Turning left, engine stalls??
Sometimes, like atleast once or twice a day whenever i turn left in my monte carlo it stalls, it never stalls just driving or turning right The car is a 1985 monte carlo with the stock 305
Anybody got any suggestions??
If it's carbed I would check the floats...both the rise and drop heights.
ok thanks ill check umm..yea it is carbed
Without actually being there to witness the problem and how the vehicle reacts I would agree with Kd5boc. I had a similar problem (usually stumble in acceleration or vehicle on incline or decline would cause flooding out) in a couple of vehicles it was the carb float. I would suspect in this case, given the age of the vehicle and assuming the carb was never rebuilt and the float was never changed to the brass type, the problem is the float. Quite a few of the GM OEM floats were made of some plastic material. (urethane I think) Over time they either absorb gasoline or somehow become as dense as gasoline and don't in fact float, they're kind of neutrally balanced. If I rebuild any carb and find this type of float I will replace it with a brass one.
Sounds like you need to adjust the carb. float level.
I recently had the same experience, except that my engine wanted to quit when I hit the brakes hard.
I checked the secondary float level and it was too high. Once I dropped the level the problem went away.
Does it typically stall if you have been sitting idling at a stop light? I would think the fuel level would be highest when you are at idle or near idle when the Power Valve is dumping fuel.
Thanks for the replys guys i havent had too much time to look at it yet tho been kinda busy!
But no it wont stall at a stop or idle or anything the engine runs really well its very dependable but its just when i turn left sometimes it will stall sometimes it wont even stall tho it will putttt than like catch itsself and keep running
Check your power wire that goes to the distributor, your main battery cable, your alternator output wire, tach signal wire, etc. Make sure they are not being moved by centrifugal force. Either out of contact with what they should be in contact with, or into contact with something they're not.
My Nova used to occasionally shut down on right turns, & it turned out the battery cable was leaning over & contacting a header pipe, & the insulation melted through, causing an occasional big short. A similar thing happened when the big red alternator wire sank onto the exhaust crossover on the intake manifold.
My car would run great, thought I had some weak valve springs it would spit stumble at around 4800 RPM. It got where it would die when I put my foot to the floor. The problem was my coil wire running behind the throtle lever under the hood. It would rub it caused a short. Every time I would give it more than three quarters throtle it would short out the coil. Check for wires that could move and ground out when you turn left.

Observe and Report - DVD
Type: Event | Date: Tuesday, Sep 22, 2009The Foot Fist Way director Jody Hill takes the helm for this Seth Rogen comedy concerning an ambitious mall cop who competes with a seasoned detective to bust an elusive flasher. Make a wrong move at Forest Ridge Mall, and you'll have to answer to no-nonsense security head Ronnie Barnhardt (Rogen). Ronnie sees skateboarders as the blight of society, and any shoplifter unfortunate enough to summon his wrath will be promptly busted and booked. Sure, Ronnie may suffer delusions of grandeur when it comes to his job, but perhaps with a little effort he'll eventually get to trade in his flashlight and patch for a gun and a badge. When a flasher begins tormenting the shoppers at Forest Ridge Mall, Ronnie seizes the opportunity to showcase his detective skills and impress gorgeous makeup counter girl Brandi (Anna Faris), who can't be bothered to give him a second glance. Perhaps by catching the culprit, Ronnie will finally earn himself a prized position over at the police academy. But the one thing Ronnie hadn't counted on was competition, and when Detective Harrison (Ray Liotta) of the Conway Police makes it his personal mission to nab the flasher, the two rivals begin working around the clock to crack the case before their counterpart. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

Featured Golf News
Louis & Scott Share Lead WGC-HSBC Champions
South Africa's Louis Oosthuizen and Adam Scott each carded 7-under 65s to rise to the top of the leaderboard in the WGC-HSBC Champions. The $7 million event began Thursday on the Olazabal Course at Mission Hills Golf Club in Guangdong, China.
Both began play on the 10th tee. The 30-year-old Oosthuizen carded seven birdies, while the 32-year-old Aussie posted six birdies, an eagle on the par-5 ninth hole (his 18th), and a bogey on the par-3 17th (his eighth).
"If I can keep doing what I'm doing on the par-5s, you know, hitting the fairways and leaving myself with the irons or a 5-wood or something, you've got a good chance," Oosthuizen said.
Scott was also pleased with his round. "It was a solid day that all of a sudden turned into a really good day," Scott said. "With five par-5s, it kind of sets up well for my game, and the plan is to just take advantage of the '5s' and hopefully hang in there with the leaders all week."
Tied for third after 66s are Phil Mickelson, Bubba Watson, Peter Hanson and Shane Lowry, while another stroke back sit Dustin Johnson and Thailand's Prom Meesawat.
Mickelson is playing competitively for the first time since the Ryder Cup four weeks ago. Like Scott, the 42-year-old four-time major champion ended his round on a high note with an eagle on his last hole, the ninth.
"It was a great way to finish with an eagle. I was hoping just to make birdie on the last hole," said Mickelson, who also carded four birdies on the day. "I think the reason I was so calm today was I drove the ball extremely well and hit every fairway."
Hanson is coming off a one-stroke win over Rory McIlroy in last week's BMW Masters in Shanghai. On Thursday, he continued his hot play with seven birdies and a bogey. If the Swede wins this week and pockets the $1.2 top prize, he'll overtake McIlroy on the European Tour's money list with only four events left.
"It's nice to get off to a good start, of course, coming off last week," said Hanson. "You try to save a bit of energy the last couple of days and try to be ready for today. I've been on the road now for three or four weeks. Just need to keep your head fresh and this is a very demanding golf course. You can make some easy mistakes around here."
Seven players opened with 68s. The group includes defending champion Martin Kaymer, Luke Donald and Jason Dufner.
Other scores included a 71 by 2011 PGA champion Keegan Bradley, 72s by Justin Rose and Brandt Snedeker, a 75 by 2006 U.S. Open champion Geoff Ogilvy, and an 83 by South Africa's Jbe' Kruger, who was in contention in last week's CIMB Classic in Malaysia.

