Rekindling the Moral Call to Action on Climate Change
By Jose Aguto on 05/23/2012 @ 05:02 PM
Many religious and indigenous traditions express the need for humanity's care for creation and concern about the dangers of climate change. They call upon "respect for the ecological integrity and the sacredness of the natural world" and for humanity "to relate to Earth as God's creation in ways that sustain life on the planet and provide for the needs of all humankind", for "irresponsible stewardship of the Earth and global warming threaten the pacific coexistence of mankind."
Climate change is harming peoples and communities now, and will have severe impacts upon our children and future generations and national security. As such, it is far more than just an environmental issue, but one in which we all share. Such impacts will become more severe and in some cases irreversible, if our nation's leaders choose not to discuss the issue, much less propose and enact the necessary solutions needed to unleash the human potential capable of solving this preventable crisis.
Today, in stark contrast to three years ago, the most conspicuous expressions about the climate crisis are by those who would deny it. Many who agree with the virtual scientific consensus that climate change is real and will have harmful impacts to our Earth and present and future generations, are nevertheless downplaying or not even speaking of that knowledge, sometimes to the point of avoiding mention of the phrase "climate change." Extant national policy and legislative battles involving reductions in greenhouse gas emissions are not of the kind of magnitude capable of directly addressing the immense challenge before us all. The national political approach to the climate crisis has flipped on its head, yet causes and impacts of climate change remain the same, or if anything have worsened. We are capable of solving the problem and the majority of the American people want action. Yet mere discussion of needed national and international solutions, much less action, is absent in the halls of Congress.
If you are supportive of this action, we are pleased to provide you with the opportunity to endorse a resolution to be introduced by Rep. Jim Moran (D-VA) and to call upon your representative in the House to sign on as an original co-sponsor. The resolution can also be presented to candidates for elected office as a marker for their commitment to addressing the climate crisis in ways commensurate with the impacts and threats it poses. A fact sheet elaborates on other dimensions of this effort.
We welcome any person's endorsement of this resolution regardless of affiliation – including political, religious, or lack thereof. The resolution enables people to express their deeply held conviction that unabated climate change will provide our children and descendants with a future that will be profoundly and unnecessarily difficult – a future we have the ability to prevent. American citizens can take this resolution to their representatives and others seeking elected office, as a tangible marker of a candidate's commitment to act in this and the next Congress.
This resolution is a plea to members of the House of Representatives, in affirmation of our common humanity and shared future and regardless of any affiliation, that the institution is essential to the enactment of meaningful national and international solutions. We have been reaching out to representatives of both parties to support this resolution with this non-partisan message. It is hoped that member support will result in briefings, hearings, and consideration of requisite legislative action that is currently absent within the halls of Congress.
We ask you to join this first step to rekindling action on the climate crisis, by joining this moral call to the House of Representatives to act upon it. We hope you will consider endorsing this resolution and asking your Representative to become an original co-sponsor. We cast this call as a moral one which seeks to move us all beyond political partisanship, so that all of us together, may use our talents to solve what is perhaps the greatest challenge humanity has ever faced.
The Gravity of the Climate Crisis Transcends Politics
The Friends Committee on National Legislation and other organizations of faith do not seek or welcome the politicization of what we view as a fundamental moral and humanitarian issue. The Earth is warming in an unnatural way - affirmed by a virtual scientific consensus of 97% - causing disruptions that are harming peoples and ecosystems now. If we do not exercise our ability to dramatically curb the amount of greenhouse gases emissions we are causing, the future impacts will cause even greater impacts, some of which may be irreversible. Seeking to prevent a future for our children and their descendants which involves food and water insecurity, drought, sea level rise, increasing threats to national security and world peace due to population dislocation, scarcer resources, and armed conflict across the globe is not, in our view, a partisan issue.
We have the capacity to prevent this kind of future for our children and the generations to come. We must act swiftly and boldly. Today, the cooperation and will of our nation's leaders is one of the most significant barriers to this necessary action. It is through this lens that we continue to reach out to members in both parties for sponsorship to work in true collaboration and partnership for the betterment of humanity's collective future.
The Moral Call Rekindles the Motivation for Significant Action
The resolution seeks to complement, not replace or diminish, existing efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions on the international, national, regional, state, tribal and local levels. The resolution explicitly states the message which is currently being avoided or downplayed in many of these efforts, but which is our fundamental reason to act: Climate change is real; human induced greenhouse gas emissions are the primary cause; these emissions are continuing unabated; the impacts of global climate disruption are and will be harmful to the Earth upon which we depend, and therefore to us in ways profound and unprecedented; and because our actions are causing it, our ingenuity, motivation and actions can and must solve it.
Understandably, this resolution is a modest step compared to just a few years ago when the nation was nearly posed to pass comprehensive climate legislation which would significantly reduce our greenhouse gas emissions, and propel the United States as a leader in international negotiations on global greenhouse gas reductions. Yet in today's vastly different circumstances, the resolution is a modest yet important step that enables citizens to express their deep conviction directly to their representatives in the House of the urgency of the climate crisis, and hold their representatives and other candidates accountable for their response to the intent of the resolution.
The resolution seeks to foster today, open discussions within Congress, on how to significantly reduce national and global greenhouse gas emissions, as such discussions have largely ceased. By increasing moral and popular support to act, our nation's leaders might once again consider, introduce, negotiate, and pass the solutions which we have the capacity to implement. It seeks to affirm growing awareness from sectors like the Pentagon of the threat climate change poses to national security, and complement the tremendous accomplishments and activities being undertaken in the regional, state, tribal, and local levels.
Why a Non-Binding Resolution Matters Now
Only a few years ago, the 111th Congress, responding to the will of the American people and concerns echoed in the national media, was actively considering legislative solutions through bills aiming to dramatically reduce greenhouse gas emissions, the major cause of climate change. If passed, international efforts to meaningfully reduce global emissions – the most critical act if we are to realize sustainability of our planet and a thriving future for future generations – might have been agreed upon.
Today is a film negative of the recent past. Our national political institutions and the media are practically silent about the gravity of the climate crisis, much less willing to respond meaningfully to it. If it is openly discussed in the national political sphere, it can come in the form of a political attack to repeal and legally void the scientific finding that greenhouse gases pose a danger to public health and future generations. Today, the very fundamentals of the science of climate change, agreed upon by 97% of climate scientists, and upon which 70% of the American people want our national political leaders to act, are often attacked by a Congress with historically low approval ratings hovering around 13% since September 2011.
President Obama just recently broke the Administration's self-imposed silence on the very mention of the phrase "climate change" in an interview with Rolling Stone magazine. His statements, welcomed by many, were published on April 25th just three days after his 2012 Earth Day proclamation conspicuously omitted its mention.
The profound causes and impacts of climate change upon Earth, the resources upon which we depend, and by inextricable extension, on present and future generations, are often not expressed as the fundamental reason to support clean energy development or other advocacy efforts. When the primary reason and motivating force for dramatic reductions of greenhouse gas emissions is not voiced outright, skeptics, particularly those who would profit enormously by inaction, fill the void. National awareness and understanding of the significance of global warming is unduly perplexed, pre-empting attempts to even discuss solutions and act in meaningfully ways.
In this atmosphere, troubling manifestations arise. During Earth Week, many representatives of the faith communities came to Washington D.C., and representatives in the Administration and Congress, regardless of party affiliation, greatly welcomed our visits, noting that for months, few constituents of any kind have been meeting with them to discuss climate change. Outside of the Beltway and in the national media, a nationally televised seven-part series was recently announced which documents the impacts of warming occurring around the Earth's polar regions, yet intentionally avoids exploring the cause.
The general approach to climate change (or lack thereof) has nearly flipped on its head. Yet the fundamental scientific causality of climate change has not, and our greenhouse gas emissions, the present day impacts and future projections, if they have changed, have largely increased and/or worsened. This resolution is a modest first step in establishing a healthier equilibrium between awareness, knowledge and action.
We Must Create a Space that Allows Human Ingenuity and Hard Work to Solve the Climate Crisis
Fortunately, the bounty of national and international level solutions for this climate crisis, proposed by some of the world's greatest minds across many fields and disciplines, remains intact. Through this resolution, we can create the space necessary for these solutions to be reconsidered, introduced, negotiated and implemented.
It is a modest but critical step which we must take, to begin again with very basic but critical steps, by expressly acknowledging the gravity of the climate crisis and by activating humanity's great potential and will to solve it. This resolution is but one opportunity to renew this moral call to our shared higher purpose, re-orient the national tone, and re-connect our Congressional representatives with our common purpose, so that they may participate in the solutions that will allow our planet, our children, and future generations, to flourish.

