5-15-14: Car is SOLD!!
**NOTE** Could not post mod list because it put me over the 10,000 character limit.. FULL for sale thread here: forums.nasioc.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2623425
Hi everybody! It's time to sell my project car to buy my dream car. I bought this as a rolling shell with no engine in December of 2013. It was a project car that I worked on through the winter in a heated garage. I put an 06 STi longblock in the car with a bunch of bolt ons. The suspension is great, and the drivetrain is smooth. The only thing I didn't get to finishing is the body, which I was planning on getting painted in May. But I realized that I can afford my dream car now, so i'd like to sell the RS and use the money for a down payment. I currently have 1100 miles on the build with zero problems.
The car is a 2000 2.5RS, originally painted red. It currently has 207,2xx miles on the body. Miles will go up slightly since I drive it on the weekend sometimes. The car is not my DD and I have another vehicle. I do not have the Carfax, but there are no apparent signs the car has been wrecked, and it has a clean title. The N/A to turbo swap was merged into the RS harness by the previous owner with a 2002 WRX engine harness and a 2002 WRX ECU. AVCS is not wired in. However the oil lines are still hooked up to the AVCS so it's not starved of oil. Most people just plug the holes, but that's not the right way. 2002 WRX intake manifold was used to keep drive by cable. And a cam reposition bracket was used so that the WRX cam sensor could read the STi cam gear. Otherwise, everything about the swap is just like normal turbo cars.
The engine is an 06 STi longblock that had a timing belt hit at 68k miles. No damage to the pistons, so the shortblock was left as is. Heads were completely rebuilt with all new OEM parts and OEM STi cams. When the engine was put back together, it had ALL serviceables done (More details at the bottom). AVCS is NOT wired in, but would be completely functional if it was hooked up. Engine has an 02 WRX intake manifold for drive by cable.
I bought the car with full 04 WRX drivetrain. It's early 04 since the car has female axles and the trans has the stubs. Unknown mileage, but with Uncle Scotty's transmission fluid mix, it shifts very smooth. No grinds, pop outs, or leaks. 1st gear will slide in at 15mph easily. Has a short throw shifter (Factory upgrade?) and it's got to have a few aftermarket shifter bushings because the shifter is so stiff. I don't know for sure on the bushings though. Very nice shifter. I can't find anything wrong with the drivetrain.
Suspension/frame has a few things I did to it. First off, the underbody has minimal rust, and is in great condition for a car with this many miles. I put on a full set of OEM 2.5RS struts with 91k miles on them. They have new rear tophats as well. Suspension is not blown, and rides very nice with no clunks. I bought the car with an 04 WRX rear subframe, and installed an 02 WRX wagon front subframe and swaybar for compatibility with the turbo engine. Stock rear swaybar. I've also done most of the drivetrain mounts (Group-N engine mounts, trans mount, and Torque Solutions pitch stop).
The interior is nice, and has tinted windows all around except for the windshield. Tints are pretty dark but not limo. The interior also has STi blue carpet and blue suede panels. There is a triple gauge pod on the dash, but I only have an AEM wideband installed. The dash is flocked as well.
The body; This is really the only thing on the car that is less than excellent. Like I had mentioned, I was planning on painting the entire car this spring. Most of the rust is fixed on the body. There is still a bit of rust on the rear quarterpanels. The entire car was plasti dipped red when I got it, besides the trunk had the vinyl wrap peeled off and the hood that still had blue vinyl wrap on it. There are still a few bits and pieces of plasti dip that need to be peeled off, but 98% of it is gone. Brand new OEM front bumper, and front fenders because some aftermarket junk was on it. One other thing to note is that the front (top) radiator support is bent a little on the driver side. So the grill and driver headlight don't sit flush with the hood. Should be able to be bent back.
Engine/Drivetrain: 9.5/10
The engine, how it runs, and how it's tuned, is almost flawless. Drivetrain is very smooth.
Suspension/Handling: 8/10
Suspension is not blown, car doesn't clunk, brakes stop well. However ABS light is on.
Interior: 7/10
Interior is very clean and has some nice upgrades. However the blue STi carpet isn't a perfect fit. And the door panels have some imperfections.
Body: 3/10
Needs paint for sure, and some bondo work. But most of the difficult areas are already done.
Other words..
The car runs and drives extremely well. So well that i'm going to hate to see it go.. The swap was done very well from what I can tell. And all of my work was to the highest degree. Nothing was skipped or spared, and nothing was cheap. One thing I must mention is that I literally got 29mpg on the highway before I hooked the cruise control up. That was driving 75-80mph with 2 pulls. I did the math twice, and got to the other side of Michigan and back using only 3/4th of a tank. Everything about this car is brilliant.
The body is really the only thing that needs work. A few more spots need to be buffed, and a few small dents need filling. There's also some moderate hail damage on the roof that I have not fixed yet. But if you're an autobody specialist, this would be perfect for you.
The good!
Perfect sleeper?
Rebuilt engine
349WHP and 361WTQ in a 2850lb car
29mpg highway! (Maybe 30 with cruise?)
Awesome tune
Top quality parts
Very clean install
Retains cruise control
Retains A/C
Added hood scoop air splitter
All serviceables done! Clutch, belts, filters, seals, gaskets, O-rings (Including all A/C and power steering O-rings) You could practically follow the OEM service guide/intervals for the engine, just like you bought a new car.
Nice interior
Good drivetrain (2004 WRX has thicker/stronger gears than 2002 and early 2003)
Good suspension that is not blown.
A legendary, classic rally car.
The bad:
Needs paint (Or if you're into plasti dip)
Needs some body work to fix up dents and stuff
Needs an alignment
Need tires. (They're drivable but well worn)
No spare tire/jack
ABS light is on
Needs a front grille (Current one has a broken tab and is held on one side by a zip-tie)
Missing the trim in the trunk that is attached behind the rear seat.
I have all, yes ALL receipts and records of EVERY little thing i've bought/done for this car. Clean title.
I'm asking $9,900 or best offer. No trades!
$12.2k invested! (Including what I paid for the car originally)
I'm located in Northville, Michigan 48168. SERIOUS BUYERS ONLY! And for the love of God, please do not contact me saying you'll only pay the Kelly Blue Book price. But this isn't craigslist, so I wouldn't expect that.