Pastor Joel Osteen confirmed that an online resignation from the faith was all an elaborate hoax.
Online pranksters allegedly designed a bogus church website to spread the lie, complete with fake news sites, a YouTube video, and even a Twitter account that read, "There is zero evidence the Bible is the Holy Word of God."
The copycat website was accessible with a URL that spelled 'Osteen' with one 'e.' Ironically, users flooded the site and temporarily crashed it Monday afternoon. The site featured a letter in which a fake Osteen thanked Oprah, Larry King, his wife, and congregation in a farewell "I am leaving the Christian faith" speech.
The pranksters also questioned God's existence and announced a closing of Osteen's Texas church.
Responses to the fake announcement ranged from expressions of sadness to congratulations.
The mega church pastor was quick to deny the claims. On Osteen's Twitter feed, Tuesday, the pastor's staff responded, "It is a false rumor: Pastor Joel is not leaving the church."
"All is well. I still have my faith. Nothing has changed. I'm really not angry, I don't feel like a victim," Osteen said.
"People can't stop you from your destiny, a bad break, someone doing you wrong. If you move forward in faith, God will turn it around and use it to your advantage," he said.

Welcome to The Official Site of the BrilliantK9 Ergonomic Dog Harness. Thank You for choosing the Original Ergonomic choice for your dogs.
Please feel free to email us at firstname.lastname@example.com with any fitting/sizing questions. The fit of the harness is important for the harness to work correctly and ensure the comfort of your dog. This harness does not work like traditional Schutzhund style harnesses that are used for agitation work and to encourage pulling. Please read the below for an explanation of the difference.
As lifelong dog enthusiasts who have owned and trained rescue dogs of
all shapes and sizes we found a need for better designed, higher
quality, products that promote the long term health and safety of all
dogs, whether they are top performance dogs and/or your best friend
lying on the couch beside you.Particularly dissatisfied with
existing dog walking tools on the market, we consulted with veterinarian
chiropractors, dog massage therapists, rehabilitation specialists and
dog trainers as well as our friends in the dog agility and training
community.We asked these experts in dog health one question: "Is there any walking tool available that is ergonomic for the dog?"What we learned my not be surprising, because the answer was "Not Really".There
are physical drawbacks to all collars and harnesses that put pressure
on a dog's head, neck and ribcage. These tools also promote the pulling
and lunging forward that dogs do when they are restrained.So we
set out to design a harness that was ergonomically superior to anything
on the market and that would not encourage the dog's natural opposition
reflex (to drive their head down and pull). To meet our standards it
must also allow the dog to run, swim, play, compete or move in any
direction comfortably.With the help of our many advisors, and
feedback from our customers, we now make the BrilliantK9 Ergonomic Dog Harness, the most comfortable harness
available to your dog and you.Our companion animal's health is
as important as our own and our mission is to create ergonomic, high
quality products that meet their individual needs.We are
grateful to our customers who have chosen our products for their dogs
and especially to those who have assisted us in spreading the word about
the BrilliantK9 Ergonomic Dog Harness. Please see Reward Points in the menu above, it's our way of thanking you for letting people know about us.

The logic was that, roughly equidistant from Faro and Lisbon, it would offer an alternative entry point to the south. But opening just as recession hit – and about as far from the coast as you can get in Portugal and a good 150km from the Algarve – it is perhaps no great surprise that the airport has hardly been a success, with very few airlines using it even in peak season. If you are one of the few passengers to arrive here, the airport (t284 001 020, wana.pt) is around 9km northwest of Beja – a shuttle bus (15min) serves Beja after most flights, or a taxi to town will cost €12–14.

(JTA) -- Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu praised the European Union for adopting new sanctions against Iran.
Netanyahu, speaking Tuesday at the start of a meeting in Jerusalem with European Union member state ambassadors, called the sanctions "tough" and said Iran was "the greatest threat to peace in our time."
"These sanctions are hitting the Iranian economy hard, (but) they haven't yet rolled back the Iranian program. We'll know that they're achieving their goal when the centrifuges stop spinning and when the Iranian nuclear program is rolled back," he said.
The European Union Foreign Affairs Council on Monday adopted new economic sanctions against Iran that hit its banking, shipping and industrial areas.
"The Council reiterates its serious and deepening concerns over Iran's nuclear program and the urgent need for Iran to comply with all its international obligations, including full implementation by Iran of UNSC and IAEA Board of Governors' Resolutions," said a statement issued Monday by the foreign ministers of the 27 EU countries that referred to the United Nations Security Council and the U.N.'s nuclear watchdog, the International Atomic Energy Agency. "The Council condemns the continuing production of enriched uranium and expansion of Iran's enrichment capacity, including at the Fordow site."
The new sanctions come on top of an oil embargo imposed by the European Union earlier this year and new economic sanctions levied by the United States.

U.S. seeks legal protection for troops going to Iraq
WASHINGTON -- The Pentagon expects Iraq to agree in writing to legal protections for the military advisory teams that President Barack Obama is sending as part of an effort to stiffen Iraqi defenses against insurgents, a spokesman said Friday.
"I can assure you we will have those protections," the Pentagon press secretary, Navy Rear Adm. John Kirby, told reporters. He said U.S. officials are currently consulting with the Iraqi government about that issue.
Iraq refused to agree to such legal protections for a much larger number of U.S. troops that the Obama administration had proposed leaving in Iraq after its combat mission ended in December 2011. As a result, that residual force was never deployed.
Kirby said the U.S. does not need a Status of Forces Agreement of the type it tried to negotiate with Iraq in 2011. He was not specific about the type of written agreement being sought in this case but said he had no doubt it will be obtained.