Ed Mathews: Rove should have plenty to say
Republican Party operative Karl Rove, who is scheduled to appear Wednesday at the Jefferson Society's Global Summit IV, caused quite a stir on Fox News on election night. A little after 11 p.m., when Fox News and every other news outlet called the race for President Barack Obama, Rove refused to accept the awarding of Ohio to Obama. He called it a "very early call," and seemed visibly upset. The other news reporters on Fox tried to explain the reasoning behind the decision to call Ohio for Obama, but Rove was having none of it. Perhaps he was remembering the 2000 race when the networks called Florida for Al Gore against his client, George W. Bush. That call was rescinded. No doubt Rove will be asked about his reaction during his appearance in Erie next week. ... There should be plenty of interesting political conversation at the Global Summit, as New York Times columnist David Brooks and political analysts Norman Ornstein and Barry Casselman join Rove and others on the panel. ... Happy 95th birthday today to John "Case" Fatica, who is hearty and hale and still works part-time in the office at Champion Bolt. We always enjoyed hearing Case talk about playing for the Erie Times Bluestreaks football team, which was coached by the late Kenneth "Red" Cochrane. Red always said Joe Barabas and Flip Bilotti were the two toughest runners to bring down because their legs went in all directions. Case told us that he believed he and Nick Marsello are the only two remaining members of that Bluestreaks team of 1933-34.
The USS Enterprise will return to its home port for the last time on Dec. 1 when it is decommissioned. The ship will take some time to shut down because it is nuclear- powered. We are sure that local sailors served aboard the ship over the years. Benedict Arnold captured the original Enterprise during the Revolutionary War. ... Betty Peebles, the longtime Erie Daily Times women's editor, turns 99 on Saturday. Betty is doing quite well and lives at Brevillier Village in Harborcreek. She is a great person who always keeps up with what is going on in the area. We have not talked to Betty to see what she thought of the Giants sweeping the Tigers in the World Series. In the 1940s, she became one of the nation's first female sportswriters when she wrote a baseball column for the Erie Dispatch-Herald. The Erie Sailors were a New York Giants farm team back then. ... It came as a bit of a surprise when the Erie BayHawks traded two top draft picks even before the season began. Perhaps the team's management knows something we don't know. ... Trent Richardson, the Cleveland Browns first-round draft choice, is looking better all the time. He was an All American at Alabama, and is now starting to play like one in the NFL. The Browns could use a few more players like him. ... The recent Erie Times-News story by reporter Erica Erwin about the possibility of developing East Dobbins Landing is exciting. Now that the economy is slowly improving, perhaps developers will take a serious look at that property as well as the GAF property, located west of the Bayfront Convention Center. Plans call for the building of another hotel in that area. We understand the Bayfront Sheraton is doing quite well. ... It was good news that there did not seem to be a lot of voting problems on Election Day -- at least not in Erie County. There were reports that some poll workers mistakenly asked to see ID, but it did not escalate into a major problem. The new voter ID law is not scheduled to take effect until next year. In Ohio and Florida, where voters had to stand in line for hours, those states clearly have problems that need to be solved. Obama said as much in his victory speech.

