For comfort and solace after hurricane, some have inked - very personal hurricane Katrina tattoos!
Aside from their aesthetic values tattoos have deeply personal and symbolic significance for those that get them. While some get a tattoo simply for the artistic expression others get tattoos to help them recover from tragedy, move forward in life and overcome difficult times. Hurricane Katrina tattoos are such a personal tattoo.
Hurricane Katrina is ranked as one of America's deadliest hurricanes and for the days Katrina ravaged the country it caused $105 billion in damages and took the lives of an estimated 1245 people, though the actual number of lives lost could be upwards of 1800!! The devastation and effects of Katrina are still felt a decade on and while many have come to terms with the effects and loss others have struggled and to this day are yet to overcome the event.
Katrina caused most destruction in New Orleans and across the Gulf Coast and for a number of people Hurricane Katrina tattoos have taken inspiration from their home city and state. Many people had to leave their homes and were uncertain of when they'd return or whether they could at all, and as tributes to where they left they got tattoos. The tattoos primarily took the form of a Fleur-de-lis, a symbol adopted post-Katrina by the people of New Orleans as a memorial and cultural emblem of the city.
"By having the tattoo and constantly telling and retelling the stories and experiences that led to that tattoo, they probably relive and remember those times on a day-to-day basis."
Recent from Stories
Other Hurricane Katrina tattoos were inspired by the wildlife of New Orleans such as the craw-fish, while some took inspiration from the actual events like the 'X' painted onto the roofs of buildings sheltering those in need of rescue.
The tattoos inspired by the events of Hurricane Katrina are a permanent memorial to those lost and the damage caused. They are also a way of telling the story of the survivors and their journey in overcoming trauma and moving forward.