Hey everyone!
When I first started writing I just sat down and wrote things as I heard them in my head. I never gave any thought to my writing style or any kind of writing detail. It wasn't until after I was published that I thought about these things… I know… that's really backwards, LOL!!
I started being asked about writing in first person and how and why I chose to write POV shifts (That's point of view for any non-writers). It never occurred to me that writing in first person or switching POV's was something not every writer does. Then I heard that sometimes readers didn't like to read books where the POV shifted… and I got nervous. (I'm a nail biter, and so my nails have suffered). What if people didn't like reading POV shifts, what if they didn't want to read in first person? Thankfully, most people have enjoyed it (and the ones who didn't haven't said much, lol). But still, people ask what the process is like to write with POV shifts and in first person. So this is my answer.
My Heven and Hell series is written in First Person. To me, I can't imagine writing any other way. Writing in first person really gives the writer and the reader a chance to get to know the character. When I write in first person I put myself in the characters head and write as them. Really, it's a nice break from my own internal dialogue…. I can be a lot to handle sometimes – even for myself. LOL.
Masquerade (Heven and Hell #1) has 4 POV shifts. Yes, it is a lot. I didn't set out to write it that way. It evolved. The first draft was all Heven, the main character, with no other POV shifts. Then as I was reading it I thought… this needs something. It needs more. Then I came up with The Hate and The Hope. Two unidentified personalities in the book that the reader gets glimpses of. They are strong personalities – strong characters – but the reader doesn't know who they are until halfway through. I think as you can tell from their names… one is good and one isn't. Complete opposites. How did I manage that? I wrote all of The Hate scenes first. I slipped into that 'bad' personality and really asked myself what my version of heinous was – what someone in that position would do and say and I wrote it all out. I found the places to insert the scenes (which are short – no more than one page) and I wrote. Then I went back to those Hate scenes and I followed them with a Hope one. Something that pretty much went against The Hate. So I stayed "in character" with each person I wrote. Then came Sam. He is a huge part of the book. My editor actually suggested writing a scene or two from his POV and it worked so well and added a whole other side to the story that you would never have gotten to see so I did it through the whole book. Every time I felt there was a need for more depth or explanation or action in came Sam. That's when I realized it. I hadn't known Sam at all. That really hit me in the face like a wet mop. How could I have written a book (actually the second in the series was done as well) and NOT know one of the main characters. I was appalled at myself. So I plowed into Sam's head and really got to know him. I won't lie – the first couple scenes I wrote of him were the hardest of the book. Sam has secrets… secrets and feelings he didn't want even me to know…. But I went with it and I kept working. And Sam came alive.
I think writing in so many POV shifts was very challenging but so useful in really getting to the bones of the story. I was able to understand the story from every angle and not just see it through Heven's eyes. I hope that it makes it a better – fuller story. Is it necessary for all books? Nope. Was it necessary for this one? I think so. Judge for yourself.
The challenging thing about POV shifts is making sure the book still flows and that the writing stays consistent. Just because the character is different doesn't mean the writing necessarily will change. The writing is what sets the tone throughout the entire book. The characters are what give it flavor.
In short (yeah, cause I'm so good at being short, lol) writing is like cooking. A little bit of this, a little bit of that all thrown together make on great stew. Its finding the right mix of ingredients that make the story.
So that concludes my thoughts on writing today. J What are your thoughts on POV shifts in books? Love em, hate em? Too distracting? Tell us how you feel…
EV: So, what do you think? I personally love pov shifts. I am sorta addicted to them, at least, for the moment. If any of you have read my stuff, you already know this. Since I love movies, and movies deal in a very similar fashion, jumping from character to character and scene to scene, I too have adopted this technique, and it works pretty well. So…any other authors or readers wanna chime in and try to prove me wrong? Either way, a huge thank you to the rockin C.H. for droppin by to entertain us and offer a bit of insight. Check out her books on amazon and look over her bio. She's pretty cool!

"[Paloma]'s like a little Ugly Betty mascot," Ortiz, 38, told PEOPLE at the Fitness Mind, Body, Spirit Games in New York City last week. "Everybody is constantly popping into my room to pick her up or talk to her. She has this whole other family at [the show], and it's great."
During takes, her mother and costar Mark Indelicato's mom watch Paloma, now 3 months old, whose father is Ortiz's husband, musician Noah Lebenzon.
Finagling FeedingsWhile filming season four of the hit show, the new mom has one on-set item she can't live without – a breast pump. "That's a horrible thing to say, but besides my mother, it's a must-have because if you've got a boob full of milk, you've got to get it done," Ortiz says with a laugh.
The nursing mom will often stop between takes to feed the baby, thanks to the watchful eye of the crew, who take note of Ortiz's expanding bosom as the scene progresses. "The team will be, like, 'Uh, Ana, do you need a break?' And I'll be like, 'What are you guys looking at?!' "
Family FirstOrtiz says she appreciates the family-friendly environment created by producer Salma Hayek, who has a daughter of her own, Valentina. "I think she set the bar," Ortiz notes.
Ortiz also finds herself setting a new bar of her own. "It's fashion week ... I used to want to go to this show and do everything," says the actress. "But this year, I want to stay home with my baby and my husband and hang out. It's not better or more mature, just a different perspective for me. And I really like it."

Sorry, folks we're talking movies again, because I just can't find any particularly enlightening game-related topic at this time. Okay, there are many game-related topics, I'm sure, but this is the perfect time not to talk about any of them. So, instead we'll be talking about movie director Ridley Scott. While that name instills absolute respect, it also brings to mind the many mistakes the guy made as a director. Mainly, taking on projects like G.I. Gane, Kingdom of Heaven, Robin Hood and Prometheus. Even Hannibal seemed like a pointless movie to me. All these movies weren't utter crap, of course, but they still can't be compared to some of his top work, which include the following:
- Alien
- Blade Runner
- Legend
- Thelma & Louise
- White Squall
- Gladiator
- Matchstick Men
- A Good Year - not brilliant, but a warm tale if nothing else
- American Gangster
Well, those are my favorites anyway. And here's a tip from the man himself - something both game developers and movie makers should take into account when setting up a premise for the stories they want to tell:

I will always hold that Robin Hood is a giant shit and should be remembered as a perfect example of how to take brilliant material (bought for a 7-figureprice) and then absolutely raped of everything that is interesting and cool. He took what would have been an absolutely fresh take on the whole Robin Hood mythos and then wiped his hairy ass with it. And it's funny, because he was no fan of any of the other Robin Hood movies, but he made THE WORST version of Robin Hood out of any of them.
Fuck Ridley Scott. His brother was a better and more interesting director then him, FSM rest his soul. I loved Alien, but Ridley Scott hasn't done anything I really liked since Black Hawk Down.

