and breast support. Proper support for your breasts is imperative during this time or they will hurt and can cause you to have back pain. It would be helpful to have someone qualified from any lingerie department to assist you in finding the correct bra size for maximum support.
Mix and Match
The good news is you are no longer restricted to overalls and large collared shirts. The bad news is maternity clothes do tend to be expensive. However, choose the right combinations and it will be well within your budget.
Being able to choose from maternity clothing that is stretchable but has style is always nice. Although, not everyone can go out and buy a whole new wardrobe, consider solid colors and buying new items that match what you wear normally. You'll be able to wear some of your pre-pregnancy clothes as well as shoes and accessories.
Accessories can help you get the most variety out of your wardrobe as well. Try scarves, jewelry, handbags and shoes. This gives you the ability to mix and match, creating more outfits. Don't forget to throw in those jeans. You may find the ones you like to be a bit pricey, but the better they fit the more you'll wear them.
Reveal It
You may notice that many maternity clothing companies are featuring outfits that enhance being pregnant instead of hiding it. Just because you're carrying doesn't mean that you can't be sexy. So accentuate your new curves.
It can be anything from a sleeveless shirt to a short dress or a low-cut top. Looking good means feeling good -- a real help with self-esteem. If your budget doesn't allow for the clothes that catch your eye, invest in just one outfit that makes you feel special. Even if it's a little summer dress it can make you look and feel like a million dollars. Don't forget to wear it as much as possible, celebrate while you can.
Do's and Don'ts
Don't wear restrictive clothing such as tight belts or stockings with elastic bands.
Do wear maternity support pantyhose or stockings.
You don't want anything restrictive around your midsection but you do want to keep the blood flowing, which is the reason for support stockings. Pull them on before getting out of bed in the morning and before blood has a chance to pool in your legs to help minimize the risk of varicose veins.
Don't strut around in stilettos. It's just not the right timing plus that wouldn't be a pretty fall.
Do wear flats or shoes with wide chunky heels. Slip-on's will also be a very helpful as your feet become harder to reach.
Don't wear a long sleeve sweater with nothing underneath during cold weather.
Do layer your clothing. Your metabolic rate increases by about 20 percent when you're pregnant. Even if everyone else is shivering, you might be complaining about the heat. With a layered look, you can peel clothes off as needed.
Have Fun!
Shopping for maternity clothes shouldn't be something you're avoiding. Before you know it you will be showing with nothing to wear. Instead, have fun with it. Attractive clothes are one of your tools for feeling sexy.
Savannah Hernandez and Tabatha Jones, founders of Mommy Appelseed Maternity Clothing, grew up together and have remained close friends ever since. They came up with the idea of starting an online maternity clothes boutique while discussing their decisions to expand our families. Remembering the dull maternity fashions during their first pregnancies compelled them to open an maternity clothes boutique that offered comfortable, sexy maternity clothes without sacrificing style.

Pyongyang Tram is a tram system in Pyongyang, capital of North Korea.
In the pre-war era, there were three tramways in Korea, in Seoul, Busan, and Pyongyang. However, the system in Pyongyang was discontinued after the Korean War of 1950 to 1953. Those in Seoul and Busan survived the war, but were discontinued when motor cars became more common in South Korea in 1968, leaving no tramways on the peninsula.
Unlike South Korea, personal ownership of automobiles in Pyongyang is very rare. North Koreans rely mainly on public transport. As oil imported into the country is mostly allocated to its military, Pyongyang has electrically powered trolleybuses (Pyongyang trolleybus system) and subways (Pyongyang Metro) as its main public transport. However, as trolleybus lines became overcrowded, the city decided to build tram lines. The first line opened in 1991.
In the late 1990s, the city had frequent[dubious ] power outages due to decrepit power stations and the lack of resources. The tram lines also suffered from outages, but the situation improved in recent years. In 2003, however, the section of Line 1 between P'yŏngyang-yŏk and Songsin was closed, as the bridge over Taedong River started to decay.
Foreign tourists were previously not permitted to ride the tram lines, but some recent tours have started to include tramway rides.
In 2008, the City Transportation Company of Prague sold 20 used T3s to Pyongyang Public Transportation Enterprise together with a shipment of tram-rails. These trams were made in late 1970s and the early 1980s. According to Ondřej Pečený, a spokesman for the City Transportation Company of Prague, these trams are in very good condition, and can run for at least two years without the need of a service. The tram cars were made by Tatra, a Czechoslovak company, during that nation's socialist era. Various types are used, but there are currently no low-floor tram cars.
North Korea also has a tramway in Chongjin, which opened in 1999.
There are currently three lines in operation.
- Line 1: P'yŏngyang-yŏk (평양역; 平壤驛) — Man'gyŏngdae (만경대; 萬景臺)
- Line 2: T'osŏng (토성; 土城) — Rangrang (락랑; 樂浪) — Munsu (문수; 紋繡)
- Line 3: Sŏp'yŏngyang (서평양; 西平壤) — Rangrang (락랑; 樂浪)
As of 2006, the fare is ₩ 5 for any section. There are also coupon tickets (시내 차표; 市內車票; sinae ch'ap'yo).
Kŭmsusan Line[edit]
There is another tramway used to take visitors to the Kumsusan Memorial Palace, where late President Kim Il-sung lies in state. The line is completely different from other lines in Pyongyang, and not connected to any of them. The line is free of charge. This tram line uses 1,000 mm (3 ft 3 3⁄8 in) rail gauge, unlike others with 4 ft 8 1⁄2 in (1,435 mm) rail gauge. The tram cars for this line were made in Switzerland.

