Two men cited in investigation into bear shooting in KillingtonStaff Report | August 25,2014KILLINGTON—The investigation into the shooting of a bear in a residential Killington neighborhood has led to charges against two men.
Scott Keefer, 24, of Killington, and Aaron Roucoulet, 20, also of Killington, were cited for taking a bear by illegal means, according to a press release from the state Fish & Wildlife Department.
The charges stem from an investigation into the shooting of a black bear killed on Anthony Way, a residential area in town, earlier this month.
The bear wandered into the backyard of Wade Collins before it died. Collins said he found the bear several days later because of the smell.
Warden Timothy Carey was called to the scene and conducted the investigation.
Carey determined that the bear had been shot and killed with a rifle, according to the release issued Monday.
On Aug. 22, game wardens issued a search warrant for a Killington residence that was nearby to where the bear was found, the release stated.
Evidence found during the residential search combined with information gathered during the investigation led to the two arrests, according to the Fish & Wildlife Department.MORE IN This Just InMerchants Bank will merge with a New York-based bank, according to a statement issued Monday on...

Hepatitis E Virus in the Countries of the Middle East and North Africa Region: An Awareness of an Infectious Threat to Blood Safety
|Visit for more related articles at Clinical Microbiology: Open Access
Introduction: Hepatitis E virus (HEV) is mainly transmitted through contaminated water supplies which make the virus endemic in developing countries including countries of the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region. Recent reports suggest potential risk of HEV transmission via blood transfusion particularly in endemic areas. Materials and Methods: Related articles on HEV were collected by searching through the 25 countries of the MENA region using Pubmed and Medline within the past 14 years: January 2000-August 2014. Results: One hundred articles were extracted, of which 25 were not eligible. The articles discussed the seroprevalence of HEV and HEV markers in 12 countries. Eight articles provided data on HEV in blood donors. The seroprevalence of HEV in the general MENA population ranged from 2.0%-37.5% and was higher in males than in females. Prevalence increased with age, but exposure seems to be in early life. Discussion: In the MENA region the role of HEV as an infectious threat to blood safety is under-investigated. More data are needed to quantify the risk of transmission and to assess clinical outcomes. This requires, at least, surveillance screening of donors and recipients for HEV markers using sensitive and specific serological tests. At the present time, serious consideration should be given to selective screening for certain groups of patients (e.g. immunocompromised, pregnant women and others) who commonly require blood transfusion and are at high risk of hepatic failure or chronicity from HEV infection.
|Hepatitis E; HEV; MENA region; Epidemiology; Blood safety; Blood donors
|Hepatitis E virus (HEV) is a small (27-34 nm); non-enveloped, icosahedral, single stranded RNA virus of approximately 7.2 kb in length. Analysis of its RNA helicase and RNA-dependent RNA polymerase region shows that the virus forms a phylogenetically distinct group that was recently placed into a separate genus, Hepevirus in the Hepeviridae family [1,2]. The family contains mammalian HEV and a more distant avian HEV [3]. Phylogenetic analysis of the mammalian isolates showed that there are 4 major genotypes (genotypes 1-4) and several sub genotypes [4]. Each HEV genotype appears to have a specific geographic distribution: Genotypes 1 and 2 are restricted to humans and are mainly responsible for large waterborne epidemics in Asia and Africa [5] while genotypes 3 and 4 are found in human and animal reservoirs (swine, wild boar, deer, mongooses) and are mainly responsible for sporadic cases of HEV in developed countries [6,7]. The incidental discovery of a novel swine virus closely related to human HEV in 1997 [8,9] was extremely important to studying the epidemiology of HEV. In recent years, autochthonous (locally acquired) zoonotic hepatitis E has been found in many developed countries in Europe, New Zealand, North America (all genotype 3) [10-12] and Japan (genotypes 3 and 4) [13]. It is now believed that HEV in developed countries is zoonotic and food-borne, mainly associated with eating uncooked or undercooked meat or viscera of deer, boars and pigs or by exposure to infected animals [14,15]. This route of transmission in the MENA is unlikely since pig farming is prohibited in the Islamic culture, as is the case in most countries of the region. Furthermore, boars and deer hunting are not commonly practiced in MENA. HEV is currently the focus of greater attention worldwide and the number of HEV-related articles has more than doubled in the last 10 years.
