The Indianapolis Colts traded former 1st-round pick to the Buffalo Bills for 2011 3rd-round pick Kelvin Sheppard, per a team release this afternoon. Hughes, drafted in the 1st round of the 2010 draft, will be remembered by Colts fans for failing to live up to expectations.
The Colts drafted Hughes in hopes of being able to use him to sustain their vital pass rush when then starters DEs Dwight Freeney and Robert Mathis needed a breather or were out due to injuries. After the firing of GM Bill Polian and HC Jim Caldwell, there was renewed hope that Hughes might thrive under the new 3-4 scheme of HC Chuck Pagano. Though advanced stats suggested Hughes was performing better than his numbers indicated, in the end, it just wasn't enough. Hughes leaves the Colts have amassed only 62 tackles and 5.0 sacks in his 3-year career.
In exchange for Hughes, the Colts received former LSU LB Kelvin Sheppard. Though both players are listed as LBers, it won't be a straight position-for-position swap, as Sheppard is an ILB and will provide depth behind the trio of Kavell Conner, Jerrell Freeman, and Pat Angerer. Sheppard has 150 tackles and 2.0 sacks in his 2-year career.
Here is what GM Ryan Grigson had to say about the trade,
"We wish nothing but the best for Jerry in Buffalo," said General Manager Ryan Grigson. "He's a talented guy that did everything we asked of him. At the same time, we are very pleased to be getting a young linebacker who has been a productive starter in this league."

Does tylenol and codine put together you audition positive for cocaine?
No from past experience codine breaks down into a by product to trial positive for morphine, Tylenol 3 did for me.
No. I am assuming someone who recently tested possitive for Cocaine told you it did.
Tylenol III (with codeine) is a narcotic. It will build you test positive for narcotics.
No! codeine is a derivative of opium, not cocaine. You will assessment positive for opiates. The bad report is that if you're being tested for a substance treat roughly program, probation, parole, or work, you're in trouble if you don't hold a prescription.
I do not know BUT if you have a prescription for it & can prove it, it doesn't situation!!

Ex-president is on the mend
Former President George H.W. Bush has been moved out of intensive care at a Houston hospital after his condition improved, a family spokesman said Saturday.
Bush, the oldest surviving president at 88, is now in a regular patient room at Methodist Hospital, where he will continue his recovery, the spokesman said. "The Bushes thank everyone for their prayers and good wishes," family spokesman Jim McGrath said in a statement.
Bush was admitted to the hospital Nov. 23 with a bronchial cough. McGrath said last week that a series of setbacks, including a persistent fever, caused doctors to move Bush into the intensive care unit last Sunday. On Friday, McGrath said Bush's doctors and his family were "cautiously optimistic that the current course of treatment will be effective."

Victory not big enough for India
Keep up to date with all of the action from the 2012 World Twenty20 with exclusive reports & reaction plus previews, features, video highlights and photos
South Africa denied India a World Twenty20 semi-final despite losing to Mahendra Singh Dhoni's side at Colombo's Premadasa Stadium.
Having posted 152 for six, India had to limit the already eliminated Proteas to 121 or fewer to progress at the expense of bitter rivals Pakistan, but the best they could do was a one-run win.
The result means hosts Sri Lanka will play Pakistan on Thursday and Australia will face West Indies on Friday in the last four, both games at the same venue as this final Super Eight game.
Three wickets each for Zaheer Khan and Lakshmipathy Balaji earned victory, but it will be little consolation to the winners of the inaugural World T20 in 2007.
Suresh Raina's 45 had aided an India recovery from 36 for three, yet the recalled Francois du Plessis' 38-ball 65 looked to be decisive until seamers Zaheer and Balaji cleaned up for respective figures of 3-22 and 3-37.
AB de Villiers, who won the toss, named two changes to the side that lost to Australia by eight wickets with du Plessis and Albie Morkel replacing Richard Levi and Wayne Parnell. India were unchanged from an eight-wicket defeat of Pakistan.
Zaheer snared the vital scalp of Hashim Amla with the innings' second ball, having the right-hander held at first slip for nought, and Irfan Pathan quickly accounted for Jacques Kallis, who had been promoted to open.
Du Plessis struck Zaheer for six over long-off and Irfan for two fours past extra-cover, but de Villiers played on for 13 to Yuvraj Singh's first ball.
Du Plessis launched Rohit Sharma over the midwicket rope and hit Balaji for two consecutive fours to that boundary. The right-hander then sweetly struck Yuvraj for four through extra-cover but, immediately attempting a repeat, holed out to long-off to leave South Africa 95 for four in the 13th over.
Balaji broke through again when JP Duminy was caught sweeping for 13 and Ravichandran Ashwin bowled Robin Peterson twice in two deliveries, but the first was a no-ball and the next a free hit. Reprieved, Peterson pulled Balaji for four and, later in the over, glanced a single to short fine-leg to ensure Pakistan's progression.
Zaheer struck from back-back balls, having Farhaan Behardien caught at long-on for 13 and yorking Peterson for 10. With 24 needed from the last two overs, Johan Botha produced a straight six but immediately fell at long-off to Ashwin.
Maximums were immediately followed by wickets in the last over, Albie Morkel depositing Balaji over midwicket before playing on for 10 and Morne Morkel pulling another before being bowled to be last out with a ball unused.
Earlier, Gautam Gambhir had cover-driven Dale Steyn for four from the first ball of the match but soon played on to Morne Morkel.
Kallis cheaply had in-form Virat Kohli caught behind and it was three wickets in three overs when Virender Sehwag sought a second consecutive six off Peterson only to be bowled for 17.
Yuvraj upped the ante with a maximum off both Botha and Peterson but lost his off stump to Morne Morkel on 21.
Rohit Sharma was dropped on 14 when Botha could not hold a difficult chance running round from long-on. Raina responded with three fours in as many overs.
Rohit paid for misjudging an attempted sweep off Peterson to be lbw for 25, but Raina was reprieved on 40 when Behardien shelled a regulation chance at deep square-leg off Kallis.
Dhoni, who was unbeaten on 23, took Steyn for two fours in the penultimate over and Raina was run out from the last ball of the innings, going for a second.

