Dear Tom and Ray: OK, this is going to be a bit of a long story – sorry. As a college graduation present, my father got me a used 2004 Mercury Sable with 189,938 miles on it. When he gave it to me, he said it had only a small oil leak, but that leak turned out to be coming from the oil pan, and it's more than a small leak. I have to fill it every three to four weeks, which is getting expensive. So I took it to a friend, who is also a mechanic, and he discovered that my oil pan is welded in place, not screwed on, like it should be. So we are at a loss as to how to remove it and replace it without things getting really expensive. My friend thinks we should drop the engine and try it that way. What do you think we should do? – Kylee
Ray: I'd say fill it with oil every three to four weeks and start applying for sales jobs, because they sometimes come with company cars.
Tom: You're in a lousy situation here, Kylee. Your oil pan is leaking, most likely because the gasket failed. Normally, that's a pain in the neck, but not a horrible repair. But I'm guessing that at some point in this car's recent past, someone broke off the bolts that attach the oil pan to the engine block.
Ray: That would explain why they welded it back in place. The proper solution would have been to drill out the broken bolts and tap new holes, and use slightly bigger bolts to reattach the pan. But that's a big and treacherous job, so they took the easy way out.
Tom: Your friend is suggesting that you do that job now, because it requires pulling out the engine.
Ray: But before you go to that length for a car with close to 200,000 miles on it, try a simpler solution. Start by thoroughly cleaning the area where the oil pan meets the engine block. Use a good solvent, like Brake Kleen. You can reach most of the oil pan from underneath the car with minimal removal of nearby parts.
Tom: Once it's been really well-cleaned, remove any rubber gasket material that's hanging out, and then lay a bead of silicone caulk on the seam. There's a type of silicone caulk that's impervious to oil, which you can get at parts stores, and that's the stuff you want.
Ray: I would start by putting a thin layer of the caulk where the pan meets the block, and let it dry overnight. Then apply another layer the next day. Even if it doesn't completely stop the oil leak, it may slow it down.

As the seasonal chill blankets some cities across the US, illnesses and diseases are also creeping their contagion under the stealth of winter. Two of these are a deadly strain of the flu and a mutant strain of the STD gonorrhea.
According to Blackdoctors.org, Boston declared a public health emergency on Wednesday as the city tries to contain an outbreak of a new strain of flu responsible for 18 deaths so far.
Mayor Thomas Menino says his city has seen an alarming rise in flue cases this season - 700 compared to 70 for last winter. But Massachusetts is not the only state under a siege. The Center for Disease Control (CDC) is reporting that in four weeks, the percentage of cases has reportedly risen from 2.8 to 5.6. Compare that to the 2.2 percent rise during the 2011-2012 flu seasons, and we steep increase has health officials scrambling to issue flu vaccines to the public.
However, according to ABC 7 News, many pharmacies are running out of the vaccine and Rite Aid has taken to moving their supply around from store to store to meet the demands. Despite this measure they say people should call ahead before coming in. Ashley Flowers, spokesperson for the national store, told ABC that a new supply of the flu vaccine is expected in stores as early as next week.
A helpful tool you can use to find an outlet near you with the vaccine, is HealthMap Vaccine Finder, which includes 40,000 locations across the US.
The CDC is reporting that the overall number of hospitalized cases in the US is 8.1 per 100,000 people, which is very high for this time of year.
One of these cases which ended tragically is 6-year-old Tahila Johnson of Pleasant Grove, Dallas, Texas. Little Tahila had reportedly complained of having aches and pain all over and was taken to the Dallas Regional Medical Center on Monday night.
According to WFAA-TV (Channel 8), Tahila's father Earl Johnson said she was sent back home around 10:00 p.m. with Tylenol, Zyrtec and a diagnosis of the flu, without even testing her for the virus. She was found dead in her bed the following morning. Considering her age and the deadly flu epidemic sweeping states, why did the hospital send the child home?
Three years ago, the N1HI virus wreaked havoc in Texas and other states across the US and this outbreak may be the worst in a decade, says ABC 7 News' medical expert Dr. Richard Besser.
Though flu cases has been recorded in 47 states, with only California, Mississippi and Hawaii escaping the outbreak, the CDC is now saying that the disease may be peaking. That didn't stop New York Governor Andrew Cuomo from declaring a public health emergency on Saturday. This order allowed pharmacists to administer the vaccine to those as young as six months to 18-year-olds. Before, pharmacist could only immunize residents 18 years and older.
Meanwhile, another contagious disease is silently spreading. Scientists have reportedly recently discovered a strain of gonorrhea in North America that is incurable. The Center for Disease Control (CDC) is understandable worried for this new strain is immune to all current medication previously used to treat this common STD.
Gonorrhea is the second most common sexually transmitted disease in the world and had been, before now, very treatable with the antibiotic Cephalosporin. Now, patients are found to be still infected after taking that antibiotic. In a study in Canada, researchers say that 6.7 percent of those taking Cephalosporin, still had Gonorrhea a week later and that 1 in 15 had the mutated STD.
If this continues, the health ramifications are staggering. Though gonorrhea is a common STD, left untreated it can wreak havoc on our health. Symptoms include itching, stomach pains and burning while urinating. The long term effects are even more devastating and can cause infertility in women.
A reported 700,000 Americans are infected with gonorrhea every year so one cannot stress enough to practice safe sex at all times. Get tested but remember testing cannot be used as prevention. Condoms, dental dams for oral sex, and being ever so discerning of your sex partners, are paramount. Know who you're having sex with, down to their medical records.
Sounds unromantic? See how romantic you can be when you're unhealthy.