Superior Court of Pennsylvania
February 25, 2014
COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA Appelleev.JAMES LEE TROUTMAN Appellant COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA Appelleev.JAMES LEE TROUTMAN Appellant
Appeal from the PCRA Order of January 24, 2013 In the Court of Common Pleas of Montgomery County Criminal Division at No.: CP-46-CR-0003674-2011
Appeal from the PCRA Order of January 25, 2013 In the Court of Common Pleas of Montgomery County Criminal Division at No.: CP-46-CR-0003674-2011
BEFORE: BOWES, J., LAZARUS, J., and WECHT, J.
James Lee Troutman ("Appellant") appeals the PCRA court's orders dated January 24 and 25, 2013. The orders in question respectively denied Appellant's timely first petition under the Post-Conviction Relief Act ("PCRA"), 42 Pa.C.S. §§ 9541, et seq., and his subsequent self-styled amended PCRA petition.[1] We affirm both orders.
The trial court set forth the factual and procedural history of this case as follows:
Appellant first appeals from the Final Order of Dismissal dated January 25, 20131, dismissing his petition for post[-]conviction relief filed under the [PCRA]. The dismissal of Appellant's PCRA petition was based on counsel's no-merit letter submitted in accordance with Commonwealth v. Turner, 544 A.2d 927 (Pa. 1988) and Commonwealth v. Finley, 550 A.2d 213 (Pa.Super. 1988), and this Court's independent review of the record.
1[Superior Court docket number 958 EDA 2013.]
Also, Appellant appeals from an Order dated January 24, 2013 2, dismissing an amended PCRA petition, which he was not granted leave to file.
2Superior Court docket number 827 EDA 2013.
Affidavit of Probable Cause
Appellant agreed to the facts as set forth in the Affidavit of Probable Cause. [(Negotiated Guilty Plea, 3/19/12, p. 23).] On May 9, 2011, at 7:11 p.m., the Souderton Borough Police Department responded to the Souderton Garden Apartments located at 203 East Chestnut Street, Souderton Borough, Montgomery County, for the report of a missing child. The child was identified as 9[-]year-old [S.K.], who was last seen by family members at approximately 5:00 p.m. [S.K.'s] mother told police that [S.K.] was wearing black pants, a yellow t-shirt and Ugg clogs.
Additional police arrived at the scene, and a search of the apartment building and surrounding area was conducted. While on location, Officer James Throop of the Souderton Police Department was approached by Waldamar Rios. Mr. Rios explained to the officer that he had discovered blood in the common basement of the apartment building. Rios led the officer to the common basement, which serves apartment numbers 33 through 36. Immediately upon entering the basement, Officer Throop observed a large pool of blood on the floor and suspected blood spatter on a nearby water heater. The officer also found a grey and tan colored clog, Ugg brand, lying on the basement floor.
Detective Edward Schikel of the Montgomery County Detective Bureau was investigating the scene when he encountered Appellant, a resident of the apartment complex. The detective observed what he believed to be blood on Appellant's right sneaker. Appellant relayed a story to Detective Schikel that occurred two weeks prior when he allowed two little girls inside his apartment to use his bathroom. According to Appellant, one of the little girls accidently locked herself in the bathroom. The girl panicked and started yelling and causing a commotion. The police were called. Detective Schikel advised Appellant that he was only interested in the current incident and asked him whether he saw anything that night. Appellant did not answer the detective's question. Rather, Appellant relayed a story about going to a football filed [sic], doing exercises, getting really dirty and muddy, coming home and showering and changing. Detective Schikel asked Appellant if he would be willing to assist the police in the investigation, and he agreed.
Detective Schikel went to Appellant's residence, apartment 33, and knocked on the door. Appellant's fiancé, Heather Clemens, answered, "come in." Ms. Clemens consented to a search of the apartment for the missing girl. During the search, the detective observed exercise style clothing in the master bedroom closet, which appeared to be extremely saturated with blood. Ms. Clemens agreed to assist in the investigation for [S.K.].
In the interim, Detective George Moyer of the Franconia Township Police Department was searching the surrounding area for additional evidence. At about 11:55 p.m., Detective Moyer searched the dumpster located behind the apartment complex. In the dumpster, the Detective Moyer uncovered a bloody multicolored, plaid striped comforter containing [S.K.'s] dead body.
On May 10, 2011, at approximately 12:43 a.m., Montgomery County Detectives Tedescung Bandy and James Carbo interviewed Ms. Clemens. She told the detectives that Appellant left the apartment around 5:00 p.m. the day before, May 9th, to play on his cell phone outside. Ms. Clemens told detectives that at about 5:45 p.m. she heard a female voice screaming loudly. The female voice said "no" once or twice and it was "long and drawn out when she said no, like noooooo! while she was still crying." Ms. Clemens also heard crashing sounds, like someone was being thrown to the ground. According to Ms. Clemens these noises lasted about three or four minutes. Ms. Clemens attempted to call Appellant, but got his voicemail. Appellant called back about five minutes later. Ms. Clemens further told detectives that when Appellant arrived back at the apartment about 15 to 20 minutes after their telephone conversation, he appeared dirty and sweaty and had "caked-on mud" on the front of his body, shirt, shorts, knees, shins and socks. Upon his return Appellant changed his clothes and put them in the hamper, took a shower and ate dinner.
Appellant was interviewed by Montgomery County Detective Christopher Kuklentz and Souderton Borough Police Detective Joseph Rudner. During the interview, Appellant admitted speaking to [S.K.] a little after 5:00 p.m. on May 9th, but denied involvement in her murder. Appellant stated that the blood on his clothes was from an earlier nosebleed. Later in the interview, Appellant admitted that he choked [S.K.] to death with his hands and that her head hit the floor at least a couple of times. Appellant explained that he walked [S.K.] into the common basement and while they were there he "snapped" and that "it was like a white out." Appellant admitted that he wrapped [S.K.'s] dead body in a blanket and got rid of her in the dumpster. When asked why he murdered [S.K.], Appellant told detectives that he knew that once he took her down the basement she could get him in trouble.
On May 10, 2011, an autopsy was performed on [S.K.'s] body. The autopsy determined that [S.K.] died from asphyxia and blunt force trauma, and that the manner of death was homicide. In addition the autopsy revealed that [S.K.] suffered significant vaginal trauma.
Appellant was arrested and charged with murder in the first degree, kidnapping, rape of a child with serious bodily injury and other related offenses.
Negotiated Guilty Plea Hearing
On March 19, 2012, Appellant agreed to enter a guilty plea to the charges of murder in the first degree, involuntary deviate sexual intercourse with a child, kidnapping and abuse of a corpse, and to be sentenced to a life term without the possibility of parole, followed by a 10 to 20[-]year term of imprisonment, in exchange for the Commonwealth's withdrawal of its intent to seek the death penalty.4
4 On July 20, 2011, the Commonwealth filed a notice of intent to seek the death penalty.
There was an extensive oral colloquy in addition to two written guilty plea colloquies which were reviewed and signed by Appellant. At the time that Appellant pleaded guilty, he was a 25 year-old man, with a high-school degree. (Negotiated Guilty Plea 3/19/12 p. 9). In response to questioning by guilty plea counsel, W. Craig Penglase, Appellant affirmed his understanding that he was there to plead guilty to all of the charges as outlined by the District Attorney and that he understood the proceedings in general. Id. at 5-6. Appellant acknowledged that he and Mr. Penglase spent significant time discussing the rights, duties and obligations that he was relinquishing by pleading guilty. Id. Upon questioning, Appellant also acknowledged that he thoroughly reviewed two written guilty plea colloquies with Mr. Penglase. Id. at 7-9.
During the extensive colloquy, Appellant told this Court that he and Mr. Penglase reviewed all of the offenses he was charged with and that Mr. Penglase explained to him what all of those charges were as well as the elements of each of those offenses. Id. at 10. Appellant represented to this Court that Mr. Penglase read for him an agreement as to the facts of the case which constituted the charges to which he would be pleading guilty and that he agreed that the summarization of those facts was true and accurate. Id. Appellant admitted that his attorney explained to him all of the things that a person must have done to be guilty of the crimes to which he is pleading guilty, and admitted that he had done all of the things a person must have done to be guilty of the crimes to which he is pleading guilty. Exhibit "D-1", Guilty Plea Colloquy, at 3. Appellant told this Court that he is in fact guilty. (Negotiated Guilty Plea 3/19/12 pp. 13-14).
Mr. Penglase asked Appellant pertinent questions about his mental health. Appellant affirmed that in the past he had received mental health treatment at various facilities, and that his last such treatment had been some time ago. Id. at 6. Appellant admitted that he was not currently under the care of a psychiatrist or taking medication for any mental health issue. Id. Appellant assured this Court that he was not under the influence of any substance that would inhibit his understanding of the guilty plea proceedings. Id.
In addition to the oral colloquy regarding Appellant's mental health, the two written colloquies also addressed issues surrounding Appellant's mental health, both of which were signed and dated by Appellant. Therein, Appellant denied being currently treated for a mental illness. See, Exhibit D-1, Guilty Plea Colloquy, p. 2. Appellant also checked off "yes", admitting that he was clear-headed and could understand the written colloquy. See, Exhibit D-2, Guilty Plea Colloquy, p. 1. Although Appellant acknowledged that he has a history of mental illness, he denied that he was currently taking any medication that could interfere with his ability to understand the proceedings or the colloquy itself. Id.