|Seroprevalence of HEV
|Rates of IgG positivity in a certain area are believed to be a reflection of the frequency of HEV infection in that area. However, estimating the burden of HEV infection in a population is not an easy task. The true figure in many developing countries could be much higher than that reported since earlier studies used assays with poor sensitivity [16]. Higher results are expected when more sensitive assays are used [17]. Sera tested in recent IgG immunoassays based on a variety of HEV antigens gave broadly concordant results suggesting that antibodies detected are truly directed at HEV [18].
|In endemic areas, such as India and South-East Asia, studies on HEV seroprevalence have shown high frequencies in the general population, ranging from 27%-80% in the general population. In contrast, in non-endemic regions, seroprevalence varies from 2%-8% in Europe, Japan and South America to 18.0%-21.0% in the USA, Russia, UK, Southern France, Hong Kong, Korea, and China. In developing countries, water-borne epidemics of HEV mainly affect young adults, the clinical attack rate being highest among 15-35 yearold [19] and men are clinically infected 2-5 times more than women in most outbreaks [20]. Asymptomatic infections have been estimated to exceed the number of symptomatic cases by 2-4 times in waterborne outbreaks [21]. Although routine surveillance and reporting of HEV infection is far from universal and sensitive anti-HEV assays are still lacking, it is clear that the majority of disease burden due to HEV is in the low and medium income countries of Asia and Africa [22].
|Mode(s) of transmission and endemicity
|One of the earliest documented massive outbreaks of infectious hepatitis took place in New Delhi, India in late 1955 where at least 30,000 clinical cases of jaundice were reported with elevated morbidity and mortality in pregnant women [23]. Outbreaks with similar characteristics to the New Delhi outbreak were also documented in Kashmir Valley in 1978 [24] and in Afghanistan in 1983 [25]. All three outbreaks were associated with fecal-contamination of drinking water or flooding. In 1990-1991, the etiological agent of such outbreaks was isolated, partially cloned and was labelled hepatitis E virus [26]. HEV is now considered the leading cause of acute hepatitis worldwide and is considered endemic in developing countries.
|Recent reports showed higher HEV seroprevalence in specific groups as paid blood donors and in repeatedly transmitted hemodialysis patients [27,28]. Furthermore, the recent reporting of transmission of HEV through blood transfusion from Saudi Arabia [29], Japan [30] and the UK [31] has led to the suggestion that the parenteral route could be an important route in the transmission of HEV. As early as 1996 we speculated on the possible transmission of HEV by blood transfusion in Saudi Arabia [32]. Since HEV is endemic in developing countries, including countries of the MENA region, the awareness of an infectious threat to blood safety is legitimate. The purpose of this manuscript, therefore, is to review the status of HEV in the MENA region countries and to see whether the transfusiontransmission route has been evaluated.
|Materials and Methods
|Related articles were collected, by searching through the countries of the MENA region. Over the past 14 years (from January 2000– August 2014); literature was reviewed using countries of the MENA region Pubmed and Medline. The search was conducted using predefined combination of keywords: "hepatitis E virus", "hepatitis E", "hepatitis E infection", "blood donors" in combination with all the names of the countries of the MENA region. The MENA region includes 25 countries (Algeria, Bahrain, Cyprus, Djibouti, Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Israel, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Libya, Mauritania, Morocco, Oman, Palestine, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, Tunisia, Turkey, UAE and Yemen) and covers a population of over 380 million people. One hundred articles were reviewed, of which 25 articles were excluded; the excluded papers were written in non-English language or had uninterpretable data (didn't have seroprevalence data).
|HEV seroprevalence (anti-HEV IgG) and HEV markers, across age groups and in different categories of populations in various countries of the MENA region during the past 14 years are shown in Table 1.
|There were eight articles published on HEV in blood donors (Table 2) of which only 2 studies performed HEV-RNA testing to see whether or not the donor was viremic at the time of donation. Only one study from Saudi Arabia was a prospective study [76]. Seroprevalence of HEV among the reported blood donors was within the range found in the general population except for one study from Saudi Arabia where 19% of the donors were anti-HEV positive [77].