MILWAUKEE - This game could have easily been a 76ers victory.
Early on, Milwaukee looked somewhat disinterested; during the first half, the Sixers built a double-digit lead. Even after a soggy third quarter, the Sixers still had multiple possessions at game's end, any of which could have won the game.
None did.
The Bucks and Sixers alternated misses during the final couple of minutes of regulation. In overtime, the Bucks finally broke the offenseless stalemate with some explosive scoring by point guard Brandon Jennings, who until that point hadn't made a field goal.
The Bucks won in overtime, 93-87.
For the Sixers, Saturday's loss felt a little like a bucket of cold water after Friday night's playoff-clinching victory over the New Jersey Nets.

Is this the same Sparkle brand that is a part of FSP power supply manufacturers? FSP makes a damned good PSU, I can vouch for that. Heavy, excellent amp output for the wattage. I have a 400w FSP powering my power hungry s754 AGP rig with an HD3850 AGP.

3 Things Labor And Delivery Nurses Want You To Know About BirthCeridwen Morris
A survey of 525 nurses in Southern California—56% of whom have more than twenty years experience—reveals what labor and delivery nurses wish women knew about childbirth. And their advice is really good! So listen up:
1. 94% of the surveyed nurses think women should take a childbirth class.
"Usually the more prepared women are the better the experience. The fear factor decreases and with it so does the pain," wrote one of the nurses surveyed.
Another had this to say, "women think that watching The Baby Story and similar shows on TLC, etc., is preparation for childbirth, and is realistic. This is not the typical birth experience."
I couldn't agree more! I became a childbirth teacher because I want to help reduce the "fear factor" and dismantle some of The Baby Story mythology. You can never know exactly what your labor will be like. But you can learn a lot about what to expect in the hospital or birthing center which will allow you to focus on your labor rather than the dazzling and sometimes intimidating surroundings. Knowing how normal birth works– the physiology of it– can be incredibly valuable, too. If you know what your body is doing, you're less likely to feel overwhelmed or scared. Not all childbirth classes are fantastic, though. So look around for one that delves into many the ways a woman can cope in labor, and embraces a more personal, less prescriptive approach.
2. Nearly 89% think women should prepare a birth plan.
This one surprises me. I heave heard about hospital staff rolling their eyes when a birth plan is presented. But these nurses emphasize the educational aspect of a birth plan: "Developing a birth plan takes conscious thought and may assist (especially first time) mothers with being more informed about options."
Another nurse writes, "I've noticed a lot of people use pre-made birth plans from the Internet, which doesn't really help them to be more knowledgeable about the process of labor of delivery. I'm not convinced simply having a birth plan will help patient's to be more knowledgeable or prepared about the process." So true. I love these nurses!
And this: "Birth plans must be created with a health care professional who understands the realities of what is available at our particular hospital." Yeah, if you come into a hospital with a high-risk Ob/gyn and want to give birth in the bath with your husband, children and soul sisters you're going to be disappointed. But if you come in with a plan that shows clear priorities, you may get the help you need. I suggest educating yourself and making a list of those things that matter most to you.
3. 63% welcome "the right" doula.
This one is also a little surprising, I hear about doulas and nurses going head-to-head from time to time. But maybe the "wars" between nurses and doulas and doctors and midwives are over-hyped, much in the same way all the other birth and mommy "wars" are.
Here's what these nurses say: "A doula can be a great support if a woman is trying to have an unmedicated delivery. A woman really needs one-to-one care when she is laboring without any pain meds."
"Continual labor support from a confident and knowledgeable support person makes a huge difference in outcomes."
"Doulas can be helpful as long as they are supportive, not adversarial with the nursing staff."
All of these observations are supported by research.
Kudos to these labor and delivery nurses for seeing a clear, collaborative path to helping women prepare for birth. I would also be curious to hear what they think obstetricians might do to improve their practices. Or how hospital policy might change to better accommodate women.
The survey was conducted by the Perinatal Advisory Council and you can read more about it here.

About Branson On The Road
Branson, Missouri
What do you get with you bring together a fiddle, mandolin, banjo, guitar, upright slap bass, rhinestone costumes, hilarious comedy and great classic country, bluegrass, rockabilly and gospel music at a theatre near you...Branson On The Road!
Branson On The Road has over 20 years of experience of performing at the top theatres in Branson on the famous 76 Country Music Boulevard (known as "The Strip"), and is the first national touring show named for the famous city. The show delivers the Branson traditions of good, clean, family fun wherever they go...and they go all over the US and beyond!
Branson On The Road is the kind of show most people thought was long gone in this day of overproduced music, overused special effects and performers singing to tracks. In the same tradition as the traveling road shows during the glory days of the Grand Ole Opry, the Louisiana Hayride and the first Branson music shows, Branson On The Road keeps you tapping, laughing and smiling.
Those seeing a Branson On The Road show can not only expect great music but plenty of hilarious comedy every step of the way.
"We reside in the live music capital of the world, Branson, Missouri", said Debbie Horton, "and realized that there are many people who will never have a chance to visit Branson personally and with the economy the way it is today, we decided to bring our Branson stage show directly to them."
Branson On The Road is the best way to experience a Branson show right where YOU live! For a couple of hours you can forget all about your troubles and have good time – laughter is the best medicine.
Debbie Horton holds the distinction of being the only woman to have played lead guitar for the great Johnny Cash. She hosted her own show at the old Boxcar Willie Theater in Branson and has performed on the famous Louisiana Hayride and Ernest Tubb Midnight Jamboree in Nashville. She was a radio DJ in Norfolk, Virginia and acted as MC for concerts with Kenny Rogers, Hank Williams, Jr., the Oak Ridge Boys, and many more. Among her other credits, Debbie is an accomplished songwriter. She has had her songs recorded by Wanda Jackson, Norma Jean and many other country singers.
Donnie Wright is an expert, sought after, respected musician, arranger and is versatile on many instruments including fiddle, mandolin, guitar, banjo and bass and has been part of the Branson music scene for 40 years. He provides a good deal of the comic relief on the show with his mischievous antics. Among his long list of credits are performances at The Grand Ole Opry in Nashville, The Presley's Show in Branson, The Pine Mountain Jamboree in Eureka Springs, and a long-standing run at The Golden Nugget in Las Vegas. Donnie has been nominated for a Lifetime Honors Award for his contribution to music in the Ozarks by the National Endowments of the Arts in Washington, DC.
Brian Capps plays upright bass and sings songs reminiscent of Marty Robbins and Hank Williams. Brian's latest recording reached the Top 10 on the Americana Charts and is part of the music rotation on XM Radio.
Branson On The Road is a regular featured act on the national television show, "Midwest Country" on the RFD-TV network seen in over 100 million homes.

