Audi RS Q3 review
Audi Q3 RS is the first crossover from Audi to get the RS badge
Audi's RS Q3 is pretty unique in the market as it combines the blistering performance commonly associated with a hot hatchback and the style and practicalities of an SUV crossover.
Launched in 2013, the RS Q3 attracted just under 500 sales in 12 months – but in line with the Q3, Audi gave the hot SUV a visual facelift and power upgrade in 2014.
Changes were limited to the front-end – new lights and a '3D-effect Singleframe grille' – and rear-end – bumpers and taillights – while the throaty 2.5-litre five-cylinder engine was boosted from 306bhp to 335bhp. Thanks to the power upgrade and improved shift times of the seven-speed S tronic gearbox, the benchmark 0-62mph time dropped to 4.8 seconds, while combined fuel economy was also bumped up to 32.8mpg while CO2 emissions dropped to 203g/km.
With figures like that, it's fair to say that performance is brisk. But the lofty driving position, large boot and plenty of space for four means that the RS Q3 has an extra dose of practicality compared to hot hatch rivals.
Our choice: Audi RS Q3
Engines, performance and drive
At first it seems a little strange to climb up into an Audi fitted with the RS brand's trademark flat-bottomed steering wheel. The Q3's slightly bus-like tilted wheel angle and high-mounted seat feel at odds with such a racy looking cabin.
However, the lofty perch means excellent visibility and it doesn't take long to establish that this is a rather special Q3. For a start, it's powered by the same warbling 2.5-litre five-cylinder as the TT RS and previous-generation RS3. With 335bhp in the Q3, this engine gives 450Nm of torque from just 1,500rpm – and it matches the performance of the Mercedes GLA 45 AMG.
The low-down torque and sharp throttle response meant the Q3 felt really rapid on the road. Fortunately, despite its raised body, it has the handling composure to deal with this kind of performance.
The quattro all-wheel drive means traction is unsurprisingly good, but it's the immense cornering grip that's the real surprise. Elsewhere, lowered and stiffened suspension helps to provide good body control, plus the handling is surprisingly engaging and the Q3's compact dimensions mean it's agile when tackling corners.
The steering lacks feel, but you can adjust the weighting via the Audi Drive Select system. Despite not being available with adaptive dampers, the Q3 doesn't ride badly, although the big wheels crash over rough surfaces and upset low-speed comfort. There's also a fair amount of tyre roar on the motorway. This aside, it's hard not to really enjoy the RS Q3 driving experience.
MPG, CO2 and running costs
Audi claims 32.8mpg for the RS Q3, thanks to its stop-start system. That's pretty impressive given the size of the engine and the performance on tap. That said, if you do explore the upper reaches of the engine's range – and the sound it makes at full chat will encourage you to – fuel economy drops dramatically, and so will the longer-term cost of replacing brake pads, tyres and other consumables.
The Q3 is expensive to buy, but its residual value after three years or 60,000 miles is 52 per cent – second only to the Porsche Cayman.
Superb residuals are a big plus for private buyers and, along with fixed-price servicing, help to make the RS Q3 an attractive buy. However, company car drivers face hefty tax bills – a high price tag and emissions of 203g/km mean high costs.
Interior, design and technology
The Q3 is the first Audi Q model to get the racy RS treatment, and features a strange mix of sensible crossover and glitzy performance car styling cues. Riding on 20-inch wheels and sitting 25mm lower than a standard Q3, this model gets the full sporty Audi makeover, with chunky bumpers, a big air intake, matt aluminium finish mirrors and a oval exhaust pipe.
The end result won't suit all tastes, as the trademark RS Audi design cues look somewhat at odds with the shrunken SUV shape and proportions. Still, there's no denying that the RS Q3 attracts plenty of attention when you're on the road.
There are lots of high-quality materials in the Q3 and the usual upmarket feel you'd expect in an Audi, so the interior is far less likely to divide opinion. Still, the sporty theme continues with RS dials, embossed sports seats, aluminium inlays and a racy flat-bottomed wheel. Plus, the information screen gets added functions like turbo boost pressure, oil temperature and a lap timer – not your usual premium crossover stuff.
Few people will be disappointed with the top-quality cabin, but as one of the older models in the Audi range, the dash and navigation screen are dated compared to newer models like the A3. Still, the extra badging and a more aggressive look ensure everyone knows you're in a performance car.
Practicality, comfort and boot space
The Q3's SUV looks are misleading, because it has the shortest wheelbase, so the interior isn't that big. However, there's still enough room to carry four adults in comfort.
The 356-litre boot is decent, though, and folding the rear seats expands the available space to 1,261 litres. There's an optional through-load hatch, but the seats don't lie flat so it's not as practical as most of the class-leading small SUVs.
Image 3 of 20
Although its suspension is 25mm lower than a regular Q3, the RS still has a high enough ride height to make it very easy to get in and out of, and to load the boot.
The Q3 does have quite a large transmission tunnel, so that compromises passenger room in the middle rear seat, but four adults could easily undertake a long journey in plenty of comfort.
Reliability and Safety
Audi is well known for building high-quality products and the Q3 doesn't feel like an exception to that rule. Audi finished in 12th place the Auto Express Driver Power poll.
Although it's one of Audi's older models, the Q3 still feels well built and engineered. Plus, the five-cylinder engine and quattro drivetrain are proven in other Audis.
The standard Q3 achieved a five-star Euro NCAP crash test rating, and has lots of safety kit. The options list includes everything from a Speed Limit Display to Active Lane Assist – a handy feature which maintains the car's position in its lane. And on the RS, Audi has included xenons, eight-piston ventilated brakes, parking sensors and an electric parking brake as standard.