|Anti-HEV in Egypt exceeds 12.5% in children and can reach 84.0% in adults. In Iran, anti-HEV varies from region to another (2%-14%) but it does not exceed 14%. Similarly anti-HEV among Saudis varied from 4.0%-8.0% in the general population and in one study a seroprevalence of 19% was reported among blood donors. Regional variation in anti-HEV seroprevalence was also reported in the Turkish population (2%-13%) and anti-HEV was as high as 35% among agriculture workers. Anti-HEV variation (18%-22%) was reported among Iraqis and a seroprevalence of 11% was reported in Yemen. Molecular studies were not attempted in most of the studies reported. High HEV-RNA positivity was reported in pediatric patients with acute hepatitis in Egypt (23%), in hepatitis outbreaks in Sudan (20%-27%) in patients with chronic hepatitis C in Turkey (55%) and in pregnant women in UAE (30%).
|In recent years, studies from developed countries have shown asymptomatic viremia (HEV-RNA) in blood donors which is suggestive of ongoing subclinical infection [107-109]. The presence of HEV RNA is in the serum of healthy donors indicates that there is a potential risk of transmission of HEV through blood and indeed transmission of HEV by transfusion has been reported on several occasions from Europe and Japan [110-114]. The first molecularly confirmed case of transfusion-transmitted HEV was reported in 2004 from Japan [112]. Other cases have been confirmed in Sweden, Germany and the United States [107,108], in the United Kingdom [110] and in France [111]; to mention only few. Recent articles have already reviewed the risk of HEV infection by blood donation from developed countries. The incidence of HEV in the blood donor population in developed countries however, is unclear and is likely underestimated and this could be possibly due to several factors including: 1) The lack of well-validated assays; 2) The asymptomatic nature of HEV infection among adults; 3) The lack of testing; 4) and finally the underreporting of HEV disease in all countries.
|On the other hand, in endemic countries including countries of the MENA region, the impact of HEV transmission through blood transfusion has rarely been evaluated. The possibility of transmission through blood transfusion was based mainly on retrospective evaluation in transfusion recipients [115,116] and that multi transfused had significantly higher prevalence of markers for acute HEV (anti-IgM and HEV-RNA) as compared to controls [117-119]. In the MENA region, out of the 75 published articles that showed interpretable data during the past 14 years, only 8 articles provided data on HEV in blood donors: Seven of the articles reported on the seroprevalence of HEV in blood donors and only one study was prospective. Anti-HEV (IgG) in blood donors ranged from 5.4% among Tunisians to over 50% among Egyptians. In one study from Saudi Arabia, anti-HEV (IgG) in blood donors was as high as 19.0% (105). It is interesting to note that the blood donors in this Saudi study were from one location (Makkah) where the majority of the people drank well-water [105]. Moreover, 4.3% of the blood donors tested was anti-HEV (IgM) positive implicating HEV as a potential transfusion risk. In the prospective study from Saudi Arabia [74] HEV infection developed in 3 of 22 susceptible patients following blood transfusion. The infections were traced to infected donor samples (HEV-RNApositive) and occurred within the incubation period of HEV infection. Thus asymptomatic viremia may occur in healthy adults in endemic areas and viremia and fecal shedding have been reported in symptomfree carriers. The available but scanty data therefore, show that the disease burden of HEV infection in blood donors in countries which experience outbreaks of HEV infection is grossly under-investigated. This fact, in addition to the high endemicity of HEV in developing countries, and the risk of transmission of HEV by transfusion documented in some developed countries lead to the emerging awareness of infectious threat to blood safety in developing countries.
|As for the seroprevalence of HEV in the MENA region, published data during the past 14 years confirm the endemicity of HEV in all 12 MENA countries studied but data on the remaining 13 countries are still lacking. Except for Egypt where anti-HEV reaches 100% in certain populations, the seroprevalence of HEV in the general population ranges from 2.3%-37.5% and is higher in males than in females. Prevalence increased with age, but exposure seems to be in early life in Egypt as high prevalence was detected in young children. This increase in percentage of anti-HEV with age could be consistent with cumulative exposure to infection over time [120].