Later on during the oral colloquy the District Attorney revisited the issue of Appellant's mental health. The District Attorney wanted to make clear that although through Appellant's juvenile years he was in and out of a number of different facilities, his last mental health treatment took place on 2005, at the time Appellant was 17 years old, and that from the time Appellant was 18 until the [time of the colloquy, ] at which time he was 25 years old he had not undergone mental health treatment. (Negotiated Guilty Plea 3/19/12 pp. 24-25). Appellant reaffirmed that at he was thinking clearly at the guilty plea proceedings and that the decision to plead guilty was a voluntary decision he made in consultation with his attorneys. Id. at 25.
The Court then asked Appellant whether he was satisfied with the representation of his two attorneys, that he understood their advice and agreed to follow it. Appellant said "[a]bsolutely." Id. at 14. This Court then proceeded to explain the legal concept of murder and malice. Id. at 17. Appellant had no questions of this Court or for either of his attorneys. Id.
The District Attorney proceeded to outline all of the other charges Appellant was pleading guilty to and explained the elements of each offense as well as the factual basis to support each offense. Id. at 19-23. In addition, the District Attorney explained to Appellant the maximum sentences for each of those offenses as well as the negotiated sentence to which Appellant was agreeing to [sic]. Id. at 23. Further, the District Attorney laid out a summary of facts. Id. at 23-24. Finally, the District Attorney asked Appellant if he was satisfied with his attorneys' representation, to which Appellant responded in the affirmative. Id. at 25.
This Court accepted Appellant's guilty plea [as] voluntarily, intelligently and knowingly entered. Id. at 27.
Appellant did not file a direct appeal.
PCRA Petition
On September 21, 2012, Appellant filed a timely pro se PCRA petition. In his pro se petition, Appellant alleged the ineffectiveness of trial counsel for failing to file a direct appeal, for allowing him to enter a guilty plea without a legally sufficient factual basis and for failing to seek the suppression of his statements to police. Appellant also alleged that he is actually innocent of the crimes for which he pled guilty and that his guilty plea was not knowingly, voluntarily or intelligently entered.
On October 1, 2012, the Office of the Montgomery County Public Defender was appointed to represent Appellant in connection with his PCRA petition. On November 9, 2012, PCRA counsel determined that all issues lacked merit and submitted a no-merit letter, seeking to withdraw. Appellant filed an opposition to counsel's withdrawal request on November 23, 2012. Subsequently on December 6, 2012, and in accordance with Pa.R.Crim.P. 907, a Twenty[-]Day Dismissal Notice was issued [by the PCRA court], in which Appellant was notified of the proposed dismissal and of his right to file a response.
Appellant did respond to the proposed dismissal by filing a motion for leave to amend PCRA petition under Pa.R.Crim.P. 905 on January 14, 2013. Therein, he requested a copy of the guilty plea notes of testimony so he [could] file an amended petition. Without having been granted leave to file an amended petition, Appellant filed one anyway on January 22, 2013. In this improperly filed amended petition Appellant asserted that trial counsel was ineffective in failing to pursue an insanity defense rather than advising Appellant to plead guilty, that [Appellant] was incompetent to enter a guilty plea due to his mental illness, and that he is actually innocent of the charges and would be exonerated through DNA evidence analysis. On January 23, 2013, Appellant was denied leave to amend his PCRA petition and on January 24, 2013, Appellant's improperly filed amended PCRA petition was dismissed. The January 24, 2013 Order is currently the subject of this appeal. Finally, on January 25, 2013, the Final Order of Dismissal was issued, dismissing Appellant's PCRA petition without a hearing. The January 25, 2013 Order is also at issue in this appeal. Appellant filed these timely pro se appeals of both Orders.
PCRA Court Opinion ("P.C.O."), 4/8/2013, at 1-10 (footnote omitted; typographical revisions for clarity). Appellant filed a timely notice of appeal on February 11, 2013. The PCRA court directed Appellant to file a concise statement of errors complained of on appeal pursuant to Pa.R.A.P. 1925(b), and Appellant timely filed his statement.[2] The PCRA court then filed its above-quoted Rule 1925(a) opinion on April 8, 2013.
Appellant raises the following issues before this Court:
I. Whether the lower court erred when it failed or neglected to serve the Appellant with a Rule 907 notice of its intentions to dismiss the PCRA petition, and the amended PCRA petition was wrongly denied?
II. Whether the Appellant was denied his 6th Amendment [r]ight to effective assistance of counsel when counsel failed to request a competency hearing following the psychiatric evaluation?
III. Whether the Appellant was denied due process of law when the court failed to hold a competency hearing sua sponte prior to accepting the guilty pleas?
IV. Whether the Appellant was denied the right to counsel at the psychiatric evaluation?
V. Whether the Appellant was denied due process of law when the court failed to make a competency determination of the Appellant within 20 days after the receipt of the report of the examination?
VI. Whether the Appellant was denied effective assistance of counsel when counsel instructed, advised, and persuaded the Appellant to plead guilty instead of pursuing an insanity defense?
VII. Whether the Appellant's guilty pleas were involuntarily entered due to his mental illness, and he is actually innocent of the charges that he pled guilty to?
VIII. Whether the Appellant was mentally competent to enter guilty pleas on March 19, 2012?
IX. Whether the Appellant's guilty pleas were involuntarily entered as a result of ineffective assistance of counsel?
Brief for Appellant at 6.
At issue are the PCRA court's orders denying PCRA relief. "In PCRA proceedings, an appellate court's scope of review is limited by the PCRA's parameters; since most PCRA appeals involve mixed questions of fact and law, the standard of review is whether the PCRA court's findings are supported by the record and free of legal error." Commonwealth v. Pitts, 981 A.2d 875, 878 (Pa. 2009).
The PCRA court made quick work of all claims except Appellant's challenges to the effectiveness of plea counsel and the voluntariness of his plea. Specifically, the court found that, under Commonwealth v. Rykard, 55 A.3d 1177 (Pa.Super. 2012), it was bound to treat Appellant's putative amended PCRA petition, which was filed without leave of court, as a response in opposition to the PCRA court's Rule 907 notice of intent to dismiss regarding Appellant's first PCRA petition. P.C.O. at 12-13. As such, the amended petition was not a distinct second or subsequent petition under the PCRA, and not subject to the various restrictions that apply to such a petition. Id. However, as a response in opposition rather than a second petition, Rykard precluded Appellant from raising any issues not raised in the first petition, with the exception that Appellant could use a Rule 907 response to raise challenges to the effectiveness of PCRA counsel. Id.; see Rykard, 55 A.3d at 1192 ("While Appellant was explicitly instructed that he could respond [in the Rule 907 notice], and by law is authorized to file a response to the court's pre-dismissal notice, both [Commonwealth v. Williams, 732 A.2d 1167, 1191 (Pa. 1999)], and Pa.R.Crim.P. 905, suggest that in order to properly aver a new non-PCRA counsel ineffectiveness claim, the petitioner must seek leave to amend his petition.").[3]
Under Rykard, the PCRA court further observed, Appellant was free to seek leave to amend his first petition. If granted such leave by the court, Appellant then would be free to raise issues missing from his pre-amendment petition. P.C.O. at 12. However, such leave must be granted first, and no putative amendment filed without such leave is cognizable. Here, although Appellant sought leave to amend, he filed his amended petition before the PCRA court ruled on that motion. Thereafter, the PCRA court expressly denied Appellant's petition for leave.
In this case, Appellant in his putative amended petition did not challenge PCRA counsel's stewardship expressly. However, Appellant did seek to raise issues absent from his first petition. Specifically, he asserted a range of novel issues, corresponding to those numbered II through V (inclusive) before this Court, pertaining to issues surrounding his mental competency at the time that he entered into his guilty plea. The PCRA court determined that these issues were waived because they were absent from Appellant's first petition, and because the court had not granted Appellant leave to amend that petition. P.C.O. AT 13-14.
In a related ruling, the PCRA court rejected Appellant's first issue, concerning his entitlement to a Rule 907 notice of intent to dismiss his first petition. The PCRA court noted that transmission of the notice to Appellant's prison address was well-documented and docketed, and that it had been sent to the same address as many other documents that had reached Appellant without incident. P.C.O. at 12-13.[4]
Finally, the PCRA court considered at length Appellant's issues VI through VIII, and rejected them based upon the strength and thoroughness of the oral and two written guilty plea colloquies. Therein, the record confirms that Appellant unequivocally acknowledged all relevant sacrifices of his constitutional rights that were associated with pleading guilty, and signaled his satisfaction with the stewardship of counsel in connection with the plea bargaining process. We find that the PCRA court's detailed analysis of these issues, see P.C.O. at 14-20, is supported by the record and is free of legal error. Accordingly, we adopt the PCRA court's reasoning as our own, and we affirm. A copy of the PCRA court's Rule 1925(a) opinion is attached hereto for reference.
Order affirmed.