The only problem is choosing which one to play/finish first. With so many to choose from, playing one while neglecting the others can cause unneeded jealously among the members. To help me decide, I'll enlist the help of the few people I know I can trust...you, my last remaining and loyal 1up reader! It's simple, really. I list off the game and a brief description of it, and you tell me whether or not it is worth finishing! Let's do this like I've never done it before:
Wild Arms (RPG) - I never actually completed this game. I apologize to those who've played it and are huge fans of the series, but I just never really had the time...until now! From the looks of it, it is the same thing that Wild Arms 3 was except older, but maybe there's something you can tell me that I don't already know...
Thousand Arms (RPG) - From what I know, it's the exact same thing as Wild Arms, except there's "thousands" of something within the game (human arms or guns, I would suspect). Right now, it's just collecting thousands of dust particles.
Suikoden II (RPG) - Kind of the same situation as above, except for the fact that I just got the game. It cost me a pretty hefty price, but I still haven't popped it in. Any nerd out there feeling like persuading someone with their vast knowledge?
Pokemon Pearl (RPG-wannabe) - Actually, I have been playing this game pretty extensively...but you cannot ever TRULY beat a Pokemon game until you've either caught them all or (my alternative) create a team that is virtually unbeatable without being a cheap son of a bitch. Kat "Crimson-Hrist," for instance, has completed such a feat, as she successfully pwn3d my ass on the DS Wi-Fi (and has wasted no time GLOATING about it). Either I continue my training, or leave it cold turkey like every other addicting drug except caffeine. YOU DECIDE!
Fatal Fury: Mark of the Wolves (Fighting) - Beating a fighting game is easy, but mastering it is not. It's just a real bitch to accomplish! The game is pretty simple in terms of moves and controls, but deep in that each character has a unique style that takes getting used to. The only exception is the emo/goth dude in the game, but nobody likes him anyway!
Silhouette Mirage (Shooting/Adventure) - A Treasure game? And I haven't completed it?! I'm ashamed of myself, to be honest, as one should be for not going out of their way to play awesomely weird games like Silhouette Mirage. At the same time, I totally lost the save file I had for it. By the way, for those of you who don't know what the game is, it is the spiritual predecessor to Mischief Makers, except this is "BAM BAM" instead of "SHAKE SHAKE."
There you have it! A list of perfectly good games to occupy the precious few weeks of summer I have left. Sure, a lot of them are fairly old games that I should have beaten ages ago. Then again, I could always just add more to the pile and buy Persona 3. Word on the street is that it kicks ass!
Beyond that, I'll be spending the rest of the time going to movies and riffing on them for my own amusement and the delight of those who decide to go to the movies with me. The only problem is that the summer is running out of good movies to watch. The Simpsons is coming out, but I'm kind of worried as to whether or not it will be worth the time and money. They haven't been funny for over six years, so I can't help but be a little skeptical! Guess I will have to get started on that daunting DAT test booklet...
So what else is there to talk about? Oh yeah! E3 came and went with virtually nothing I have interest in other than Super Smash Bros. Brawl's release date. I mean, yeah, they had Halo 3 and all the other heavy hitters, but we already knew those were coming out! There was almost nothing new to talk about other than updates for games that should already be released.
As for the hardcore Sony crowd, I feel sorry for them. All the hype for Metal Gear Solid 4 and all they get is a cinematic cutscene involving over-the-top river dancing of scantily clad men (with big swords) and a bunch of soldiers having a seizure over how fucking bizarre the story & dialogue are going to be. After all is said and done, the holiday season is looking out to be a battle between Microsoft and Nintendo for king of the hill, with Microsoft the most likely monetary victor because they have Master Chief's following to bring home the bacon.
That's it! Nothing else to say! Go read something else!
Mr. Bucket has river danced out of the building.

Good TripodI got delivered this tripod in one day. Nice job by Flipkart. Coming to the Tripod, its nice, sturdy, easy to handle. I use this with Nikon D5100. This tripod suffices anybody who wants to shoot with kit lens and telephoto zoom lens. The best part about this tripod is it can be stretched upto 80 degrees, which would be very helpful to capture from ground level. The only con is the tripod doesnt come with a decent manual, though one is included, deciphering it requires some time, but though not complicated.