Feds Indict Gang-Banger
Twenty-five members of the vicious La Maria Salvatrucha (MS-13) South American street gang were indicted this week in federal court in Islip, Long Island, charged with 70 counts of murder, including the death of Mario Alberto Canton Quijada, 25, of Beach Channel Drive, who was found dead with multiple stab wounds on Beach 12 Street in Far Rockaway on March 17 last year.
Two of the men facing federal trial are Roger Alvarado of Queens and Heriberto Martinez of Central Avenue in Far Rockaway. Those two, along with a third, unindicted man, were found on the beach by police. Police say that uniformed officers on patrol on the boardwalk at about 12:34 a.m. on March 17, 2010, spotted three young men on the beach.
The cops went down on the sand to investigate the three and found Quijada with multiple stab wounds to his body.
An ambulance was called and EMS workers declared him dead at the scene.
The three men on the beach with the body were taken into custody and transported to the 101 Precinct in Far Rockaway for questioning.
At the time, local sources conjectured that the murder may have been the result of a fight between rival gang members.
The three men were arrested and transported to Queens Criminal Court for booking.
The three were identified by police as Diego Marroquin, 19, of Mott Avenue; Heriberto Martinez, 23, of Central Avenue and Roger Alvarado, 30, of Queens.
Marroquin and Martinez were charged in Queens Criminal Court with murder and criminal possession of a weapon.
State charges against Alvarado were brought later on, according to court sources.
Martinez is charged in the federal indictment with not only the murder of Quijada, but with an earlier murder in Central Islip (Long Island) in which a woman and her two-year-old son were shot and left in a secluded wooded area on the island.
All of the men are charged with a series of violent crimes, including attempted murder, conspiracy to murder rival gang members and assaults that left a number of people badly injured.
Court documents say that MS-13 is a violent street gang, made up primarily of illegal immigrants from El Salvador, Honduras and Guatemala.
During the past year, more than 120 gang members, including the leaders of the Long Island gang, have been arrested and convicted on federal racketeering and murder charges.
There is a large group in Hempstead (Long Island) and another in Suffolk County.
Police sources say, however, that a clique associated with the gang has moved into Far Rockaway.
MS-13 gang signs were found on Beach 113 Street last year.
If convicted, the indicted men face 20 years and up in prison. Those indicted for murder face life in prison with no parole.

I believe what you have is the Lawman ammo which is I believe their training ammunition just loaded with the gold dot bullet. The self defense ammunition still goes by Speer Gold Dot.
Edit to add: You have a strange box of ammo there. The number is that of the Speer Gold Dot SD ammo but the box is calling it lawman which I verified is there training label. WEIRD. I'd call Speer and ask what the heck you have.
Speer Ammo - Lawman

Do you organize your gardening paperwork? Keep track of what you grew and when? What you'd like to grow again? It is possible to garden without keeping any records. People do it all the time. But there are some very good reasons to keep at least some records, especially with regards to the organic vegetable garden and for me I've found keeping basic information from year-to-year to be incredibly helpful.
The essential gardening paperwork to keep are:
- Crop rotation records. A basic tenant of organic gardening is to rotate crops to help ward off diseases.
- Previous year's seed orders. Makes it easy to refer to when ordering new seeds.
- Planting guide for the season. So you know where to plant the current year's crop to maximize your planting area.
- General guide to planting dates for your region.
Non-essential, but nice to keep included:
- Magazine/newspaper articles relating to specific gardening interests
- Plant tags and records of trees, shrubs, and flowers planted
- An overall garden plan
Some people keep beautiful and detailed journals of what they've planted, how they thrived (or didn't), how they were cared for, pounds of harvest each year and the like. And that's great for those that enjoy it, but that's not me. I like to keep it simple, remember?
So my system consists of this very basic thrift store binder. Looking at this picture I sorta wish I had a more attractive binder. But, hey, it's easy to keep clean. You know…being vinyl and all. OK, it's not a thing of beauty, but it has been with me for about 15 years now so it's obviously doing it's job. And it's only a 1-inch binder because I just keep what I need to (sometimes I wish I remembered a certain plant and how it performed, but never enough to spend the time writing it all down). Inside the binder are two pockets and 5 dividers.
Here's what's inside the gardening binder:
- First inner pocket: The current plan for the vegetable garden, kept in a plastic page protector. This yearly dated plan makes it easy to rotate the crops through the raised beds so that the same crop is not in a bed two years in a row.
Why a page protector? This is the most important thing in my binder. I use it to know how many tomatoes, peppers, and such I need to start indoors from seed, and I take it with me outside to know where to put the the seeds I sow directly in the garden, as well as transplants. Without the page protector it gets wet, crumpled, and even carried away by the wind. Yeah, I know this very well. It actually took me awhile to figure out to keep it in a page protector. I should also mention here that this is not written in stone and there are many times I may change little things, like where the peas or basil end up. But the important rotations like tomatoes, peppers, and cole crops (broccoli, cabbage, etc.) do not change from this plan.
- First divider: overall garden plan. I created this to guide us as we were building raised beds and planting permanent varieties like fruit trees and asparagus. I find it helpful to see the big picture plan and to be able to update it as things change (plants die, something didn't work like I thought, a new bed is added…).
- All the previous years' vegetable bed plans. To be able to see crop rotation past varieties I've grown. This is where to make notes of what grew well or didn't or that you never want to plant again (say no to lemon balm…).
- The second divider holds last year's Organic Vegetable Garden Checklist. (Click for a free download!) The checklist for the current year hangs on the side of the refrigerator so I can refer to it often. Keeping the lists from year to year, like the vegetable bed plans, helps to remember things like the weather (knowing the average frost date and what actually happens in your garden) and when exactly the vegetables were planted.
Umm…that would be because I very rarely plant when I'm supposed to. My intentions are great, though. That's probably one of the things I like about vegetable gardening- each year is basically a start-over and a chance that I will finally get it right…
- The third section is for seed order records. It's helpful to see what was ordered and spent each year to refer to when ordering for a new season.
- The last two sections: Vegetable and flower information to be able to refer to, like dates for seed starting and fall and winter vegetable dates, varieties that grow well in our area and other plant guides that may be important. Most of the time you will be able to find time lines of what to accomplish each month in the garden as well as recommendations as to the varieties of plants that do well in your area.
So this little binder is my super-basic tool for keeping the paperwork I find most necessary to gardening. I used to have a lot more about flowers in here (bed plans, favorite combos, tags from plants I've planted, etc.), but I found I didn't refer to them as much, so I moved them to files in a file cabinet and this binder became mostly about vegetables.
How do you keep track of your garden? What do you think is important to keep from year to year?