What's the first record you bought? It was a Bobby Brown tape that I bought from a girl on my street. My mom threw it away because I guess it's not socially acceptable for an 8 year-old to own.
What's the first concert you saw? My mom took us to see The Lovin' Spoonful. I wish I had a cooler answer.
What's your favorite concert you've ever been to? The Suicide Machines at the old Boston's. I had to go alone because no one else wanted to go. However, it turned out to be so much fun because I had no one to impress, so I skanked until I couldn't feel my face.
Preferred format: CD, vinyl, cassette, 8-Track or digital? Digital, but I can't find my iPod right now, so I guess CD.
What's your favorite CD? The Black Album (Jay-Z). It got me through my last year of college, and it also made me hyper-sensitive to the presence of police officers (don't want to explain that one).
Who is your favorite singer or band? I love Bane and Jay-Z -- tie.
What was your favorite new or new-to-you album from 2010? Adele, 19. It came out a year or two prior, but I was on the late train and didn't really listen to it until 2010.
What one song would you play if you had a world-wide radio audience? "Humpty Dance," Digital Underground.
Who is your favorite local artist? The Format. I know they are defunct and perhaps not hip enough, but I don't care.

3 Days in Seattle
Guide to Seattle for Families
One Day in Seattle
Had a wonderful dinner here, friendly staff, excellent food, wine pairings. Lovely french atmosphere, over looking the bay, though windows are a bit high to see. Nice location in Pike Place Market.
Delicious French food at Pike's Place. Loved the view as well as the food. A great place to start our exploration of Seattle. Would for sure go back.
"A romantic meal with a beautiful view"...this very cozy is tucked just steps from the hustle and bustle of the World Famous Pike Place Market...and more specifically about 100 steps from the "Flying Fish" and brass pig location. Four steps down and thru the door transforms Seattle into a quaint French restaurant. Only room for approx. 12 four tops and...
Stopped in by chance while at the Market on Sunday, it was well worth it. I had the breakfast crepes and my girlfriend had eggs and potatoes, both were very good. Service was prompt and friendly. The beautiful view topped it all off.
We had great weather so we sat outside over looking the water. It set the tone - but I was not prepared for such a great meal. I couldn't get past the wonderful home made bread and french butter. The dink I had was awesome, and the service the best I think I have ever had. Go.... take your time......
We've been visiting the market for years but just found this place yesterday! It's kind of hidden away but wow! I'm glad we found it! We came for lunch and you can't beat the view. It was relatively quiet when we ate lunch and we had great service and food while enjoying views of Puget Sound. The menu is not...
The lobster bisque was excellent. Definitely great different variety on the menu, reminded me of Belgium. We did not need to have a reservation, just walked in. Our server was very friendly. Great place in Pike's Market.
I had eaten here a couple of years ago and did not have a good experience but I decided to give it a try again.
My server Mary was fantastic. She was prompt in getting my order and answering any questions on the menu. My entre was late but she kept me up to date on what was going on....
Always try to stop in here when in town. Great views of the sound, in a perfect setting tucked at the water side of the market. French theme and outstanding food. Seafood is the best but other choices as well. Very attentive service. Overall highly recommended
We just dropped by, hoping we didn't need a reservation, and we weren't dressed as nicely as we felt we should have. Instead we were welcomed and seated. This is a French restaurant, and although the menu was in French, most items were translated. The waiter was great, the food excellent! Although we didn't have a window seat, we still...

Performance Marketing Guide: Display
Display advertising has evolved far beyond its humble beginnings. New technology has allowed inventory to be purchased in real time and ads are now targeted based on data from user interaction.
Still viewed as one of the strongest forms of advertising to demonstrate a brand's creativity and build awareness, the opportunity for truly innovative display campaigns has never been more rife with the rise in multi-screen advertising, video and social platforms paving the way.
In one of the most exhaustive sections of the Performance Marketing Guide, we explore display advertising from the bottom up, covering everything from key definitions to how you can directly integrate programmatic technology into your campaign. The section is split into three major categories:
- Behavioural retargeting
- Programmatic real-time bidding
- Mobile display