I keep reading some of these mocks, where in FA you have us taking:
Shawne Merriman
Logan Mankins
Marcus McNeil
Jahri Evans etc
and the bottom line is, with no new CBA in place and an uncapped year in front of us, it ain't happening people. Heck, we'll likely re-sign our own RFA's this yera in Baas, Brookes and Hudson for depth.
The only "big name" guys I really see going are the older (30+) vets that are going to be commanding HUGE salries next year, Terrell Ownes, Julius Peppers and for the $ they'd want, I'd steer well clear to be perfectly honest and continue to develop our young team here.
I just don't see many teams really splashing the cash on players and if people are pinning their hopes on getting 2-3 legit starters in Free Agency then they need to smell the coffee.
2010 will be all about the draft for many teams. So many GM's/HC's jobs could be on the line if this draft goes tits up and Scotty Mac must be high up on that list, we need to hit in the A grades this year, anything else will almost certainly be a failure in my eyes.
We know we can win this division and we know that with addressing the needs in certain areas, we will do it.
So, if we can get starting;
Guys to spell/cover/situational:
RB - scat back, vary it up from Pounders of Gore and Coffee
we'll go a long, long way in this draft.
We also need to stop drafting projects, be it drafting QB's to be WR/RB's or OC's that never suit up. Drsfting for need can be a Dangerous thing, but fact is, we need to fill these needs this year because we can win our division, we can make post season and then who knows......
Now, Just Do it Scotty.

Here it is 13 yrs later and they have started garnishing my wages, mind you that the car was priced at $8,000 and now the car would only be worth $2,053, but they are trying to garnish my wages for $23,379.39. How is this possible? Im not denying that I owe for the car, but $23,379 is insane. I was never served a summon for this debt, I had to go to talk to payroll to get a copy of the summons. How can they garnish with me being notified about it first? Honestly, I cant afford to have my check garnished $311 a month. Please do not deal with this company, they are rude, dishonest and disrespectful.

They must have gotten a judgement against you...
AUTHOR: MovingForward - (USA)
SUBMITTED: Tuesday, March 27, 2012POSTED: Tuesday, March 27, 2012
Your Mother going to the dealership to talk about lemon laws would not have helped your issue anyway. Lemon laws do not apply to used vehicles. It's possible she is/was unaware that discussing lemon laws with the dealership would not take care of the problem. (However, this is your issue and your puzzle to solve. It's unfortunate she didn't know what to do at the time.)
In the meantime, it is apparent that the note holder filed a lawsuit against you and received a default judgement. Now they are excercising their right to garnish your paycheck to repay the debt. First look up the judgement you have against you. It will be in your county's public records. Then pull the court case to see what happened and when it was filed.
The reason the amount is so high is because the judgement continues to accrue interest from the date it was issued and it sounds like it was issued a long time ago. (based on your post)
If in fact you were never served, then you might be able to vacate the judgement. Look up the statutes in your state to see what you need to do to vacate this judgement. You probably need an attorney to assist you with vacating this judgement.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

What is it? The Joint Knowledge Development and Distribution Capability (JKDDC) is the individual Joint training pillar of the DoD Training Transformation (T2) initiative; it complements the T2 collective training initiative known as the Joint National Training Capability (JNTC). It provides relevant, timely, and global access to Joint knowledge, across the Joint learning continuum. The JKDDC leverages existing service training programs and adds Joint context to individual training. JKDDC interaction will span a service members' career and prepare them to support combatant commanders. Active and Reserve service members will share, collaborate, and learn in a realistic Joint context with other Services and Joint battle staffs. The advantage of incorporating Joint context throughout ones' training is the intuitive infusion of Joint knowledge capabilities by leaders where and when needed on the battlefields of today and into the future.
What has the Army done?
What efforts does the Army plan to continue in the future? The Army JKDDC supports TRADOC's Campaign Plan by leveraging the emerging Centers of Excellence (CoE) and Proponent Training Institutions that already develop training that complements a Soldier's operational experience. JKDDC will build on existing training and education to deliver Joint knowledge that integrates Joint context into service training venues to support life-long Joint learning. This capitalizes on the capabilities and expertise of the Services, and enables an accredited JKDDC process to ensure the training is timely, relevant, and synchronized within the Services.
Why is this important to the Army? Army JKDDC will build Joint context into individual training, deliver it at the right place and time, and use the right delivery venue e.g. institutional, functional, mobile training teams, or distributed learning (dL). It will leverage other services' joint knowledge content thus avoiding redundant spending on common joint training requirements. Army JKDDC will be agile enough to support emerging training strategies or requirements, e.g. the Joint Center for International Security Force Assistance (JCISFA) training for Transition Teams (TT) in OIF and OEF. The strategy centers on the Army's TRADOC and subordinate CoEs, in collaboration with the JKDDC JMO, to incorporate necessary Joint, Inter-governmental, Inter-agency, Multi-national (JIIM) context into training.