Guest post by Beth Mole
Two Florida hospital employees have reportedly fallen ill with flulike symptoms after coming in contact with a patient suffering from the second confirmed case of MERS in the United States.
One employee has been admitted to the hospital and is being tested for the viral disease. The other is at home, according to media reports. Officials are also monitoring roughly 20 other health care workers possibly exposed to the deadly respiratory disease.
Scientists think the virus ...

Air Ride/ Air bags
Hey All,
Im looking for some places where i can be air ride/ air bag kits. my truck is 3/4 ton. Its a 1950 chevy. Im looking to put it on for show but i will be halling some stuff but not that heavy.
All Tips and Hits Are Greatly apperated
My 1950 chevy
Saw no one responded spike so thought I'd give you a hit-Try www.classicperform.com but I think you have to install a MustangII kit first... There are many other places like Air Suspension Technologies also- good luck!
I just ordered my airbag Mustang II kit from Fatman Fabrications ($1999 with full Must II kit, brakes, arms, crossmember, rack, and bags). Heidts makes a full kit for a bit more (I think $2700), and they also make an upgrade kit if you already have a Must II front end, they sell a set of converted lower A-arms, bags, shocks, mounts, and an adapter for your upper A-arm to put the bag where your coil-over used to be for $650. If you are wanting to build your own set up, or buy a rear-end kit, go to WWW.JustAirBags.com. They sell triangulated 4-link kits for $459 with the bags included. They also sell individual components for the do-it-your-self'er. They are where I'm getting my compressor and valves from. Speedway Motors sells allot of the Mustang II front end pieces you will need if you're peice-ing one together. Zeg's also sells the conversion kit if you already have a Must II front end. I think their kit is in the $350-$400 range, though. I got most of my information out of this month's Street Rodder Magazine and Street Rod Builder.
The 'hopper
try www.alteredaltitude.com. Those guys do a lot of airride, and have great pic's on there site to help you!

The kartboy endlinks are good, yes. And they are cheaper. You can get the spacers from most retailers that you get the endlinks from, they look like really think aluminum washers. I personally would not recommend them though.
I originally bought the kartboy ones, but due to my own fault buying the wrong front sway bar I damaged the bushings on the front endlinks. When I bought the right swaybar I was on a time crunch and could not wait for replacement bushings so I had Whiteline endlinks rush delivered to me to replace them.
This allowed me to try both on my car, and I still have the kartboy on the rear. Those will be changed out soon, when I get around to buying the Whiteline rears. The kartboy are a solid buy and work fine, but due to the design, and the urethane bushings they use, they make an odd rubber sliding squeak noise any time you go over speed bumps or hit sudden dips in the road. It almost sounds like when you go to get into a car that has worn out struts. The Whiteline are slightly stiffer and are silent. The Whiteline endlinks are just a better designed product.