|It must be emphasized however that our study suffers serious limitations. The major limitation is in the methodology of the reported studies where the selection of patients and the assays used were very different. Moreover, earlier assays used were less sensitive than the recent ones [121] which cast some doubt on the frequencies reported as underestimated and hence not representative. In addition, data on HEV on the remaining 13 countries of the MENA region are still missing. Furthermore, only three studies reported on HEV genotypes. In Egypt, genotype 1 [39] and genotype 3 [37] were found among hepatitis patients. In Sudan, genotype 3 was detected during an outbreak in Darfur [77]. More research is needed to identify the predominant genotype(s) in the various countries and even in the various populations of the MENA region.
|It can be concluded that more extensive investigations are required to determine the disease burden of HEV infection in blood donors in developing countries. This will include exploring epidemiological, virological and cultural data in evaluating the potential risk of HEV infection via blood transfusion in these counties. National surveillance screening of donors and recipients for markers of recent HEV infection is of utmost importance. The reliability of the data depends on the reliability of the tests employed. IgM antibodies to HEV are present for several weeks following acute HEV infection [122] indicating that perhaps screening for HEV IgM class antibodies could be a marker for detecting active HEV infection. No infectivity data however, are available for IgM-positive donations. HEV-RNA on the other hand does not persist for long, becoming undetectable in blood three weeks after the onset of symptoms [123].
|Although screening for HEV in blood donors is still not a universal requirement, selective screening is to be recommended in certain circumstances. Recent evidence shows that HEV infection can take a severe or even fatal course resulting in liver failure in immunocompromised, pregnant women or patients with chronic liver disease [122-126]. Since these patients often require blood transfusion, it is prudent them that screening for HEV-RNA or at least for anti- HEV IgM in donated blood for these patients should be implemented as soon as possible.

Help with purchasing a used WK2
I'm looking to get an new Overland but the out the door price is higher than I would like to pay. So I found a used 2014 Overland, Black on Black with 5,500 or so miles. Sale price I worked out with them is $37,000 even but its out of state and they said I would have to take care of the taxes, tags, ect... with my DMV. What do you guys think? The car is kinda far I've only seen pics
Re: Help with purchasing a used WK2
You're leaving information out... what engine and any additional options does it have?
Go out to KBB or Edmunds and find out what the fair market price is for the area in which the vehicle is located and then you'll know if it's a good deal or not.
Re: Help with purchasing a used WK2
My bad its a V6 with no additional options in the DC area.
Ive never heard of a dealership letting the customer take care of the taxes and tags on their own.
Re: Help with purchasing a used WK2
If you're an out of state buyer then that responsibilty usually falls on you. If the dealer is close to a state border and gets a lot of out of state buyers then they'll sometimes handle it for you.
Re: Help with purchasing a used WK2
I would personally never pay that much for a vehicle that I have not touched, smelled, heard and drove first. Look at the troubleshooting forum and see all the issues one can possibly have with vibrations at highway speeds, transmission issues, wheel bearing issues, electrical issues, bad TIPMs, interior water leaks, etc.. Gotta wonder, Why did someone trade in a Jeep with 5500 miles??
Good luck on your future purchase! :thumbsup:
Re: Help with purchasing a used WK2
Re: Help with purchasing a used WK2
Re: Help with purchasing a used WK2
Heck no! Early builds are well known to have plenty of issues, having only 5,500 miles is a big red flag IMO. It COULD be just fine, but it also could be a lemon.
While the Overland is a bit higher trim, you can get a new Limited for the same price. My new 2014 Limited v6 with 8.4A was $36k.
Re: Help with purchasing a used WK2
Thanks for all the help, I'm going to keep looking around...Maybe ill take a trip up to that dealer on one of my days off.
Re: Help with purchasing a used WK2
What's the name of the dealership? I'm in Northern Va.
Re: Help with purchasing a used WK2
My wife and I purchased a used 2014 Limited with Lux II and nav earlier this year. It had about 35000 miles on it, which at first told me the previous owner was probably the kind of guy/gal that doesn't keep a vehicle longer than the bumper-to-bumper warranty. Turns out I was half right... it was a long-term rental from Enterprise. They really took care of the car though.