A late goal from Fernando Torres spared Chelsea considerable embarrassment as they were forced to twice come from a goal down to draw 2-2 away at League One Brentford in the fourth round of the FA Cup.
The cup holders were poor for large swathes of the first meeting of these London sides since 1950, and went behind twice following mistakes from Ross Turnbull as Marcello Trotta thumped home a fine volley after the ball was parried into his path and Harry Forrester converted from the penalty spot following a foul from the Chelsea keeper.
With the hated interim manager Rafa Benitez contemplating the most humiliating result of his brief reign in charge, Oscar first rescued Chelsea with a gorgeous individual effort after 55 minutes, before Torres struck a second equaliser with seven minutes remaining to enjoy a redemptive moment, both for himself and his team.
But the story of the afternoon was a brilliant performance from Brentford, who will now reap the financial rewards of a replay at Stamford Bridge, even if they were unable to topple the cup holders for another cup shock.
Millwall, MK Dons and, most famously, non-league Luton Town had all disposed of Premier League opposition in a fine weekend for the south east's lower league contingent, but seeking to avoid similar humiliation Chelsea were reinforced by the return of captain John Terry, making his first start since suffering a knee injury in November.
Terry certainly looked rusty after 12 minutes when his rushed back pass to Ross Turnbull went wide of the goalkeeper, forcing him to grab it with his hands and concede an indirect free-kick inside the box. Chelsea's massed ranks charged out when the ball was rolled to Forrester and he lifted his effort high and wide.
Outfought in midfield, where their tiny playmakers wilted on a rough, sandy surface against Brentford's more muscular protagonists, Chelsea's first-half display bordered on the inept, with individual errors littering their performance. Gary Cahill's use of the ball was particularly careless, while remarkably a scuffed effort from Oscar was the sum of their efforts in attack.
By contrast, Brentford's superior energy and ambition allowed the League One side to put their Premier League opponents under unexpectedly prolonged pressure. Shaleum Logan and Forrester combined to particularly good effect down the left, with the former teeing up Adam Forshaw for a nice curling effort and the latter having a number of chances for himself.
Indeed, it was from the boot of Forrester that Brentford forced another Chelsea error when scoring the opening goal after 42 minutes. Frank Lampard was culpable in the build-up when losing possession 20 yards from goal and when Turnbull parried Forrester's shot unconvincingly into the path of Trotta, the Italian striker thumped his volley home on the rebound.
After the half-time whistle sounded, Juan Mata was receiving tactical instructions from Benitez even before he reached the tunnel, and the Spaniard was introduced for the second period in the place of Marko Marin, who had disappeared from view in a game that was completely unsuited to his technical, tidy skill-set.
Mata's introduction saw Oscar pushed to the right of the midfield three behind Torres, but it was from a central position where the Brazilian added another goal of extreme technical quality to his slowly growing collection this season.
It was not quite as spectacular as his efforts against Juventus and Shakhtar Donetsk in the Champions League, but Oscar still produced a tidy bit of control on the edge of the box, beat Tony Craig with a fine bit of skill and then found the net with the outside of his boot.
Oscar looked to have given Chelsea the platform to take the game away from inferior opposition, but with Demba Ba curiously remaining on the bench in a game that would have played to his strengths rather than those of Torres, the holders found themselves a goal down once again after 73 minutes.
Tom Adeyemi, just on as a substitute, was sent tumbling by the rash charge of Turnbull to give Brentford a penalty. Forrester's connection wasn't entirely clean but he did just enough to poke the ball under the arm of Turnbull, whose afternoon grew ever worse.
Following a desperate goalmouth scramble, Benitez did make a change but instead of bringing on the prolific Ba, it was Cesar Azpilicueta who came on to replace Ivanovic at right-back. Ba's introduction came three minutes later as he replaced Ryan Bertrand following a glaring headed miss. The striker quickly made an impact.
Torres chested a high ball into the path of Ba and he managed to return the favour with a poked pass as he was brought to ground. The pitch had opened up for Torres on the edge of the box and he curled a lovely finish out of the reach of Simon Moore.
Chelsea could have had a penalty in injury time when Mata's cross struck the arm of Harlee Dean but a defeat would have been unbearably harsh on a Brentford team who in truth merited a place in the fifth round of the cup.
Harry Forrester (Brentford): He assisted the first and scored the second and was a constant threat to Chelsea from the left wing.