What is in the powder that makes ones eyes burn and smells similar to Ammonium ? The guy who owned the M16 said it's cordite that makes your eyes tear when you shoot the full auto... True?

Not true.
July 16, 2011, 12:45 PM
Cordite was used mostly by the British. It looks like strands of string pushed into the case. It's not used in today's 5.56 ammunition.
What makes one's eyes burn is probably the debris from shooting that fast that hangs in the air. My ears burn when I hear someone spout off about modern ammunition using cordite for a propellant.............
Hope this helps.
July 16, 2011, 12:56 PM
It was strong, it smelled similar to ammonia or whatever. It was 855? Surplus ammo .
July 16, 2011, 12:59 PM
Maybe you were shooting Russian Wolf ammo?
It stinks worse then American ammo.
But it most certainly isn't cordite powder.
Cordite has Never been used in .5.56/.223 ammo, ever.
Cordite was last used in the early 1960's in British .303 service ammo.
All cordite production ended in England at the end of WWII, and the factories were closed.
There are no cordite factories left in the world now as far as I know.
July 16, 2011, 01:38 PM
There are definitely some powders out there that smell like a well used cat box when fired. Not always surplus. Last time I smelled this at the range I asked and the guy was shooting H-4895 he purchased from a local dealer. May have to due with whether the powder was damp or not. Since Ammonia is combined Hydrogen, Nitrogen, and Oxygen, all the elements are there in just about every powder if there is a little moisture as well.
July 16, 2011, 02:48 PM
It was certainly US surplus ammo.. Not wolf as stated above
July 16, 2011, 03:38 PM
What is in the powder that makes ones eyes burn and smells similar to Ammonium ? The guy who owned the M16 said it's cordite that makes your eyes tear when you shoot the full auto... True?
Cordite is an obsolete powder. I am unaware of any modern uses.
I have in front of me Table 4-26 "Thermo chemical properties of propellant constituents" from AMCP 706-247. This table is on legal sized paper and has four separate pages.
I could imagine the table on the combustion products would fill a book.
There is a lot of nasty stuff in powder. Don't breathe the vapors!
July 16, 2011, 10:53 PM
I heard the smell of cordite referenced once on "Law and Order" by the forensic doctor and I got a good laugh out of it. RC said it when he said no 223/5.56 ammo has ever contained cordite because that's a fact. People who say such things are just repeating what they have heard the know nothings on the tv screen say. As usual they (tv people) very seldom know what they are talking about when it comes to guns or ammo. In this, they have a lot in common with the majority of the gun banners.
July 16, 2011, 11:03 PM
Cleaning solvents are burn off as the Full Auto gets hot ,if to much* or the wrong kind has been used. Break Free CLP works well. Tell your cordite friend to change his cleaning methods. http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n420/joe1944usa/M16A1%20Carbine/th_M16A1BillofSaleEdit.jpg (http://s338.photobucket.com/albums/n420/joe1944usa/M16A1%20Carbine/?action=view¤t=M16A1BillofSaleEdit.jpg)

This^ . CLP burns off too and smells ammonia-ish.
July 17, 2011, 05:44 PM
i dont think cordite has been available in the states in years has it???
Maj Dad
July 17, 2011, 06:55 PM
Ammonia is NH3, no Oxygen. Frankly, I have loved the smell of burnt gunpowder, ever since the mid-50s when I shot my father's old Win 06 off a country bridge, plinking at turtles. They were relatively safe with that old shot-out gun that still resides in the safe... :)
July 19, 2011, 07:21 PM
I've shot American Eagle 223 that had that nasty ammonia smell too, don't know what it is.
July 19, 2011, 07:31 PM
is not uncommon when shooting military-caliber rifle ammunition, particularly in rapid fire or full-auto. It is not peculiar to cordite-loaded ammunition, nor to any specific type of other powder, being present when firing ammunition loaded with stick or ball propellants. I think any machinegunner will know what I mean, and most military riflemen and/or experienced highpower competitors...

Cordite powder is nothing more than a early type double base powder with a high content of nitroglycerin mixed in a suspension of Vaseline.
NOTE: Mineral jelly is British English for Vaseline Petroleum Jelly, which is a mixture of mineral oils, paraffin and microcrystalline waxes. This is what changes the Cordite into a dough like material and then pressed into long cords and hence "cordite".

In this video press release, Assembly Majority Leader Louis D. Greenwald (D-Camden) discusses the Assembly Democrats plan to provide middle class and senior citizen property tax relief. The bill (A-3202) would: • Deliver a $789 million boost to the Homestead Benefit Program, which pays credits against local property taxes, helping lower a homeowner's property tax bill. • Triple the amount available under the program, providing for significantly enhanced property tax relief payments to the state's beleaguered homeowners and tenants ($398.5 million had already been budgeted). • Senior and disabled homeowners would receive homestead benefits according to existing law. This would equal 20 percent of the first $10,000 in property taxes paid in 2011 if an applicant's income does not exceed $100,000, 15 percent if the applicant's income is more than $100,000 but not more than $150,000 and 10 percent if an applicant's income is more than $150,000 but not more than $250,000; • Other homeowners would receive the same homestead benefits to which they are entitled under last year's budget, but eligibility would be extended to homeowners with incomes between $75,000 and $100,000. • Additionally homeowners would have their rebate calculated based on their 2011 property taxes paid rather than on their 2006 property taxes, as proposed in the governor's budget proposal, making the relief more updated and meaningful. • Senior and disabled tenants would receive benefits according to existing statute. Homestead benefits for these residents with incomes up to $70,000 would receive between $150 and $850. Those with incomes of $70,000 to $100,000 would receive $150. • Other tenants would receive 50 percent of the statutory rebates, which would amount to $75. • The governor had promised to fully fund this program, but in his first budget the governor cut it by 75 percent. Last year, the relief was remained just 50 percent of the fiscal year 2010 levels. For next fiscal year, the governor has proposed the same level as last year.