Sometimes life takes you on adventures you never thought you would have and one such side road in Wyoming led me to a legendary trail of wonder. I was returning home early one morning traveling along Hwy 120, between Thermopolis and Cody, and noticed a small sign for an archaeological site which I had never noticed before. Since I was ahead of schedule and the morning was sunny and nice, I took the turn onto Hot Spring County Rd 10, following the little direction signs. The road took me at 5 miles, where another small sign pointed to turn right onto a gravel road, Cottonwood Creek Rd. I followed it at 2.7 miles, all the while thinking I was just headed out into the prairie, when it curved to the left and through a small gate. I continued along and soon the road headed downhill, where I noticed a new little log building and nice covered picnic area. There was no one in sight but a large RV was parked nearby and before long, a caretaker came out and greeted me, "Welcome to Legend Rock State Archaeological Site ... it's a nice day for exploring."
She invited me into the log visitor center, where she soon had me immersed in the history and information of this unusual and sacred Wyoming site. For centuries, this area has been a place where Native Peoples have come and carved images into the tall rock faces along the creek bed. These fascinating images provide a glimpse into the physical and spiritual lives of those who lived in the region. Sites like these are said to be sacred places, to be honored by the descendents of those who created the images. The petroglyphs here at Legend Rock are thought to be over 11,000 years old, surviving both the effects of weather and time. Many native peoples still believe that the spirits of the images, even now, reside here within the rocks.
I learned that the local ranchers in the area, knew about the petroglyphs for generations but kept the place quiet, partly because they really didn't think people were interested and also to stop anyone from destroying the carvings. In the 1970s a group of people from Thermopolis who were interested in Legend Rock drafted a petition to make the area a Wyoming State Park. As a result of their efforts, in 1973, the property was put onto the National Register of Historic Places. In 1979, a portion was also designated as a Wyoming State Archaeological Site. In 2006 a multi-agency committee was formed to take up the tasks of protecting and preserving the site's resources. This committee has achieved many of its goals, including the removal of graffiti, in-depth documentation, site management and the establishment of a visitors center. They now have educational programs, as well as continued consultation with the Native American Tribes.
Legend Rock is a rare archaeological site, where archaeologists are using three techniques to determine the potential age of the petroglyphs. The first is Radiocarbon Dating. Petroglyphs are made by pecking away the dark outer surface of the rock, called varnish, to uncover the lighter-colored stone beneath. Rock varnish forms very slowly in the arid Wyoming climate and as the varnish reforms over the pecked images, it captures organic matter that contains carbon, which can be analyzed by archaeologists using Radiocarbon testing. Another method uses an electron microscope to analyze the thickness and chemical makeup in the layers of varnish. Only a few microns of varnish forms per thousand years and this process is called Varnish Micro-lamination Dating. Cation-ratio is another test in which the archaeologists focus on the rate trace elements leach out of the varnish coating the sandstone rock. By dating the varnish around the petroglyphs, scientists can make comparisons and thus help determine the relative age of the images.
With my head filled with facts and interesting information, it was now time to take the one-third mile loop to the petroglyphs site. A well marked dirt interpretive trail took me out and around the hillside, where I soon came upon the first of 15 numbered marker posts. The numbers on each marker are described in a wonderful brochure handed out at the visitor center, with descriptions and diagrams of the petroglyphs.
The wonder of this place and the images on the rock panels are breathtaking. Walking all alone that morning, I could hear the creek below me and the rustle of the lizards as they scurried among the huge tumbled boulders beside the trail. As I quietly walked along, each image drew me in, captivating my imagination and making me wonder about the person who took the time to hammer away the rock to create these mysterious figures. Many of the images were creatures with horned headdresses, which are considered a symbol of medicine or power among Native peoples. Often the figures originate or end at cracks in the cliff, which many researchers believe indicates a transition from one world to another dimension. Several bison and elk or deer are visible at panel #8. The Shoshone and Crow tribes believe that the elk spirit could provide a "love medicine" and that it could also make a warrior stronger. It is believed that Shoshone Chief Washakie had this kind of elk power.
I saw images of turtles, cat-like creatures and bizarre-looking figures that seemed to have smaller creatures inside of their large round centers. A group of pecked figures included a thunderbird and a horned man, standing beside a long-tailed animal with clawed feet. There was also a very distinct image of a fat long-eared rabbit.
Walking back to the visitor center, I couldn't help but believe that this truly is a sacred place, where human beings have come for eons to express their dreams and perhaps, touch the spirits of time. Just before I rounded the last rock outcropping, a sudden blast of wind tossed my hair out from under my hat ... and I remembered something I'd been told years ago while on a wagon train, "Walk softly among the spirits and listen, for their songs are but a breath away and you may hear them in the wind."
Today, I heard it at Legend Rock. ❖

A case of unilateral retinoblastoma diagnosed and treated as granulomatous uveitis is unusual and merits report.
Report of a Case
The patient, an 8-year-old white boy, was admitted to the Manhattan Eye, Ear and Throat Hospital on Aug. 6, 1957, because of increased tension in his right eye and what appeared to be an active granulomatous uveitis.The history revealed that five months prior to admission a white speck had been noted at the "bottom of his pupil" and a foreign body sensation was experienced. At that time the patient was living with his parents in the Azores where his father worked on an army project. Several other particles were noted on the iris during the next three weeks, although the eye remained painless during this period. The eye then became red and ointments were prescribed by an army doctor. As there was no improvement the child was taken to

So I'm in my college dorm and I can connect to the internet via hard wire. (Ethernet) When I test my connection I can get into the network, but I can't connect to the internet. Help!
Have words with whoever maintains the network in your dorm.
Ryder Cup: 10-6 up and you blew it? hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha. Oh wait you serious? Let me laugh even harder BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Yea contact your ISP or whoever provides the internet for you. This issue has nothing to do on xbox part but could possible be port issue. Just make sure that you contact them and you should be connected to xbox live in no time!
Got a question? Just send a PM and I will try to help you the best I can.
More than likely you need to register the MAC Address of your console with the IT department.
Hi, see if this helps:- www.unofficialguidetolive.co.uk/.../103-how-to-connect-to-xbox-live-at-uni-or-college
XBOX LIVE Connection Advice NAT/IP/DNS/MTU/ICS/Bridging Click 4 Help
Like ChimpZealot said - you need the MAC address of your Xbox360 registered with IT. If they are unwilling to register the extra MAC for you (assuming you've already registered your PC) then simply go into your Xbox360's network settings and set the MAC address field to use your PC's MAC address. The only downside to doing this is that you can only use 1 device at a time (xbox or pc) but this was what I did to get on xbox live when I went to college. Good luck!
p.s. if you dont know how to get your PC's MAC address do the following. Start > run "cmd" by typing cmd into the search box and hit enter > type "ipconfig /all" into the console that pops up
Your PC's network adapter MAC will be listed along with IP address and other network essential information