Siege of Goorumconda
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Siege of Goorumconda (15 September – 25 December 1791) was a series of conflicts fought at Goorumconda, a hill fort northeast of Bangalore, during the Third Anglo-Mysore War. An army of the Nizam of Hyderabad, assisted by British East India Company forces, successfully captured the outer works of the town on 20 November, after one month's siege. Following this, the British troops, which had stormed the works, turned the town over to a detachment of the Nizam's troops. These were surprised and slaughtered by a detachment of Mysorean troops led by Tipu Sultan's son on 20 November, who resupplied the fort. The works were again captured by the British on 25 December.

Artists turn Fond du Lac Ave. into their canvas
In 1842, Johnsons Park was a farm where escaped slave Caroline Quarlls stayed, marking the start of the Underground Railroad in the area. A century after that pocket of the city harbored slaves seeking freedom, and a generation after homes in the neighborhood were razed to make way for a freeway, dislocation remains an ongoing issue for many living and working in and around a swath of Fond du Lac Ave., according to the organizers of a community-driven, yearlong public art project.
The public art initiative along 20 blocks of Fond du Lac Ave., between N. 17th and 37th streets, is designed to help Milwaukeeans rediscover this once vital artery and its history while engaging with artists and each other. »Read Full Article

Hi folks,
I'm using WordPress for a long time now. A few days ago I upgraded to Thelonious. Almost immediately I was flooded with SPAM comments (about 100 a day). You must know, I have a rather small blog, and through the years I had constantly very few SPAM comments (maybe 1 in two weeks).
My question is: Do other WP users experience the same since their upgrade?
Just my thoughts.

When the Ryan White Care Act was passed 25 years ago, Congress was responding to a national health emergency that was overwhelming our Nation, particularly hospitals and health clinics in large urban areas. People were dying because there were no effective long lasting treatments and the only option was just AZT. Emergency funding was needed to help pay for hospital beds, doctors and nurses, drugs, hospice care, and the city and state public health systems that were struggling to respond to the epidemic.

What advancements in the treatment of HIV/AIDS should be celebrated during the anniversary of the Ryan White Care Act?

With National Nurses Week concluding recently, I'm proud of the contribution my fellow nurses on the front lines do for the communities in which they serve each and every day. Our health care system is stronger because of nurses who continuously put the patient first.
As a nurse, I've found one of the most rewarding aspects of my profession and chosen path is the ability to advocate for patients not just at the bedside, but also at the policy table. Nurses are in the unique and privileged position of caring for patients holistically: before, after, and during treatment. This approach can be extended to the lawmaking process, where a nurse's voice is valuable in communicating how new policy or regulatory proposals would impact not only the health care system but patients themselves, and their families.
Like I do on every National Nurses Day, I pause and reflect. So much has changed in the past 33 years since the day was officially recognized and is celebrated by millions every year. Yet so much remains the same. Nurses are at the heart of caring for patients and their families. According to the annual Gallup Survey, nurses are the most trusted profession. They are integral partners in care coordination.
How did you celebrate the important role nurses play in health care during National Nurses Week?
The most important thing for a potential clinical trial volunteer to know about clinical research is how invaluable a contribution it is to participate.
Recruiting volunteers to participate in clinical trials is a well-known and enduring obstacle to research progress, and the effect is staggering: 85 percent of trials across all diseases face delays and 30 percent never even get off the ground due to low enrollment. And Parkinson's disease (PD) trials are no exception – fewer than 10 percent of Parkinson's patients participate.

Just like notebook and desktop computers, many business-class output devices feature upgradeable memory. When you check printer specifications on a manufacturer's website or in a product review, you'll see listings for standard and maximum memory capacity. These monochrome and color laser printers offer performance advantages as their memory increases, but unless you're certain that you're buying reliable RAM, you might be wasting your money. Finding high-quality printer memory becomes easier if you know what to buy and how to buy it.
Unlike inkjet printers, which draw on the memory of a host computer to process their output, laser printers include built-in memory that speeds processing and accommodates large print jobs. If you only print word-processing documents with no graphical content, or small desktop publishing projects with limited page counts, you may not need as much printer memory as an office that routinely prints large catalogs or abundant product sell sheets. When multiple users target the same printer, however, its workload increases just as if it were processing complex documents. Adding printer memory can limit the amount of time you spend waiting for the progress bar on your screen to go away.
Original Configuration
To gain the benefits of increased printer memory and the security of a manufacturer warranty, purchase your laser printer with its RAM upgrade pre-installed before it's delivered to your office. In most cases, that adds the RAM upgrade to the warranty coverage for the printer itself. If your upgrade proves faulty, the printer manufacturer holds the responsibility for replacement. The sole disadvantage of this arrangement can be its price, because the manufacturer may charge more for the RAM than you'd pay on the open market.
Printer Manufacturer
Purchasing a memory upgrade directly from the printer manufacturer offers you the assurance that you're getting the proper chips for your machine. In the increasingly rare cases in which a printer requires proprietary chips available only from the manufacturer, this purchase option may offer your only choice. As with pre-installed memory upgrades, however, the downside of buying direct may come at the bottom of the invoice. If your printer requires proprietary chips, expect an additional price hit.
To save money and still gain the benefit of increased printer memory, you can source your upgrade yourself from a vendor that either specializes in RAM or sells it along with a full line of computer pieces and parts. Look for a lifetime replacement warranty, particularly one that the merchant honors with cross shipping of replacement parts as soon as you report a component failure. Otherwise, the merchant may refuse to send out new RAM until you return defective chips. Some RAM vendors sell their own memory brands, whereas others offer a range of choices, some with better warranties than others. Verify that you know exactly what you need before you make your purchase, get written confirmation of warranty terms and keep your receipts in a safe place.