Wall Street Decline Takes Its Toll...
A narrow plurality of GEN poll voters believes that the U.S. Supreme Court will not uphold the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit in a case closely watched within molecular diagnostics circles. With regard to Prometheus v. Mayo, 47.5%of voters expect the high court to side with Mayo Collaborative Services (doing business as Mayo Medical Laboratories), while 42.5% voted for Prometheus, and 10% were undecided.
At issue are patents covering the methods of dosage calibration for thiopurine drugs for gastrointestinal and nongastrointestinal autoimmune diseases. The methods were designed to account for the context of a treatment regimen based on the individual patient's metabolism. Mayo has asked the justices to overturn a Federal Circuit decision last December upholding two diagnostic method patents owned by Prometheus. Diagnostics companies hope the high court's decision will offer guidance about what intellectual property they can and cannot patent.

Hippo (stage)
"Hippo (Entrance to the Space Zone.)"[1], alternatively the Space Zone Entrance[2] or the Hippo Stage[3], is a small stage in the video game Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins. It isn't a full world, but it is an important stage nonetheless. It is found on top of a hill on the main map. Mario must complete the Hippo stage to reach the Space Zone.
The Hippo stage consists of a Hippo that blows Soap Bubbles which Mario can hop into and fly with. The Soap Bubbles allow Mario to float as high as he wants and will only pop if touched by an enemy. Therefore, Mario can fly through the whole stage and even reach the Bonus. In order to reach the Space Zone, Mario must take the top exit in the bubble, as it is impossible to reach without a soap bubble. Furthermore, if he takes the bottom one, he will return to the main map, just to the right of the Macro Zone, directly under the Space Zone.

- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon pepper
- 2 packages (8 ounces each) imitation crabmeat, chopped

- 1/4 cup chopped sweet red pepper
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions
- 1/4 cup chopped celery
- 1 loaf (8 ounces) unsliced French bread, halved lengthwise
- In a large bowl, combine the mayonnaise, salt and pepper. Stir in the crab, cheese, red pepper, onions and celery. Spoon over bread halves.

A couple of economists took data compiled by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention over a four-year period and applied it to a happiness ranking based on criteria ranging from the availability of public land and open space to commuting times and local taxes.
Heck, with a poll that rigged, it's a wonder New Jersey didn't finish last. (New York did.) What, no questions about excessive tolls, potholes the size of municipal pools, oblivious drivers who clog the left lane or governors in sweater vests?
True, there was one small parcel of open land left in New Jersey (west of Clinton, we hear), and someone just built a condo on it. But all that density and body heat will help us keep our utility bills low in the winter. And yeah, we spend more than 237 hours a year getting to and from work — but that gives us more time to talk or text on our cell phones. Plus, it makes us more valuable to businesses who advertise on radio.
And our property taxes are the highest in the nation. But, hey, corruption isn't cheap.
Nowhere in the survey were true quality-of-life questions, like: Where can you get the best pizza? Make $200,000 as a cop? Retire with three state pensions?
Louisiana, the poll told us, is the happiest state in the union — right, the state still mopping the muddy waters of Hurricane Katrina from its living rooms. But maybe it makes sense after all: Louisiana always ranks near the top of any lists with the worst schools, and it's one of the most obese states in the nation.
So does that mean they really are fat, dumb and happy?
Look, it's not that we're unhappy, we're realists. We're among the wealthiest and smartest people in the nation — which means we understand just how bad things are right now.
And being ranked near the bottom isn't a bad thing. The other states near the top -- Hawaii, Florida, Tennessee and Arizona -- are there because those states get lots of sunshine, the researchers say. Can you imagine if that were the case in New Jersey? Long Beach Island would ask: "You want sun with that beach badge? It's going to be extra." We're better off without it.
So, to the pollsters we say: You want %$&$# happiness? We got your &%$*# happiness right here. Merry Freakin' Christmas.

EAST RUTHERFORD -- It took almost four months. It took OTAs, minicamp and just about all 16 training camp practices this summer.
Finally, the Giants appear to have installed their entire offense. The West Coast-style system that new coordinator Ben McAdoo brought with him from Green Bay has been fully relayed to the players and rehearsed on the field.
"Everything is installed and everything feels good so far," wide receiver Victor Cruz said on Thursday, the Giants' final day of training camp. "Pretty much the last two or three days have been fine-tuning and getting the last in of green zone."
Green zone is what most teams refer to as red zone. It's the primary scoring area inside the opponent's 20-yard line.
The Giants have spent a good chunk of practice in recent days working on green-zone plays. The results have been mixed, if you're looking at things with the glass half-full.
Publicly, the Giants have maintained they are not concerned about the sloppiness of the offense. They say the installation of a new offense with such markedly different verbiage is what they expected from the grueling process, which took almost four months.
The Giants began installing the offense when their offseason program hit Phase 2 in early May.
"We have a plan on how we're going to install," McAdoo said earlier in the week. "We're going to continue installing and continue to review some things we've done earlier. We have a plan in place for that. You never want to sit on your hands."
The plan apparently included finishing installation by the end of training camp. The Giants will be tweaking, tinkering and trying to perfect everything from now until the season opener on Sept. 8 in Detroit.
If the Giants have done anything this offseason, they have convinced the players to buy into the new offense. Despite shaky results on the field, to a man, they seem convinced all will be right when the regular season rolls around.
"I think we're right on point, everything is installed," Cruz said. "The entire offense is in. We know everything. Everybody is kind of sharp, at least in the receiver room, definitely as an offense. Everybody understands the plays.
"Now it's just a matter of fine-tuning everything and making sure we are doing everything the right way, getting our technique down. But everything is installed and everything feels good so far."
The next step appears to be having everything translate to the field. The passing game -- the little they've had confidence to show so far in their first two preseason contests -- has been shaky. They have another chance on Saturday night in Indianapolis.
And this time, there are no excuses for not throwing a ball over 10 yards downfield. McAdoo has the entire playbook to work with.