Tasty Tuesday – Easy Crescent Rolls Perfect for Easter!
It was a blustery day in the Pacific Northwest today. Rainy, windy, a full on Spring Storm.
The kind of day when you need to pack in the carbs…
so my mind went to home made bread.
And my hands quickly followed..
This is a very easy recipe for crescent rolls – and who doesn't like those?
There is something about the way the dough is rolled up and soft
and warm and buttery and.. you get the idea.
I guarantee you will get rave reviews on these – and people will think you are an
impressive cook. And they are perfect for Easter Dinner!
(I will put the full recipe at end of post)
Here are the usual list of suspects – it's a small group but they carry a lot of weight..
I crack myself up –
Start by dissolving two packs of yeast into 3/4 cup of warm water.
Then add two eggs, 1/2 cup softened butter, 1 teaspoon salt, and
1/2 cup sugar. Mix together well.
(Still loving and learning my new camera!)
Pour 2 cups flour into mixture, beat until smooth.
Now add remaining 2 cups of flour and knead together.
Lets go ahead and mention the obvious. My hand looks horrible.. no – it really does.
This is not my typical kneading hand – that hand is holding the camera.
This hand looks old and freakishly chubby. I will admit the old – and I will also
admit that there may be some chubbiness somewhere on my body –
but not in my hands. Thanks for letting me get that out.
So knead the dough until smooth or until you get out all the
anger at your husband who forgot to set the garbage can out last night.
Then let the dough rise in a warm place for 1 hour.
It should be doubled in size. I of course use the cheaters method – I turn my
oven on for just a minute so it gets warm, then put the dough in there and turn
it off – works every time! Now you want to divide the dough into two balls.
Roll one out into a circle, approximately 12 -15 inches in diameter.
Spread the dough with butter, then cut into slices – a pizza cutter works well for this.
Roll dough up, starting from wide end. Set it point down on baking sheet.
Then cover with a towel and put back in warm place to raise for another hour.
(While they are rising go get your nails done)
I used both dough balls this time, but you could freeze one to fix later.
After they have risen, bake them in the oven at 400 degree's for 10 minutes.
I am going to add an addendum to this – I had a reader that followed these
instructions and her batch burned. I was using a stone to bake mine on and my oven
is old and senile She tried her next batch at 350 degrees for 9 minutes with
better results so I would recommend starting with those settings – Thanks Sheri!
When they come out of the oven – brush the tops with melted butter.
And drink in that homemade bread smell! Nothin better!
And now they are ready for their photo opp before my family comes home and devours them!
I served them up with my home made minestrone beef soup – ooohhhhh they were good!
Perfect dinner for a blustery day!
Give them a try – they really are simple but stunning!
Thanks for stopping by – next week I will post the soup recipe.
And come back later this week to see two projects I have been working on!
Crescent Rolls
- 2 (.25 ounce) packages active dry yeast
- 3/4 cup warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)
- 1/2 cup white sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup shortening or butter
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup butter, softened
- Dissolve yeast in warm water.
- Stir in sugar, salt, eggs, shortening, and 2 cups of flour. Beat until smooth. Mix in remaining flour until smooth. Scrape dough from side of bowl. Knead dough, then cover it and let rise in a warm place until double (about 1-1/2 hours).
- Punch down dough. Divide in half. Roll each half into a 12-inch circle. Spread with butter. Cut into 10 to 15 wedge. Roll up the wedges starting with the wide end. Place rolls with point under on a greased baking sheet. Cover and let rise until double (about 1 hour).
- Bake at 350 to 400 degrees F (205 degrees C) for 8 -12 minutes or until golden brown. Brush tops with butter when they come out.

Hi! I found you over at Balancing Beauty and Bedlam. I posted a recipe for Zucchini casserole that calls for Pillsbury Crescent Rolls. I was wondering if you have ever tried these as a substitute for canned in a recipe? They look so yummy!
If you have a minute, feel free to drop by my blog and see if you think your rolls would work as a sbstitute in the casserole.
I prefer homemade when possible, so I hope these will work!

The shooting of Kendrec McDade has caused controversy after police shot him after a fake 911 call. The student was shot by police several times, even though he was unarmed and had committed no crime.
Nearly two months ago, NewsOne reported on the tragic case of Kendrec McDade (pictured), the California college student and football star who was killed by Pasadena cops while they were responding to a robbery. Now that McDade's autopsy report has been released, it's been revealed that he was shot seven times at close range and handcuffed afterward, according to the L.A. Times.
After cell phone store worker Oscar Carrillo lied to authorities that the two men who stole his backpack were armed, Jeff Newlen and Mathew Griffin came to the scene. Soon after, they began pursuing McDade who was on foot. Reportedly, when the student allegedly reached for his waistband, one of the officers, who was said to be sitting in the patrol car, fired four rounds at McDade. The second officer, who was on foot, fired yet another four rounds because he "believ[ed] his partner was involved in a firefight."

Where I stayed
Myre-Big Island State Park
Had a great breakfast at the holiday Inn. Sausage and scrambled eggs and of course biscuits and gravy. Got going around 09:30, top down under clear blue skies. I really had not decided where to stop today. Just play it by nose…eh ear sort of thing. The weather turned sour in Wisconsin so up went the top and I just drove. Stopped at a couple rest areas along the way, man they do a great job of these. Clean, relaxing etc. A lot od construction on I-90(the interstate) Minnesota is beautiful. Reminds me of Ontario. I stopped today's journey at the Myre-Big Island State Park just south of the city of Albert Lea. Just like our parks very peaceful and quiet…hmmm too quiet…but I digress… The park is situated on Albert Lea Lake. Just gorgeous. Car is running as expected. Couldn't find a place to buy a drink on Sunday..weird. The little bugs that bite but are hard to spell are coming out so I'm going to start a fire. Get up early and head west. Took some pictures.