Dr. Cyndi T. Lawton lives close enough to Summerville Medical Center (SMC) that she can get to the hospitals birthing suites in six minutes when a baby's on the way. But there are lots of reasons she likes the location. "I grew up right here in Summerville," says the young OB-GYN, who practices with Carolina Women's Care. "This is home." As a girl, she went to Oakbrook Elementary and Oakbrook Middle, ran track and cheered at Fort Dorchester High School and also volunteered at the hospital during her teen years. Always high-energy, she graduated high school early, at age 17, and finished her undergraduate degree at Clemson University by 19, giving her a jump-start on her doctor dreams. Now that's she's back, she couldn't be happier to practice and raise a family here. Her two sons, ages 1 and 3, were both born after high-risk pregnancies and required critical care during the first few weeks of life, giving her a fuller understanding of what families can face. "I'm never going to say that I'm glad I had that experience, but I'm glad for the things that I was able to take away from that. It really has shaped how I deliver care in a good way."

Jennifer Aniston and Her Stylist 'Love' Her Dramatically Shorter Hair
On Saturday, her longtime hairstylist/friend Chris McMillan posted an Instagram shot of himself standing next to the engaged actress, who is sporting a brand-new bob and a wide-open smile.
Aniston, 44, who had been making headlines for her hair for decades now, caught some flak for the short hairstyle this week, but both she and McMillan make it clear where they stand on the new look.
"LOVE!! #JenniferAniston #bobhaircut @LivingProofInc #Flex #PerfectHairDay #LivingProof #ChrisMcMillan #newdo," McMillan captioned the photo.
Earlier this week, Aniston told Vogue McMillan shore off six inches of her famous locks in a "kind of spur-of-the-moment" decision based on something she saw on TV.
"I was flipping through the television channels and I paused it to take a picture and I sent it to Chris, and he said, 'That's [stylist] Lawren Howell from Vogue!' And then he said, 'I just cut that!' So that's it. He went way shorter than hers, but she was the inspiration."
And how does Aniston feel about the new look?
"I don't know, man. I did it! I feel great," she said. "I feel lighter. It's simple, it's really simple, that's for sure. But I'm always one of those girls who does a big old chop just to get it really healthy, to repair all the [damage from] hair coloring and stuff like that."
"And I just got bored, honestly," she added. "It's fun to change it up once in awhile."

Implementing Ranson Renewed revitalization plan is topic of City Club meeting
February 21, 2013
MARTINSBURG — When faced with the need to change its identity from an industrial center because all the industry had left, Ranson officials followed a four-step plan, Andy Blake, acting city manager......
This is a good thing. Last I heard APU did buy the old ABC building and does plan to make a parking garage out of it. The city has alot of plans with finishing N Fairfax and redoing roads implementing living walls is all good. There are alot of eyesore building like the spongebob building. aka hot spot, I wish that was a different color. As for the sub station if I understand correctly that will be relocated in the future or at least another one built. Some people in the city don't understand how to conserve energy as the substation is at 115% load. We the people of Ranson need to do our part in taking pride in our homes and yards. Yes I am one of them. Come spring I plan to plant flowers and all that stuff to make my house and yard look better.

WOW, I agree, but......."It's better to take the initiative to seize areas and find partners to redevelop them rather than sit back and do nothing," Kleckner added......MAYBE Kleckner should talk to anti growth Charles City Council members Poaenessa, Slovver and Bringetot! They donate our tax dollars for carpet and redistribute of our taxes for their liberal causes but never spend on infrastructure or growth. How are the sidewalks in front of your home in Charles Town, how bout that drinking water, need I go on...Charles Town needs a progressive City Council like Ranson has. We need to get rid of these 3 tax and spend liberals.

Ranson actually has a vision, a good vision, for the future and is acting on it. Indeed Blake deserves much credit as do the other city leaders. The town has come a long way, but there is still a very long way to go. I'm confident that with the current leadership, and the plan in place, progress will continue. Keep the pedal to the floor.