In preparing for the 30th annual St. John's Kula Festival, organizers reflected on the event's beginnings.
In 1982, members of St. John's Episcopal Church Women organization sought to raise money for local nonprofit organizations.
The previous year, the women created a quilt for parishioners Robert and Allie Doe who were moving back to the Mainland. This sparked the idea to make another quilt and auction it off to raise money. To attract a crowd for the auction, organizers created what is now known as the St. John's Kula Festival. (It was originally called St. John's Sun Festival.)
Article Photos
Marilynn Hirashima and niece Dara Reckard display one of the quilts that will be shown at the 30th annual St. John's Kula Festival on Saturday.
The event was such a success that quilts became a central theme of the festival for several years.
To commemorate the festival's 30-year anniversary, organizers said there will be a variety of quilts on display and Maui Quilt Guild docents, including the original quilt belonging to the Doe family. Quilts will be on display alongside their stories.
"Quilting is an American tradition born out of practicality and women's need to gather together," said Marilynn Hirashima. "As they sewed the pieces into a whole, they also wove themselves into a community. Every quilt has a story; that is one of the wonderful things about them."
For more information about the quilt display, call Monnie Gay at 878-1346.

Tdci-Peter liked a post in a topic: 1.8 tdci glow plug loom
The cars an 09 registered but 08 production I'm using Delphi on a lap top pretty good does almost everything on most cars but seems a bit limited on this one .
Peter not got round to checking your suggestion out yet but on the way home from work tonight it was stuttering again one thing I have noticed is that my glow plug dash light and esp light will stay on for around 15 secs after car is started also dash lights are slow to respond could this have anything to do with the relay you suggest or just coincidence car show no other codes than them 3 though .
STEADS replied to cbirchy87's topic in Ford Focus ClubIf the leak is from the union it's quite likely the nylon washer has gone instead of paying frauds 14+ pounds for one go to b an q and buy some nylon tap washers slightly thicker and you will have to file out the middle a tad to get it to go over the union but work a treat did my mates this way over 2 years ago and still no leaks cost £1.14

The smell was an unforgettable mixture of preservation and decay that stung my nose as I walked into the laboratory. I felt a mix of insecurity and excitement as the rows of cadaver benches came into my view—dull gray metal with bodies wrapped in layers of fabric, plastic, and preservatives. I learned quickly that everything has a purpose and a flow. Each nerve has a function and each vessel a destination. Anatomy is a systematic science. Working layer-by-layer, the student comes to an understanding of the whole by learning the details of the parts.
While I sat at home one afternoon attempting to memorize innervation and blood supply, I heard a loud thud and walked onto my balcony, expecting to see construction in the area that could explain the sound. Finding no explanation, I returned inside only to hear another sound. This time, I could hear the vibration of air whooping up against the doors and windows of my apartment. I felt a tiny ball of sickness grow in my stomach. I heard the sirens next, one after another in a symphony of wails. I rushed to my bedroom window to see a nightmare unfolding across the street. At the main intersection of town stood two buses with gaping black holes in their centers and smoke shooting out. Before long, individuals wearing white vests were collecting the remains of the victims off the same street that I walked on my way to school each day.
When I learned about the details of Jewish burial practices in my anatomy course, I was surprised to hear how similar they were to the Muslim rituals I remembered from my childhood. Both traditions originated in the temperate climate of the Middle East. Both incorporate traditional burial clothing, both throw handfuls of earth on the dead body, and both sit for well-defined periods of mourning.
In the Jewish tradition, a strong emphasis is placed on burial in completion. Organ donors are difficult to recruit because of the common belief that the body should be buried in an undefiled state, as complete as it was at birth. The men and women in the white vests searched the site for any pieces that could be considered human remains. They meticulously covered the scene with no other job than to ensure that the greatest possible respect be paid to the victims.
Their bags reminded me of the containers that I had used in the anatomy lab the day before. As we were dissecting our cadavers, we were encouraged to place every piece of human waste in a special container to be returned to the body upon completion of the dissection for the eventual burial. Both their bags and our containers served the same purpose but in entirely different circumstances.
Each morning after the bombing, I walked the same street to class, pushing aside questions of faith, life, and death as I focused on my studies. My anatomy course continued as expected, despite the tragedy that I had witnessed, and we moved on to studying the anatomy of the chest. We worked our way through the mediastinum to reach the heart. Learning about the chambers and valves of the heart was nothing compared to the day when I reached into the thoracic cavity and held a human heart in my own two hands. The anatomy of the heart was a poignant reminder of the fragility of the human experience.