It is a March 2013 build, but the only issue I've seen is the tailgate doesn't line up perfectly with the taillights. One side is a little under the taillight, and the other is about equal. This is a known issue with earlier builds, and I have to actually look for it to see it, not easily noticeable on mine. We have not experienced any of the other issues mentioned for early builds.
I echo the others' concerns though... 5500 miles may just mean the previous owner got over his head on payments and traded it back in, or it may mean that there are serious problems with it and he wanted to get rid of it. Definitely test drive thoroughly before agreeing to anything.
Re: Help with purchasing a used WK2
There are MANY people that buy all sorts of vehicles and trade them in for various reasons with very low miles. And cars like that are more common in some areas. Don't let that he the deciding factor on turning away from the Jeep.
I would recommend, as with any used car anyone could purchase, is to be thorough in your inspection and gather a list of common issues and pay extra attention to see if the vehicle you're looking at has those issues. If it doesn't, you're most likely fine. Do your carfax and homework to make sure it wasn't a buy back. You can also request service records from the dealer to see what issues it has had and for other warranty items.

How to Stay Strong And Not Lose Yourself
No matter how successful, assertive, or powerful some women are, the moment they become involved with a man they begin to give up part of themselves - their social life, their time alone, their spiritual practice, their beliefs and values. In time, these women find they have merged their lives with their partners to the point where they have no life to go back to when and if the relationship ends Loving Him Without Losing Yourself, Beverley Engel
Does the above sound familiar? Are you prone to waiting for someone to come along, and then give up everything you value and enjoy to be with him? This is all too common at the beginning of a relationship especially because it is all new and exciting. However, this is just a dating phase, and by giving up all the things you enjoy you are effectively saying that you, and your life dont matter.
It is never a good idea to give up yourself for anyone as things soon become stale with all the expectations of keeping 'you' happy are placed on him. Not really fair is it? When you value yourself and your life, you will maintain that as a way of keeping the relationship strong and healthy. You will make your happiness your responsibility, and not someone else's.
Would you rather remain independent within a relationship or dependant, and needy of your partner? Many woman belief that they cant do anything without their mans approval, they cant make plans to see their friends incase he wants to see them, or that having their own life will interfere with the relationship somehow.
If you are with the 'right person', they will want you to do the things that make you happy. They will support you in you endeavours, and encourage you to go for your dreams.
Becoming someone that you would like to spend time with is more important than trying to be someone to please someone else. Would you like to be with someone who has no life, no hobbies, and no motivation to make changes until they find the perfect person to make it worthwhile?
A relationship is where two people to come together to enhance each others lives; not to be saved from them. Have you ever felt desperation coming from someone you are dating? Wanting things to move too fast and telling you they love you within a couple of dates? That is desperation. You need to ask yourself; what is their rush, and honour the part in you that needs to take things slow.
The goal for being in a relationship should be one that allows you both growth, self expression and honesty. When dating ask yourself if the person sitting in front of you can offer those possibilities? If yes pursue it, if no, be strong and walk away.

I realized I was probably off Alan Mulally's Christmas card list shortly after I stepped into the lobby of Ford's product development center in Dearborn for a briefing on the new Evos concept and a sneak peek at the 2013 Lincoln MKZ last week. (You've already seen the stunning Evos here at motortrend.com, but I can't tell you anything about the new MKZ other than to say it's not another badge-engineered Fusion, and that former Cadillac designer Max Wolff's dramatic styling will knock your socks off.) We'd barely exchanged the usual pleasantries when the Ford PR guy pulled me aside and started talking about the Explorer EcoBoost review.
Ah yes, the Explorer Ecoboost review, which was clearly now that Explorer Ecoboost review.
Any automotive review starts from one of two baseline premises. "Mate, all cars are sh*tboxes until proven otherwise," is how Phil Scott, the hard-nosed newspaperman who was my predecessor in the editor's chair at Australia's Wheels Magazine, approached the task. Peter Robinson, who edited Wheels for 17 years before Scott took over in 1988, and went on to become the main man in Europe for the influential UK weekly Autocar, took a different view: "I want every new car to be great, and I'm disappointed when it's not."