Godzilla on the rockpile?
For once in his life Hideki Matsui pursued his craft in obscurity last year and rewarded the Yankees with a solid season.
Now he'll turn 36 in 2009 and will be a confirmed DH for whomever he plays for, and the Angels are reportedly in the running.
Matsui was coming off injury last year and was somewhat forgotten in the fuss over Mark Teixeira. Yet he had 28 homers and 90 RBI last year and stole the World Series MVP award at the end because he just refused to quit hitting big home runs.
And he hit 15 of his 28 during the regular season away from Yankee Stadium.
Although he's lefthanded Matsui had a .976 OPS against lefties last year and hit 13 home runs off lefties.
If you're seeking consistency, Matsui hits .292 home and .292 away, .295 in the first half of the season and .288 in the second half, and .294 against lefties and .291 against righties for his career.
He has homered more often against Roy Halladay (four) than off anyone else.
Matsui also strikes out once every 7.86 plate appearances and his on-base percentage has ranked from .367 to .393 over the past five years. He has 416 career walks, 485 career strikeouts.
In other words, Matsui dovetails nicely into the midst of the Angels lineup card, and the only problem is that he's yet another lefthand hitter. Which means Kendry Morales needs to keep getting better from the right side, against left-handers, and it puts yet another pebble on top of that boulder that Brandon Wood will be carrying.
But Angel fans should hope Matsui comes here at whatever price. The budget is Arte Moreno's problem, not yours.

YOUNGSTOWN - Thousands of athletes are blessed with incredible talent, but it's what they do with it that determines their greatness.
Cardinal Mooney High School graduate Kyle McCarthy has struck end zone gold from all areas of the field, and from each phase of the game. However, his gifts alone didn't make him a champion in high school, a starter at Notre Dame, and a special teams performer with the Denver Broncos.
"Kyle has played for Notre Dame and is now a Denver Bronco, so his athletic ability speaks for himself, but what really separates him from other players is his determination," Mooney coach P.J. Fecko said. "His determination and dedication have taken him a long way. Kyle is the type of person that the more you tell him he can't do something, the more he's going to do it."
Article Photos
Tribune Chronicle / R. Michael Semple
Cardinal Mooney coach P.J. Fecko, left, and former Mooney and Notre Dame football player, now with the Denver Broncos, Kyle McCarthy, talked to Fecko during Monday's annual Camp of Champions.
McCarthy started 38 games for Notre Dame, where he established defensive records. He signed as a free agent with the Denver Broncos, and appeared in eight games last season.
That's impressive for any athlete, but McCarthy wants more, and he knows what he has to do.
"I just have to keep working hard and competing," McCarthy said at Cardinal Mooney's annual Camp of Champions football camp on Monday. "You can never stop getting better, working and fine-tuning your skills. Hopefully that all translates to success on the field, and winning games."
Fact Box
Kyle McCarthy file
2005 graduate of Cardinal Mooney.
Graduated Notre Dame with a degree in finance.
As a Mooney senior, he rushed 135 times for 1,273 yards and 14 TDs and completed 32 of 74 passes for 557 yards and five TDs at quarterback ... On defense in 2004, he had 70 tackles and five interceptions ... Returned two interceptions for scores at defensive back in 2004, including a record 93-yard return in the state championship game ... Made 13 punt returns for 240 yards and two TDs in 2004 ... Was MVP of the 2004 state title game ... A 2004 all-state honoree at quarterback.
At Notre Dame, he tallied 139 career tackles with 3.5 tackles for loss, three interceptions, two pass breakups and one forced fumble, and set school record for most tackles by a defensive back in a season in 2008.
McCarthy's approach comes with a solid sense of the challenges that face him.
"Everyone in the league is bigger, faster, and stronger - it's a whole different ball game," McCarthy said. "But that's why you play the game - to get on the field on Sundays, to compete against the best athletes in the world, and I couldn't be more excited about that."
With lofty goals set, and a plan in hand, McCarthy's National Football League future is on hold due to the lockout.
"It's unfortunate, and it's been tough on the players, the owners, and the coaches," McCarthy said. "But the players want to get back on the field and play football - that's what we love to do, and we're just waiting to hear the word to get back, and we'll be ready to go."
When the NFL gets rolling again, McCarthy will begin to acclimate himself with new Broncos coach John Fox, who took over for the fired Josh McDaniels. Fox led the Carolina Panthers for nine seasons prior to coming to Denver.
"I think coach Fox is great - he has a great track record and has had a lot of success in the NFL," McCarthy said. "Obviously he has a great football mind, and I really can't wait to learn under him, and win some games."
Fecko thinks McCarthy can go as far as he wants. Based on his progression, that could be pretty far, but the foundation will never change.
"I learned on this field that I apply every day," McCarthy said. "Cardinal Mooney helped make me the player I am, and wouldn't trade my experience here for anything."

ICREA / WorldProperties.com News
February 18, 2013
The price of single family homes has risen in some parts of Dublin but elsewhere the housing market remains depressed, according to the newly released Annual Property Report by the Society of Chartered Surveyors Ireland (SCSI).
According to SCSI there are tentative signs of recovery in the Dublin market. Existing three- and four-bedroom, semi-detached family homes in Dublin rose in value by 2.7% and 1.1% respectively in 2012, compared to declines of 12.6% and 13.65% in 2011. SCSI says that the mortgage interest relief deadline stimulated demand
in the fourth quarter, coupled with a lack of supply of family homes in
Dublin, led to a price rise.
While other Irish markets are not yet seeing growth in values, the new report indicates that the pace of home price declines in rest of the country slowed during 2012—some as much as by half.