Designing Your Own Online MLM Marketing System
Network Marketing can be tough, especially without an automated online MLM marketing system to do all the work for you.
Seriously, if you're in the MLM Marketing industry in the year of 2012 and you're still building your business offline, I'm going to say to you that you're a total idiot.
No offence to anyone building their business offline, but there are much easier ways of doing things now in online network marketing.
Like I've managed to design my very own MLM marketing system that generates 100+ leads a day, generates cash on demand and ultimately recruits people into my primary business on total autopilot.
I'm not actually kidding, my system generates leads, cash flow and it even enrolls people into my downline. All while I'm chilling out on the beach, reading a book in my hammock or traveling around the world.
Crazy ehh?
Well it still amazes me as I can remember the days where I had to manually find people offline. Then I had to teach them that Network Marketing was in fact NOT a scam. Then I had to convince them that starting an online MLM marketing system would be a good idea and that my company had the best comp plan/product in the industry.
Heck, by the time I did all that I was probably left with 3 out of 150 people I started with. The point is that old school marketing doesn't work as well as it used to. Plus it's just much easier, less time consuming and more profitable to create your own MLM marketing system. So here it goes, this is what you must create:
Essentially A Working Online MLM Marketing System All Starts With Traffic
This is just like everything else in Internet Marketing. The traffic part is getting people to come to your page. Without the traffic, you have nothing. It's like doing offline marketing in a town with a population of 100 people. There are countless ways to generate online mlm traffic. Most well known of all are:
- Article Marketing
- Blogging
- Pay Per Click
- Social Media
- Forums
- Banners
All that good stuff, they all work and they work well. Generating traffic is not a scientific process. There is literally no skill involved so don't worry, any old fool can do it.
Pick 1 way of generating traffic and master it. Once done you'll never have to worry about traffic generation ever again.
You'll be able to send it wherever you want, whenever you like.
Option one is that you need a really good capture page. Capture pages are the pages that ask for your information in return for some free info product. Whether it be a top secret newsletter or a free PDF, otherwise known as opt in bait. Capture pages can be created very easily, there's books, articles, software and WordPress plugins that will help you.
All that matters is that you offer an irresistible piece of opt in bait that lures visitors onto your list. You can actually setup your capture page with Google Analytics. So you can see what percentage of visitors opt in, then you can tweak and make small changes for better conversions.
The other option is a blog post where you are "giving valuable information". At the end of the article you give someone the chance to move forward with you. This can be done by telling them to click on an offer or fill in a form to receive "the next step" in the recruiting or sales process.
Now you've got your traffic, opt in bait and capture page up, you need to design a cool thank you page. Thank you pages are actually really important, they're the first thing subscribers see after they opt in. If you're giving away a free webinar as opt in bait, you could take them to the webinar page right away.
A better way of doing it…
Have a picture, some text and an audio of yourself talking. Basically just saying Hey man, appreciate you joining the list. You know the drill, go check your email, confirm and I'm going to send opt in bait x right to your inbox… We'll talk soon. Even better, record a video of yourself saying it. The key is to put yourself on your thank you page.
Then in your autoresponder sequence, have the first email go out which is your welcome email. In your welcome email, first give away your opt in bait. Then talk about yourself a little, who you are, why you love online network marketing and how you're going to help subscriber x excel in business.
Then over the next 2 weeks you should setup an autoresponder series feeding your subscribers with totally free content. Links to blog posts, youtube videos and general articles. Or just write long emails packed with helpful information.
After doing that for a week or two, drop P.S. lines at the bottom of your emails linking to another funnel. That funnel should heavily promote a product or service. A low ticket, $50-$100/month or one time payment product or service that can put money in your pocket immediately. The point is to not promote your opportunity up front. Doing that will get you instantly rejected.
Instead you can offer a helpful information product that's under $100 that will genuinely help your subscribers build their businesses. What this does is create instant cash flow without recruiting while also putting your subscribers into a buying state of mind. When they've taken out their credit card once from your recommendation, they'll likely do it again. Just as long as the info product doesn't suck.
MLM Marketing, Internet Marketing and selling in general is all about making people take baby steps. First you lure them onto your list, then you feed them with high quality information. Then you sell them a piece of information that they love and are happy to pay for. Then you feed them with more solid information and then you feed them YOUR OPPORTUNITY.
If you feed them your opportunity without all the other stuff, you'll be ruined… And if you replace the info product with your opportunity, some will buy into it. The majority won't, and that means they will NEVER purchase anything from you.
However recommending an info product before hand, won't damage your chances of getting them in your primary business which should be your end goal. It will only increase your chances. So after making the sale of your info product, time to move onto your primary business. Remember I said you need to get your generic subscribers onto another email list that heavily promotes an info product, remember that! That way you can carry on promoting the info product for a couple of weeks while keeping your subscribers on your main list.
Of course, you can directly promote the info product in emails to your core list after they've been on it for over 2 weeks. I just like to have a completely separate list for really hammering them with the product. After that's done, it's time to expose your subscribers to your primary opportunity.
The best way to do this is through webinars.
Record them once, show them forever. So record it and then stick it on a page you can send subscribers to. Once it's up just send out promotional emails now and then. Drop P.S. lines at the bottom of generic emails linking to your presentation.
Of course… make sure you have a strong call to action at the end of your webinar or video presentation with a link to go signup… AND also a link/form to request a call back. That way you don't have to deal with the idiots who are only semi interested. If you make the form/link appear at the of the presentation, you'll only have highly qualified leads to follow up with.
So that's it, an online MLM Marketing system summed up in 1 article. Very simple stuff that has the potential to make millions. The point is, design your own marketing system, have it work for you, outsource your business and exponentially grow your downline.
In Prosperity,
David Wood
P.S. Would love to get your thoughts on this one… And if you'd like to learn more about designing your own MLM Marketing system step by step, fill out the form on the right or at the bottom of the comments… be sure to watch my video with a special gift from me… but promise not to laugh!

In a blog post on WIND Mobile's website this afternoon, CEO Anthony Lacavera made clear that WIND is in favour of market expansion and new competition, all the while reprimanding Bell, Telus, and Rogers for their "lies and fear-mongering." WIND was one of several smaller wireless carriers to break into the Canadian market after the Conservative government's push for more industry competition, back in 2008. This push was less than successful though, and the Big Three remain in complete control of the Canadian mobile space.
This is where Verizon comes in. The Conservatives are making their second push, and this time they're taking a different angle: American telecom. Verizon is one of the largest service providers in the United States, and in the next big auctioning off of government-regulated wireless "spectrum" bands they're looking to move across the border with Harper's help. Now, this is where the Big Three take issue, as does Lacavera in turn.
this is where the Big Three take issue, as does Lacavera
In his post, Lacavera goes through the numerous claims against Verizon expansion made by the Canadian Wireless Telecommunications Association (which he also refers to as a "mere puppet of the Big Three") and makes solid, if harshly worded, rebuttals. In response to the notion that Canadian tax money will be lost in the advancement of Verizon's Canadian expansion, he simply declares them to be wrong. He reminds of the fact when a provider uses one of the Big Three's existing networks, a fee will be going straight to them.
"I'll be quick on this one. It's flat out wrong."
He also takes on the claim that because Verizon will have it's Canadian start in large markets, the inevitable rise in urban market activity will result in less wireless accessibility for rural customers. Besides the curious fact that Rogers, Bell, and Telus all started in urban centres as well, Lacavera makes one point that really sticks: "[The Big Three] are serving these communities because there are customers there, and money to be made." Every one of these corporations are primarily interested in having customers and making money, whether by holding together an all-powerful oligopoly, or by cutting into a new national market.