Skip to comments.Clinton calls terror a U.S. debt to past
Posted on 11/08/2001 7:52:15 AM PST by concerned about politicsEdited on 07/12/2004 3:48:37 PM PDT by Jim Robinson. [history]
Bill Clinton, the former president, said yesterday that terror has existed in America for hundreds of years and the nation is "paying a price today" for its past of slavery and for looking "the other way when a significant number of native Americans were dispossessed and killed."
(Excerpt) Read more at washtimes.com ...
He loves to talk about himself, no matter what.
That pretty much sums it up. Clinton, who was just as responsible as anyone for the lowered state of security, now points it out and says it needs to be fixed.
What an idiot.
He should try reading that Bible he carrries for TV. God doesn't hide the truth, but men like X42(i) try to bury it. The man is disgusting.
The impeached, treasonous, kleptomaniac,rapist, perjurious president has done it again. And to think there were those who said that it didn't matter if he served out his time in office. He needs to serve out his time in jail.
When will this STD-loaded, brain-rotting rapist disappear? How long must we listen to this fine spun vomit from Bill?
My thought exactly!!
You're giving him WAY too much credit.
This is probably going to fly under the rader, because they recognize the hypocracy of letting CLinton get away with this.
Having said that, I believe America is paying an AWFUL PRICE right now as a result of a strong cultural naivety regarding foreign powers and groups, and a failure to grasp the kind of psy war we are in and insisting in dealing with the enemy as we would with a JudeoChristian Western enemy. We have been woefully unprepared in everything from CIA agents gutted, a sorry lack of foreign languages, shoddy quality control by the airport 'security personnel' of Argendimwit Company, dumbed down DMV agents accepting forged documents, and an underfunded or focused Border Patrol and INS who cannot even keep track of all the foreigners coming here, many with evil, incredibly dangerous intent.
In fact, the BLAME for a lot of the above is due to the way things were carried out under a certain former President who is also the topic of this thread.
One of his old Arkie acquaintences told that many times he usesd the "n" word, which is mild when compared to how he's used the American black people to build up himself. Was Harlem is first choice for his "offices"? Not no, but hell no.
It is *he* who has endangered this country from the lax and lenient INS procedures, to try to get enough halfwits to vote for the Dem.
Both Clintons should shut the bleep up, so we can forget we ever heard of them, and that goes for that ugly kid, who is equally as liberal.
Maybe one of OBL's wives is a Hutu.
Oh, and Bill, one more thing: STFU!
Hello? isn't this the Liberal philosphy we have been fighting against here in the US. Is he trying to convince us that this wasn't his prime directive as Leader of the democratic Party.