The finest Opus posted by Friday Feb 1, as judged by me and this thread, will have a donation made by me to the fundraiser of $200.
Let your inner Opus out !!
good cause but seriously, what fun is it if the winner doesn't have to leave
thats your Opus?
oy vey, I'm gonna go watch hockey now. have fun
LOL, that other thread was entertaining to you also eh?
Quite enlightening as to which ones popped up out of the weeds on that one.
Everyone's got one but I don't want to see or hear it...
I quit.
In seven days, I will have left a week ago.
To those dwindling few intellects out there, au revoir. To the rest of you troglodytes, bafangoo.
How was that?
Veni Vidi Vhimper
THE OPUS of M KEHOE
I came, I quipped, I conversed, I caused calamity, and I conquered.
Now I quit.
I don't get no respect.
See ya.
well, not me ! I am leaving because you are all too soft, too squishy. i cant take it anymore, i need some push-back, some resistance. Wake up people !!
going over to DU where men are men and well, whatever the rest of you are.
How was that?
If Jim Thompson and John Robinson go, I'm outta here. You can take that to the bank.
Been there. Done that. I don't leave - I make other people leave :)
I came, I saw, I whimpered away.
Heres your bucket-full of cold reality. It is a rigged game. Dont even walk into that pool-hall, the sharks (the politicians and their buddies in finance) will take your shirt and shorts. Doesnt matter if they have Red (Republican) or Blue (Republican) or Rainbow or any other color shirt on. They are just different bowling shirts but playing in the same league. And when you think they are working on your behalf, you better wake up. Theyve formed a circle and taking care of each other, with you on the outside.
I have wasted, wasted, WASTED, over ten years of my life here all the way back to 2000 when Buckhead broke the lie of Ws air force reserve records. Cannot get back all that wasted time, but I can STOP THE FARCE of pretending that posting here will ever restore the USA I grew up in.
This is my opus, and Ive stopped drinking the Freeper Kool-aid.
Milwaukee County Sheriff David A. Clark's PSA on guns
Sunday, January 27, 2013 8:18:48 AM · 20 of 22
mosesdapoet to Wisconsinlady; All
Clark announced this Friday (1/25/am and heard it while listening to radio conservative Charlie Sykes on WTMJ am 620. ABC radio national news carried by wtmj comes up with its news . But FAILS TO MENTION CLARK WANTS A TRAINING COURSE IN FACT IMPLIES HE DOESNT WITH MAYOR BARNETTS RESPONSE OF VIGILANTEISM. WTMJ news lady corrected that but that news bulletin goes all the US.
Here is what Im up to ;
the first half''s copy can make an easy sign to make whichwill drive the GOPES crazy. together with the 2nd half make a easy to make quick mesaging direct to the point palmcard to passaround . Now on to the opus...
Democrats and RINOS
Conservatives and supporters of the 2nd amendment the Obama regime is using the 2nd amendment argument to blame gun owners for its inability to deal with the hundreds of gangland murders and shootings commited in areas under their solid control using illegally obtained firearms.
Obamas solution to those inner city problems is to remove those rights provided by the constitution to have and bear arms from all US citizens before any search an seizure begins in those troublesome areas which by the way will never happen.
But none of those 23 so called reforms and unconstitutional efforts being edicted by who some call an emperor do not deal with the following issues briefly outlined below let alone insane shooters using stolen weapons. .
They wont because instead of creating a uniformly democratic society where every citizen has an equal voice no matter what their race or ethnicity.
Obamas policies have divided races and ethnic groups gerrymandering congressional districts where much of this criminal activity occurs.
GOPES {G-overment O-f (the) P-eople (republican party) E-lite-S} see this issue as a 3rd rail because most of it is black on black or illegal vs illegal (Mexican) activity .
GOPES are also afraid to say that policy also increased racial tension which has resited in deaths. But again GOPES accept this because of the influence of mainline socialist media which would be accusing them of racism if they dare to question it.
The purpose of all this hype on guns is to keep the right and conservatives focused on what the Demo-Coms describe as issues through their propaganda arm known as the MSM (mainline socialist media) not on the problems created by the Libs on their road of good intentions or the socialist/fascists/communists successors to comtrol over todays Democrat party;
Which is the cost ,waste, and corruption of this administration which had led to a 16 trillion dollar deficit.
Not one word addresses or offers a solution about the hundreds of gangland murders and shootings using illegaly obtained mostly handguns and revolvers .
Perpetuating the general populations ignorance and using code words like assault rifles theyre demonizing single shot per trigger pull semi automatic rifles, used for small game hunting or target practice. That are legal in every state but made to look like their military counterpart..
Military ARs since Viet Nam and a DOD decision ARs are really medium caliber (22.3) machine guns designed to wound not necessarilly kill which is why they are automatic and fire as many rounds that are in its magazine once the trigger is kept in the pulled position.
They replace quick kill 30 caliber semi automatic (single shot) M-1, Springfield rifles and carbines used during WWII and Korea and approved in most states for use in big game hunting.
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2977901/posts NY Post pix of shooter using handgun
Obama certainly cant critique a system created by his ilk .Ignored in his 23 edicts is that when once caught, perps get set free with lenient sentencing from liberal judges or sob sister plea bargain prosecution (which Obama supports for when a Illinois state senator while introducing legislation to sentence any 15 year old as an adult,(opps they could be fatherless) Obama voted absent with others on that roll call vote. But that leniency is promoted by the MSM,The New York Times CNN, NBC and,ABC. Theres certainly no criticism of no snitch mentality partcularly in areas where these shootings are rampant.
It would be nice at these rallys if conservatives would point these facts out to Obamas adoring public.
post 21 mason-dixon
folks we have an early contender for winner here
Except it wasn't 2000 when Buckhead broke the story of the fake memos, that happened in 2004.
Best Opus EVER! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8N2aEmcEbyg
You guys suck.
Tears of sadness roll down my cheeks and fall like the dead leaves of Autumn onto my Strawberry Shortcake stationery. I feel the acidy bile of righteous indignation welling up in my vegan nourished intestinal track. The evil Free Republic people are back, posting their mean, hurtful and illiberal comments. Why must everyone on a conservative site be so conservative? I was sure that my clearly logical arguments like "People shouldn't hurt!" and "Free the Kiwis!" would melt the arctic-cold hearts here. But no.....my nuggets of nowledge and logik were skewered by people who demanded facts instead of feelings. Well, what a fine world this would be if everyone felt that way! Remember the song FEELINGS by Morris Albert? Can you even imagine it entitled FACTS? No sir! I won't live in a world where a guy can't let the "whoa, whoa, whoa" out for the world to hear! So, it is with heavy heart, whoa whoa whoa, that I bare my hairless bosom to the world and renounce my membership with this organization of cat-haters and Amish bashers. My friends, my true friends, and they know who they are, but if you don't, e-mail me and I will let you know, will understand this action that I take, throwing my body in front of the on-rushing locomotive of discrimination and boobie pictures that offend the cultured sensitivities I acquired at Harvard. The Harvard School of Ballet and Fingerpainting in Toadsuck, Arkansas. I was the Honor Graduate. And, as delicately as I can phrase it, you can take your s**tty selves and f**k off with all your smart-a** buddies here on Free Republic and shove a motherf***ing bottle of Jim Beam up your a**es while me and my homosexual buddies do each other, and whatever cats we find, on the golden beaches of f**king California. I will miss you. Love and kisses.
my opus
obama saalaama is PROOF that time travel will always be impossible
Oh fine, I was gonna take a shot, but yours is so good. Hmmm
All it takes is a little inspiration. Pretend that you're Hillary Clinton and you've just finished off your nightly quart of Scotch and you're writing a farewell letter to Bill, only it's actually to Free Republic.
Hey everybody, check out this guys profile. Hilarious! Please pursue your satire writing further. Then I can claim I discovered you and sue you for 10% of your earnings as a finders fee. Proud to be your freeper friend. I'm coming after you on the Opus...
Wow, two opus threads in a row this week. Well, perhaps here is my chance to finally get zotted.
Judging, however, by the other worthy opuses here (correctly referred to as opera, not opuses, I just learned after looking it up): my meagre opus will hardly be a candidate to win the prize, I nevertheless cannot pass up the opportunity to put your generous $200 bounty in the worthy hands of Messrs. Thompson and Robinson.
What I learned at FreeRepublic is that even though All your Opus are belong to us, it was hugh and series when a moose bit my sister, and a shower was required even though I was logged on. Even when my beeber is set to stune, he's dead Jim. The next thing I know, the Viking Kitties are asking about r u trolls? Despite unusual events, such as the strangest ClassyGreenEyedBlondes being not really as advertised, while vigilant vigilantes and humble gunners keep blog pimpers at bay, at the heart, I find that Free Republic is a home for those who love life, family, marriage and freedom. It is not impossible to attract the flame here - just try spelling Marine with a lower case m! And yet, when the chips are down, when the job you did not want to lose slips away, when the death in the family strikes, when the wife is battling cancer, when you yourself are battling cancer, or are just battling the spinning monkey mind caused by the progressive communist insurgents ruining our country and Constitution, then behold, this is the place to escape, and find serenity and peace of mind. And this is the place to celebrate, and FRiends join in, when God is smiling on your day, and the illness or joblessness or socialism is in retreat, and then comes the real celebration with FRiends, most especially, FRiends who love and care about every tiny defenseless life given to this world by God. We learn a lot about power in this place, that true power is when you give all the power away, like to the defenseless life, true freedom to err, or to do the right thing. Our freedom is not free, it is a gift of grace, to be defended at all costs. I love this place on the internets, it gives me FRiends, knowledge, community, and healthy values.
A pithy ending to my opus requires a quote in latin, in my opinion.
I think, therefore, I am ... going to quote what I believe Rousseau would say about all of you FReepers: "For Rousseau, language could not but arise in community and from the need to communicate the passions, for which mere gestures are inadequate. Rousseau, therefore, stunningly suggests Cogito ergo estis (I think therefore you all are second person plural)." Citation: http://thirdmillennialtemplar.wordpress.com/2012/01/20/cogito-ergo-sumus/ (yes, its a blog, not mine, humblegunner). Au revoir, and viva La Republique Libre!
That'd be my opus. Simple, concise, succinct and easy.
You want 10% of my earnings? A nickel doesn't go very far these days.
I intend to win this b*tch. Enjoy. :)
I am donating 20.00 for your ohpiss.
You never know what's going to bring the Freepers home, do ya. :) THANKS KATNIP!
LOL! Preach it, brothah!
Such filth upon my Purity can no longer be condoned. I must retire from this site, and the internet as a whole, to write a manifesto of Pure Conservatism™ and to formulate a completely pointless political party to run someone so Pure for President that even I am unworthy to vote for him.
See ya, slackers. (Actually, not. I don't want to have to go through the cleansing "ritual" again. *shudder*)
Why don't you just leave?
Give me the win.
"When in the course of human events..." oh, wait...that won't work here...
if i am declared the winner maybe i just will
Blatant thuggery. Just because he's funnier, wittier, and (likely) sexier than me doesn't mean he should be allowed to win.
I just farted.
Okay. That was unexpected and I laughed so loud the cats ran. lol
Princess Moonbeam, is that YOU?

The American Academy of Family Physicians, through Family Practice Management magazine, have added another 10 tools to the toolkit they maintain on their website. This toolkit currently contains about 150 items that you can download and use or adapt as you need. It's an excellent resource for all practices:
The AAFP site is a rich source of material for practices. Don Self, a Texas based consultant, has a diverse set of resources that he has collected from billing managers and practice managers over the years. Don's sense of humor can be a bit odd, but the resources are good. I've adapted some of these for use with clients.If you haven't done this in a while, 2007 would be a good time to start a complete review of the forms used in your practice. My particular pet peeve are the forms that are copies of copies and look fuzzy, slanted and generally sloppy. Even worse are the forms provided by some drug company, complete with the name of some drug imprinted all over it. (The absolute best was a neurologist who had exam table paper from some drug company.)
Do you need the form? Does it ask the right questions and collect the needed information? Is the form easy to use – are instructions clear, and is the font large enough to be easily read (at least 12 point, maybe slightly larger)?
This is also a review that should involve your line staff who work with the forms and patients every day. From there, you can develop recommendations for all forms – what to keep, what to discard, and what to revise. All forms should have a notation on the bottom, in very small type, noting the date of the revision for future reference.