This comes under the category of economic life isn't (necessarily) fair.
Specifically, the Center for Retirement Research at Boston College is out with a new study that makes an important, but greatly underappreciated point about health care spending. The current health care costs of unhealthy retirees are higher than that of healthy retirees. No surprise there, right? Here's the rub: Healthy retirees actually face higher total health care costs over their remaining lifetime.
In Does Staying Helathy Reduce Your Lifetime Health Care Costs? scholars Wei Sun, Anthony Webb, and Natalia Zhivan illustrate the basic idea with this example. They estimate that the lifetime health care costs for a couple turning 65 in 2009 in which one or both spouses suffer from a chronic disease is $220,000. The figure includes insurance premiums and the cost of nursing home care. And 5 percent can expect to spend more than $465,000. (Chronic diseases include diabetes, cancer, lung disease, heart disease, and stroke.)
The comparable numbers for a healthy couple free of chronic disease are substantially higher, at $260,000 and $570,000, respectively.
What's going on? The basic reason is that someone free of chronic illness will tend to live longer and, therefore, incur greater health care expenses over their lifetime compared to someone suffering from chronic illness. For one thing, a healthy 80 year old has a remaining life expectancy 29 percent longer than an unhealthy peer. For another, folks that make it to age 80 free of chronic diseases can still expect to spend a third of their remaining years struggling with one. Finally, healthy people are at much greater risk of living long enough to end up in an expensive nursing home.
The personal finance implication: If you're aging and healthy don't assume that you won't have to tap deep into savings to meet steep health care bills. (This is not a brief against good health, byt the way.)
The public policy inference is the common perception that the one way to reduce health care expenditures is to drastically cut down on obesity, diabetes, and other severe health issues is probably wrong. Success agaisnt disease may well mean that we spend much more on health, not less.
But is a cause for celebration. It's a good thing if we end up reducing chronic diseases and spending even more of our wealth on health care. A healthy society could be a more expensive society, but it will also be happier and more productive. In other words, we can afford to be healthy.
Who says economics is a dismal science.

Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
I am one of many people that purchased a Samsung TV and after just over a year the power supply went out. This is another whole story. I have a In-Home Extended Service Plan with CPS, Consumer Priority Service. I called them Monday November 23, 2009. The customer service person took my information to file a claim. I thought I asked all the right questions, this being my first claim with them. Not one time did this person ever tell me they needed the sales receipt and copy of my membership card. Please keep in mind I had to register my plan on-line with the comapny when I got it. I received a email requesting this later that evening. Of course I sent it in and waited for a call or email telling me when a service person would be out to repair my POS Samsung. I called today 11-25-2009 and asked about the status of my claim. The person told me I would receive a email telling be the next step. NEXT STEP good grief....just call a repair service company and have them come out and fix my TV. So I get a email asking me for a credit card number. NO where and I mean no where does any of their paperwork or website mention about this STEP. Shame on this company to not disclose this anywhere in paperwork or on their website. They do mention on their homepage "Rapid Claim System" If this is rapid I would hate to see slow.
I talked to their Department Manger "Ralph" he gave me a lot of "I Don't Know" he didn't even have a phone number to call his supervisor. I wonder who he calls when he is sick or really needs help from him? All I received from him was "every one has to give us a credit card" I requested a refund on my policy and he didn't know who I needed to talk to or how I went about getting it. When I asked Ralph about why don't the CS person tell us on the first phone call they need the sales invoice and membership number, or anything about giving them a credit card number. His words were" they don't know all the steps it takes to make a claim" WHAT? I would think it might be helpful if they would know that. Bottom line, he was no help at all and he just had a lot of "I don't know" even when I asked the question is there someone else I can talk to that would know? NOPE he didn't know that either. Customer service was at a -9!
It's a shame that companies are allowed to not disclose all the steps to file a claim up front. So be careful if you decided you want to do any business with this company.

Drunk with Power II
We mentioned this about a month ago, but this in today's San Antonio Current fleshes it out a little:...Fill glass with crushed opposition and pour in the rum. Garnish with more money and serve with straws.
A connection between Bacardi USA and three members of Texas' Congressional delegation has sparked criticism from a watchdog group who alleges undisclosed money, undue influence, and anti-Cuban sentiment are behind a pro-Bacardi bill - not trademark protection.
U.S. Representatives Lamar Smith and Henry Bonilla, both Republicans representing parts of San Antonio, and House Majority Leader Tom DeLay (R-Sugar Land) have their hands in the bill (HB 4225, with its Senate counterpart as SB 2373) either as sponsors, co-sponsors, or as recipients of Bacardi's largesse.

The United Way of Waco-McLennan County is a locally incorporated, nonprofit organization dedicated to generate funding for and auditing the performance of its local member agencies and programs. These agencies and programs provide care and support to more than 41,000 people in our community. The money raised through employee campaigns, corporate and individual gifts go to human service organizations that meet a variety of critical needs in the local community, including health care, advocacy programs, childcare, food and shelter, life skills development and much more.
A key advantage of being a United Way agency is the luxury of spending more time serving our community and less time fundraising. The ultimate purpose of United Way is to connect our citizens through a coordinated and monitored giving program to care for our neighbors.
What does United Way do?
United Way is a locally incorporated, nonprofit organization that collects and allocates voluntary contributions to our local member agencies, which provide health and human services.
How many programs does United Way fund?
We strive for excellence in helping those in need and are continually updating our programs based on the needs in Waco and McLennan County. Currently we are funding over 25 different programs.
How does United Way decide which agencies to fund?
Any local 501(C)(3) nonprofit organization that produces measurable outcomes, effective results and is working to meet the needs of our community can apply to become a United Way funded agency. The agency must meet United Way's stringent standards to be eligible.
Why not give directly to the agency?
United Way funds a network of care to insure that all services needed in our community are available. By making a donation, you are ensuring agencies and programs receive funding throughout the year.
I never use agency services, so why should I give?
You never know when you or a family member may need a service. Job loss, illness, disability, fire, natural disasters, mental disorders and other unexpected events know no boundaries. Through your giving, you can assure these services are there when and if you or your loved ones need them.
How are donations distributed?
The United Way Allocations Committee provides the vital service of monitoring the distribution of funds to United Way's partner agencies. The committee, comprised of volunteers from the community, meets with representatives from each agency, reviews the amount requested and carefully scrutinizes financial records and programs. This process takes place over several meetings and cumulates with recommendations to the UW Board regarding the amount of support allotted to each agency for the coming year. As the year progresses, the agencies file reports regarding expenditures and progress made in meeting goals and objectives.