FATAL CONFUSION: A Troubled Emergency Response; 9/11 Exposed Deadly Flaws In Rescue Plan
Published: July 7, 2002
(Page 5 of 6)
''A person can control a certain amount of people,'' he said. ''I was in the military, the Marine Corps, for four years, in Vietnam. So I was thinking that way. I'm not putting anyone else down there. We're going to be in enough danger without putting more people in a situation like that. I didn't say it nicely. I said, 'Get off the rig.' ''
The men got off. Then they went outside and caught rides to the trade center in a police car and a city bus. One was killed in the collapse of the north tower.
He was among the 60 off-duty firefighters to die. Some came from second jobs, one from a golf course. Many bypassed staging areas and commanders with whom they were supposed to check in, fire officials said. Several on-duty companies led by veteran officers did the same.
Those who responded so impulsively were upholding the Fire Department's finest tradition: the selfless struggle to save the endangered. But they were also rushing to fight a fire that department officials had already decided was unfightable. And they did so in such numbers, with so little coordination, that some fire officials are now questioning whether the department known as the Bravest acted too bravely that day.
''Courage is not enough,'' Mr. Von Essen said. ''The fact that the guys are so dedicated comes back to hurt them down the line.''
Many officials now say the city needs a more measured and disciplined response, which would allow officials to hold back resources in case of a second incident. ''You have to train them,'' said the Port Authority police chief, Joseph Morris. ''You can't have everybody coming in.''
Port Authority police officers also flocked to the scene, leaving posts at bridges and tunnels, Chief Morris said. Ambulance crews converged on Lower Manhattan, leaving much of the city sparsely covered. At one point, the city's Emergency Medical Service had no ambulances for some 400 backed-up emergency calls, its senior officer on duty, Walter Kowalczyk, said later. Fire officials said that just after the collapses, more than 100 ambulances, nearly one-third of the fleet on duty, went to the buildings.
''As we've said at so many funerals, cops and firemen run in when everybody else runs out,'' said Commissioner Kelly, adding, '' So when you say, 'Hey, we don't want you to go,' it is really contrary to the reason why you signed on for this kind of work.''
The Naval War College analysts found that the lack of planning left the Fire Department vulnerable to losing control at a major disaster. ''It was clear,'' the college's report said, ''that the responses above the tactical level are largely handled 'on the fly,' with tremendous gaps in command and control.''
The loss of control was not evident in the demeanor of commanders on Sept. 11; videotapes show them responding calmly to crises. Later, though, some firefighters spoke of an aimlessness to the efforts. ''Nobody had a plan,'' said Firefighter Modica, an aide to a chief lost in the north tower.
When Jay Swithers, a captain and paramedic assigned to the Fire Department's Bureau of Health Services, arrived at a triage center operated by the Emergency Medical Service, he could not find Fire Chief Raymond M. Downey, who led the Special Operations Command and whom Captain Swithers would be working with.
''Nobody could tell me where he was,'' Captain Swithers said in an oral history. ''Most of the E.M.S. people didn't know what special command was or who Chief Downey was.'' The chief died in the collapse.
Certainly, the attacks exceeded anything emergency planners had anticipated. In the West, some fire departments have coordinated massive responses to brush fires. But in New York, mock disaster drills rarely draw more than 100 firefighters. On Sept. 11, the department used nearly 1,000.
''On that day, Sept. 11, all the plans, all the scenarios that we had developed, everything, everything was blown up,'' James Ellson, a former deputy in the city's Office of Emergency Management, said recently.
Senior fire officials said that even as they drove to the towers they knew the fire was too large to fight. ''It was evident that we weren't going to be able to get to people above the fire,'' Thomas Fitzpatrick, a deputy commissioner, said in his oral history.
In the confusion, though, firefighters continued to charge up the stairs with lengths of hose that weighed 38 pounds. Some suffered chest pains. Others could not tell one building from the other. Such confusion occurred so often that Chief Pfeifer had ''Tower 1'' written in marker on the command post in the north tower lobby. And no one in authority ever realized that a stairwell was open in the south tower. At least 18 people ultimately escaped from above the impact zone that way, but word of their route never reached hundreds of others trapped above.
Over all, however, nearly everyone below the floors where the planes struck escaped, helped by rescuers. Sharon Premoli, an executive vice president with Beast Financial Systems, said she was comforted by the sight of the ascending firefighters.
''I felt better, I felt safe,'' she said. ''They were the reason.''
Lt. Brian Becker, who escaped from the north tower with his unit, Engine Company 28, said it was simplistic to view the day in terms of heroism or blame.
''It was a series of random events that killed thousands and saved hundreds,'' he said. ''Not many people did anything right that day, but not many people did anything wrong that day either.''

Brady girls fall to No. 2 Wallace
WALLACE—With a 13-2 record and losses only to the top two rated teams in Class D-2, the Eagle volleyball team has had an admirable season.
Still, coach Lynne Johnson thinks the Brady volleyball team has more to give.
The Eagles split games at the Wallace triangular on Sept. 28 falling to the No. 2-rated Wildcats 21-25, 25-22, 25-18 in the first match of the night before coming back to beat Maywood easily 25-7, 25-12.
"It was like opposite ends of the spectrum in one night," Johnson said.
Wallace is a solid team, she said, but the Eagles gave up too many unforced errors in the loss.
"We came out and played really well in the first set," Johnson said. "We didn't watch the score and we just played our game."
In the second set, Brady missed four serves on top of a few other mental mistakes to give Wallace the edge.
"We know we can play with them," Johnson said. "It's just that we tend to shut down mentally when a few mistakes get strung together."
The coach said if the Eagles could have held their composure for five or six more points in the second set, the outcome may have been different.
"But we'll see them again," she said. "Hopefully we can play a full game without taking a mental break."
But Johnson doesn't feel badly about where her Eagles stand. Their two losses are to

I wasn't sure what to expect when I made these, I'm just starting to cook with Splenda. I found out that they are really good! They are almost too sweet for me though and I may use less Splenda next time. Other than that, I liked them a lot and will make them again.
Wonderful. I am going to sub some of the water next time with sugar free maple syrup to get a little bit more pecan pie taste. Other than that I wouldn't change a thing.
These are delicious! I made them for gifts this Christmas--proud to have something tasty for the diabetics on the list. Thanks!