Access 2 Advocacy
|This article is an orphan, as no other articles link to it. Please introduce links to this page from related articles; try the Find link tool for suggestions. (December 2012)
Access 2 Advocacy is an independent advocacy service based in Rhyl, Denbighshire in North Wales. They work with people living in the county over the age of 50, but will soon be assisting those aged 11-25 too.[1] The service aims to ensure that people have the opportunity to make their voice heard, empowering them to make independent decisions and gain confidence to deal with similar issues, in the future.[2]
They work in partnership with the people they support and take their side. The types of issues the advocacy deal with include:

- Housing issues e.g. eviction, personal safety
- Reading letters and help understanding forms.[3]
They have locally based surgeries throughout Denbighshire, staffed by trained volunteers, in Rhyl, Denbigh and Corwen. Aside from their information surgeries they have members of staff and volunteers who act as outreach workers, visiting clients at their homes, who require more assistance and a lengthier period of help. Their services are reliant on external funding which is currently provided by a Lottery People and Places grant until 2014.
The client[edit]
There are a different groups of people who use this service, which include: older people, younger people, people with physical and/or sensory impairment, mental health service users, refugee and asylum seekers and people who lack the capacity to make decisions. Other groups include: people with learning disabilities and eople with carers responsibility.

Autopilot Feature Primer
With this in mind, I thought it would be useful to bring attention to some new and under-used features of autopilot, along with providing a brief explanation of some companion tools you might find useful. Thus I present to you, an autopilot primer. Let's talk through some new features shall we?
Python3 Support
Autopilot started as a python2 tool but has since migrated to python3 and you should too! For now the entire source tree remains python2 compatible, but you really should migrate your tests to python3. You'll notice the autopilot3 binary in newer releases which should be used to run autopilot with python3.
Scenario Support
Scenarios are a wonderful way to keep your tests simple and easy to read while allowing you to test with many different inputs. In short, you might need to test several edge cases as part of your acceptance testing. This is most easily accomplished by keeping the test itself generic and utilizing a scenario to vary your inputs. You can check out more information on scenarios specific to autopilot in the autopilot documentation.
Screenshots / Video
Autopilot allows you to get a video recording of a test failure. To make sure autopilot records failures, install recordmydesktop and pass the -r argument to your autopilot3 run command. However, at the moment this requires X so for now it doesn't work with the MIR backend (which things like the ubuntu phone utilize). Fortunately a screenshot at the point of failure when combined with the log is generally sufficient to solving your issue. Getting those screenshots brings us to subunit support.
Subunit Support
By default autopilot generates the test output and logs straight to your console in a text format. However autopilot also supports outputting to xml and subunit. Subunit support is what I would like to highlight for a few reasons. When you set the output format as subunit, you get a few niceties. One of which is an easier to grok format for tools, and the other is screenshots of the application when failures occur. To get a subunit stream, pass the -f subunit argument to your autopilot3 run command. You will want to also pass -O with a filename to save the output to a file as the subunit stream contains binary data.
Test Result Viewer
So, with this subunit test results file, how can you enjoy all of it's goodness? Enter trv, a simple python ui that will let organize the test run in an easy to view manner, including screenshots. The tool is the creation of Thomi Richards who describes it as a quick hack (:p), and has a youtube video demonstrating it's use. It's perfect for viewing the subunit stream and visualizing your test results. For now, it's not packaged but can be easily obtained via launchpad. Grab it with bzr branch lp:trv.
autopilot3 vis
The vis tool allows you to visually interact with the introspection tree after launching an application using autopilot launch. What this means is you can visualize the application in the same way autopilot does at runtime, with live tree updates. It lets you see what autopilot sees, allowing you to interactively build your testcase.
I'll refer you the official tutorial for more information, as well as a youtube video by yours truly. It's from a livestream, but covers what you need to know. autopilot3 vis also contains a search box, and a highlight tool which didn't exist in the orignal version, so it's even nicer now than before. Give it a whirl!
I talked about this utility when I covered the test runners for autopilot. Still I would be remiss if I didn't mention it again. Everything I said in the test runners for autopilot post still applies, so go have a quick read about how to use the tool if you need more information. This tool enables you to easily run autopilot tests on the desktop in a nested xserver. What that means to you as a test author is that you can run tests without giving up your desktop session. No more waiting for autopilot to hand back control of your mouse after a test. If you are writing tests, you should be using this tool along with autopilot vis mentioned above during your test writing process.
Per test timeout
Although we all only write "good tests", sometimes you may find your test misbehaves. When this happens the test may even not exit cleanly or get stuck in a loop. The result is autopilot and the system under test to wait forever for the test to finish. To prevent a rouge test from killing a test suite run, autopilot is introducing support for per-test timeouts. This has landed in vivid; you'll need version 1.5.0+15.04.20141031-0ubuntu1 or later. To use the feature, add the --test-timeout argument to autopilot run and give is a timeout in seconds.
In conclusion
Autopilot has gotten many new features along the way, and these are but a few of the most recent and important ones. I hope this helps you take another look at what autopilot might be able to help you test. Happy Testing!

When combined with LED lighting in freezer cases, the FS-705 has been shown to contribute to energy savings of over 90% (compared to uncontrolled fluorescent lighting). LEDs are not adversely affected by switching, and the sensor actually extends the service life of the case lighting. Additionally, the refrigeration compressors do not have to run as long, or as often, when sensors are used to control the lighting because less heat is generated in the cases.
In addition to freezer cases, the FS-705 may be used to control other kinds of retail display lighting, or lighting in hallways or aisleways. It can also be used to control vending machines, which consume significant amounts of power and typically experience only sporadic use. Watt Stopper/Legrand's wide-angle sensor will be a welcome new energy saving tool in offices, public buildings, libraries, storage facilities and other locations, in addition to stores.