I'm finally to the point of counting down the weeks left in this third pregnancy. 5 weeks and counting. (Take a stab at guessing when the baby will get here!)
And reality kind of hit over the weekend that I'm not at all prepared for the baby to actually be here. My husband was diligently working on getting George's new big boy bedroom ready for the most part of my pregnancy. Now its ready, and George is moved in to it.
Leaving his old room empty… and ready for baby.
Which means I have nothing holding me back from being prepared for this baby to arrive.
I started with one of the obvious things. I went through all the baby clothes that have been stored in the attic. Remembering as I went through the clothes of how each of the boys both wore them. And wondering if this baby will be a boy and wear them as well.
As the tubs of baby stuff came out of the attic, I couldn't help but feel overwhelmed with the stuff that I had to have ready in time for the baby! I started making a mental checklist, but I'm writing it out now for my own sake, but also for any of you that are adding onto your family too!
My checklist: 12 things to do before the baby arrives!
- Get baby clothes out, washed with Dreft laundry detergent, and put away nicely and neatly (it may be the only time they are organized!). And don't forget receiving blankets, baby bibs, changing table covers and so on!
- A continuation from the previous one, don't just get out newborn clothes, have the next size ready as well, and maybe even the one after that. (For me personally, I have two tubs of 'boy' clothes ready in the next two sizes.)
- Sanitize baby bottles and nipples. (I'm formula feeding, but also applies to pumping supplies.)
- Clean and dust off all the big stuff that we put away after the baby phase, like the swing, bouncy chair, high chair and so on. (Wash what I can in the laundry. A friend, that unfortunately dealt with vomit on a daily basis, has told me that everything comes apart and can be washed!)
- Stock up on baby supplies! Diapers (not just newborn size), wipes (I'll use them for a long time, I might as well have them available), nursing pads… and so on.
- Check baby's medicine cabinet! Its been a while since we've used baby medicine. I gotta check to see if we have baby Tylenol, as well as diaper rash ointment, baby thermometer, and so on.
- Go shopping for baby outfit to come home in. One girl one, one boy one.
- Get presents for baby from both big brothers, and vice versa, have something for the big brothers from the baby!
- Buy a baby memory book and fill it out as much as possible before the baby arrives. And have it with me at the hospital to fill out when the baby does come, when I'm still full of the memories!
- On that note, pack the hospital bag!
- And have the car seat ready too. Is it outdated?
- Get the crib put back together as a crib! (It's currently in its toddler stage.)
As I was throwing the newborn clothes into the laundry, I came across this Halloween onesie that I got for George in two sizes, newborn and 3-6 months. He wore the 3-6 months one, this baby, if its born before Halloween that is, will most definitely be in the newborn outfit! I'm so excited that I have it on hand!
What am I missing? I know there's something big!
What do I need to have done before the baby arrives?
Whether you're a first timer or the greatest, grandest mother of them all, there's one thing moms have agreed on for over 75 years- Dreft makes your little one's fabric feel as clean and soft as can be.
This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Dreft. As a part of this program I received the product, the opinions and text are all mine.

Anthony Eugene McGee (born January 18, 1949) is a former professional American football player who played fourteen seasons in the National Football League (NFL). He played in two Super Bowls for the Washington Redskins. After being dismissed from the University of Wyoming football team as part of the Black 14 in 1969, McGee continued his college football career at Bishop College and was drafted in the third round of the 1971 NFL Draft.
College career[edit]
Tony McGee began his career at the University of Wyoming. In 1969, the team was off to a 4-0 start, ranked #10 in the nation and appeared headed for a fourth straight WAC Conference title. But on October 17, 1969, the day before the game against the BYU Cougars, Tony and 13 other African American players went to coach Lloyd Eaton's office to discuss how they might participate in a protest called by the UW Black Students Alliance of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints tenet which prohibited black men from becoming priests. As soon as Eaton saw them wearing black arm bands he took them into the Memorial Fieldhouse bleachers and immediately informed them they were all off the team because they violated the coach's rule against participating in demonstrations. The rule, obviously unconstitutional, was withdrawn the next week, but the players were not reinstated. After this, Wyoming was not the same. Although the suddenly all-white Cowboys defeated BYU and San Jose State in their last two home games, they lost their last four on the road. In 1970 the Cowboys went 1-9 and Eaton "retired" from coaching. The Cowboys posted only one winning season in the 1970s.[1] Tony then went on to finish his college career out at Bishop College in Dallas, Texas. He was supposed to be a first round pick in the 1971 NFL Draft, however, he fell to the third round because word passed around that he was a trouble maker due to his dismissal from Wyoming and his involvement in the Black 14.

|Mary F. Foskett.
The virginity of Mary has been an influential tenet of Christian belief, a catalyst for Marian devotion, and a foundation for the construction of female Christian piety and practice. In contrast to previous biblical interpreters who have drawn on either linguistic or historical evidence to ponder whether Mary the parthenos is indeed a virgin, in this study Mary F. Foskett takes a different course. Rather than investigating the meaning and implications of the Virgin as a reified symbol, A virgin conceived examines the portrayal of Mary as a virgin in two important early Christian narratives: the canonical Luke-Acts and the second-century Protevangelium of James. Foskett explores the multiple meanings and images that parthenos and virginity display in two sources and describes how they exploit this range of possible meanings in their representations of Mary. Her study departs from earlier biblical interpretation by emphasizing neither the ambiguity of the term parthenos nor the history of tradition concerning Mary. Instead, it displays the multiple meanings of virginity and their implications for understanding representations of the Virgin Mary.

Send in the SES sleuths?; Better-than-nothing buys; Kaplan test prep for recruits?; Tito Puente emergency project legacy
Editor's note: This story was updated at 9:15 a.m. May 26 to reflect that the number of Senior Executive Service employees at intelligence agencies is 594 now and will jump to 644 next year.
Send in the SES sleuths?
Last time the Interceptor checked, the biggest problem with chasing down the bad guys in the GWOT — that's the global war on terrorism — is a lack of intelligence information. That requires agents who can work in foreign lands, blend in with the population and speak the language.
So I'm puzzled as to why the House decided in the 2007 Defense Authorization bill to increase the ranks of Senior Executive Service (SES) employees at intelligence agencies — the Defense Intelligence Agency, the National Security Agency, etc.
It's not like there's a shortage of SESers at those agencies, according to the House Armed Services Committee. The number is 594 today, and it will jump to 644 next year if the House language makes it through conference. I would like someone to enlighten me about what exactly this pride (as in lions) of SESers does to advance the GWOT.
Maybe a special branch of parachute-qualified SESers jumps into the mountains of Pakistan to hunt Osama bin Laden on a monthly, rotating basis.
Better-than-nothing buys
Language in the House's Defense Authorization bill reduces standards for the billions of dollars of stuff the Pentagon acquires every year, said Phil Coyle, who served as the Defense Department's director of operational test and evaluation from 1994 to 2001. Under section 239(b)(2) of the U.S. Code — it's one of my favorite sections — the test and evaluation directorate must determine whether a new tank, plane or information system uses a rigorous testing process to determine if it is suitable for combat.
But that won't be necessary if the 2007 House bill become law. That bill, according to the House Armed Services Committee report, would amend that U.S. Code section to allow military services to field systems that "meet some, but not all…requirements." Allowances would be based on "reasoned decision-making by combatant commanders and acquisition program managers."
Does this mean the Army might consider buying a tank without a reverse gear, or the Air Force a plane with wings just a tad bit short? Coyle said such a language change would remove a check on contractors and could result in the fielding of shoddy equipment.
That change might please some decision-makers. But Coyle said that once the services field the equipment, it would not fool the troops, who evidently have less tolerance for junk than SES program managers.
You can read more about this idea on Page 254 of the committee's report on the Defense Authorization bill. We have a link to the report on FCW.com Download's Data Call at www.fcw.com/download.
Kaplan test prep for recruits?
That seems to be the point of another section of the House Armed Services Committee report, which directs the Pentagon to determine the usefulness of commercially available test preparation guides and education programs to "assist recruit candidates in achieving improved scores on military qualification tests."
The provision looks like a potential winner for the Kaplan school division of the Washington Post, but I wonder if any of the four services want anyone in their ranks who needs such extensive preparation to pass a fairly simple test.
Tito Puente emergency project legacy
The Interceptor has nothing against Latin jazz great Tito Puente, but I wonder how the Tito Puente Legacy Project at Hostos Community College in the Bronx, N.Y., qualifies for $50,000 from the 2006 emergency supplemental bill, which was intended to take care of military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan and hurricane relief and cleanup in the Gulf Coast states.
The answer is simple: Senate pork. It helped raise the price tag of the emergency bill, which is still in conference, by about $14 billion more than the $92.5 billion President Bush requested.
Earmarks in the Senate bill were spread nationwide, including $1 million to the Adelante Development Center, which helps care for disabled people in northern New Mexico, which is where I live. I'm sure Adelante does fine work, but New Mexico is far removed from the hurricane zone. We have droughts instead.
The Pappajohn Higher Education Center in Des Moines, Iowa — another place far removed from hurricanes — picked up $400,000 in the emergency bill. The Oregon Department of Consumer and Business Service One-Stop Permitting Portal picked up $250,000.
I'd like to set up a One-Stop Throw-the-Bums-Out Portal to help eliminate this madness at the expense of taxpayers and defense and hurricane relief projects.