Training / Education Classroom Engineering Academies
This Engineering Academy covers a variety of vehicle noise control engineering principles and practices. Two specialty tracks are available: Vehicle Interior Noise and Powertrain Noise. While the Powertrain Noise track focuses on NVH issues generated by powertrain noise sources and the design strategies to minimize them, the Vehicle Interior Noise track focuses on the understanding and application of acoustical materials to optimize NVH in the passenger or operator compartment of a vehicle. Considerable attention is given to current measurement and instrumentation technologies and their effective use.
Training / Education Classroom Seminars
The sound package materials for vehicle noise control seminar provides a detail and thorough analysis of three different classes of acoustical materials – namely absorbers, barriers, and dampers, how they are different from each other, and acoustical properties that materials should possess for optimum vehicle noise control. The seminar addresses new advances in acoustical materials, primarily in absorption materials that impact the vehicle acoustics. The seminar covers ways to evaluate the acoustical performance of these materials using different test methods, including material, component, and vehicle level measurements.

Best thing I ever did
"We woke up at 5am for yoga and meditation before work. Surprisingly in the simplest of circumstances, it was the most peaceful and happiest I've ever really been. I've made some incredible friends here from around the globe, all of whom seem to vibrate at the same frequency as me and so it was beautiful and very easy to connect. This was my first volunteering experience and I would be surprised if it got any better. I cannot put into words the impact this project had on my way of thinking about life, myself and other people. It layed the foundation for the way I want my life to proceed, and it came when I really needed it. "
Alan, France
So inspiring!
A rewarding and inspiring experience. Permaculture, mindfulness, sustainability, and organic living, were topics I only read about but now I can say I have experienced them. People usually come and go in our lives but only few make a difference in our lives. Christian is one of those people. You have a man who can make a fortune through his talent yet he lives humbly and uses his talent for the good of others. He makes a conscious effort to teach his volunteers by setting an example in helping and growing a permaculture community and by challenging their thinking to attain personal and mindful growth and personal development.
Nils, Germany
I spent over 5 weeks at this home away from home and it was one of the most transformative experiences of my life. The people, the community, the work, the meditation, the yoga, the FOOD, the lessons, the dancing, interacting with the local community, teaching english, and the list goes on and on. Every day was a brand new experience. Constructing drip-irrigation systems, plastering walls, gardening, creating beautiful mosaics, going to a handful of Buddha days (AMAZING) and of course the amazing nightly talk circles and teachings from Christian being the highlights of every day (after maybe the food…).Don't take me wrong, here you will work, you will sweat, you will dance and you may even cry, but in the end you'll have the biggest stupidest smile on your face ever.
Emily, USA
So much love!
You have created a space where people feel welcome, safe, understood and accepted. You have created a community based on LOVE AND RESPECT where we help one another simply because we love each other, where even the work doesn't feel like work because we believe in what we are doing, and where we are free to be exactly who we are 100% of the time. You have made beginning or furthering a meditation practice and learning the way of Buddhist life accessible and attainable for us all. There is so much self love, love for others, mindfulness, hard work from the soul and true gratitude buzzing around and throughout this entire project and mission, that it is impossible not to be forever changed.