Lets get a few of the basics about Wanda Sykes out of the way. Although youll probably recognize her from her days on The Chris Rock Show in the late 90s and appearances in films such as Monster-in-Law, Evan Almighty and License to Wed, Sykes waited until a few years ago to grab her biggest headlines yet.
If you go
What: Wanda SykesWhen: 8 p.m. FridayWhere: North Charleston Performing Arts Center, 5001 Coliseum DrivePrice: $35-$65For more info: www.northcharlestoncoliseum pac.com
There are not a lot of us, as far as openly gay African-American celebrities, so Im almost a unicorn when you think about it, Sykes said, laughing during a recent phone call with Charleston Scene. Ive always had a gay and lesbian following. Now there are just more of them, and theyre a little more vocal, as far as the I love you, Wanda! shouting goes. Its been great.
For her stand-up routine, Sykes doesnt shy away from her status. One joke harps on how much more difficult her sexual orientation is to handle than her race or gender, because you dont have to sit your parents down and tell them that youre black.
Sykes came out rather informally in 2008, during a same-sex marriage rally in Las Vegas. She married her wife, Alex, soon thereafter, and the couple now have two children together.
The life change followed a seven-year marriage to record producer Dave Hall, which ended in 1998.
You know as a kid at least I did but then you go, This is not cool. I cant be like this. Something must be wrong with me, explains Sykes of her sexual orientation. You end up in these relationships with the intent of being together forever and making it work, because this is how its supposed to be. And being gay is not what ended my marriage it was a plethora of other issues. But it just gets to a point where you want to be happy deeply happy. After the marriage ended, I even went to therapy and said, Oh, Im having these feelings. I dont know whats going on. And then I said, Thats right. As a kid, I knew I was gay. So all of a sudden, Im discovering who I am. Its a process.
Coming of age
Sykes early career rarely strayed from the what youre supposed to do guidelines set by society.
The daughter of an Army colonel based at the Pentagon, Sykes attended Hampton University and worked at the National Security Agency before testing her comedic skills at a Washington talent showcase in 1987.
Five years later, she took a leap of faith, leaving the NSA to pursue comedy full time in New York.
I knew that I was outspoken, but I had a lot of great setups and no punch lines, Sykes said of her comedic talent as a child. The setups just got me into trouble, and it wasnt until junior high school that I was able to deliver a punch line. All of the sudden, to teachers and classmates, I was the funny one.
Later on, it wasnt until after five years with the NSA that I thought, OK, Im in the wrong place. Ive always liked being funny and I want to work in comedy.
Sykes joined the Chris Rock Show writing team in 1997 after opening for the comedian at a club, ultimately winning an Emmy for her work on the show.
Over the past decade, shes starred in her own sitcom (Wanda at Large) and hosted a talk show (The Wanda Sykes Show), as well as holding recurring roles in Julia Louis-Dreyfus The New Adventures of Old Christine and with Seinfeld producer Larry Davids Curb Your Enthusiasm.
I get to yell at a rich white guy. Theres nothing better than that, Sykes said of her work on Curb Your Enthusiasm, an HBO show where actors play themselves and improvise around a loose script. Its pretty close to how I would react in a particular situation, but the reason I love doing that show is because Larry creates these situations that would never happen.
Although her live persona makes an impression, Sykes shrill and sometimes squeaky high-pitched voice has garnered her an entire second career as a voice actor in childrens movies (Over the Hedge, Rio and Ice Age: Continental Drift) and in more adult programs (Comedy Centrals Crank Yankers).
Recently, however, Sykes is back to pushing herself as a traditional stand-up comedian.
Her 2009 HBO special, Ima Be Me, followed an appearance as the featured entertainer at the White House Correspondents Association dinner.
In 2012, a PBS special revealed that Sykes ninth great-grandmother, Elizabeth Banks, was a free white woman who gave birth to a biracial child, fathered by a slave, in 1683.
Among known genealogical histories in the U.S., the Sykes family history marks the only known case of a black family rooted in freedom from the late 17th century to the present, according to historian Ira Berlin.
To find out that my family came from free negroes all the way back is pretty mind-blowing, Sykes said. I guess that explains why Im so uppity, and my love for white women.
Center stage
Since coming out, and amid an election year, Sykes has increased her community involvement as an activist and spokeswoman.
This fall, she hosts two election specials, NewNowNext Vote, on the Logo television network, aimed at shining a spotlight on the state of national politics through an LGBT lens.
Shes also an early stage breast cancer survivor, undergoing a bilateral mastectomy last year to prevent the disease from developing further.
On stage, however, Sykes wont rely on sexuality or activism for the bulk of her jokes despite appearing in Charleston a few weeks before the national election.
If a candidate said something really stupid that day, of course Im going to talk about it. I do a few political jokes, but the show is mainly about personal things. I talk about my kids and some social issues, and then I just tell straight-up funny stories, Sykes explains. Dont think that youre going to come to my show and its going to be an Obama rally.
Still, Sykes doesnt hesitate to share her political leanings when asked.
Despite admitting that shes in a tax bracket that benefits from Bush-era tax cuts for the wealthy, she said that shes all for doing away with them to improve the overall national budget.
As a black gay woman, Sykes has joked that the only way to make the GOP hate me more is if I sent them a video of me rolling around on a pile of welfare checks.
After performing in Charleston and Greenville, Sykes schedule has her flying directly to San Francisco. Similarly, her first show following the general election is scheduled for Windsor, Ontario.
Once I leave the South, Im like, Get me to the most liberal place ever, please! joked Sykes. Im not going to say something if I dont think its funny thats the primary reason why Im there but Im aware of the divide. I havent seen a drop in my street audience or felt any negative backlash since coming out, but I know that there might be people in the audience who know me solely from Old Christine or Curb Your Enthusiasm and say, OK, shes in town. Lets go see her. Hopefully Ill win some fans over. I do shows where people will boo if I mention Obama, but then theyll end up laughing because its funny.
In 2013, Sykes says she wouldnt mind getting back into television, perhaps with another sitcom. In the meantime, shes happy to be back in her element, on stage, with the freedom to truly be herself.
Im freer on stage than ever before. Im able to talk about anything, and theres nothing hanging over my head. Theres nothing to try and cover up, Sykes said. Since coming out, I feel like Im funnier.