Day of Remembrance News and Pressroom
The National Day of Remembrance for Aborted Children is a joint project of Citizens for a Pro-Life Society, Priests for Life and the Pro-Life Action League. If you are a reporter covering this event, you may wish to contact us for an interview or more information.
The first annual National Day of Remembrance was officially launched with an April 23, 2013 press release [PDF]. The event took place on Saturday, September 14, 2013, and was a great success, with over 100 memorial services held at locations all over the country, including 38 gravesites of aborted children.
A press release will be forthcoming announcing the fourth annual Day of Remembrance, which is scheduled for September 10, 2016. Meanwhile, the following press release—on Day of Remembrance memorial services held in the Chicago area—is representative of the releases issued by local organizers around the country:

National Day of Remembrance memorial services in Chicagoland on Saturday, September 12 shows bodies of aborted babies should be buried, not sold for profit
CHICAGO, September 11, 2015—On Saturday, September 12, memorial services will be held at three burial places of aborted babies as part of the National Day of Remembrance for Aborted Children. This event comes in the wake of series of undercover videos showing top officials at Planned Parenthood, the nation's largest abortion chain, scheming to sell by body parts of aborted babies for profit.
Last month, over 78,000 pro-life citizens turned out for protests at hundreds of Planned Parenthood centers across the country, including 1,600 at the mega-center in Aurora. On September 12, they will respond to the scandal with a different kind of public witness: mourning for the 57 million children lost to abortion since Roe v. Wade and praying for an end to abortion.
Memorial services are planned at over 130 sites from coast to coast, including 40 burial places of aborted children and other memorial sites erected in their honor. Three services will be held at cemeteries in the Chicago suburbs on September 12:
2:00 p.m.—Queen of Heaven Cemetery, 1400 S. Wolf Rd, Hillside

Background: In 1988, Cardinal Joseph Bernadine of the Archdiocese of Chicago officiated at the burial of 2,033 aborted babies retrieved by pro-life activists from the loading dock of the Vital Med laboratory in Northbrook, Illinois.

Background: In the 1980s, the bodies of several children aborted in the second trimester at the University of Wisconsin Hospital were turned over to pro-life activists by a sympathetic employee. Not until 2001 were they finally buried at a solemn ceremony, including remarks by the late Congressman Henry Hyde.
2:00 p.m.—St. Mary Cemetery, 87th St and Hamlin Ave, Evergreen Park
Map: http://goo.gl/maps/iz9rn</p>
Background: In 1987, pro-life activists recovered the bodies of 500 aborted children from the dumpster behind an abortion clinic in downtown Chicago. They were quietly buried in a ceremony presided by Chicago's Cardinal Joseph Bernardine.
"When Planned Parenthood looks at the broken body of an aborted baby, they see a commodity they can exploit for profit. But we see a tiny brother or sister who deserves to be mourned for and solemnly buried," said Eric Scheidler, executive director of the Chicago-based Pro-Life Action League, one of the national organizers of the Day of Remembrance. "Visiting the burial places of these children cuts through all the rhetoric surrounding abortion. How many of these innocent victims must we bury before our society restores legal protection to unborn children?"
The Day of Remembrance is being organized by three national pro-life groups—Citizens for a Pro-Life Society, Priests for Life and the Pro-Life Action League—to humanize the unborn victims of abortion by raising awareness of their burial places. The bodies of tens of thousands of aborted children have been retrieved from trash bins, landfills and other locations and buried at gravesites across the country.
At AbortionMemorials.com, visitors can learn the stories of how many of these children were killed, how they were found, and the details of their burial. The website also lists hundreds of memorial sites dedicated to the victims of abortion throughout the United States.
The first annual National Day of Remembrance for Aborted Children was held in September 2013 to mark the 25th anniversary of the burial of several hundred abortion victims in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Memorial services were held at 38 burial places of abortion victims nationwide, as well as scores of other memorial sites dedicated to these children. Going forward, the Day of Remembrance will be held annually on the second Saturday in September.

About the Sponsors of the Day of Remembrance
The National Day of Remembrance for Aborted Children is being organized by three national pro-life groups:
Monica Miller
Citizens for a Pro-Life Society is an activist pro-life group, informed by Catholic principles of social justice teaching, that organizes projects both on the national and local level to confront the actual practice of abortion, publically promote the sanctity of human life through pickets, demonstrations, rallies, conferences, workshops, non-violent direct action, and educational outreach on the life-issues with the ultimate goal of making abortion illegal and building a culture of life. CPLS is directed by Monica Miller. Visit website.
Fr. Frank Pavone
Priests for Life is a multifaceted ministry under the national directorship of Fr. Frank Pavone that aims to encourage and equip all believers—whether Catholic or not, whether clergy or laity—to bring an end to abortion. This is accomplished through a team of priests and lay leaders who travel to parishes and pro-life events to present educational seminars, conduct strategy sessions, spread the pro-life message in the media, and make sure that Churches have the pro-life information and training they need. Priests for Life gives special emphasis to healing after abortion through its Rachel's Vineyard and Silent No More Awareness Campaign, and also also equips Christians to influence public policy and elect pro-life candidates. Visit website.
Eric Scheidler
The Pro-Life Action League was founded by veteran pro-life leader Joe Scheidler in 1980 to empower pro-lifers to put their convictions into effective, grassroots action in their own neighborhoods through public protest, political action, prayer campaigns and community education. A central focus of the League is pro-life witness at abortuaries, especially through sidewalk counseling. Joe's son Eric Scheidler serves as the League's executive director. Visit website.