Reasons why WordPress is ideal for SMEs – Part 3 and final
In the previous parts we have seen several important aspects that reinforce the idea that WordPress is the best platform for small businesses.
In addition to its adaptability and efficiency, now we will see another aspect, low cost.
1. Grows with your business
If your business grows and you need to add more content to your website, WordPress lets you do it easily. It's very simple to create new pages or modify existing ones, and we have seen that turn WordPress into something more potent as an electronic store can be as simple as installing a plugin.
So if you need more from WordPress, don't worry, WordPress can handle.
2. User management and permissions
If your company has many employees and want to edit your web, you may like to know that WordPress brings, by default, user management, and permissions. In this way, you can ensure that different users of your website can only see and touch what you want.
3. Save money
We have already seen that the range of options that WordPress offers, from professionals to work with, themes or plugins that you will use, WordPress fits nicely in your pocket.
And WordPress is free. The only fee that you have to pay is a hosting provider. As your budget and needs grow, you can access professional and better features. But in the meantime, you can use all the tools without spending a dollar.
4. Mobile
We talk about the importance of phones these days and as you can imagine, it is important that your website looks good on mobile.
Fortunately, many of the themes available for WordPress are responsive, that means that adapt their appearance to the size of the screen, offering a fantastic user experience. In fact, you can even create native apps to access to your website!
5. Friend of SEO and search engines
While you may not be aware of it, when you decide that your business will be on the web, you also decide your business to appear on the first search results. Otherwise, how would people find you?
Unfortunately, it is difficult to know with certainty what concrete actions will help you to improve the positioning of your website in these results. Now, that does not mean there is nothing that we can do to "improve" our choices.
By default, WordPress is a very good friend of search engines and shows them the information as they like, but if you complement it well with any SEO plugins that are available, you will facilitate their work and above, will thank you.
In short …
Like it or not, businesses are increasingly dependent on the Internet, even those that seem very "local".
Having a website will help to know your business, who are you and what do you do, therefore, it's very important.
If you have an SME, you need to have a platform that allows you to create and maintain the web at an affordable cost and with a series of guarantees (security, standard, not obsolete, easy to use, customizable and more).

Julian Assange is prepared to stay in the Ecuador embassy in London for five years rather than face the US legal system, the country's foreign minister said today.
Ricardo Patino also said that the Wikileaks founder would not be smuggled out of the embassy in the boot of a car.
Mr Patino said: "I hope Mr Assange will not grow old and die in our embassy — but we are defending human rights." Mr Patino met Mr Assange on Sunday and said he was "in good spirits" despite the "limitations of his accommodations".
Mr Assange fled to the embassy on June 19 last year to escape extradition to Sweden where he is wanted for questioning over sex assault allegations by two women, which he denies.
He fears that if he is sent to Sweden he may be extradited to the United States over the leaking of US government papers on the Wikileaks website. Mr Patino made his comments after meeting Foreign Secretary William Hague about how to resolve the deadlock over Mr Assange, who faces arrest if he leaves the embassy.
A Foreign Office spokesman said the ministers had agreed to set up a "working group" to find a way through the impasse, but added that no "substantive progress" had been made.
The spokesman said: "The Foreign Secretary was clear once again that any resolution would need to be within the laws of the United Kingdom."Reuse content

The wife of deported French terrorist Willie Brigitte has failed to visit her husband despite being granted visitation rights on Thursday by France's top judge.
Melanie Brown was expected to make a long-awaited reunion with her 35-year-old husband yesterday but there was no sight of her at the maximum security Fleury-Merogis prison on the outskirts of Paris.
Ms Brown, the former Australian soldier who converted to Islam to marry Brigitte, arrived in Paris two weeks ago to visit her husband, who she has not seen since he was deported in October. A few days after arriving, she was taken into custody by the French anti-terrorist service.
When released three days later on January 24, she told her Sydney lawyer, Stephen Hopper, she was convinced the relationship had no future after discussions with French anti-terrorist authorities and with her mother-in-law, who had flown from the island of Guadeloupe.
Ms Brown felt duped. Yet she told Brigitte's French lawyer, Jean-Claude Durimel, at a meeting on Wednesday that she still wanted to see her husband.
"I saw her and she spoke about a number of things that are confidential," he said.
"I know she has intimate things she has to say to her spouse. It's their private life, which doesn't concern me and I won't be with her when she has the interview with her husband."
Mr Durimel said his client did not welcome the continued media interest in his case. "He just wants to be forgotten."
France's top terrorist judge, Jean-Louis Brugiere, granted Ms Brown permission to visit Brigitte for 30 minutes.
Brigitte is believed to represent the most serious al-Qaeda link in Australia.