The sky is a crisp, clear blue on the second Monday of April as the cars start pulling into Walnut Creek Middle School's parking lot just before 5:45 p.m. Minivans with bike racks pull into the angled spots, along with cars and SUVs with racks on top and in the rear.
By 6 p.m., the parking lot is filled with about 60 women, who have three things in common -- bikes, lots of black Lycra and bodies that are ready to ride. These aren't granny bikes with big wide seats or mom bikes with kiddie racks on back, although they would be welcome. You'd just have a hard time keeping up with the 10 to 17 mph pace these women expect to clock in the next hour.
These are the women of Girls Gone Cycle, started by Jane McMaster-Thornton and Amy Smith five years ago. They ride every Monday, rain or shine, from April through August.
"It's truly just about fun and riding our bikes," McMaster-Thornton said at a March organizational meeting at Fox & Hound. "We ride at different levels. We're not a competitive group."
Sort of.
The group is divided into four levels, A through D, depending on pace and skill. All new riders start in D with McMaster-Thornton. That's where I was on April 8. Former U.S. Rep. Kathy Dahlkemper was riding in group C. Amy Smith typically leads the A group, which can ride 20 to 30 miles, including hills, during the evening. The top 20 percent of A rides on Saturday in the Tough Titties. These are the competitive women. The rest, as McMaster-Thornton said, are here for the companionship and the thrill of being outside.
You'll recognize friends and acquaintances here, although it's a little tough to get a good glimpse behind the sunglasses, helmets and bike attire. But you'll probably spot Traci Teudhope, the a.m. anchor on WJET-TV, Dahlkemper and a host of other women. Just check out the Girls Gone Cycle Facebook page for others.
"Truly, anybody can ride," Teudhope said. And why did Teudhope, who has been riding for four years, join? "It's a lot more fun, honestly," she said.
I got the fun part. But anybody?
My bike hadn't been out of the garage, except for the occasional ride around the neighborhood with my daughter, since I bought it to tow her around five or six years ago. A chipmunk had eaten the seat.
I took my bike to Competitive Gear, owned by Jane McMaster-Thornton's brother, Peter (who coleads the Tough Titties on Saturdays with Smith). A new seat and oiled gears later, I joined the girls at Walnut Creek. We were the last group out of the parking lot on our route, which changes weekly. Jane McMaster-Thornton rides the lead. A seasoned fellow biker takes the tail (or sweep job). McMaster-Thornton points out obstacles (ditches, bumps in the road) and our tail woman alerts us to cars.
Most of the newbies are doing a pretty good pace. I am not. Small inclines seem as large as the Walnut Creek hill on Route 5. Yet my flank is always protected and other riders slow down to give me encouragement. We talk about my bike (a little heavy), my gear work (needs work on shifting to keep a steady rhythm instead of the constant push, pull I seem to be dancing with the bike and the road), my seat (positioned too low) and my energy level (I ate, really, yogurt and fruit before leaving).
I make it a little more than three miles before declaring defeat, which, thankfully, they allow me to do. What I cannot do, however, is ride back alone. That goes against Girls Gone Cycle. So McMaster-Thornton rides/coaches me back to the school. ("See, here on the flat you are doing 14 mph," she said.)
She talked about riding with her granddaughters, the competitive nature of the McMaster family and the fun she has riding with other women, in particular this group. When I'm safely back, she lets me know I've completed seven and a half miles, and she hopes I'll return. They are true to their statement of purpose: "We have slow riders, fast riders, and most are somewhere in-between. We never leave anyone behind. Please remember this group was not created as a competitive group but as a way to encourage women cyclists and help them connect with like-minded individuals."
They do. And I will be back ... with a lighter bike. I hear that can make all the difference.

Day Two Reviews: Rich Homie Quan, Calvin Harris and more
Lollapalooza — in Chicago's Grant Park this weekend — is one of the few music festivals that has the potential to accelerate careers, and to put heavily hyped performers in their rightful place.
And that's rarely been as abundantly clear as on Saturday, when the day's big buzz act — rising Atlanta rapper Rich Homie Quan — was a bit of a bust. »Read Full Article