The old granary had a name: Peoples Supply. APUS has done a good job taking down that building and crushing to make select fill and recycling materials such as rebar and scrap metal. APUS has also acquired and removed two houses and three other businesses roughly adjacent to that property. APUS has intentions of acquiring and demolitioning three additional residences to square off its recent property acquistions along North Samuel Street in Charles Town. If you look at Ranson Renewed/Charles Town Connected documents there is a artist watercolor that shows APUS expansion plans at that time. My question is has APUS acquired the former AB&C building and will that be taken down to create a parking garage. Other plans show the Hot Spot building (slot machines) opposite the fire department as being taken down to create a cobble stoned public square. There is also supposed to be a communter station facade put in front of the electrical substation.

Ahmed Salam, 20, a law student, said: "The U.S. isn't listening to the people," he said, speaking from a tent in the middle of Tahrir Square."
Do Americans know what their President stands for?
"It's not only about elections," said Mohammed Farahat, 27, an advertising account manager. "Hitler was elected too. It bothers me that the U.S. presents itself as a peacemaker, but then they supports a fascist regime like Morsi's."
Asked whether he was worried that the United States might cut off $1.3 billion in annual aid to Egypt, Farahat said his country could do fine without it, a statement that seemed to ignore Egypt's deep economic troubles. A 2011 Gallup poll found that 70% of Egyptians were opposed to their country accepting further American assistance.
"I'm tired of being threatened with losing our aid," he said. "How many times can they play that card?"
Yep, we are not well thought of and gasoline prices will go up!

"CAIRO — As rival camps of Egyptians protest for and against the toppling of President Mohamed Morsi, there is a rare point of agreement: America is to blame.
Anti-Americanism, which has long been an undercurrent here, is erupting again as Egyptians battle over the future of their country. Each side accuses the United States of backing the other and alleges conspiracies in which the Obama administration is secretly fostering dissent in an attempt to weaken Egypt.
It's a*******if you do,*******if you don't quagmire in which the U.S. appears to have alienated both sides, underscoring waning American influence and credibility as it attempts to navigate the turmoil."

The Egyptian military knows–despite the attempt of the Brotherhood to sell the West on the myth that a fascist-style movement like their brand of Islamistm is democratic in nature–that the only way to prevent it from fomenting violence is to use the same tactics it wanted to employ against Morsi's critics.
But by doing so in this manner, Obama has made it clear again to the Egyptian people that his sympathies are not with those who want a government that doesn't wish to impose Islamism on the country or the minority that actually want democracy but with Morsi and the Brotherhood. Rather than repair the damage he has done in the last three years, the president sounds as if he is determined to double down on his mistakes.
And you agree with Obama?
0 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
You don't have to read too closely between the lines to understand that Obama is angrier about regime change in Cairo than he ever was about the Islamist attempt to remake Egypt in their own image.
President Obama stood by passively for a year as Morsi and the Brotherhood began to seize total power, repress critics and pave the way for a complete transformation of Egypt into an Islamist state without threatening a cutoff of U.S. aid. Now Obama has finally found the guts to use America's leverage over the country but only to register his protest against the downfall of the Brotherhood.
This will do nothing to help Morsi and the rest of his authoritarian crew that had already topped the excesses of the Mubarak regime in only a year...

(Reuters) - Brent crude oil prices were trading above $107 per barrel for the first time in three months on Friday, underpinned by political unrest in Egypt that continued to fuel concerns of oil supply disruptions in the Middle East.

...Decreased dependency on foreign oil doesn't just impact American foreign policy; it also opens the door for the U.S. to no longer send hundreds of billions of dollars each year to countries not always friendly to the U.S. Representatives from OPEC member countries recently complained about the impact of the largely unexpected U.S. shale boom.
So, if we let free enterprise work and drill and mine and keep our administration from halting production, will prices go down? I would hope so!
Now, should we discuss the cost of healthcare?

These developments have considerable implications on U.S. foreign policy. If we continue developing our energy and manufacturing sectors, no longer will the U.S. have to kowtow to dictators of volatile nations for fear of disrupting our energy supply or rocking international markets. And we will feel far less compelled to intervene in foreign conflicts to stabilize world energy supplies. Indeed, the calculus for determining a threshold for intervention in another sovereign nation is changing in a promising way. The U.S. will always have a vested interest in a stable Middle East but the prospect -- and eventual realization -- of U.S. energy independence tips the scale and lessens the ability of rogue dictators to exercise their geopolitical control...