Organic Fashion & Textiles
Dirty Fashion
The fashion industry is the world's second most polluting industry after oil. The textile industry uses more water than any other industry apart from agriculture.
Cotton has been called the world's dirtiest crop, owing to its heavy use of insecticides and water, high Green House Gas emissions, and land use.
In 2013/14, 26 million tonnes of cotton was produced globally, on around 33 million hectares of land in a hundred countries, using 2.5% of the world's farmland. One hundred million households, most in the some of the world's poorest countries, are dependent on cotton farming. As well as GHG emissions, cotton is responsible for 16% of global insecticide use – more than any other crop. Globally, cotton production releases 220 million tonnes of CO2e, and one tonne of non-organic cotton produces 1.8 tonnes of CO2e.
Products carrying the Soil Association symbol are made from organic fibres, have met strict environmental and social criteria during processing and have been certified by an independent, third party along the whole supply chain. The Soil Association was a founder member of GOTS – the Global Organic Textile Standard – look for the Soil Association or the GOTS symbol when buying organic cotton.
The Soil Association certifies to the Global Organic Textile Standards and Textile Exchange's Organic Content Standard (OCS). The whole supply chain from field through to manufacture and then onto final product must be certified, and we check against environmental and social standards
There are several reasons why organic textiles are kinder, cleaner and better:
- Organic fibres are grown without using harmful pesticides or genetically modified organisms so promote a healthier farm and environment.
- We don't allow harmful manufacturing chemicals in organic textile production, so it's better for wildlife and workers.
- Social conditions are high in organic textile factories, and organic cotton production can help farmers find a way out of poverty.
- Animal welfare is at the heart of organic systems, so is better for animals growing our fibres.
- Our organic textiles don't contain allergenic, carcinogenic or toxic chemicals.
Find out more about our campaign to support organic farmers & people working in the textiles industry
Fast fashion is difficult to resist – I hope this is changing though. People are becoming much more interested in buying good style and quality that will last, rather than something that will fall apart after a couple of washes.Safia Minney - Founder of People Tree

Bankruptcy court OKs bidding for sale of THQ
A U.S. bankruptcy court has approved the bidding between a potential buyer and unsecured creditors for the sale of Agoura Hills game developer THQ Inc., the company said Wednesday.
The court approved the bid submitted by Clearlake Capital Group L.P. to buy all of THQ for about $60 million, including a new $10 million note, as the opening bid for an auction, THQ said. It also approved procedures allowing others to bid for the individual assets or the entire company.
Bids for THQ's assets will be considered over the bid for the entire company only if the total sales of the assets are more than the price offered by an individual bidder for all of THQ, the company said.
Bids must be received by 9 a.m. EST Jan. 22. The auction will be at 3 p.m. that day. The hearing on the sale is scheduled for 9:30 a.m. Jan. 23., and the closing will occur Jan. 24.
Clearlake has joined with Wells Fargo Capital Finance to finance THQ temporarily with $37.5 million so it can operate during the interim period and sell its assets.
"We will now know definitively by Jan. 23 where we stand," THQ Chairman and CEO Brian Farrell said in a statement.
The game developer filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection Dec. 19.

Spoilers for the mission "Death Factory" below..... YOU'VE BEEN WARNED.
Okay, so I've scraped struggled and clawed my way to get through hard mode with suit only and its been hard... really hard but I've done it so far. Yet the R&D section of the "Death Factory" level seems to be almost impossible.
If you've beaten it with both the infiltrator and suit only bonuses I really wanna know how. I've tried sneaking over to the valve on the far side to cause steam to go everywhere the problem here is that well.. the "patient" sees you and there goes the infiltrator bonus. If I could JUST find a way past him undetected then I think I could do this as I could use the smoke cover to strangle the doctor and dump his body and get on the bridge. I guess last resort would be killing the patient by throwing the syringe at him BUT that isn't something I wanna do... civilian death = big point loss. If anyone here is skilled enough to pull of suit only on hard mode well... I'd really appreciate some advice.

If adults want to watch other adults engaging in consensual sex acts they are entitled to do so, we are told.
Savvy producers of heterosexual pornography are also quick to point to a small but growing body of porn that is marketed to couples, or women, in an attempt to persuade us that their industry is "fun", "sexy" and "harmless". Porn, we are told, has gone mainstream.
What is missing from recent public debate, however, is an analysis of the themes that thread through much of today's most sought-after porn.
It is widely accepted that porn is marketed and produced primarily for men, and is about how men - not women - want sex.
Women are commonly portrayed as existing for male sexual pleasure, willing recipients of whatever men love to do to them.
Dr Robert Jensen, an author and respected journalism professor at the University of Texas, has traced growing trends in adult porn. He warns that the content of pornography is "increasingly cruel, degrading and hostile to women".
The appeal to men, he observes, "is the sexualization of male dominance and female subordination".
(Warning: the following material contains graphic detail that might be disturbing to some readers.)
Jensen has researched the content of contemporary mass-marketed pornography in the United States for some years. His initial review of "typical" videos rented by the "typical" customer, provided to him by his local video store, revealed common threads.
Jensen found that many sex scenes involved one woman with groups of men.
Double or triple penetration of the woman was another common feature.
Invariably the woman was subjected to verbal abuse, which Jensen observed progressed through the videos in its "ugliness".
Video covers themselves were misogynistic.
Why is it that porn-using men are turned on by young women being referred to as little bitches or sluts?
Put to one side the argument that pornography is freedom of speech. What does pornography say about its mainly male audience? About men? About masculinity?
Jensen makes a basic and provocative observation: "Masculinity in this culture is in trouble".
Themes of woman-hating and subtle (and sometimes not-so-subtle) violence that saturates most of these "mainstream' videos" are lost to most men whose use of porn comes in short bursts, says Jensen.
This is because most men view porn as a masturbation facilitator, with viewing often ending once ejaculation has been achieved.
Jensen believes pornographers need men to identify with the men in the videos, not to have empathy for the women. He notes that pornography requires that men repress empathy, yet "empathy is part of what makes us human".
Once men ask: "Do women really want to be penetrated by two men at the same time?" the pornographic game is over. Pornography can work only if women remain "less than human".
Pornography is big business. In the United States some 13,000 new porn videos are produced each year, with more than 700 million videos and DVDs rented annually. Last year alone, American consumers, mostly male, spent an estimated US$12 billion ($18.4 billion) on adult porn, an industry that nets around US$60 billion globally.
This does not, of course, include the massive global consumption of free porn of any genre that is accessed online.
Jensen notes that just as we have come to see that racism is a problem of white people, sexual domination is a problem of men.
As a society we need a shift, locally and globally, in the collective male consciousness about sexual dominance. Men need to unpack attitudes, beliefs and behaviours that perpetuate the sexual denigration of women.
If pornography teaches us anything, it is the need to reconsider masculinity, and what it means to be a man.