Shop the full By Terry collection here!
Summer is my favorite makeup season of the year. Not only does it mean cutting back on a few extra makeup products but also introducing pastel eyeshadows, romantic pink glosses and my personal favorite, bronzing creams and powders. European luxury brand By Terry's new products have really caught my eye this season for their amazing formulations and gorgeous shades. Here are the ones I'll be getting to create my summer makeup look for 2012.
I'm really picky about self tanners but have found a lot of luck with facial moisturizers that work to nourish the skin as well as build a safe and natural looking tan. The one I have my eye on this summer is By Terry's Serum Terrybly Sunbooster. Active ingredients work together to create a luminous tan 365 days a year, without DHA or sun exposure. Simply apply morning and evening onto cleansed skin.
Now that my tan is in check I want to enhance my cheekbones with a sexy shade and my favorite of the moment is By Terry's Blush Terrybly Ultimate Radiance Blush in Beach Bomb, a deep pinky coral with iridescent particles. The silver compact it comes in is so gorgeous but best of all is the lasting power. Blush typically tends to wear off after a long day but this highly pigmented yet sheer blush keeps a freshly applied appearance all day.
Eyes are a lot of fun to mix and match shades to really open them up and get noticed. One of my favorite eyeshadow types to work with are cream eyeshadows like By Terry's Ombre Blackstar Cream Eyeshadow in Paradise Island. What's so great about this particular product is that fact that it literally melts away onto the lid and has a ultra glossy and long holding film. You literally can draw on your shape like a crayon to give smooth application and the icy blue shade of Paradise Island is perfect for summer!
Lastly By Terry's Aqualip Jelly Tint in Dancefloor Flirt is a fuchsia pink lip stain. Somewhere between a lip tattoo and a color infusion, as soon as it touches the lips, it's jelly texture transforms into water to offer a real sensation of freshness. If you're game, try the latest 'color blocking' lip trend and use Dancefloor Flirt on the inner parts of the lips and a bright orange like Armour Beauty Opaque Lip Gloss in Lucy on the outer lips!
Hope this inspires you to create your own new summer look!
Say Goodbye To Unwanted Shine With Tatcha Blotting Papers! » -
Shop the full Tatcha Aburatorigami collection here!
It's the season for sweating and shiny looking complexions. There's not anything you can do about it except stay indoors within the safety of air conditioning but that's not really anyway to enjoy your summer. There's glow and then there's shine and only one of those is beauty approved.
Say farewell to shine with Tatcha Japanase Beauty Papers as seen in Vogue Australia. They're amazing purse size mattifying blotting papers that soak up oily shine instantly. Tatcha papers have actually been the geishas secret weapon for years! Each of these hand made papers contain charcoal that is impregnated into the lattice work of the high grade abaca fibers so the paper is still powder free and won't disturb makeup or leave any residue on the skin. Say no to unwanted shine this summer with Tatcha!
«Deborah Lippmann's Snow White & The Huntsmen Nail Set! -
Shop the full Deborah Lippmann collection here!
It seems like fairytales are making a huge comeback this year, at least in movie land, with two films that have come out both paying tribute to Snow White. A character created by the Brother's Grimm, she was brought to life in a Disney cartoon made in gold old 1937. But it's not just films paying tribute, nail brand Deborah Lippmann has just released a duo pack paying a lacquered homage to the battle of being 'the fairest of them all." The Snow White and the Huntsman Limited Edition Nail Polish Set comes with a 'good' lacquer, Prelude to a Kiss in a innocent sheer pink and of course the evil co-star, Dark Side of the Moon in a deep very wicked aubergine. You don't have to have lips red as blood, hair as black as night, nor a wicked queen after your heart to have this limited edition kit be all yours. All you need is $25!

2002 Dodge Dakota Club Cab 2dr Club Cab Sport 2WD SB (2.5L 4cyl 5M)
Buying this truck was the worst vehicular mistake I've ever made in my life. In the first 6 months, the truck had more problems than the last 3 vehichles I've owned all put together! What was the most shocking was Daimler/Chrysler's "We don't care!" attitude, resulting in my having to go to a lawyer to try and get some kind of satisfaction over what has been the most unreliable, annoying, untrustable truck I have EVER seen in my life! Then, of course, the warranty- there's always a way out for them so they don't have to honor it. Cheap parts, shabby construction, little to no inspection of finished product. My advice? Don't buy a Dodge truck. They sure aren't what they used to be
It looks nice, sitting still and not running.
Overall, a decent truck. When it stays
out of the shop i love it. but it has
spent a lot of time there. My truck has
about 32,000 miles on it now and i have
to take it back for its second set of
ball joints. In 2003 its spent about 3
months in the shop for mechanical and
engine malfunctions. Dodge's customer
service was terrible. At four different
dealerships i was not allowed to get a
rental car paid for which i think was
wrong considering how little i got to
drive the vehicle. I know a lot of
people that have Dodges and dont have
the number of issues that i had, but
after this truck i will be going back to
toyotas and/or nissans for dependablity
I really like the styling on this truck.
of course, its an R/T, whats not to
like? it handles very well.
First, fix Dodges customer support at
the dealership. They leave you high and
dry. Second, its a 5.9...give us some of
the horsepower that this engine is
capable of producing. i get 12mpg for
only 250 HP. There are 6 cylinder
Accords that get more horsepower than this.
Overall the truck is great. I did not
want a huge full-size truck, but wanted
a V8. I love the looks of the truck
and it handles real well. It has
plenty of power for a mid size truck.
The 230 horsepower engine! This little
truck really moves with this engine. I
installed dual-exhaust and really
noticed a difference in improved gas
mileage and horsepower. Also, that
little V8 really roars now. There's
nothing like that Mopar sound!
Stiffer rear springs. In my Toyota
Tacoma and couldn't tell when I had my
motorcycle in the back. The Dakota's
rear springs get slightly mushy with
the bike in the back, but not much.
The bed ties downs aren't in the best
locations, on the floor.
i just purchased the club cab sport a
week ago. great comfort, doesn't have
that overwhelming truck feeling
inside. good get up and go,however it
seems to lose torque when the AC is on
but i've heard this about most
vehicles. great solid all around
build yet a cool sporty look. but it
is a gas pig!!!! and i only have the 6
cyl. otherwise good tough truck that
handles the pot hole filled new orleans
streets wonderfully.
toughness with slick look. power.
fuel economy...(if only gore were
president...) a little pricy for a mid-
size pick up. otherwise a great all
around truck
I dont own one, but i was able to drive an R/T model around my town for a week to see if i wanted one. This is perhaps the greatest vehicle on earth.
The whole thing, especially the 5.9L
It really sucks gas, but thats what you get if you want the performance.