Ride will aid officers' survivors
MONTPELIER — Ride4Cops will be rolling through Montpelier on Friday at noon, when organization leaders plan to join Attorney General William Sorrell and Senate President John Campbell at the Statehouse to honor police officers who have died in service to Vermont. The national organization will donate $2,000 to help surviving families. The event will feature Ride4Cops founder Harry Herington's custom memorial motorcycle and a core group of motorcycle riders.
The next day approximately 300 riders will take to the road at 12:30 p.m. from the Rutland police barracks and traveling through Vermont before ending their journey at the Franklin County sheriff's office in St. Albans.
"As a former police officer I know that an officer's biggest concern isn't falling in the line of duty, but what will happen to his or her family if that occurs," Herington said in a news release. Ride4Cops says it donates 100 percent of the money it raises to Concerns of Police Survivors, which provides support to surviving families and co-workers of law enforcement officers killed in the line of duty.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER The Democratic Governors Association has yet to launch a television ad in favor of...

He plays withing the rules of football; last I heard it was a contact sport. Perhaps you should concentrate on watching netball.
And to celebrate an injury to a professional makes you lower in the pecking order than an amoeba.
I suppose it depends on what you mean by decent. If you mean vindictive, overly violent, criminally insane, homicidal, or just plain stupid, I would suspect you are correct. And I see no evidence that he masturbates, but perhaps that was just a mistake you made about yourself on accident.
Anyone that celebrates someone's injury has some serious emotional problems. Go see a psychiatrist for some help!

I have waited for 10 hours for an Xray. Then 6 hours for the next time Xray. And once 5 hours to get a cut stitched.
They are under staffed. And the staff is rude. The nurses do not have on gloves and will go from one person to an other. They talk among themselves about the Doctors and how bad they are and slow. They will go get something from the vending machine, while you are waiting.
I would never go there but my City worker insurance requires it.
So all this money that is being spent on ads as to how good the hospital is should be put into staffing and training. Customer Service should be apart of the training, yes I said Customer Service, because most people do have an option as to where they go.

text: Warriors coach Mark Jackson met with the media on Wednesdayin advance of training camp, which begins on Tuesday. Jackson addressed avariety of subjects.Here is some of what Jackson said:On feeling more pressure this year to win:Jackson: For me, whatever I do theres pressure.Theres always pressure on myself to be better and to be efficient. So I dont Pressure is my mindset. I dont care who Im coaching, the pressure is alwaysgoing to be to win. Certainly we have a better basketball team. I dont runfrom it; I embrace it.On who will start at small forward: HarrisonBarnes, Brandon Rush or Richard Jefferson:Jackson: I really dont know. Ultimately, I thinkyou roll the ball out there. You let those guys decide who starts. At the endof the day, its important it doesnt mean whos the best player, its whatmakes us better as a team. Ill make that decision going forward and watchingthem as a unit. But right now I dont have an answer for you who my startingsmall forward is.On whether the Warriors can still be a running teamwith David Lee at power forward and Andrew Bogut at center:Jackson: I would argue that David Lee is a greatrunner. I would say we have a great rebounder in (Andrew) Bogut and four guys who canrun above average for their position. I would say were better to run becausewere a better rebounding team. Each guy rebounds their position well.I would say running more and when you have the weapons thatwe have offensively, the best way to attack a defense is when theyre not set.Were not going to be a slow-down offensive team.On Andrew Boguts status:Jackson: Hopefully hes ready Day 1. He makes usa better basketball team. Without him, it hurts us. Having one of the top fivecenters certainly makes us better. Thats really not important (if Bogut isntready for the start of training camp Tuesday). In the big picture, we need himwhen were playing for real. If hes healthy come Tuesday, great. Hesworking out and hes doing all the strength and conditioning with the trainerand coaches as he can. Hes getting closer and closer.On the competition at backup center between AndrisBiedrins and Festus Ezeli:Jackson: We will let that play out in trainingcamp. Im impressed with Festus and what hes done since we drafted him. Hesbeen very good in the summer league, very good in workouts. Hes been here allsummer. He works his tail off and gotten better. Hes made a statement by beinghere. That hasnt gone unnoticed.I would certainly love to have Andrew Bogut in the startingfive but I feel comfortable with what Festus can do. Hell have to earn it, buthes done everything Ive asked him to do and he wants it. I dont have toguess whether hes committed to this thing, whether he buys in or whether hessaving some chips. Hes all in. Its good to see because thats what you buildwinning teams around guys that have that attitude.On whether hell be more creative with this yearsteam than he was with last years team:Jackson: I think when you look on the floor, theweapons we have, you dont really have to be creative. Those guys can score. Ifyou look at the great coaches or the great teams, theres nothing creativeabout throwing the ball to Michael Jordan on the foul line or Kobe on the wing Thats not creative. Thats just some bad boys getting it done when it mattersmost.It puts us in a better position because we certainly haveweapons and weve added depth. Now, coming off the bench, theres nodrop-off.We have guys at every position now that on any given nightcan outplay the best in the world. If Klay Thompson gets 25 points on Im notgoing to name anybody its not a shock. If Stephen Curry outplays the bestpoint guard in the world, its not a shock. Same thing with our center, powerforward and whoever our small forward is going to be. We can play with the bestin the world at every position.