At the same time and in spite of our President's anti fossil fuel position, private companies on private are drill oil and gas.
How much longer will we hear empty claims from President Obama, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid that the United States has only 3% of the world's oil supplies and therefore, "we can't drill our way out of the problem"? The recent increase in domestic oil and gas production is sending shock waves through the global energy economy and is bolstering the USA's standing among the energy-producing giants in the Middle East. Not only are U.S.-Middle East relations changing in a geopolitical sense, but also economically, as trade balances reflect increasing U.S. energy production.

A Gallup survey of public opinion in 130 countries published in March reached similar findings. It showed a decline in foreign views of U.S. leadership from 49% approval in 2007 to 41% last year.

In Egypt which is heavily depended on U.S. foreign aid and military sales, 62% of Egyptians disapprove of the United States.

"Even with President Barack Obama fresh off a (a very expensive and non beneficial)trip to Africa and headed in late summer for a trip to Russia, people outside the United States take a (much) less favorable view of America than they did right after he became president.
Surveys from different parts of the world show the initial goodwill toward the U.S. from the international community after Obama assumed office has waned (actually plummeted) and recent headlines point to some reasons why -- Revelations of U.S. international surveillance, the manhunt of information leaker Edward Snowden, drone strikes in foreign countries and the continued unrest in Syria have exposed the traditional fault lines of international relations.
And, of course the fact that few have any respect for Mr. Obama.

...Obama said: "We are deeply concerned by the decision of the Egyptian armed forces to remove President Morsi of the muslim brotherhood, and suspend the Egyptian constitution. I now call on the Egyptian military to move quickly and responsibly to return full authority back to a democratically elected civilian government as soon as possible through an inclusive and transparent process, and to avoid any arbitrary arrests of President Morsi and his supporters."
Have the American people been brought into this mess because our President wants the muslim brotherhood in power? Should we call off all aid? What effect would that have?

Barack Obama said that he was troubled by Morsi's removal, and warned that US authorities were reviewing aid to Egyptian military – but he stopped short of calling the army's intervention a coup. He also condemned the arrest of Morsi and members of the Muslim Brotherhood.
The US president had invested much of his political capital in establishing Morsi's muslim but democratic credentials, while maintaining ties to the Egyptian military, which had been the main beneficiary of $1.3bn (£850m) in US aid.
However, Egyptian military leaders also hold leverage over the US, primarily by maintaining a peace treaty with Israel as well as keeping the Suez Canal open and patrolling the strategically sensitive Sinai Peninsula...

Well over 12 million Americans still can't find work, real wages have fallen for five years, three-fourths of Americans now live paycheck to check, & the economy continues to plod along four years into a quasi-mini-recovery. But there was the President in Georgetown, promising more energy taxes & mandates that will ensure fewer jobs, still lower incomes & slower growth & guaranteeing higher gasoline, heating and food prices.
Mr. Obama's "climate action plan" adds up to one of the most extensive & expensive reorganizations of the U.S. economy since the 1930s, imposed through administrative fiat & raw executive power. He wants to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 17% by 2020, but over his 6,500-word address he articulated no such goal for the unemployment rate or GDP.
What happened to the rule of law and the separation of powers under the Constitution?

A State Supreme Court justice has tossed out a petition request that would allow Amherst voters to decide in November whether they want Town Board members to be elected by geographic districts.
Acting State Supreme Court Justice Timothy Walker sided with petition objectors and the Amherst town clerk in ruling the petition invalid Friday morning.
Earlier in the week, Town Clerk Marjory Jaeger stated that the ward system petitions submitted to her office "do not comply with all the requirements of the law" because state law requires that any petition to establish council districts or wards can only be done in towns that have four or six council members.
Because of the Town Board downsizing initiative approved by voters in 2010, Amherst currently has five board members, not including the supervisor.
"The judge found that there are no grounds to hold a referendum on the ward system in the Town of Amherst, and we agree with that because the Town of Amherst is different from most other towns," said Town Attorney E. Thomas Jones.
Supervisor Barry Weinstein said he was happy with the judge's decision.
"I'm pleased," he said. "I don't think we should be putting the voters through this every two years."
Had the petition successfully placed a proposition on the ballot regarding the creation of council districts, it would have been the fifth time the matter has been placed before voters. Though the proposition has been repeatedly defeated, the last time it failed by a narrow 2 percent margin in 2010.
The citizens' petition was championed by town Democratic leaders, just as it was two years ago. It was opposed by town Republican leaders.
Proponents of the ward system say it makes Town Board members more accountable to their constituents and less beholden to deep-pocket special-interest groups. Opponents say having divided representation encourages board members to take a narrow approach to town leadership instead of working together for the town as a whole.
A district-based system also makes it easier and cheaper for more people to run for office, not just well-financed candidates. Republicans are generally better funded than Democratic candidates in the town.