text: Review from another site, but by me. _______________________________________________________________________________________________ Doom has always had a sweet spot in many hearts, due to the original Doom, Doom II, and the more recent Doom III iteration. Id software has now extended the franchise into the mobile regime, releasing Doom Resurrection for the iPhone and iPod touch. Although this iPhone-only version is "on-rails," which may turn off some hardcore gamers, it ultimately controls much more successfully than other free-roaming 3D games on the app store. By being on-rails, Doom is essentially a theme park ride, taking you from location to location automatically without your input. Although you can control where your character aims his weapon, the computer does not let you navigate through the Mars space station setting, instead moving you along a fixed path predetermined by the developers. Please Register or Log in to view images Although skeptical at first, I began to appreciate how this approach gave me much more control over the actual shooting aspect of the game, since I did not have to worry about getting caught up with navigation problems. Aiming the reticle is done by tilting the device up, down, left, or right. There is no sensitivity adjustment, but the default setting works comfortably with no need for alteration. In addition to a single button for shooting the selected weapon, there is a button for reloading, a button for dodging/taking cover from specific attacks, and a button to cycle between the three currently available weapons. Without revealing too much, you are a soldier on a Mars space station that has been taken over by demons and zombies from hell. You receive aid from a flying robot named Sam, which has important information about the current situation that must be sent back to Earth. And off you go, trying to minimize the influence of the demons and reach a ship leaving for Earth. The story is surprisingly engaging, and is told rather well through standard dialog boxes between characters. The gameplay of Doom is both polished and engaging. There are a large number of different hell-spawn to defeat and many weapons, including a standard assault rifle, shotgun, and minigun, to help you in your mission. Different enemies often can be defeated more easily using a specific weapon, although you probably will revert back to the assault rifle for much of the game, since the other types of ammo can be quickly used up if you are not careful. As in many other games, head shots kill an enemy much more quickly than normal body shots. Due to the freedom of not having to worry about moving the space marine, the game has much less auto-aim than other free-roaming titles like Brothers in Arms and Terminator Salvation. This gameplay mechanic ultimately makes you feel as if you have more control over precise shooting rather than just button mashing and letting the computer take care of the hard parts. In addition to shooting, you must also dodge fiery projectiles thrown by some of the demons. Just pressing the button will not suffice, instead the press must be timed so that you will move away just as the ball flies by your head. The same dodge button also transforms into a cover button, much like in the traditional Time Crisis, when demons with machine guns appear. The enemies shooting display a yellow hexagon, which quickly gets smaller and turns red, indicating that they have a clear shot and will accurately hit you. Needless to say, the best way to defeat these demons is to down them when they still are in the aiming stage. To help replenish your life and ammo, various boxes are scattered throughout the level; a quick tap, as long as it is visible, will collect the item for use. Please Register or Log in to view images Graphically, Doom Resurrection is one of the most impressive app store games. This might have something to do with the fact that the paths are pre-created so the game only has a fixed number of objects to render. Nevertheless, the atmosphere is still very well done, with dark corridors and high resolution textures that are very pleasant to look at. The issue with many 3D games in the app store, especially those by Gameloft, is that although the graphics are very good by iPhone standards, they are somewhat unpleasant since they are similar to the quality of a PS1 game. Jaggies are clearly evident, and the low polygon models and blocky landscapes are disappointing. Doom Resurrection fares better than many of these games, partly because you hardly ever see your own character model, and also because the animations of the demons are above average. Most of them have a couple death animations, and will even occasionally explode due to a well placed shotgun blast. Plus, due to the on-rails nature of the game, there is an evident feeling of true walking as the marine moves (think of a console cutscene in first person). Soundwise, Doom is good but not outstanding. There is a selection of creepy atmospheric ambient noise that definitely adds to the experience, but no background soundtrack. However, that makes some sense in order to retain the scary, futile feeling. However, each zombie really only has a couple sounds that it utters, making the game predictable in that sense. Even so, Doom is the type of game to play with stereo headphones, and it may throw in a scare or two along the way. Please Register or Log in to view images In terms of replay value, Doom has four difficulty levels, although even the highest "Nightmare" level really does not put up that much of a fight, as it just increases the amount of damage that each enemy attack inflicts. The game rates your performance from A to F at the end of each of its 8 chapters. Personally, I had no trouble getting a B or above in every stage, but YMMV. The game itself lasts about 3 hours at its normal difficulty, a little short. However, Id says that a 1.1 update will be out soon with an extra level and a new challenge mode. I just want to mention one more thing about the on-rails approach. Yes, ideally the game should allow full control. However, at this point there really is no feasible control scheme on the iDevices. Some might mention Wolfenstein 3D Classic. To those I say, Wolfenstein has no vertical axis, so its controls work. That extra dimension adds lots of problems for more modern 3D games. For $10, the original asking price, Doom is probably worth it to both fans and those who prefer accurate shooting over cumbersome navigation and strong auto-aim. However, at the new sale price of $3 (UNTIL TOMORROW AT NOON), it's pretty much a steal. Go get it. 9/10 _______________________________________________________________________________________________ Go buy it before the sale is over and because I wrote this review now so that you will know to buy it and otherwise I would feel bad that I was lazy and didn't want to write a review while people were being deprived of a good game because they didn't know about the sale until it was too late. And I posted it here first so is it still eligible for the contest? VERSION 1.1 IS NOW OUT WITH A BONUS MAP AND 40 CHALLENGES!

Skoda Kicks Off SUV Campaign With New Kodiaq
Available to order for lease now, and on sale at the beginning of 2017, the all-rounder Skoda Kodiaq takes its bow in the SUV market segment - Skoda's first entry into the world of SUV.
"Our new ŠKODA Kodiaq SUV is a great all-rounder", said ŠKODA CEO, Bernhard Maier. "It combines an active sense of vitality with the brand's classic qualities – a high degree of functionality and an outstanding amount of space. As always, in the design process we have focused on offering a little bit more car, and as a result, the best vehicle in the segment. In addition, with its emotive design, the ŠKODA Kodiaq is a strong presence on the road."
The Kodiaq Design
From the off, there is no doubt at all that the ŠKODA Kodiaq is a true ŠKODA, with a design that is full of character and emotion, and a variety of qualities for family, leisure and business.
There is plenty of space, with a boot of up to 2,065 litres when being used as a five-seater (the largest in class), and with adjustable rear seats as standard, and tilted backrests, loads of room in that set-up as well as when being used as a seven-seater.
Easy to use, with outstanding quality, the ŠKODA Kodiaq even manages to introduce new and extraordinary concepts to the segment such as door-edge protection that deploys automatically to avoid damaging the vehicle in garages or car parks, an electronic child safety lock for the youngest passengers, and a sleep comfort package with special headrests for long trips.
To see the new Skoda Kodiaq in action, take a look at the video below.
The Kodiaq Connectivity
When it comes to connectivity, the ŠKODA Kodiaq is at the top end of the SUV segment.
Taking advantage of its' connection with Volkswagen Group's second-generation Modular Infotainment Matrix, the infotainment in the Skoda Kodiaq offers numerous functions and interfaces, all equipped with responsive-to-touch touchscreens.
The top-of-the-range Columbus and Amundsen systems come with a WiFi hotspot, with the Columbus system containing an LTE module which establishes an internet connection using the fastest mobile communications standard available at that time. And this hotspot allows passengers to browse online content and send emails using their mobile phones or tablets to their hearts content.
When it comes to the intelligent pairing of car and smartphone, the ŠKODA Kodiaq reaches a new level with the SmartLink platform optional for the entry-level Swing infotainment system but a standard feature for the more advanced infotainment systems.
The Kodiaq Driver Assistance
Like so many SUVs, the ŠKODA Kodiaq features a wide range of driving assistance systems, including:
- Area View cameras to display the car's immediate surroundings on the monitor
- A Tow Assist system to help with manoeuvring an attached trailer when reversing slowly.
- Predictive Pedestrian Protection
- Front Assist
- Parking Distance Control
The Kodiaq Engines
From launch, the Kodiaq will be available in a choice of five engines - two TDIs and three TSIs - with the most powerful petrol engine, the 2.0-litre TSI, provides a power output of 132 kW (180 PS).
There will also be a range of transmission options available, including six-speed manual gearbox, DSG transmission, front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive.
The Kodiaq Drive
The new ŠKODA Kodiaq feels equally at home on rough terrain, negotiating all types of roads in a balanced and comfortable, yet dynamic and nimble way, even more so when the driver uses features such as Driving Mode Select and Dynamic Chassis Control (DCC).
An off-road mode supports the driver when using four-wheel drive, with the touch of a button, all the relevant systems – engine management, assistance systems, electronic chassis systems, such as ABS and ESC, as well as the suspension if combined with the optional DCC – automatically adjusting to off-road conditions.
Full specification details will be available soon.