Kyoshiro to Towa no Sora - Last Thoughts
That was fast! Yesterday I watched the RAW, and now today I watched the sub for the final episode.
I cannot believe that three months went in the blink of an eye.
Kyoshiro to Towa no Sora was my first pick-up for this year's anime winter season. My other picks for the season include Venus Versus Virus (which is about to end as well next week), Deltora Quest, and Yes! Pretty Cure 5.
The first time I learned about KyoToSora was at Omniscient's blog. He had posted news about Kaishaku's most recent manga adapted into anime to air on January 2007. At the sole mention of Kaishaku, it quickly triggered on me memories of Kannazuki no Miko. Therefore, I built hype with expectation for KyoToSora within me awaiting the first television broadcast.
While the beginning KyoToSora let me down the other episodes that followed started to fill little by little the gaps regarding the storyline. It all culminates with the revelation of Kuu's identity, and as it just seemed that Kyoshiro and Kuu made peace of heart with each other, Kazuya arrived as I have no idea to have ever imagined and rain shards of cruel reality on Kyoshiro. From there on the plot took off and picked on speed, accelerating the story.
At that point KyoToSora completely grasped and built anxiety upon expectation for what was going to happen at the end of one episode to the next one with only a few remaining.
My verdict is that KyoToSora's episode one cannot compare to that of Kannazuki no Miko, which blasted with a bang. However, from Kazuya's arrival to the last scene at the end, the plot thicken and brought focus to the other, supporting characters as well, making a quick but convincing development and growth for Kyoshiro, Sojiro & Taurette, Himiko x Kaon, and Setsuna.
The ending pales slightly below to that of Kannazuki no Miko, because I think it is predictable how things would follow between chibi-Kuu and Kyoshiro from there on. As for Kannazuki no Miko, it captured the tearful reunion of two lovers who ever first met, but they already knew each other from a past life.
For KyoToSora the world was saved at expense of Kuu making her choice to part ways from her loved one in order to teach Kyoshiro that the world despite the ugliness of people it is beautiful after all.
My interpretation about the theme for this series, and is quite campy and cheesy, is that love shines the form which may or not want to choose.
The series clearly focused on the three main characters:
1. Kyoshiro, who spent a decade of his life emulating and copying a bastard brother.
2. Kuu, a shy girl who viewed herself useless and felt not worthy of being needed by others.
3. Setsuna, the tragic maidservant who could never have the love of the person standing by his side no matter how much struggle she put up with.
Fortunately, the chain of events that happened at the last quarter of the series made each of those three to reevaluate themselves, what they have been doing with their existences, and the meaning of their feelings.
At the end, it is this light of love (I apologize for the corniness of the term ), that enables them to accomplish their wishes whether they were or not what they expected.
1. Kyoshiro, became honest with himself and saw who he truly was. He made his decision to choose the path he picked up to travel in order to grow-up into the adult he wished to be.
2. Kuu, became useful to protect the one person she admitted to love, and the achievement was enough to fill her and to fullfill the reason of her existence.
3. Setsuna, acknowledged that the two lovers were meant for each other. She no longer resented Kuu, as she also felt the embrace of Kuu's love for the world. She makes her choice to join Kyoshiro on his travels, because she came to care for both Kuu and Kyoshiro and wants to see them reunited at last. Once the two lovers meet, she'll part ways in order to travel the world and witness by herself the wonders and beauties that Kuu taught her the planet has.
All in all, this series had a wavering start and not helped much that Kyoshiro remained a blockhead, spoiled, copycat prince for nine straight episodes. Thankfully, although I am regretting to say this, Kazuya arrived to set his orgasmic plan in motion, which made all the other characters involved into his mess to snap out, get a reality check, and grow serious to play their roles for the last arc convincingly and believable.
I should that Kyoshiro to Towa no Sora ranks below to Kannazuki no Miko but absolutely way above than Kagihime. I'll give a grade of 78%

The last scene at the end of Kyoshiro to Towa no Sora is comparable as to the last scene that happened at the end of Mahoromatic ~Motto Utsukushii~.
Come to think of it, I forgot to comment about my likeness for the opening song on my last post.
At the beginning, I was reproving of Cross*Heart. The music and the lyrics felt too magical and shoujo -ish for the scope and mood of the series, but it eventually won me over after listening to it for several times.

k...i think the only reason i have been watching this is becausee it has real cute girls and the re incarnated Chikane-Himeko pair as Kaon-Himiko. Pretty much of a let down series i would say. I watched this seeing it was by the Kannazuki Guys..but Kannazuki was way better. Sorry to say..but overall i feel the series rates a 6 in my counter

A nice and fitting ending to this anime - The cheeze with a grain of drama and angst
A somewhat happy "happily ever after"
I was hoping that Kazuya would get to suffer more and die though At least i don't have to listen to his orgasmic antics now that he has been thrown in to a vegetable state ... the animation on his wine strings was terrible though.
I am quite interested in how the whole Kyoshiro x Kuu thing would end, considering that she is about 10 years old now, which would make Kyoshiro somewhere around 27 i guess
Neko brat and Soujiro got the best ending i suppose
Poor Setsuna - she is definitely one of those characters you can't help but feel for - nothing ever goes right for her, no matter how nice and admirable she is. I wonder what she will do after she parts ways with Kyoshiro.
Kaon and Himiko... i said it before and I'll say it again - couldn't have cared less about them. Though seeing Himiko without her foot was unexpected... still didn't care though.
Action scenes completely devoid of "action"
Overall - this one surpassed my expectations, and is a nice entry in romance/drama/angst series, with some adventure and action on top.
7/10 (extra bonus points for my extreme liking towards Setsuna)

wonder y himiko had to lose her foot though.. did she really lose her foot or did she have to use the crutches cos 1 foot was injured? didnt really see that scene properly...
why did it have to take YEARS for Kyoshiro to find Kuu?? or WHY did she have to b reborn and/or be young! how is THAT supposed to work out? a Pedohile relationship??? than by the time she is old enough to b in a proper relationship he'll b old enough to b her sugar daddy!!!!
argh! but cant complain too much ya.... at least they ended up together in the end! kyoshiro looked so dashing with his long hair and new outfit... it was so sweet when the young Kuu looked at him and just knew he was the one for her! the scene where she ran to him! sweeeeeeeeeeet!

I'm happy with that --- its the kind of ending i knew would happen (if you've seen Kannazuki no Miko, then you'll know what i'm on about). It was sweet --- thats just what i wanted. & yay Kazuya didn't die. I wouldn't mind knowing what happens with him, or even how he became that powerful. Though those are matters that are not needed for the series, just something i'd like to know.
Anyway, i'm very happy with this series. It didn't disappoint from the first episode until the end.

While Setsuna could not, but Kyoshiro at the end acknowledged her feelings to him but could not reply them back because he already loves Kuu, however, he was willing to take responsibility for dragging her into his mess and consented her to punish him.
Setsuna, instead, chose to make him company on his quest to find Kuu. After they find chibi-Kuu I would like to speculate that Setsuna started a journey of her own visiting every place around the world.