Historical Traveler Reviews The Veranda House Nantucket
Not all its cracked up to be
The decor is fine and the location good, but all is really thin. The "great" sheets are not pressed, or changed during our stay. Our piece of soap was tiny.
Our room (10) was large with 3 good windows as promised. The bath small, cleaned up and remodeled, but more like my attic than luxury.
The breakfast was not good. All carbs. All baked goods to sweet. Yes, the quiche was icy, and tooo salty. We ate a great breakfast at the Fog Island Cafe on the last day.
Nantucket is expensive so I guess the $ 750 I paid 2 months in advance was fair, but the "luxury" is somewhat thin.
The inn stunk
False advertising and this would be fine place for young college students who want to get a room somewhere and don't have any expectations. Horrible set up here. Came into our tiny room to find a man's rear-end staring me in the face on a tiny excuse for a balcony right outside OUR window (only window). No fans, no nothing. The owners have much to learn.
Already booked my return trip
The staff was exceptionally friendly and attentive and our room was perfect. Plus, the harbor view from the top deck was amazing. We didnt stay on the top floor but we walked up to the top veranda each day to take in the view. And we loved being able to walk two streets over to all the restaurants and shopping in town. We're coming back for longer next time. (and I bought one of the same beds they have for our apartment)
The Veranda House: Gentle on the Mind/Body/Soul
The best in Nantucket Hospitality is to be found at the Veranda House...In one of many pleasant exchanges with Ethan Devine, the inn's owner--and a fourth generation Nantucketer--and his wife Alexis, I gained valuable insights into this very special place on this very special island...The management and staff are the most friendly, proficient, responsive and genuinely courteous people to be found anywhere.
The decor reflects an Asian/Shaker fusion which offers a peacefulness and harmony of design that soothes the nerves and the soul. Simple pleasures abound: down comforters, frette linens, and the most comfortable bed I've ever slept in, bar none.
Each evening, the tireless staff bakes all the delectible goodies for the next morning's continental breakfast, from scratch, using recipes from the Devine family's gourmet island recipe archives. YUM!
My husband and I can hardly wait to return this summer. Oh, and the chamber music afternoon concerts on the shady veranda were so memorable. We made numerous new friends and acquaintances with other Veranda House guests during our weeklong stay.
The quaint old fashioned feel of the Veranda House has not been compromised. A true get-a-way, with little to distract from the natural beauty of sun, sand, and sea, with easy access to the historic shopping district.
Feels like family here! More homey than home.
Beyond Charming
My husband and I enjoyed a wonderful Memorial weekend at The Veranda House. The Inn is simply charming and we have never been so relaxed. I especially loved the updated decor, organic yet contemporary - which is so refreshing in such an amazing historic building. We also enjoyed how central we were to town and it's many quaint shops and resturaunts. Finally, the staff was very accomodating and they make a sweet tea that would make any true southerner proud. We have already booked Memorial weekend 2004.
The Veranda House is Nantucket
Beds like butter! Delicious food and ample shopping just minutes to town. Evening sea breezes, relaxing porch brunches, afternoon swims on pristine sandy beaches, shop till you drop, bike rides through natural preserves and great staff support. Looking foward to our next visit this summer.
Wonderful newly renovated place
The innkeepers were really welcoming and the beds were comfy and new.
Veranda House was Perfect
We've been going to Nantucket for years and this is our favorite place yet. It was perfect for us to relax on the porch or in the gardens.
We'd never had that sort of open common space at a B&B before. I'm not sure what the guest from Kentucky was talking about with the breakfast, which my wife and I thought was outrageously good. And our room was gorgeous. The frette sheets were tops! We'll definitely be back.
Disappointed in Veranda House
While the Veranda House looks charming in the ads and online, we were disappointed in the accomodations. The beds were great but that's about it. We had to share a bathroom,(4 people) which was the size of a closet. The shower was so tiny you couldn't move, and there was no tub. There was no water carafe or any other access to a beverage to be had in the whole place. Breakfast each morning was included, but the quiche was ice cold. The staff were very friendly and the entire place was kept clean. Fresh flowers were in each room, but we had no access to telephones, television (not that we wanted it), radio, or any kind of music. Also, we were required to be quiet after 10 pm! Overall, I've been to better Girl Scout Camps.
Loved the Veranda House
The Veranda House was amazing. Its the only affordable place on Nantucket with a fresh, modern look- no fru fru. The most comfortable bed I've ever slept in. The verandas and gardens were so relaxing and the view from the top deck is the best i've seen on nantucket. Staff and owners very friendly- we're definitely going back.