- "Six certainties about the coming years.
- "Hope in a cold season."
- Although this gives waaaaaaaaaay too much benefit of the doubt to Obama, it's a pretty good history of how indefinite military "detention" got legalized.
- When times get tough the tough get a backbone.
- There's nothing more dangerous than a woman with a child. (ADDED: Although this has gotten coverage in every media outlet and blog this side of Alpha Centauri, I like Joel's take on it the best.)
Dontcha sometimes feel like this? Well, not about baths, specifically. But about what lies in our future:

on December 25, 2013 - 12:01 AM
Here are edited excerpts from a recent online chat:
Q: I have been a vegetarian for several years but enjoy cooking meat for dinner parties and such. However, I have limited experience and came across instructions to cut meat "against the grain." What exactly does that mean, and how do I know which way the grain runs?
A: To cut "against the grain" means to cut perpendicular to the direction of the muscle fibers in the meat. It's easier to see on some meats than others. Think about brisket: When you have a properly sliced piece, you can pull it apart with your fingers because each one of the slices has cut across the muscle fibers.
– Joe Yonan
Q: When a recipe calls for butter, does it matter whether you use salted or unsalted? What is commonly assumed when just the word "butter" is used?
A: This calls for low-grade sleuthing on your part. Is the recipe more than 30 years old? If so, salted butter might have been a given. A container that says "sweet" butter, by the way, probably means the butter is salted, as in "sweet cream butter." If the recipe is more recent, it might have come from a cookbook that might have explained up front that all uses of the word "butter" mean "unsalted butter." (I think that's sometimes done to save words/space in recipes.) We tend to use unsalted butter in all Washington Post recipes to be as exacting as we can about sodium in the nutritional analysis.
– Bonnie S. Benwick
Q: Speaking of butter, I've read that the European butter brands sold in the United States still aren't as good as the stuff you get in Europe. Is it still worthwhile to buy them?
A: Many moons ago, the Washington Post Food section did a big butter tasting. We found that the type of butter used mattered more in dishes where the taste of butter was very strong – for example, buttered asparagus spears – but less where it was only one component, such as in a chocolate cake or in gingerbread cookies.
– Stephanie Witt Sedgwick
Q: I made an extremely decadent Brussels-sprouts-in-cream recipe found all over the Internet (saute in butter, add cream, cook 25 to 30 minutes, add salt and lemon to taste). The results were delicious, but the sauce of the sprouts left in the pan was broken by the end of our dinner. Can I prevent this from happening in the serving bowl at the table? Just wait until the last minute to add the lemon juice and hope for the best?
A: I've made something like those before, and you're right: decadent and delicious. I think you're onto the culprit and the solution. Stir the lemon juice in right before serving. (I would think that even just taking the sprouts off the heat and letting them cool a bit before adding the lemon juice would work, too.)
Q: My parents and in-laws have all asked what I want for Christmas this year. I want to really step up my cooking and baking skills next year, and I thought I could ask for some cookbooks. Are there any that really helped you over the years (that aren't a $200 boxed set)?
A: Personally, I think one of the best ways to understand cooking is to learn a little of the science behind it. That way, you'll learn not just how to make a good pie, but the principles behind what makes a good pie and why some steps are necessary. With that in mind, I'd suggest a book like "The Science of Good Cooking," by the folks at Cook's Illustrated.
– Tim Carman

Gregg Popovich, Coach of the Year
This time it's not us heaping praise on the season he's had. This time, it's official: Gregg Popovich is your 2011(barely)-2012 Coach of the Year.
Pop received 77 first place votes out of a possible 119. Finishing second was Chicago Bulls head coach Tom Thibodeau and Indiana Pacers Head Coach Frank Vogel was third. For Pop, it's his second Coach of the Year award.
The stat that has been thrown around the most since the announcement is that none of the last eight to win COY have won the title. The last one who accomplished that double was Pop back in 2003.
At the press conference, Pop and RC Buford sat at the table and Spurs assistant coaches stood behind them. Pop was more grateful that you would expect from him in instances like this, it wouldn't be out of line for him to blow it off and say it means nothing, but deflected most of the praise to his assistants and players.
Instead of trying to force something about the job that Coach Pop did this year, I'll simply implore you to read two things. The first is Varner's piece on Pop's season from last weekend. The second is Rob Mahoney's great post on Coach Pop and what he's done to deserve the award.
There you go, keeping it under 250 words. Short and sweet, just like Pop would want.