K: I am sorry Setsuna, I love this 1-year old baby more than you and we will be together once she is older.
S: But I look very adorable and can cook good and bloody hell at least I have similar age like you! (dont worry about my grammar -_-)
K: But I already have fallen into love with Kuu, even if you look better. :S
b1) Father/Mother
How could Kyoshiro love his daughter ...? And with Setsuna as mother shouldnt they be together...?

Eh, the age is not that odd. Many countries have thirty-forty year olds with 10-13 type things. Just means he will die first and she gets his fortune .
And Setsuna, like I said, will go on her own journey to find her love. But I will guess they keep in contact through letters or something. Semi-happy ending considering everyone but Set got their love. But that just means that he was not her love and she needs to find him.

^ yea i want that too...out of all the girls setsuna definatly gets the top spot on my list just for her tragic story...the poor girl didnt even have a chance no matter how hard she tried but still she tried...it doesnt matter to her than kyoshiro doesnt love her but the fact of being next to him is just enough...now that takes a true heart of gold to do :3 ~ problem is that she did say that she will leave him after finding kuu...*sigh*

I have to ask here. How much do you think kuu remember her previous life? If she can remember all things there is no problem. But if she only know kyoshiro is the prince in her dream, and don't remember anything else, it would be a big issue. Kuu's personality may change this time since she is no longer a empty flesh wihout soul as she was in her previous life. If this is the case, they must start from the very beginning, and may not end up together.
I know this speculation can not happen since it is set against the emotion author want to beat into to us. But I just cann't help to think this way. I don't have special hatred to kuu, but I can't endure to see kyoshiro well off. It is not a tragedy to kuu that she can't end up with kyoshiro. She has been reborn, it is her new life so it is not necessary repeat the love from her previous life, she can have new one. I hope kyoshiro search for ten years only find kuu is a new person who is no longer in love with him(AA can change as much as human do ). And I will never give him Setsuna(he doesn't deserves). Make a bad end for kyoshiro.

I'm using Marketpress Lite 2.5.1 and the PayPal Express gateway.
When a user pays by credit card instead of by using a PayPal account, once they are taken back to WordPress to confirm their purchase, Marketpress displays an order summary and then says:
Please confirm your final payment for this order totaling $xx.xx. It will be made via your "<user email address>" PayPal account.
This is very confusing to the user who hasn't got a PayPal account and didn't intend to set one up, and results in some order abandonment.
The statement is hard-coded into the file wp-content/plugins/wordpress-ecommerce/marketpress-includes/plugins-gateway/paypal-express.php on line 301:
$content .= '
' . sprintf(__('Please confirm your final payment for this order totaling %s. It will be made via your "%s" PayPal account.', 'mp'), $mp->format_currency('', $_SESSION['final_amt']), $account_name) . '
';
I did a temporary workaround by using the following line of code, which eliminates the last sentence about the PayPal account on the confirmation page in case anyone else might want to fix it on their site:
$content .= '
' . sprintf(__('Please confirm your final payment for this order totaling %s.', 'mp'), $mp->format_currency('', $_SESSION['final_amt'])) . '
';
It would be great if this could be fixed in a future version.

Hi all,
I'm using the twenty twelve template and currently I have created a page which shows the posts. So as it is now, I have a page called 'News' and this shows all the posts.
Now I want to create more than 1 news page. I want to use a few other pages such as Industry News, Company News, Asia News. I gather that I must create these categories first, but how I adapt the new pages to show only the posts relevant to that category?
Hope this makes sense.

Jan. 7, 1921
Aug. 29, 2008
Alice Janett Alley, 87, died August 29, 2008 at Down East Community Hospital due to complications following a series of strokes. She was born January 7, 1921, the adopted daughter of the late Edward and Delana (Alley) Chambers. Janett grew up on the settlement of Sealand on Head Harbor Island and the Jonesport area. She united in marriage on December 24, 1939 to Raymond Larson Alley in a double ring ceremony. The couple were married for over fifty-four years. One of of the highlights of their happy life spent together was the 50th Golden Wedding Anniversary party held in the couple's honor hosted by their daughter, Aloma, and a close family friend Sharon (Coffin) Look. Their many relatives and friends came to wish them well and extend their congratulations. Janett was employed by the Look family over a period of three generations. She worked at O.W.B.S. Look Co. for many years. She enjoyed many happy days with the Moosabec Senior Citizens Club where she was an active member. Her sterling personality reflected a warm and loving heart that reached out to all who knew her. Janett gained the title of Birthday Cake Nannie by dozens of children who she remembered with a beautiful homemade cake on their special day. Janett was also a longtime member of the Sawyer Memorial Congregational Church. She is survived by her daughter; Aloma A. Alley; a grandson, Jody Alley and his wife, Jennifer; great-granddaughter, Stacy Rose Alley; two step great-grandchildren, Robert and Jessica Peabody; several brothers-in-law, sisters-in-law, nieces and nephews; a longtime special friend, Gerry Look; and special friend, Wayne Faulkingham. Janett was predeceased by her husband, Raymond Larson Alley; son-in-law, Maynard F. Alley; granddaughter, Stacy Lynn Alley; step-father, Newell Kelley; and three brothers-in-laws and two sisters-in-law. Visiting hours will be held from 6:00-8:00 p.m., Tuesday, September 2, 2008 at Sawyer Memorial Congregational Church in Jonesport where a funeral service will be held at 11:00 a.m., Wednesday, Sept. 3 with Pastor George Woodward officiating. Burial will take place at Greenwood Cemetery. Arrangements are under the care of Bragdon-Kelley Funeral Home, Machias. www.bragdonkelley.com