I've tended to follow the Robinson approach over the years, probably because, like Peter, as a life-long enthusiast I want every new car to be great, and am genuinely disappointed when one falls short of the mark.
It would be fair to say we savaged the Explorer EcoBoost, and the Explorer product team, the Ford PR guy explained, was feeling a little miffed. After all, every one of them had just put several years of his or her life into creating this thing. They simply couldn't understand how the four-cylinder Explorer had been given such a negative write-up. If you looked at the numbers, the Ford PR man said, it was a very competitive vehicle.
Now, numbers are useful data points, and having edited the leading automotive titles in Australia and the UK, I know Motor Trend's audience can't get enough of them – objective testing, and publishing the results, is one of the core competencies of this brand. But what happens between those data points is also revealing. That's where the difference between disappointment and greatness often lies.
Mazda's Miata is a case in point. Performance, braking, lateral g – run down the numbers in the road test chart, and you won't find any one that particularly stands out. But drive a Miata as fast as you dare down a winding canyon road and I'll bet you climb out from behind the wheel with an ear-to-ear grin on your face. That's greatness right there. It's in the telepathic steering, the sublime chassis balance, the easily modulated brakes, the snick-snick quick shifter; in the rare sense of mechanical cohesion that's difficult to define and impossible to enumerate, but immediately obvious to anyone who loves driving.
Nissan's GT-R is another. It's tempting to write off the GT-R a sanitized supercar for a video-game generation; a digitized speed experience that lacks grit and soul and… character. True, it may not have the rosso romance of a Ferrari Daytona, the charming idiosyncrasy of a Porsche 911, or the aw-shucks muscle of a Corvette ZR1. But in form and function it is a supercar that deftly defines both its era and its origin. And it's a car that's greater than the sum of its numbers: A Ferrari engineer recently confided to me they've punched the GT-R's salient data points into the computer that runs track simulations at Maranello and still can't figure out how the thing gets around the Nurburgring Nordschliefe as fast as it does.
Greatness doesn't mean perfection, by the way. I've long been a critic of the current Mustang's live rear axle, and will continue to be until Ford drags the car into the 21st century with the next-gen model in 2015. But the current Mustang GT is a great car: Terrific performance and handling, fabulous V-8 noise, and the best steering of any production car ever made in the United States. I love the Mustang GT, despite the cheapskating that led to the live rear axle. The Porsche 911 is another imperfect great: Having the rear engine slung out behind the rear axle is a dumb idea – and the engineers in Weissach know it – but the way the 911 does things that almost defy the laws of physics is the definition of greatness.
What lies between the numbers in any review, then, is this: How well the vehicle performs its intended function; how well it does the job it was supposedly designed to do. The Explorer EcoBoost's promised trade-off between performance and fuel efficiency hasn't made the transition from the EPA lab to the real world. Then there is the poor packaging, the dull dynamics (despite a suspension that is noticeably stiff for a family vehicle) and the confusing My Touch system. The Explorer EcoBoost simply doesn't do a very good job of being a largish, affordable, efficient family crossover.
As I explained to the Ford guys, the Explorer EcoBoost should have been great. It's not. And we're disappointed.

Passages for Meditation
These inspired texts from world scripture and the writings of great saints and sages have been selected for reading, study, and use in passage meditation. They come from Easwaran's collections of inspirational passages, Timeless Wisdom and God Makes The Rivers To Flow. Click on a passage title in the right-hand column below to read and print that passage. If an audio icon is displayed next to the passage title, an audio player will be displayed with the passage; use it to hear Easwaran reading that passage
The Inner Ruler
The Lord is enshrined in the hearts of all.
The Lord is the supreme reality.
Rejoice in him through renunciation.
Covet nothing. All belongs to the Lord.
Thus working may you live a hundred years.
Thus alone can you work in full freedom.
Those who deny the Self are born again
Blind to the Self, enveloped in darkness,
Utterly devoid of love for the Lord.