Full TitleA Phase 1, Open-label Study Evaluating the Safety and Tolerability of Escalating Doses of DLYE5953A in Patients with Refractory Solid Tumors
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety of the investigational drug DLYE5953A at different dose levels in patients with advanced solid tumors that have continued to grow despite at least one prior regimen of therapy. DLYE5953A is a combination of an antibody and an anticancer drug. The antibody targets a protein on some cancer cells called Ly6E. It is designed to bind to cancer cells containing this protein and then release the anticancer drug, which kills the cancer cell.
Laboratory studies have shown that DLYE5953A can kill cancer cells, slow the growth of cancers, and shrink tumors. DLYE5953A is given intravenously (by vein).
To be eligible for this study, patients must meet several criteria, including but not limited to the following:
- Patients must have advanced breast, non-small cell lung, gastric, head and neck, ovarian, or pancreatic cancer which has continued to grow despite at least one prior regimen of therapy.
- At least 4 weeks must pass between completion of previous therapy and entry into the study.
- Patients must be physically well enough that they are fully ambulatory, capable of all self care, and are capable of all but physically strenuous activities. As an example, patients must be well enough that they would be able to carry out office work or light housework.
- This study is for patients age 18 and older.
For more information about this study and to inquire about eligibility, please contact Dr. Shanu Modi at 646-888-5243.

The SV231 is our largest boat in the SV Series with a 99" beam and a 23''-1" length. This boat has taller gunwales for 22" of freeboard. She runs well off shore and with a 12" draft can still serve as a tall bay boat. New for 2013 are fold up jump seats under the rear deck. These are large adult sized seats...not the little dinky ones you see on many boats. All lids are fiberglass built using closed molding for superior strength and light weight. All hardware is stainless steel and the forward lids have locking latches. All wells are foam insulated. On the port side of the rear deck is a large insulated well that can be a fish ice box, storage well or as an option, plumbed for a release well. In fact the entire boat is foamed for sound and temperature insulation and unsinkable safety.
Have a question about the 2014 Sundance Sea Born SV SV231?

Webinar: Updated Annual Reporting Tool to Include Electric Drive Vehicles and Infrastructure
June 4, 2014 | Watch a recording and download the slides.
The U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Vehicle Technologies Office manages several Energy Policy Act (EPAct) transportation regulatory activities that aim to reduce U.S. petroleum consumption by building a core market for alternative fuel vehicles (AFVs).
EPAct directed DOE to develop the Alternative Fuel Transportation Program to manage regulatory activities, including the State and Alternative Fuel Provider Fleet Program, which requires covered fleets to reduce petroleum consumption through one of two compliance methods.
Quick Links
Standard Compliance
Alternative Compliance
Excerpts from key federal statutes that helped shape EPAct transportation regulatory activities:
Energy Policy Act of 1992
Defined alternative fuels and required covered fleets to acquire a percentage of AFVs annually
Energy Conservation Reauthorization Act
Awarded covered fleets credits toward compliance based on biodiesel blend use
Energy Policy Act of 2005
Established method for covered fleets to reduce petroleum consumption in lieu of acquiring AFVs
Energy Independence and Security Act
Directed DOE to allocate credits for some electric drive vehicles through rulemaking underway
EPAct 1992 established two related activities not covered by this site: Sustainable Federal Fleets and Clean Cities.

A county overflowing with deer

"...because there is no hunting in the city, the deer find great living and breeding opportunities." Boy, is that true! I was at the library last week and had to walk through a herd of deer to get through the doors! There they were, waving hunting books and magazines, laughing and whistling. A 10-pointer was holding a "No Hunting Allowed" sign and singing, "Can't touch this" through a bullhorn. Man, was I frustrated.

Hunting is ineffective. Hunting injuries are far more likely to result in fatalities than in other forms of "recreation". Approximately 100 people die in hunting accidents in the United States every year, and unlike other forms of recreation, hunting endangers the entire community, and not just the willing participants. Accordingly, evidence-based studies show that car/deer collisions significantly increase during hunting season because they are frightened out of the woods and into the roads.

"Hunting is ineffective." If you were a buffalo (technically, bison) in the American West during the 19th century, I believe you would recognize the effectiveness of hunting. And you say that "[h]unting injuries are far more likely to result in fatalities than in other forms of "recreation". Huh? That's false too. Recreational swimming deaths in the US are about 1,500 yearly. Anything else you want to throw out there in the hopes it will stick?

If you look at the number of people, for example, who swim vs. those who hunt, statistically, the rate is much higher. Facts are facts! I don't take issue with hunting for food my problem is with trophy hunting. It's both barbaric and unnecessary. And, again, for those who might have missed it - hunting drives deer populations into the road. Look up the numbers, during hunting season, deer/car collisions significantly rise.