Dark Prince of the Kremlin
Published: May 5, 1996
(Page 2 of 2)
If widespread terror existed at all, then "it existed only between mid-1937 and some point in 1938," Mr. Thurston writes. "At any time during that period," he says confidently, "apprehension toward the state was surely less important than belief in the authorities and their hunt for enemies." He claims that most Soviet secret-police officers, and the country's population as a whole, believed in Stalin and the purges, and that secret-police agents showed a remarkable "concern for evidence" as they arrested millions. Unfortunately, they often got carried away.
Mr. Thurston's work is chock full of new discoveries. Widely accepted estimates made by earlier historians concerning the numbers arrested or shot are "much too high," though he finds the new, lower numbers he offers still "appalling." He accepts an arrest figure for 1937-38 of fewer than 2.5 million, and a figure of some 681,000 for those executed. In every case where there is doubt about numbers of people repressed, Mr. Thurston opts for the lower estimate. He allows that punishments were harsh by "Western standards of justice," but even the fearsome gulag was not always as bad as one might think. Some people survived incarceration and, although it was "ironic and cruel," until 1937 camp guards sold state bonds to inmates: "an indication that they were still regarded as participants in society to some degree." By this curious standard, sheep being led to slaughter are participants in agriculture.
It seems that Soviet judicial authorities were rapidly becoming "more tolerant" on the eve of the purges; arrests were sharply down in 1936, though in the table that Mr. Thurston helpfully provides to illustrate this, the hundreds of thousands of peasants exiled during collectivization mysteriously vanish, as they did in life.
It is no easy thing to prove widespread support for a regime where opinion polls, not to mention elections, were unthinkable and where, even by Mr. Thurston's own count, millions of citizens were unjustly incarcerated or shot. Undaunted, he writes that the Soviet population's resistance against the Nazi invasion of 1941 was the "acid test" of the regime's support. Here he is even more self-contradictory than elsewhere. He argues simultaneously that soldiers in most armies fight for their fellow soldiers and friends, not for abstractions like patriotism or ideology; but Soviet soldiers' willingness to fight somehow demonstrates their belief in the Soviet state.
Although most Russians did fight loyally for Moscow and many no doubt believed in the system, their motives were far more complex, and the evidence less one-sided, than Mr. Thurston would have us believe. Stalin's infamous order of August 1941, holding soldiers' families hostage for their behavior at the front, was both a powerful disincentive for surrendering to the Germans and an implicit admission that this was a widespread problem. Although Mr. Thurston discusses the welcome that some Soviet citizens extended to the German invaders, he explains it away by claiming, wrongly, that such welcomes occurred mostly in areas that had only recently been incorporated into the Soviet Union. He dismisses evidence to the contrary as the product either of cold war exaggeration or of testimony tainted by the ostensibly bourgeois background of eyewitnesses. He ignores entirely the extensive collaboration of many non-Russian ethnic groups, for which Stalin deported several entire nationalities, notably the Chechens, at the end of the war. Voluntary service in the German Army by ethnic Russians and others warrants no mention at all; nor does partisan resistance against the return of the Red Army in 1943-45. And yet these were serious problems. Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn cites a Russian folk saying to explain this: "Well-fed horses don't rampage."
Nazism's murderous racist policies, which became clear very early as word spread through a fluid and permeable front, left Soviet citizens few choices. Stalin may have been bad, but Hitler proved even worse. A secret-police document from the city of Kharkov after its liberation in 1943 reveals many people saying that "what comrade Stalin could not do in 24 years, Hitler did in one."
Mr. Thurston reserves his most preposterous claims for his conclusion. Stalin, he says, "was not guilty of mass first-degree murder." How, then, to explain things like his decision one day in March 1940 to shoot more than 20,000 Polish prisoners -- an atrocity Mr. Thurston does not discuss? It seems that Stalin believed his victims really were enemies. If we were to accept this twisted logic, of course, there could be practically no such thing as murder, since most killers believe their victims deserve their fate.
Finally, it turns out that "Stalin becomes more human than others have portrayed him. And his regime becomes less malevolent but possessed of greater popular support." Even more astonishing, he writes, "Stalinism created the preconditions for perestroika," since it was in the Stalin era that the "roots for reform" first grew. Thus Mikhail Gorbachev's reforms were apparently not a reaction against Stalinist evils, carried out by people determined that such things must never happen again, but rather their ultimate fruit.
Stalin's misrule was not the product solely of his evil wizardry; this view too easily excuses his many willing apprentices, and it underestimates the pathologies of a society that proved all too fertile ground for his brand of hatreds and fear. At the same time, it is absurd to write airily of "popular support" in a system where no free political choices were possible and where the population was subject to an endless drubbing by state-monopolized propaganda. If Stalin's ghost is finally to be exorcised, historians must not play down the malevolence of the system he created. His victims deserve better of us. And those grim-faced Stalinists who still cherish their icons of the Great Leader deserve no aid and comfort.

1998 Land Rover Discovery 50th Anniversary 4dr SUV AWD
We have about 120,000 miles on this car now and it is our favorite drive of the three in the garage (the others are a Jaguar and a Porsche, great cars on their own). Roadholding is exceptional in any weather and terrain (British cars have the best suspensions). Build quality is not perfect and so is reliability, but the design is great, both exterior and interior. Acceleration is slow (very heavy car) but adequate. Fuel economy is antiquated. Great to drive at speed on the highway, to our surprise. Dealer service is exceptional. When maintained well (not cheap), the car should last a long time. As I said, we love it with all its faults. This is an enthusiast's car, not an appliance.
Design, handling, roadholding competence, class, presence on the road, feeling of safety. Amazing in snow.
Fuel economy, reliability, maintenance intensity. There are many reliable but boring automobiles out there which is a different class of vehicles.
Ive taken my Land Rover off road and I
use it as my everyday car. Its a beast,
you just dont get cars built like this
anymore. The only one that comes close
is the Range Rover, and its made by the
same company. This SUV was one of the
greatest financial and fun things I've
ever baught.
The suspension is amazing. I have
jumped this car a few fimes and I still
have the stock suspension and I use it
every day to get to work.
Gas milage can be better, but my 17
year-old son doesn't mind filling it up
2 times a week.
I have driven this vehicle in the
snow, the mountains and the highway.
The Land Rover Discovery is an
exceptional SUV both on and off road.
It handles well, both in poor weather
and on sunny highways. However, I do
think that Land Rover needs to tighten
a few nuts, as the Discovery
experiences leaks every so often.
The seating comfort is the best I have
ever experienced. I have driven many
automobiles, including several BMW's
and feel that Land Rovers is superior.
Tighten the nuts and bolts, as I dread
the thought of a leak on my driveway.
Change the dash layout, to a more
modern level.
I like to think of Land Rover as the SUV
Branch of Jaguar. Both have the best
styling on the road, and both are the
best at what they are DESIGNED to do.
Yes, the Disco is not the most quiet
on-road vehicle, but has anyone driven
in a Ford Explorer lately? Maybe it is
just my experience in about 10,000
different Explorers, but I could not
hear my personal CD player over the wind
noice of the Explorer at 40 mph. I can
only hope Ford will not cheapen the Disco.
As for off-roading, there only two cars
that can compete. The LR Defender, and
the Mercedes G500. They also cost double
the amount and are really ugly.
Dual Sunroofs, impecable visability,
great sound system, pumps heat like no
other, and gives the comfort of the
high-end benz's.
Longer wheelbase (or better used base
inside the existing wheel base) and more
horse power.
Was initially attracted to the LR
because of the styling...which is still
IMHO awesome. Went for the Silver
Anniversary model because of the add.
features. Everything was grand until I
hit 60K miles(just about the time the
warranty was running out, go figure).
In the last 3 months have replaced
among other things a door lock
actuater, transmission linkage, and a
blown head gasket. I can deal with the
small quirks(cup holders, brakes, road
noise,etc.)but the reliability
disappoints me. Sorry, LR...gotta move
This truck just looks cool. Dealer has
been awesome to deal with, I just wish
I didnt have to see them as often. Off
road, this truck goes anywhere.
Reliability....period. I know of no
other vehicle that loses value as
quickly as a Disco. If you buy...you
better buy for life.