The head of Nasa has called on Britain to recapture its spirit of adventure and join its ambitious plans to explore space with missions to the moon and Mars.
"The voyages of Sir Francis Drake, Captain Cook and many others built Britain into the greatest maritime power the world saw," Michael Griffin said. "That was then the frontier. This era is fully as worth supporting as was the maritime era."
Mr Griffin was speaking before a speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, today in which he will outline Nasa's plans to explore the solar system and meet the challenge laid down by President Bush in 2004 to get humans back to the moon and then on to Mars. By 2020, four-person crews will make trips to a permanent base on the moon which will allow astronauts to stay for up to six months to prepare for journeys to Mars. By 2030, pressurised roving vehicles could take people on exploratory trips across the lunar surface.
While leaving Nasa scientists to fill in the details of the exploration strategy, Mr Griffin has been on a charm offensive. He met the UK science minister, Malcolm Wicks, in an attempt to gather support from British scientists. "The British space agency should join with Nasa. It is one of the marks of a great nation."
Martin Barstow, head of physics and astronomy at Leicester University, urged caution on any collaboration and contrasted Nasa's plans with the European Space Agency's Aurora programme, which will also send people to the moon and Mars. "It has had a long gestation period and has been planned very carefully."
But he welcomed Mr Griffin's resolve in getting the point of space exploration out to new and influential audiences. "You can't just look at the science. There are broader benefits and the rest of the operation - the economists, the educationalists, the other potential beneficiaries of this - also need to be engaged."
He said that most of the money spent on space exploration was not spent in space, but on the ground. "It's spent employing people in hi-tech industries; those spin out into other commercial operations, partly because of the skills base that's built up. It's more to do with the overall upskilling of your entire economy. The real benefits are much more hidden - it's in the way your industry expands."

I have been with Sprint since September 1997. Yet when I called Sprint about why I wasn't getting the Sprint Premier, I was told my join date was April 2003 and did not qualify for the Premier memebership. I have no idea where that date came from... never got a new phone during april that would have reset any date/info.
When I finaly got them to add me to the Premier program. I asked when I would be eligible for the annual upgrade for the primary line... they switched me from department to department and could not tell me when my anniversary date would be. Was told just to check the website and there would be a notice there.
What do I do now??? check every week or two to make sure that I don't miss my anniversary upgrade?
Some peoples "Original" start date did not migrate with the Sprint/Nextel merge, That is why your date shows incorrectly.
To find your anniversary date sign on to sprint.com, On the "Overview" page, In the box that shows "My Phone & Plan" is a link under SHOW ME "Contract fulfillment" Tap on it and it will bring up a page with your date in it.
That shows the date of the latest contract renewal.
Is that the date they will go by as my anniversary date for me to upgrade to a new phone?
not the April date they have on file or the original September date? or the date they finally decided to add me to Sprint Primier?
I am so confused... I guess I'll just have to wait and see.
Thanks for your help.
My bad, That is the date your contract ends. It will be the date you are eligible to upgrade your phone with the full $150 discount,(if you're are not premier)
The anniversary date is when you will be eligible for the anniversary "Gifts"(25 bonus mins a month for 3 months OR $5.00 off your bill)
You stated that they added you to the premier program? That really can't be done as far as I know, That is done by the "System"(From what I have been told)
What date is yours showing? April 20?? What plan do you have? That could factor in when you become eligible, If you don't have a plan that is eligible then it is 10 yrs before you will be. If you have proof of when you started(any bill from way back 97,98,99?) Then you could submit proof.
As far as missing your "anniversary upgrade" you won't, That don't expire. But the "anniversary gifts" do, They are good for 15 days before and 15 days after your anniversary date.
Hey aprudy - this is Christine from the Premier team. If you are unsure of your Premier status there are a couple of ways you can tell:
1. Once you have gained Premier statuse, you will receive a Premier Welcome Kit informing you on your benefits.
2. You can also tell if you're Premier by going to www.sprint.comand logging into your account. You'll see the S|P logo, with a link to Sprint Premier Customer rewards to learn more about your benefits.
To be able to tell when your line is eligible for an upgrade go to sprint.com, then Upgrade Your Phone. If will provide the link showing when you're eligible.
If you have any additional questions, you can check the FAQ blog or response back. If you have a question that is specific to your account, you can send me a pm with your phone number.
Hi Charistine!
I know I'm a premier member, I have recieved my welcome kit and there is a PM logo on my accounts page.
When I click on "Upgrade Your Phone" it gives me "June 2011" date which is when my 2 year activation is up.
How do I find out when I'll be eligible for the Premier upgrade which is available to members every 12 months?
Would it be June 2010?
Thanks for your help.
Angela - you are correct - you're Premier upgrade eligibility rate is June 2010 as long as you are part of the Premier program.

A beautiful pendant and chain comprising of a lovely blue stone (forgot the name) with a diamond cluster. It caught the light delightfully and it placed a beaming smile on the wifes face so It was a great buy.

We are looking for a place to stay tonight (tent.) and the next trip.
Rather quiet place (people) and.
Except we're weak morning field area in the desert. We look forward to the recommendations.
Wanna join the discussion?! Login to your Long distance hiking trails forum accountor Register a new forum account. Or Connect via Facebook
Comes with car, prefer a circular route.
Thank you!
Two circular ideas:A. higher court-Mazar. In the parking lot overnight gap crater (asmodeus).B. While close to the morning but a runway and less familiar:-straight. Note that the track wasn't easy. Up and down in the mclot crater (the stream-oedipoda), and top views. Overnight parking accommodation separately or in night parking eye. If the car isn't moving up Chin, you can stay in the garage for Shepherd College, shop at dawn and walk to the track (a lot!), or request the bouncing up, collecting the top tube (to save administrative walk).
1. Lena river parking lot. No long track: mount saronim, Han saronim, grottoes, deployed back to the garage. Something like 10 miles.
2. parking accommodations 20 River (North of tsihor). A circular route to the Mall, and a short walk back to the ridge. It is also about 10 km
3. the area of Arad-optional camping area from Beersheba to Arad area hotel.
Leave the car near the cemetery of Arad and descending to Nahal silhouette. Down the tze'elim stream area honking blessing. World back toward Kfar hanokdim.
On Saturday it's easy to get away. Back to your car. It is around 20 km route. In the event that there is no lift. (Rare) book a taxi from Arad.
Once I left the car for two days (off Highway 40 car parking of the Rath)
Twice a day in the parking lot shades itself. I had no fault in both cases.
However in a parking lot near the road I found broken glass in another time I was walking in the area.
Leave an open rear window slightly to lock the doors and leave by car thieves temptation.