"Look up the numbers, during hunting season, deer/car collisions significantly rise."
Couldn't possibly have anything to do with natural patterns occurring prior to the onset of Winter, could it? So with no scientific data to prove your point, you just came to a conclusion. The fact is White-tailed deer movement, especially bucks, will drastically increase in November due to the onset of the breeding season.

Crossbow hunting should be approved in this state just like MD, VA and PA do years ago for every not hunter. Not just handicapped hunters. It generated more revenue for the DNR. This would certainly decrease the amount of wounded deer due to hunters who simply aren't good archers because they don't practice their sport enough. There are some very outstanding archery hunters in this state. But they are far and in between. And they practice all year long. As hunting deaths, that's BS. You wanna compare that to DUI deaths and other sports injuries? I don't think so. Many of us are hoping for the DNR to approve crossbow hunting this year in the state. Please attend the meeting at James Rumsey Vo-Tech next week and voice your opinions about all hunting and fishing issues.

I spent the last hour doing research and completely agree with Bluestorms. Erie Insurance, which has analyzed deer-vehicle collision data in the state for more than a decade, found that the opening day and opening Saturday of deer hunting season are "two of the most dangerous days to drive." According to the Missouri Insurance Information Service, increased deer activity associated with hunting is the "major factor" in the rise in deer-vehicle collisions in the last three months of the year. With more people (hunters) in the woods, deer are spooked out of wooded areas and onto the road. I also found that hunting actually increase deer populations. It's been shown that in hunted populations, females are ten times more likely to have twins rather than single fawns and are more likely to reproduce at a younger age. Immediately following a hunt, there's less competition for food. The surviving deer are better nourished, which can lead to a higher reproductive rate and

There are several factors that determine when and where deer move during the fall: Comfort, security, predatory behavior (natural predators and hunting) food availability, travel distance, breeding behavior and Lunar forces. Hunters are not the biggest reason for movement of deer. Natural forces are the primary. Sorry to disappoint you Blue, but elimination of hunting would NOT significantly reduce the movement of deer in the fall. Sources: Outdoor America magazine, Bowhunting**** & IWLA websites.

Honestly, I know it to be a fact that many deer are not killed in a fraction of a second. My family hunts and I know that many times they have wounded one and lost its trail, leaving it to die a slow, painful death...or a handicapped life. Hunting is NOT the solution. I sort of agree that they were here first and that it does drive them toward cars. I know many will never see it this way, I only hope more people try to understand and make compassionate choices.

The Buffalo Bills' players don't know much about Doug Marrone.
One of their great former rivals, however, holds the new Buffalo Bills coach in high regard.
Retired center Kevin Mawae, an eight-time Pro Bowler, played for Marrone when the coach directed the New York Jets' offensive line for four seasons.
"I've had four great offensive line coaches, and he's definitely one of them," Mawae said. "Buffalo's lucky to have him. The one thing I always appreciated about Doug is he played the game. He played in college at a high level, played in the NFL. That gave him a perspective that a lot of times coaches don't have. Players appreciate that."
Mawae said Marrone was an excellent communicator.
"He did a great job of teaching concepts," Mawae said. "As a young player, a lot of times you worry just about your assignment and who's in front of you. But Doug taught us concepts of, 'We're doing this slide protection because it's going to complement the running game in this way. We're going to run this protection and show this kind of front so we can get the defensive backfield to react certain ways.' And he would be able to teach it to you in a way where you understood it, where it wasn't complicated physics. He made the game easy to understand, and he coached in a way that required no sugar-coating. You didn't have to figure out what he was trying to tell you. It's just cut and dried; this is how it is, straightforward.
"As far as the X's and O's, one thing that I liked about Doug was not only did he know what he was doing, he knew the history behind the game. When he talked about running a certain blocking scheme, he would tell us, 'This started because of Coach So-and-So back in the 1970s.' He had perspective on the evolution of the game. I enjoyed that."
Meanwhile, several Bills had a similar reaction to the hire. They're willing to do whatever it takes to start winning.
"It looks like a good hire from the outside looking in, and I'm definitely excited to get to know him and start working with him," said center Eric Wood. "From what I've been reading, he considers one of his mentors Tom Coughlin [of the New York Giants]. So that tells me we better be ready for some tough days ahead. But hard work will get us where we want to go.
"You can't shy away from hard work when you're sitting here watching the playoffs."
"I don't really know much about him, and I haven't watched Syracuse play," said Bills receiver Donald Jones. "I've heard that he runs a good offense. I'm definitely excited about getting to work."
Tweeted Bills back C.J. Spiller: "Ready to get to work. I'm tired of sitting home during the playoffs."
Marrone's search for offensive and defensive coordinators is under way.
The Bills have asked Jacksonville for permission to speak with defensive coordinator Mel Tucker, CBS Sports reported. Jacksonville's assistant coaches have been told they are free to pursue other job opportunities.
The Bills have asked permission to speak with Jets coordinator Mike Pettine, according to multiple reports. Pettine's contract is due to expire next month. He declined a chance to sign an extension with the Jets last month.
Quotes on Marrone:
From CBS analyst Phil Simms: "I know 25-25 [at Syracuse] does not sound like a great record, but that program was completely in the gutter when he went up there. He did a wonderful job."
From CBS analyst Rich Gannon: "That was a mess when you took the job at Syracuse. They had won 10 games the previous four years with Greg Robinson. He was a miracle worker up in Syracuse. He won there and I think he'll put together a good staff in Buffalo. I think he can win there with the talent that they have.