Their names aren't being thrown around on ESPN or the NFL Network. They've never been inside the green room at Radio City Music Hall. They won't be negotiating multi-million-dollar contracts like some of their college teammates.
But Phelon Jones, Brandon Maye and a handful of other Mobile-area players have been looking forward to -- and working toward -- the NFL draft just as much as anyone else.
"All I need is a chance to get my foot in the door and I'll make it happen from there," said Jones, a former McGill-Toolen standout who played at Alabama, "This is pretty much the hard part -- the waiting game."
Jones and Maye, a former Davidson High star who played linebacker at Mississippi State, are long shots in this draft. Jones didn't start at Alabama, seeing action in nine games in 2011 as a backup defensive back and special teams player. Maye saw more extensive action, making 41 tackles in 11 games at MSU.
In much the same boat for today's final four rounds is Louisiana Tech linebacker Adrien Cole, another McGill-Toolen graduate, and Memphis defensive lineman Frank Trotter, a LeFlore alumnus.
Cole was the Western Athletic Conference's defensive player of the year after leading the Bulldogs with 128 tackles, including 13 for loss, but he's only 5-foot-11 -- not ideal for an NFL linebacker. Trotter had 61 tackles, with 13 for losses, and 5 sacks playing alongside first-round draft pick Dontari Poe at Memphis.
"They are going to be seventh-rounders or free agents," said one NFL scout who works the Southeast. "They're really going to get one shot. So when they get that one chance, they've got to be ready to go."
Maye and Jones were encouraged by pro day results, with Jones running the 40 in the high 4.4 to mid-4.5 range at Alabama and Maye running 4.7 at 242 pounds just four weeks after ankle surgery.
On Thursday, Maye and Jones watched Alabama safety Mark Barron, a former St. Paul's star, get drafted by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers with the seventh overall pick. Today, it's likely they'll see Williamson alum and UAB offensive tackle Matt McCants, a projected fifth-round pick, come off the board.
If they don't hear their names today, it's likely that some or all of them will be invited to NFL training camps as priority free agents. While other opportunities are out there, such as the Canadian and Arena leagues, both Jones and Maye said they're focused on following their dream to play in the NFL.
Jones has taken sound advice from his brother, Tiger Jones of the Arena Football League's Philadelphia Soul: "Don't give up," Jones said. "Don't let anything hold me back."
Maye, meanwhile, is confident everything will work out whether he sees his name roll across the screen today or not.
"It's going to be very relaxing for me," he said. "I'm blessed by God for even giving me the opportunity to be in this position. Whatever happens, I count it as a blessing. Wherever he wants me to be, I'll go and I'll blossom."

In the Jan. 19 edition, I read something that really troubled me. I'm sure others were also bothered by this article and I hope they speak up. I have lived in Dubois County for 29 years, but like to hear from my home county and area of St. Croix, where I grew up. I am related to Brenda Madden, whose article I'm referring to.
You may say that I'm biased and that may be true, but please indulge me.
I'd like to start by saying that I know and like Dale Groves and I don't think for a moment that he is a liar. I believe that he is convinced that the falsehoods in his letter (Jan. 26 issue) are true much like some folks believe in the Easter Bunny and Santa.
I will address his points but first a short story. Years ago I worked at a union factory that was considering going on strike. A public meeting was held at Tell City High School's auditorium and hundreds of members were present when the union rep, an unapologetic thug, began to speak.

I am interested in meeting with Perry County community leaders to discuss the Big Brothers-Big Sisters mentoring programs. Big Brothers-Big Sisters has been involved with Perry County youth since 2000 as a result of a 1997 Leadership Perry County class project.
This meeting is scheduled for 9 a.m. Feb. 17 at the Perry County Library.

I try to get to weekday church at least once every couple of weeks. Friday was such a day. I went because it was the feast day of St. Blaise and because I was happy to be on the upswing from a nasty bug of some type that kept me on my back the previous day.
It's on Saint Blaise Day that in some churches the throats of the faithful are blessed, usually with a pair of candles. Father Dennis did that after Mass Friday morning.
Why the throat?
Politicians today are often criticized for their unwillingness to compromise, but in many cases it seems they are merely following the examples of their constituents.
Last year when the Indiana Senate considered a ban on smoking in many public places, several health advocates — including the American Cancer Society — complained that the bill was too weak. Thus the Senate Public Policy Committee decided to vote the bill down and instead of a ban on smoking in some public places, it was banned in none.
The past two issues of this paper have reported concerns about the cost, financing and even the location of a new county jail by one resident. Well since it's the dead of winter and I have more time on hand than work, I figured I would add my thoughts on this matter.
First of all, the idea of building a new jail anywhere but near the present courthouse is a moot point in my opinion.
The added cost of transporting inmates, procuring land and developing it would make this a prohibitive measure.
By MARK WALLACE and IRWIN COTLER, Guest Columnists
Late last year, the United Nations' special rapporteur on human rights, Ahmed Shaheed, briefed the General Assembly about the state of human rights in Iran, and he painted an extremely bleak picture.
My father died the morning of Jan. 16. Losing a parent to a terminal illness has to be one of the most challenging things an adult can face.
My father, whose legal name was John but who was known by most of his friends as Paul, suffered from lung cancer for about two years. He died peacefully in his sleep and for a loved one who knew he wasn't going to get better, a quiet death is a blessing. I felt guilty saying that to myself and to others over the past week, but I no longer have any reservations.