The Self is one. Ever still, the Self is
Swifter than thought, swifter than the senses.
Though motionless, he outruns all pursuit.
Without the Self, never could life exist.
The Self seems to move, but is ever still.
He seems far away, but is ever near.
He is within all, and he transcends all.
Those who see all creatures in themselves
And themselves in all creatures know no fear.
Those who see all creatures in themselves
And themselves in all creatures know no grief.
How can the multiplicity of life
Delude the one who sees its unity?
The Self is everywhere. Bright is the Self,
Indivisible, untouched by sin, wise,
Immanent and transcendent. He it is
Who holds the cosmos together.
In dark night live those
For whom the world without alone is real;
In night darker still, for whom the world within
Alone is real. The first leads to a life
Of action, the second of meditation.
But those who combine action with meditation
Go across the sea of death through action
And enter into immortality
Through the practice of meditation.
So have we heard from the wise.
In dark night live those for whom the Lord
Is transcendent only; in night darker still,
For whom he is immanent only.
But those for whom he is transcendent
And immanent cross the sea of death
With the immanent and enter into
Immortality with the transcendent.
So have we heard from the wise.
The face of truth is hidden by your orb
Of gold, O sun. May you remove the orb
So that I, who adore the true, may see
The glory of truth. O nourishing sun,
Solitary traveler, controller,
Source of life for all creatures, spread your light,
And subdue your dazzling splendor
So that I may see your blessed Self.
Even that very Self am I!
May my life merge in the Immortal
When my body is reduced to ashes!
O mind, meditate on the eternal
Brahman. Remember the deeds of the past.
Remember, O mind, remember.
O God of fire, lead us by the good path
To eternal joy. You know all our deeds.
Deliver us from evil, we that bow
And pray again and again.
OM Shanti Shanti Shanti
This is the whole of the Isha Upanishad which Mahatma Gandhi said contains the summit of human wisdom. Translated by Eknath Easwaran in The Upanishads (Petaluma, California: Nilgiri Press, 1987).

Hey everyone!
You've all probably (hopefully?) been wondering where I've been the last couple of weeks, and why this alleged Zelda blog has never seen the light of day. That's why I wanted to take a quick moment (my lunch break to be precise, lol) to let you guys know what's going on, and to remind you all that I still care even though I've been sorta MIA as of late.
So here's the deal—between GDC and all this Pokémon and 3DS madness, work has been HECTIC. Exciting, yes. Wonderful, yes. But hectic nonetheless. Now, I would probably have still been a much better social networker throughout all of this if it weren't for the chilling fact that my laptop…. died *sniffle*. It just flat stopped working. Not only has this destroyed my at home online playtime (and means I wasted the $80 I sunk into the darn thing when the charger broke last month), but the Zelda masterpiece I've been working on bit by bit after work was on my dearly departed MacBook, meaning it has also suffered the same fate. =_=
So that's where I've been. I'm sorry for my negligence, but losing my computer really threw my world for a loop (I didn't realize how much I relied on it until it was gone). Don't get me wrong-- I still plan on delivering all that awesome blogocity I've been promising you guys, but since I'm saving up to buy a 3DS (two, to be precise, as I am NOT sharing with my bf! ), fixing my computer will have to wait a little bit. This means I might be a bit slow on the MyIGN scene until my laptop is back in action, but I will try to be better about it than I've been. I'm also working on rewriting that Zelda blog (sigh), so I'll have that to you as soon as possible.
Anyway, just thought you guys should know why I've seemingly abandoned you as of late. Totally was not my intention, promise!!!

2011 JK 3" lift 35" tires gearing question
Hey fellow jeepers, Im new to this forum which has been very helpful to me as a newbie . I have a 2011 automatic unlimited JK Sahara that I finally upgraded to 35 tires (true 34) and a 3 lift. Gear ratio is 3.73 i believe. I use this as my daily vehicle (highway/city) and also take it camping/beach trips few times a year (no rock crawling on mind yet).
Ive went one full circles on my research from different threads and decided to post my own to hopefully get some of my questions answered:
Do I need to re-gear? If so whats recommended?
Would re-gearing void my warrantee?
What is the average cost for such work?