BEAVER SPRINGS - When one thinks of a race, a slew of potential images come to mind: NASCAR, chariots, marathons, the tortoise and the hare, one-legged, etc. But a contest involving beds is not typically one's first thought.
On Thursday, a press conference was held at the Middlecreek Area Community Center, in Beaver Springs, for the upcoming Beaver Bed Race, slated to be held at 4 p.m., June 15, at Beaver Springs Dragway.
The concept of the bed race was inspired by the iconic introduction to the classic 1960s television show "The Monkees." The opening montage features lead vocalist Davy Jones resting in a bed as other members of the band, donning full nighttime regalia, push him down an active street.

The Monkees former frontman, Davy Jones, was a resident of Beavertown when he passed away on Feb. 29, 2012. Cher Harpster, executive director of MACC, said Jones loved his community and was extremely supportive of the MACC. She believes the upcoming event will pay tribute to the late singer. Cloyd Wagner, mayor of Beavertown, said that Davy Jones was named honorary fundraising chairperson of the MACC.
The event hopes to raise money to fund a number of programs offered by the MACC and is open to teams from anywhere in the U.S. Harpster said teams from as far away as Connecticut and New Jersey have already registered.
Teams are to be composed of five members - one rider and four pushers, and team members must be 16 years of age or older. All team registrations must be received by June 3. There is a $100 minimum entry fee per team. Donations in excess of $100 can be collected and turned in on the day of the event to receive time deduction credit. Beds must contain one manufactured twin- or full-size mattress and a headboard and footboard.
The Davy Jones Memorial Trophy will be awarded to the team with the best overall time. The winning team will also be added to a plaque that will be displayed at the MACC year-round. In addition to the trophy and plaque, the winning team will receive a monetary award. The amount will be announced prior to the start of the race.
In addition to the race, barbecued chicken halves and Amish baked goods will be available at the dragway.

An eye opener's observed during a visit to a shift manager's office
Years ago a dispute got me into the office. Perhaps I may be the only AhPee allowed & invited into the office so far in that casino. Naturally I was not allowed into its surveillance room to see the tape, but the "evidence" was redirected onto the manager's monitor. I was very impressed by its Hi-Techs which "can" manipulate any way a casino wants to… in support of its assertion.
Now I understand what the "selective video-taping" means when David has implied that casinos can make a strong case against APs by their "selective video tapings". For example, if their "selective video tapes" have showed that you got 100% correct in the insurance bets, then you're a card-cheater/card-marker.
"CCC keeps card cheater on blacklist
Card counting is allowed at the Atlantic City casinos. Card cheating, of course, is not. David H. Morse claims he's a card counter, but others have labeled him a cheater."
The above quote's taken from Al Rogers' BJ21.com Newsletter dated June 16, 2006
Quote: flyingwind said:
manipulating the cut card is cheating?!
shuffle tracking and cutting to the good cards, is that cheating?
no way… for real?
Inserting then twisting the cut card in order to peek at the cards, then re-cutting the deck in order to steer the cards is considered illegal by the courts.

We often have the argument over exactly what is cheating. The loosest definition usually equated cheating with illegal activity. That would seem to indicate that it is cheating. Thanks Sonny.