Museum Galleries
The Farragut Museum is a treasure chest of artifacts and photographs, which tell the history of the Farragut and Concord communities. One of the highlights of the museum is the Admiral David Glasgow Farragut collection. Admiral Farragut was born in this area on July 5, 1801.
Farragut was the first commissioned admiral of the United States Navy and is best known for his statement, "Damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead." This nationally sought after collection houses artifacts that cannot be seen anywhere else such as Farragut's personal china, uniform ornamentation, family photographs, manuscripts, letters of interest, and a large collection of scrimshaw.
The museum also exhibits artifacts pertaining to the history of local schools, churches, the Farragut and Concord communities, and the Civil War. In addition to the permanent displays, the museum has a gallery dedicated to rotating special exhibits.
Admission to the museum is free.
Memorial Plaza & Civil War Trails MarkerIn 2010, a Civil War Trails Historical Marker was dedicated on the grounds of the Farragut Town Hall to commemorate the Battle of Campbell Station fought on surrounding land on Nov. 16, 1863. Also dedicated in 2010, the Farragut Memorial Plaza features a life-plus sized bronze statue, Civil War era cannons on loan from the U.S. Naval Yard, and historical markers with information about Admiral Farragut's life.
Community Heritage TrailA Capital Investment Program project, the Community Heritage Trail features 11 signs throughout Founders Park at Campbell Station which highlight the historical milestones of the Farragut and Concord areas from the earliest American Indian inhabitants to the founding of the Town of Farragut. The project began as an initiative by Mayor Ralph McGill and was realized by a volunteer group comprised of Farragut Museum committee members as well as community members who worked for more than 18 months researching and compiling information and photos for the signs.
Gift ShopThe Frances L. Abel Gift Shop features a variety of unique items, including gift items; local and Civil War history books; "The Hidden Battlefield" DVDs (WBIR's The Heartland Series); a variety of children's toys; and handmade items from local crafts persons.
A professional museum coordinator, in collaboration with a volunteer committee, is responsible for fundraising, exhibits, and museum and gift shop staffing. In addition, the museum arranges special events throughout the year. Those interested in arranging a group tour or becoming a museum docent or gift shop host should call Julia Barham at (865) 218-3377.
Staff & Volunteers
Upcoming Special Exhibits and Events The Farragut Farmers Exhibit
As late as the early seventies, the Farragut area was a sprawling rural community dotted with beautiful farmlands. This exhibit will feature artifacts related to farming in the area, photographs of barns and landmarks, and information about Farragut Schools and their agricultural background.
Children's Event - Jack's Adventures in American History
Sunday, April 24. 1:30 PM: Museum tours. 2 PM: Play in the Town Hall Board Room.

Audience volunteers help write the Constitution, work on Ford's assembly line and even demand the right to vote.
This free event is ideal for children in grades 2 to 6. Along with the play, kids will enjoy museum tours and a light snack.

You also need to have the home thoroughly inspected by an experienced Manufactured Home inspector and not just any home inspector. There are several nuances about manufactured homes that an inexperienced MH inspector doesn't even know to addresss.

Make sure they check the understructure (crawl space area) to see what kind of condition all the piers and pads are in and if the home is level. They also need to check for rips and tears in the vapor barrier (membrane seperating the ground from the floor and holding the insulation in place.

They also need to look for any signs of drainage issues i.e. standing water, soil erosion, gaping cracks in the soil, etc. Many parks/communities were built in flood plains and have an inherent problem with drainage issues which can lead to instability of the piers and pads and mold issues.

Finally make sure that the home has a Housing and Community Development Department (HCD) approved Earthquake Resistant Bracing System (ERBS) in place as that area is in a zone 4 seismic area and manufacture homes are extremely vulnerable to earthquakes.

If you have any other questions or concerns please do not hesitate to contact us. Even though we do not service your area we would be more than happy to help you at no cost. We have been in the manufactured home business for almost 30 years and are a licensed general and manufactured home contractor, manufactured home dealer and developer and a real estate broker.
Let me know if you would like to see it.

Who Are The Pillow Punchers of Boxing Today?
i have compiled a list based on the boxer's overall knock out percentage
1. Timothy Bradley (12 KOs) - actually rams his head more than his fists
2. Robert Guerrero (18 KOs) - more of an arm puncher and has piss poor stamina
3. Devon Alexander (13 KOs) - has got to be the most feather fisted fighter in the bunch
4. Paulie Malignaggi (7 KOs) - another feather fisted fighter, could not even give a good showing against his last opponent, a natural JWW
5. Miguel Vazquez (13 KOs) - had a hard time in his last fight, debuted as a WW but a current lightweight champion
6. Chad Dawson (17 KOs) - hasn't had a knock out victory since 2007
your thoughts?

I'm not so sure about Alexander. He hit Maidana with some good shots and that uppercut he hit Urango with was HUGE. He is a safety first fighter not a guy that can't punch.

look at margarito, hes not a good puncher at all but bcuz of his style he has alot of KOs. the pace and pressure scores his KO. then you have a guy like hopkins who isnt a big puncher but has above average power but seldom scores KOs bcuz of his safety first style and unwillingness to take risks.
dawson has better than average power too, the reason he doesnt have more KOs is his defensive style and mindset. when dawson is in control he takes his foot off the gas rather than go for the knockout. but there isnt a single fighter he fought who didnt respect for dawsons power.
alexanders power isnt bad either, granted some fighters showed no effect taking his shots but he did knock out urango who is nothing if not durable. i think devon can punch a bit but tends not to sit down on his punches for the most part. rather throw 5-6 quick and flashy punches than 3-4 hard ones.

Waitin' in the Country
That mane of blond locks you see on the cover of this North Carolina native's debut isn't totally misleading—the liveliest tracks on Waitin' in the Country have a rock 'n' roll kick, and the lyrics' internal rhymes occasionally suggest hip-hop. But like Joe Nichols before him, this longhair has an old-fashioned hard-country voice that lends authenticity to everything from party anthems to the grim child-abuse parable (and Top 10 hit) "Alyssa Lies." When Jason gets hold of a killer tune like "Angel of Broken Hearts," it's obvious there's more to this guy than a nice head of hair.