Read an Excerpt
From Rachel Adams's Introduction to The Awakening and Selected Short Fiction
Chopin may have begun her serious efforts as a writer out of grief. As a young widow, she contended with the provincialism of Cloutierville for two more years before returning to St. Louis to live with her mother, Eliza. When Eliza died of cancer just one year later, Chopin was heartbroken. But she also began to participate in the intellectual life of the city and to make serious efforts to establish herself as a professional author. Although she moved in literary circles, she resisted alliance with any particular group. A brief membership in the Wednesday Club, a select coterie of women intellectuals who gathered for conversation and debate, only strengthened her distaste for such organized activities. More than once, her fiction depicts women reformers or intellectuals in unflattering terms. Concerned about his wife's erratic behavior in The Awakening, Léonce consults the family doctor, who asks him if she has "been associating of late with a circle of pseudo-intellectual women-super-spiritual superior beings." These words drip with a disdain that is unrelieved by authorial commentary. Struggling to find venues for her work, Chopin wrote regularly and kept careful records of submissions and rejections. At first, she was most successful with regional publications, placing her poem "If It Might Be" in a Chicago magazine called America and short stories in the Philadelphia Music Journal and St. Louis Post-Dispatch. It proved more difficult to access national periodicals like The Atlantic Monthly, Harper's, and Century. At a time when the social conservatism of the Victorian era still prevailed, Chopin's treatment of such controversial topics as extramarital affairs, venereal disease, murder, and miscegenation often made her work unpalatable to the major literary magazines. Eventually she would break into this market by publishing stories in nationally circulating periodicals such as Vogue, Century, and Youth's Companion.
Among Chopin's literary influences was the French writer Guy de Maupassant, whose realism and formal sophistication she admired. Her respect for his frank treatment of taboo subjects inspired her to translate a number of his stories, but their controversial nature made publication difficult. A more conventional early model was the eminent realist author and magazine editor William Dean Howells, who sent her a brief note of praise for her short story "Boulot and Boulotte." For the depiction of strong, independent female characters, Chopin looked to Sarah Orne Jewett and Mary Wilkins Freeman. She has frequently been grouped with these women as a writer of local color fiction, a genre unjustly dismissed by several generations of critics. More recently, scholars have seen her use of local color techniques as a strategy to gain a foothold in the literary marketplace and to stake a claim in contemporary debates about gender, race, and region. From this perspective, her short story "A Gentleman of Bayou Têche," in which an artist from the city attempts to exploit a humble fisherman for his "local color," reads like an allegory for the regional writer's confrontation with the literary establishment. Reviewers of Chopin's first collection, Bayou Folk (1894), failed to notice such instances of understated social commentary. While generally positive, contemporary responses hailed her depiction of charming local details, rather than her treatment of social issues. Reviewers found a more complicated outlook and maturity of authorial voice in her second collection, A Night in Acadie (1897). An essay in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch praising Chopin's artistry and psychological insight urged readers to think beyond the associations with local color, to recognize "gifts . . . that go deeper than mere patois and local description." A second review demurred, describing Chopin as a specialist in the "childlike southern people who are the subject of her brief romances" and expressing regret that some of the stories were "marred by one or two slight and unnecessary coarseness [sic]."
Despite considerable appreciation by her contemporaries, Chopin would have remained neglected by literary history if it were not for the recovery of The Awakening in the 1960s. Its renewed popularity also brought attention to the whole corpus of her work, which includes numerous poems, essays, and short stories, as well as her first novel, At Fault. These texts illuminate many of the concerns of The Awakening but are also of considerable interest in their own right. Read in its entirety, Chopin's fiction introduces a broad swath of personalities, from impoverished blacks and Acadians of the Bayou to plantation elites and urban intellectuals. Whereas some stories turn seemingly trivial events-the shopping spree of an abstemious middle-aged woman, a country girl's visit to the circus-into dramatic interior conflicts, others deal with more overtly controversial issues such as miscegenation, venereal disease, murder, and extramarital sex. The relatively circumscribed geographical parameters of Chopin's fiction extend from lively, cosmopolitan New Orleans to the insular, rural byways of nineteenth-century Louisiana. Unlike the minutely detailed, inclusive catalogues of realist fiction, her preference is for the sketch, which conveys an impression rather than a sharply delineated picture. Frequently, Chopin writes as an insider whose intimacy with her subjects is conveyed through the use of local dialect and allusions. As a result, whereas the human dramas are readily accessible, contemporary readers may struggle to gain a precise understanding of character and locale.