Three Keys to Tulane vs. FAU
Tulane will certainly be affected by the hoopla in the change of coaching staffs at FAU this week no matter what the quotes say. It will give Tulane more confidence. But the danger is in being overconfident. Tulane was in danger of that anyhow after securing bowl eligibility for the first time in 11 years by defeating a team it hadn't beaten since 1968 (Tulsa). "I just hope the players mature," Tulane coach Curtis Johnson said. "We'll see the maturity of this team. It's a faceless opponent. You just play the game and you do what you love and you do your responsibility and it will be good enough."
When: 4 p.m. Saturday
Where: FAU Stadium(29,419)| Boca Raton, Florida
Records: Tulane 6-2, 4-0 in Conference USA; FAU 2-6, 1-4 in C-USA
TV: none Radio: WMTI FM 106.1 "The Ticket"
The Tulane defense has done nothing but deliver big plays the past few weeks, masking the slower progression of the offense. It will need another big-play day considering this a road opponent that could come out extra rangy after all the unrest this week. Jaquez Johnson can run and pass – he has six touchdowns in each category. But just how many more breathtaking plays can this Tulane defense deliver? "You have to feel like (they can do it again)," Johnson said. "They prove it to me week-in and week-out. Once they get down there, they tighten up and the field does shrink. I think we do a great job – Lionel and John – of scheming the defenses down in the red zone. And I think our kids are opportunistic. That's what we do. That's what we talk about, especially once we get down there. [Jordan] Sullen made a great, one-handed pick this last game. That's what they do. That's what they are coached to do."
Tulane can make some serious progress this week on offense by running the ball effectively. The Green Wave continues to improve its ground game, but it certainly isn't in the promised land yet. The Green Wave rushing offense sits 11th in the league with 127.9 yards a game. FAU ranks 13th in the league in rushing defense, allowing 215.4 yards a game. "Some teams have had some opportunities running the ball (against FAU) so we just try to take advantage of if we can," Tulane quarterback Nick Montana said.

UNIDO, Peru Discuss Renewable Energy, Environmental Protection
16 June 2011: Kandeh Yumkella, UN Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) Director-General, and García Revilla, Peruvian Ambassador to Austria and to International Organizations in Vienna, met in Vienna, Austria, to discuss cooperation in the fields of trade capacity building, environmental protection and the use of renewable energy.
At the meeting Ambassador Revilla expressed his country's support for the Vienna Energy Forum, co-organized by UNIDO, which is to be held from 21-23 June 2011. Also, in line with UNIDO's energy programme, Peru's efforts and progress in the field of electrification as a means of achieving the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) were recognized. The Government established a "National Rural Electrification Plan – Light for All" (2006-2011) to extend the national electricity coverage through the implementation of plans and electrification projects in marginal and rural areas, and by July 2011, Peru plans to provide electricity to over 11,000 villages, which would benefit a population of some three million. UNIDO expressed its readiness to cooperate with Peru in developing future projects in the field of energy and green energy.
In the field of environmental protection, they mentioned the approval in 2010 by the Global Environmental Facility (GEF) of a new Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) project in Peru. [UNIDO Press Release]

TN Brick Kiln Worker's Daughter Makes French Movie Debut
By S Mahesh
Published: 01st September 2014 06:18 AM
Last Updated: 01st September 2014 06:18 AM
NAGERCOIL: A poor girl's dream to make a mark in Tinsel Town was more than fulfilled when she got the chance to act in a major role in a French film. Thirty-year-old Janagi, the daughter of a brick kiln worker from a remote village near Aralvoimozhy in the district, bagged the role of Gracie in Son épouse (His Wife). Gracie experiences behavioral disorders as she is haunted by the memory of her French friend Catherine, the main character in the film.
But Janagi's journey to stardom was not easy. A performing artiste from Devasahayam Mount near Aralvoimozhi, she was the youngest of five children to Devasahayam, a brick kiln worker, and Virisithal, an anganwadi worker. "After completing my plus-two, I was compelled to go for tailoring and other menial jobs as my family was very poor. During that time, I was attracted to what my cousin Selvi did -- she was part of a local cultural troupe Kalari and she used to act in plays," said Janagi, speaking to Express. She later joined the troupe and learnt various folk arts. She was with them for three years, during which time she also managed to complete BA Tamil through correspondence.
When she joined another cultural troupe Murasu, she got the opportunity to participate in a workshop organised by the National School of Drama held in Nagercoil. The workshop helped her hone her acting skills and she later enrolled in a three-year full-time diploma course in dramatic arts at NSD and successfully completed the course.
In the course of time she got to know Prema Revwathy, who was a member of director Gautham Menon's production team. Not only did she get the opportunity to work as an associate director in the French movie Son épouse, directed by Michel Spinso, but Revwathy, who knew about Janagi's acting skills, also got her the role of Gracie, said Janagi.
Gracie is the friend of the main character, Catherine, a drug addict, etched by Charlotte Gainsbourg. After Catherine's untimely death her spirit enters Gracie.
"I learnt French to act in the film and the shooting was held at Puducherry, Tenkasi and Besant Nagar in Chennai," said Janagi. The film was released in Paris a few months back. Janagi knows 25 folk dances and is an expert in street theatre. Janagi also has brought to life a role in Malini 22 Palayamkottai.

Fatherless is a collaborative print posse from the midwestern United States. Our works are the result of 5 individual artists working cohesively with each other's artwork. Described as a visual mix-tape of shenagination, we combine our cultural influences in ways that finished works are not only unique to our collaboration, but unique among the editions of hand-screened prints as well; we make certain no two prints are ever the same.
Influences are many and certainly captured by what we have coined as a "Rust Belt Power Pop" aesthetic. Our finished pieces aim to mirror the chaotic and detached sense that is communicated in our current consumer driven social climate. A good portion of our imagery is re-contextualized from our current throw away culture to create a finished piece.
The name was decided upon based on the notion that each member, although responsible for bringing individual styles and influences to the table, will work on each and every print made. It's a process that involves working independently with each other's images. All prints have been worked on at some point by each member of the posse. We are not 5 artists that work "under" the name of Fatherless… a Fatherless print is made by 5 artists. Those five are Jarrod Hennis, Javier Jimenez, Greg Lang, Dave Menard, and Ben Rider.
We are pleased to announce that Print Club London has welcomed us into their family. You will find a small selection of prints available on their site NOW! Click the image for link...
Fatherless is proud to be included in People Of Print's self-titled publication featuring the work of more than forty-five of the hottest designers, illustrators, and collectives currently committed to the tactility, materiality, and visible craft of print, alongside the gallerists and promoters who are key figures in this creative scene.