Book recounts shooting that (almost) made Milwaukee famous
If not for a copy of a long-winded speech and a spectacles case, Milwaukee's Gilpatrick Hotel could have been another Ford's Theatre — or Dealey Plaza.
Instead, the spot on Old World 3rd St. near Kilbourn Ave. — today, the home of the Hyatt Regency Milwaukee, but on Oct. 14, 1912, where a gunman shot and wounded former president Theodore Roosevelt — is barely a historical footnote. (The Old World 3rd St. entrance to the Hyatt features a plaque and some front-page reproductions from the day.) »Read Full Article

Cedarburg native Josh Thompson unveils video for 'Wanted Me Gone'
Just in time for a concert swing through his home state, Wisconsin's biggest national country star, Josh Thompson, has released the video for his new song, "Wanted Me Gone." The song is the second single from Thompson's sophpmore album, "Turn It Up," which was released in April. It is already following the first song, "Cold Beer With Your Name On It" toward the country radio top 40.
The song is a classic country kiss off with a catchy groove. The video finds Thompson addressing his ex from the tailgate of a pickup filled with his belongings and sitting defiantly in a lawn chair under a window with his clothes - and even a whitetail archery target- raining down on him. »Read Full Blog Post

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sindos (Greek: Σίνδος, Latin: Sindus) is a suburb of Thessaloniki, Greece. It is home to the Alexandrio Technological Educational Institute of Thessaloniki and the Industrial Zone of the city. The suburb is part of the municipality of Delta.
In antiquity, Sindos was noted by Herodotus (vii. 123); and Stephanus of Byzantium as a maritime town of Mygdonia in Macedonia, between Therme and Chalastra.

Xbox One
enterthedraygon 2 years ago#1
The XBox 1 came out with the kinect in mind. It's just unfortunate that they took it away to have a little bit better processing speeds because i think it could be exceptional in the future. So they are playing a different game with a console a year old. Not very organized or effective..., but microsoft as much as everyone hates windows 8 is still the leading software company in the world, and is has always been a step ahead of everyone else.
So based off of X1's recent history do you think they are going to think of the future with their 1st prototype or do u think there is a new console in the near-future. There have been many rumors about Esram being the new thing, but yet studies haven't supported it as of yet. Also does it matter if we have a few pixel loss in future games? What's your thoughts?
Xbox One has better online multiplayer, which is the future.
But PS4 has better graphics.

Wrong. PS4 has better online. Not only that but it has better hardware.

Not to mention an actual plan and structure for the future. Microsoft is struggling to develop a plan and identity for the present.

well seeing Wii U isn't trying to be a budget PC from 5-6 years ago. I'd say Wii U is future proof, seeing you can get better hardware with PC.

Yet PlayStation has PS+, PS Now, Share Play... Those are awesome and MS has no response to two of them.
Share Play is a huge feature. It enhances a better multiplayer experience with online friends, it is the next generation multiplayer experience.
MS was well and good last gen, this gen they couldn't even get party chats working properly.
They are now missing a huge multiplayer experience on their platform.
Unbearable is it? The suffering of strangers, the agony of friends.

As the owner of both consoles initially, I agree that the multiplayer is better on XB1.
The main problem was that I owned only a 360 last gen. When I moved my 11 year old XBL account to the XB1 it carried over all friends plus the friends that got the XB1. (surprisingly, a good amount.) With the PS4 I had to buy membership right away to play Killzone online and had zero friends to get in with.
Mulitplayer is better enjoyed with friends so after hearing 2 of my best friends in real life bought XB1 I let my PS4 go in favor of a slightly weaker, but overall more enjoyable platform.
Used the money from my PS4 to jumpstart my XB1 game collection without having to take a hit in the wallet.

PS4 is definitely set up better for the future, not because of the slight hardware superiority, but because of the poor public relations catastrophes that follow MS around. They've lost this gen on behavioural soft skills and not on any hardware inferiority. Both consoles are about as powerful as a five year old PC. MS blew it last year and now the gap is too large to recover from I feel. The damage has been done. This joint MS/CD situation has just made things worse.
Thanks for the response and have a blessed day.

Well in all fairness the hardware in both of these is crap compared to top of the line gaming PCs, but both consoles are close enough to each other that only idiots that dont know anything about computer hardware and specs would argue that.
People said the PS3 had the best hardware, but almost every multiplat game looked and ran better on the 360. And then when you look at the best looking exclusives on each, they arent very different from each other.
The fact is unless there is VAST differences on many fronts within these consoles, you would never notice or care much about minor differences. Only fanbois claim they can actually notice this stuff which is just laughable and shows their true colors, like the guy you responded to who is obviously not the brightest in the world. Probably still trying to feel better about that $400 he spent when all Sony had to show at gamecom was downloadable indie games and MS had a lot more retail games to show. That must sting.

Anderson is 37, he's a natural Middleweight and Jones is a natural heavyweight. I don't care to see this fight.
Anyone who knows anything about mma knows how this fight is gonna go. Jones wouldn't dare stand with Anderson. He'll just spam him with take downs and ground and pound him. If Jones doesn't win by tko, he'll win by a 5 round boring fight of which 24/25 mins will be spent on the ground.

anderson said years ago that he won't fight for the 205 belt. because it's for machida to own.
jon is the 205 belt holder.
he fights jon, he takes belt.
machida would then have to fight anderson for the belt.

1. This isnt boxing rtard. the weight classes are separated by 15-20 pounds. not 5 like boxing.
2. He trains with Rafael Cavalcante, Lil Nog and Machida. Their camp is like family they will never fight.
Though Anderson probably has the best shot at knocking jones out on the feet the reach advantage and size disadvantage are still ridiculous like it was said jones is a natural heavyweight silva a natural middleweight. So crappin on a guy who wont fight somebody 30-40 pounds bigger then him on fight night with reach and size then calling him a coward just makes you another rtard just bleed guy.
Why do people continue to forget this is a short notice fight against the best option available at light heavyweight. Bonnar is on a 4-5 fight winning streak.