I appreciate your input http://www.jkowners.com/forum/images...thank20you.gif
Regearing is all up to personal opinion. Some people will tell you it's a dog, and that's their opinion. You should definitely try it for a little bit before regearing as this generally costs 1500-2000. If you do decide to regear you shouldn't go with less than 4.88 gears. With the auto 4.88 or 5.13 would be good for daily driving. If you think you will go to 37's one day go for 5.13 or 5.38(you can get these gears now for a D30 front, before you couldn't).
As for warranty work, your gears will no longer be covered(not mopar anymore), your suspension won't be covered(you lifted it) and they could make an argument not to cover axle components because of the lift and tires, but the rest of your drivetrain should be covered. Some dealers aren't mod friendly and will refuse to do any work under warranty, but if you come in contact with them you will just have to find another dealer
thx for your input jkjeeper06. Looks like im going with either 5.13 or 5.38 with my "34s". I'm having trouble choosing between the two. I don't know how much of a noticeable difference they'd have for daily city/highway commute, M416 trailer towing few times a year, and some offroad. :confused:

There can't be that much to being a cop can there? You wear a special hat, strap on a gun or truncheon and head out onto the streets to thwart wrongdoers, spread civic virtues and help old ladies across the road.
If only life, law and order were that simple. Criminals, sadly, don't sit still (they're nasty like that) and are as keen to find new methods and technologies to help them go about their business as anyone else. And the police have to be at least one step ahead of them.
When Robert Peel founded the first modern police force with the Metropolitan Police Force Act of 1829, his Bobbies went out on the streets with pretty simple instructions and an emphasis on muscle over mind. These days things are very different.
1 – GSG 9 of Germany
The 1972 Olympic Games in Munich, when 11 Israeli athletes were killed by terrorists, was an international tragedy, and the German police's unpreparedness for such an attack led to the formation of GSG 9.
GSG 9 is only open to officers with two years' service under their belt and applicants undergo rigorous medical and psychological training before taking a 16 week basic training and a further nine weeks of specialised lessons. They must also be top marksmen. Only one in five applicants make it through the tough training programme.
Since they first got started in 1973, GSG 9 have been involved in more than 1,500 operations and have only had to use their guns five times, a great testament to their discipline and training.

Final Vote to Renew PATRIOT Act is Here--Take Action Now!
Last week, as Senators and Congresspersons met in conference to negotiate the final PATRIOT reauthorization bill, we had high hopes that they would add meaningful new checks and balances to the USA PATRIOT Act.
But EFF has obtained a draft of the final conference report (in three parts: one, two, and three). It is exactly what we feared: the same old PATRIOT Act, with a grab-bag of illusory reforms that will do little to curb abuse of the Act's most dangerous powers.
Indeed, the bill actually makes some PATRIOT powers worse. For example, even though the Washington Post recently revealed widespread abuse of the "National Security Letter" (NSL) power to secretly demand records of tens of thousands of ordinary Americans, the bill actually strengthens this power by adding new criminal penalties for NSL recipients who speak out about their experience.
The final bill defies the will of Congress, jettisoning reforms that were in the draft bills. Both the House and Senate voted overwhelmingly for four-year time limits or "sunsets" on three of the most dangerous powers. The sunset period in the final bill is seven years. This date is so far in the future that it will almost skip the next presidency, and it certainly isn't soon enough to ensure the Executive branch's continued accountability to Congress on PATRIOT's misuse. The bill renews every other power without any expiration, with only a few band-aid reforms.
Representative John Conyers described the final bill, as reported by the House/Senate conference:
The conference report represents a huge step back for civil liberties. Instead of using the sunset as an opportunity to rein in the many civil liberties abuses documented over the past four years, the Republicans have opted to expand the Patriot Act and to throw in a variety of pet bills and extraneous matters they were not able to pass otherwise.
We couldn't put it better ourselves.
You can still push for change in the bill, but time is short. We expect the House to vote tomorrow, with a Senate vote before the week is out. Please call your representative and senators now and ask them vote "no" on PATRIOT renewal.
You can visit our Action Center to find your congressperson's telephone numbers and log your call.