INCLINE VILLAGE, Nev. — Incline Village and Crystal Bay property owners received their tax bills in the mail recently. It's enlightening to know that there are eight different taxing agencies and two different special assessments that we all contribute to. At least the Washoe County Treasurer is nice enough to give us the detailed breakdown of how our tax dollars are allocated so we can all see the general places where the money is going.
Most property owners pay their taxes in four installments which are spread out unevenly through the year. Unlike the estimated taxes that many of us pay to the federal government on a quarterly basis, the Washoe County property taxes are payable in four installments between August 20, 2012, and March 4, 2013. And this year the first two installments are remarkably close together with the second installment due on October 1, not even six weeks after the first payment.
While less than 1/3 of the property owners in Incline Village and Crystal Bay have received the tax refunds that are owed to them, the county still expects all of us to pay our property taxes in a timely fashion. The penalties add up rather quickly so your best defense is to make sure you submit your payment on time but include a protest letter like most of us have been doing for the last several years.
Until everybody receives a refund and all of us have our property taxes rolled back to the level prescribed by the Nevada Supreme Court, it is advisable for every property owner in our community to continue to submit a protest letter with each property tax payment. We still have the equalization lawsuit pending so the fight is not over with yet.
Some property owners may even see their tax bill decrease slightly from last year. But, if you have made significant improvements to your place in the recent past, you may possibly see an increase in your property tax bill. Events that will trigger an increase could include adding a garage, doing extensive remodeling, or building an addition.
One anomaly that still persists with our local property tax system is that a house and a condo that have the exact same fair market value when you look at their sale prices could have wildly differing property tax bills. Generally the annual property taxes for the condo will be substantially less than the house even though both properties may have sold for the same price on approximately the same date.
It is important that anyone looking to purchase real estate in Incline Village and Crystal Bay take a close look at the property taxes for the specific places they are interested in and not try to use rough percentages to guess what the taxes might be. Since many buyers come from California and they are used to a fairly standard formula under Proposition 13, the nuances and trivialities of the property tax system in Washoe County will seem bizarre and arbitrary.
There is no general rule of thumb for calculating the property taxes for each place that you are viewing when your agent takes you out to look at a variety of properties. The detailed MLS information data sheets provide the tax information for each property making it easy to compare the taxes for all of the properties you are viewing.
And for those of us who are still hoping for our property tax refunds, we can only wish that the Washoe County Treasurer's office will hire and train more staff so that we won't have to wait another year for money that is rightfully ours. It's unfortunate that the Treasurer's office won't just do the calculations for each parcel and give credits on account to everyone who has more money owed to them than the amount of their next installment payment.
But in the arcane world of Washoe County finance, property owners will continue to pay money to the County while the County owes money to them.

Okay I'm pretty sure all of us here have an anime crush (or two, or three, or more....) so here's the question. Who is an anime crush that you have had for a long time (maybe even your first) and still like today. Try and limit it to one (just to make it harder lol).Mine is definitly Vegeta, he's strong, hot, and smart. I can't explain it but he was my first anime crush and I'm buying the whole DBZ series just to watch him all over again. Anyway theres mine. Have fun, this could be interesting...
lol =) <*RAWR!!!!!! means i love u in dinosaur*>
Those who say it can't be done should not interupt those doing it - Chinese saying
<~~i cry just to here you tell me eveything will be alright~~>
first one was probably bulma from the dragon ball series. I like Rukia from Bleach now. She is cute and devious and is extremely funny. I also like her zanpakuto.

Hip joint replacement is surgery to replace all or part of the hip joint with a man-made joint. The artificial joint is called a prosthesis.
Hip arthroplasty; Total hip replacement; Hip hemiarthroplasty
Your hip joint is made up of two major parts. One or both parts may be replaced during surgery:
The new hip that replaces the old one is made up of these parts:
You will not feel any pain during surgery. You will have one of two types of anesthesia:
After you receive anesthesia, your surgeon will make a surgical cut to open up your hip joint. Often this cut is over the buttocks. Then your surgeon will:
This surgery takes about 1 - 3 hours.
The most common reason to have this surgery is to relieve severe arthritis pain that is limiting your activities.
Most of the time, hip joint replacement is done in people age 60 and older, but many people who have this surgery are younger. Younger people who have a hip replaced may put extra stress on the artificial hip. That extra stress can cause it to wear out earlier than in older patients. Part or all of the joint may need to be replaced again if that happens.
Your doctor may recommend a hip replacement for these problems:
Other reasons for replacing the hip joint are:
Always tell your doctor or nurse what drugs you are taking, even drugs, supplements, or herbs you bought without a prescription.
During the 2 weeks before your surgery:
Practice using a cane, walker, crutches, or wheelchair correctly to:
On the day of your surgery:
Your doctor or nurse will tell you when to arrive at the hospital.
You will stay in the hospital for 2 - 3 days. During that time you will recover from your anesthesia, and from the surgery itself. You will be asked to start moving and walking as soon as the first day after surgery.
Some people need a short stay in a rehabilitation center after they leave the hospital and before they go home. At a rehab center, you will learn how to safely do your daily activities on your own. Home health services are also available.
Hip replacement surgery results are often excellent. Most or all of your pain and stiffness should go away.
Some people may have problems with infection, loosening, or even dislocation of the new hip joint.
Over time the artificial hip joint will loosen. This can happen after as long as 15 - 20 years. You may need a second replacement.
Younger, more active people may wear out parts of their new hip. It may need to be replaced before the artificial hip loosens.