We interrupt whatever it was you were doing to bring you some important breaking fluff. We just broke it out of the fluff machine. Come one, come all. It doesn't come any fresher.
A few of us were sitting around the old virtual newsroom recently, and it comes over the ticker that we needed some inches on which MMA fighters could be compared to different beverages. Like so-and-so would be Diet Sprite, so-and-so would be a Buttery Nipple and so forth.
So I did what any self-respecting slideshow writer would do. I immediately spun out of my chair and started hitting the pavement. That's one of the main ingredients in fluff. But you have to crush the pavement up before you can make fluff with it, so I keep bats around. It's all in a day's work, you know? Save your accolades. I'm no big hero.
Anyway, here it comes. Ten active MMA fighters and the beverages they would be, if they were beverages. No beverages were harmed in the making of this fluff.

I have a Python web scraper code which works perfectly fine and is well documented so easy to read.
It's only problem is that it doesn't ready a certain type of links. I want to fix that. So probably it is one function or two that will be modified.
Urgently needed today.
Limited budget = $20.
Please ask to take a look at the code before you start working on it so that you won't complain that it took too much time and the amount paid is not enough. That's all I can afford, take it or leave it from the start.

Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light Gets Online Co-Op and 'All the Trappings'
Written Tuesday, October 26, 2010 By Richard WalkerView author's profile
It's been a long time getting here, but from tomorrow you'll finally be able to play Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light with online co-op.

Keep your eyes peeled for it on the Xbox Live Marketplace tomorrow.

Jill Cataldo: Coupon photos problematic
When a coupon carries a declaration that it's good on any variety of a product, you'd think that explanation would be sufficient. Coupon shoppers know that while a manufacturer may show a specific variety of a product on a coupon, the text contains additional information about the different sizes, kinds and varieties of the product they may purchase using the coupon.
For example, a coupon might show a particular tube of toothpaste, but the small print can explain that it is good on any variety of that particular brand -- mint, cinnamon and any other flavors, too.
Dear Jill: I had a $2 coupon for any men's deodorant of a certain brand. The coupon did not say "excludes trial or travel sizes," so I went to the travel size bins and found the same brand of deodorant. It was 97 cents, so I was looking forward to getting it free. But the cashier said "No, I won't let you use it on this size because it shows a big one in the picture." -- Connie D.
Dear Connie: Rest assured that if the manufacturer wanted to prevent shoppers from using the coupon to purchase a trial or travel size of the deodorant, the coupon would have spelled out this restriction. If the cashier had simply scanned the coupon for your deodorant, the register would likely have allowed it.
Dear Jill: I tried to use a coupon for a name-brand 5-blade razor. The coupon stated it was good on any 5-blade razor of this brand. So, I got a razor that came with a few extra things like a tiny bottle of lotion and shave gel attached to the same package. The razor was $5 and with the $4 coupon the price was just $1. The cashier and a manager told me the coupon wasn't good for the razor I chose. Can they deny me using the coupon just because they say so? -- Heather S.
Dear Heather: Should the cashier and manager have allowed you to use the coupon? Absolutely! I've used coupons on products with free trial sizes of other products attached. If it had been a tube of toothpaste with a smaller, free travel-sized tube attached, would the cashier have balked? It's difficult to say. However, a retailer has the discretion to deny use of a coupon. Some stores' policies allow employees to deny coupon use at their discretion.
Here's one way to alleviate any cashier confusion at the checkout. If you find yourself in a similar situation in the future, simply ask the cashier to try scanning the coupon. If the coupon states that it's good on any variety of the product, it will scan and be valid for all of the product codes and UPCs for that product.

OWINGS MILLS, Md. - Rookie quarterback Joe Flacco will start in the season opener Sunday for the Baltimore Ravens, who awarded the job to their top draft pick because he's the healthiest player at the position.
Flacco, the 18th pick overall, will launch his NFL career against the Cincinnati Bengals. There is a chance the two other quarterbacks competing for the job, Troy Smith and Kyle Boller, both will not be available as backups.
"It wouldn't be realistic to have one of those two guys as a starter, for sure," coach John Harbaugh said Monday.
Smith is still feeling the effects of infected tonsils and Boller has a sore shoulder that could ultimately require surgery. In an effort to add depth, the Ravens worked out quarterbacks Chris Simms, Joey Harrington and Todd Bouman on Monday.
Johnson coy about name change
CINCINNATI - Receiver Chad Johnson declined to say Monday whether he will try to get the Cincinnati Bengals to put "Ocho Cinco" on the back of his uniform this season.
Johnson had his last name legally changed to "Ocho Cinco" - the moniker he gave himself based on his No. 85 - last week in Florida, where he lives. He declined to talk to reporters on Monday about the reason for it.
Broncos make Labor Day moves
ENGLEWOOD, Colo. - The Denver Broncos spent Labor Day juggling their secondary, claiming hard-hitting safety Calvin Lowry off waivers from Tennessee and trying to trade nickel back Domonique Foxworth.
Upon arriving at team headquarters Monday, Foxworth was told to go home and await word on his destination.