"Why so many half-steps in the Stimulus Package?"
"How come Obama needs to hear everyone out before making a decision? We just have to get things done."
We're moving toward one year of Obamaland and public opinion, for better or worse, is settling in. Some now complain that President Barack Obama is taking too long to act, that the man of hope has become the man of indecision.
And some even might privately think, but wouldn't be so reckless as to speak, "Why can't Barack Obama be more like George W. Bush? Why can't Obama just 'do it' and go all in?"
"With Bush," they would say, "we knew where we were heading." Until his hasty and ill-considered plans turned out all wrong, that is.
It's one thing to declare yourself "The Decider." It's altogether another to make good decisions.
America's problems are riddled with complexity, risk and potential for serious failure. We face high-stakes choices, and they have to be made against high levels of uncertainty. It's easy enough for us to decide what's for dinner. It's harder though, to save an economy plunging without any historic precedent. Or exiting two wars without leaving thousands of lives lost in vain, or committing thousands more to the same sorry fate.
Its no secret Obama got handed a nasty plate of saber-tooth worms. Nearly a year on, it's no secret that Obama is methodical and cautious. Sometimes annoyingly so.
Eight years of Bush left Americans accustomed to "problem solving" cowboy style.
"Damn the facts and let's start shooting."
"Damn the finances, let's do tax cuts."
Bush's "problems solved" became much larger problems. It wasn't that Bush didn't try to solve problems — but rather, that he made bad decisions the nation was compelled to follow.
Most agree Bush failed as "The Decider." He filtered facts to confirm his foregone conclusions. His administration was steeped in crippling groupthink bolted to one-sided reasoning. Facts, be they economic or strategic or scientific, wouldn't slow his train or nudge his course. Bush had political capital to spend, and he tore through all of it on some of the worst decisions ever made in American history.
Sad for us, as those decisions also tore through our lives, our wallets, jobs and future. We've been sorely made to pay for Bush's flawed thinking and worse decisions.
Wharton taught a humorous, albeit tragic, view of how we err on decisions. While they didn't, they might have well named it, "The Bush Method."
How To make a bad decision fast:
n Presuppose the actual problem;
n Limit alternative thinking;
n Validate your preconceived opinions;
n Find some supporting data;
n Propose compliant solutions;
n Railroad implementation;
n Dig up confirmation of success;
n Congratulate yourself — "Mission Accomplished."
Most of us frequently fall into such decision-making traps. We're firmly anchored in our own opinions. We give more weight to facts that confirm us rather than challenge us. And our affinities give us a higher sense of morality and truth than may be valid. It's hard to "think outside our box" when we're certain our box is tried and true.
We want our lives and viewpoints confirmed, not torn down.
Look around. Got any regrets in life or business? Most likely go back to decisions you wish you might have made better. You were too hasty, had too few facts, too much emotion and not enough diverse input. Such is our common human condition.
Bush fired generals who expressed opposing views. He punished advisors exposing contrary evidence.
Truth and facts placed second to groupthink at the Bush roundtable, and we were rushed into places we wish we had never been led. America has resulting regrets.
Contrasting to the foibles of the "Bush Method," good decision making may take substantial time and fact-finding to get right. The biggies may take months, or even years to get right.
There are tough questions to answer when facing high stakes that frustratingly broaden issues and may slow our process. But getting accurate facts and discovering best options demand the extra effort and patience when Big Things are on the line.
"What don't we know that we should and can know?"
"What are the major unknowables, and how might they be mitigated?"
"Where might we be overconfident and over-anchored?"
"Is some of our information slanted or biased from sources?"
This calculated, measured approach sounds like "go-slow" Obama and almost nothing like "trigger-finger" Bush. Yes, we wish we could push a button and just make Obama go faster. (Can't the recession just be done?) But recession, wars, the health care debacle and everything else have been years in the making. They are smothered in uncertainty and peril. It's doubtful Obama could prudently move any faster and still get things right for the long term.
Good decisions made methodically beat quick, tragic ones. I'll give Obama a letter grade of A for going slow, collaborating, corroborating and getting facts before he acts.
Patience is indeed a virtue, especially after prior haste made so much waste.

If the Impact need a more international flare on the sideline, they've found it.
Marco Schällibaum is the new coach of IMFC heading into Year 2 of MLS, confirmed by the club with a Monday morning communique.
The 50-year old Swiss league coaching veteran has most recently worked with FIFA in countries ranging from Qatar to Mongolia.
Schällibaum replaces Jesse Marsch, who very nearly led the Impact into the playoffs in his rookie season as a head coach, the Impact's debut in Major League Soccer.
"We are very happy to announce the hiring of Marco as our new head coach for the club's second season in MLS," declared Impact president Joey Saputo. "It's the culmination of a long and exhaustive process. From the very first meeting, both parties felt comfortable with one another."
"We are confident that Marco will help us succeed," added sporting director Nick De Santis. "He has a lot of experience at a very high level and has acquired a lot of knowledge over the years. Over the different meetings, we felt a real desire on his part to come to MLS and to this club. With the rest of the technical staff, we will put him in the best situation possible in order to help him adapt quickly to the reality of North America. He is also very passionate about the game and is an excellent communicator that speaks a number of languages."
You'll hear the new coach on CJAD Tuesday afternoon, after he's introduced at an afternoon news conference.

Aaron Y. Strauss' decision to strike out on his own proved to be the biggest career challenge he ever faced.
Strauss had spent eight years working for two of the most prestigious law firms in New York and New Jersey. Working at the firms gave him stability and an incredible amount of experience he would never trade for anything, Strauss said, but he always felt he could do more on his own. Looking back, he feels he made the right decision.
Strauss, of West Orange, is now a partner at A.Y. Strauss, founded in April of this year. The law firm specializes in commercial real estate, corporate and litigation matters. A.Y. Strauss is now a firm of up to six attorneys, with offices in West Orange and midtown Manhattan.
Strauss spoke with The Star-Ledger about the legal business.
Q. How have you seen the industry change over the years?
A. The most dramatic change has been the demand of clients to expect more from their law firms. In years past, to be successful as a commercial real estate lawyer, you could simply have a reputation for doing excellent work and the clients would seek you out. Today, that is simply not enough. In addition to delivering stellar work-product, to really grow your practice and become a 'go to' lawyer, you must be proactive on the business side for your clients, by introducing them whenever possible to debt and equity relationships, off-market transactions and, of course, offering them flexible or flat-rate billing solutions.
Q. What advice would you offer someone looking to enter the field?
A. In this business, you really need to pay your dues and understand that there is no overnight success. Learning to run complex real estate deals can take a number of years and you need to learn to crawl before you learn to walk. In addition, if you really want to reach the highest levels in this business you must master the art of building relationships and take a long-term view to be patient for these relationships to blossom.
Q. What is the most memorable transaction you have completed in your career?
A. The most memorable transaction was when I worked on a closing for the real estate investment trust, Vornado Realty, in its purchase of 37 Toys "R" Us stores across the United States for $171 million. The closing was actually 37 simultaneous closings which took three straight days and nights and a small army of sleep-deprived lawyers to facilitate. I think I drank more coffee during that three-day period than I normally drink in a month.