The Count: Vick's Impressive Running Record
In case Philadelphia Eagles fans were wondering why their club would acquire Michael Vick when the team already has a standout quarterback in Donovan McNabb, they might want to study the rushing statistics from 2006, Vick's last season. That year, according to a new statistical analysis, Vick, then taking snaps for the Atlanta Falcons, was the most efficient rusher in the league, and provided the second highest total value on the ground.
That year, Vick ranked just 21st in the league in total rushing yards, with 1,039. But he got those on just 123 carries, for an average of 8.4 yards per attempt, by far the best average in the NFL. Still, his total yards gained were barely half the total for league leader LaDainian Tomlinson, who had 28 touchdowns to Vick's two.
Those conventional statistics fail to account for the situation when those rushes took place. If Vick was getting nine yards on third and 10, that gain didn't help the Falcons much. Football Outsiders has sought to adjust for the situation by considering whether a play was successful or not, and quantifying it with something called Defense-adjusted Yards Above Replacement. By that measure, Vick ranked fifth in the league in among all runners, and first by far among quarterbacks — even making up for his subpar play with his arm, where he ranked 43rd of 46 players with at least 100 passes.
A new analysis suggests Vick was even better than that. Wayne Winston, author of the new sports-analysis book "Mathletics"; Jeff Sagarin, of the eponymous team-ratings systems; and the late Victor Cabot developed a technique that assigns a point value to every possible play. That point value, roughly equivalent to the value in points of a play, indicates how valuable, say, a three-yard gain on third-and-three at midfield is (1.2 points), or the same gain from the same spot on third-and-10 (-0.4). They derived the point value by simulating games for each situation, with the score tied and infinite time left, between two evenly matched teams. For each such situation they used simulations to probe what the final score would be, given each possible outcome of the play. This fails to reward big plays late in close games, but it gives a general overview of the value of each play.
By this measure, Vick averaged 0.6 points for each rush in 2006. No other rusher with at least 100 carries achieved even half that figure. Tomlinson was the only player to produce more total value with his carriers, and he needed more than three times as many carries to do it. One quarterback who didn't reach the 100-carry minimum did top Vick's points-per-carry figure — Donovan McNabb, whom Vick is now backing up.
Here are some other tidbits from the Winston group's analysis of recent seasons.
• Last season Peyton Manning topped all quarterbacks with 0.37 points per pass.
• The Giants may regret letting Derrick Ward go to Tampa Bay, as he led all rushers with 0.27 points per run — less than half Vick's formidable average in 2006, but far better than backs Michael Turner (0.07) and Adrian Peterson (0.06), even though each out-gained him in total yards.
• Reggie Wayne ranked seventh among receivers, with 0.59 points per pass thrown his way, much better than former teammate Marvin Harrison (0.15). Devery Henderson, who averaged nearly 25 yards per catch, led all receivers with an average of 0.74 points.

I want to let you know what happent to us at Dublin Airport.Monday the 27th we rented a car at you branch.That was the worse experience ever. I' ve been asked to accept a pre payment of 3.000,00 Euros Which I've never had to in different rental co.
FIRST CAR : Fiat Punto dark gray ,we signed the documents, get the car,load the luggages into the trunk..I notice that the front bumper was tied up with a
plastic rope,pulled out the plastic and the bumper fell on the ground !! I Came back inside,talk to the same agent. What would happent if i was driving this car
on the road and went through an accident ? SECOND CAR : (after waiting 20 min )new signatures...A Ford Focus so dented and scratched ,look like a wreck ,plus the 2 front tires completely bald,DANGEROUS to drive...Back inside,new documents...blah,blah.
THIRD CAR : after waiting another 15 min a Fiat Punto dark blue arrives .I was concentrated on checking the GPS offered by the agent in order to compensate all the trouble, meanwhile 3 contracts later , and waiting time ,plus stress, that the agent and I didn't really checked the car. Saturday May 2 returned the car at the same area,waited online, talked to an agent who came outside with me, asked me to leave the car here but bring the key
and documents to a Trailer,next to the shuttle.
Brought every thing to a young blonde lady who was busy with other customers ,she asked me to leave every thing.I wanted ,at least a receipt for the car and the GPS.She gave me back,a document,with my signature,and the cost of the rental,everything seemed to be allright. Untill I went back to Paris and checked my bank account which 3,075.88 Euros...had been withdrawnn without explanations,no phone call,no email,no contact!!I had to call 2 times. Last Saturday the 9th I finally talked to an agent named DAMIEN, he appologised for the trouble and told me he will make sure somebody calls me back on Monday (yesterday)NO one did. I called back again From FLORIDA this morning, talked to Mr ROY, being
transfered to customer service,and now,waiting for Mr Derek Hayes to call me back tomorrow. So far I do not have any information, explanations, or docutments
except that my bank account has been debited May 2 of 3,075.88 Euros( 12 days ago).as far as today...no call,no email,no contact.
