I told myself I'd try to stay away from thinking about hockey, but thoughts aren't always in your control. And my own favorite team didn't help either. The Chicago Blackhawks decided to hold a charity hockey game with current and past 'Hawk players, giving fans the chance (and most likely only chance) to see 'Hawk players on the ice this hockey season. I couldn't attend the event, so I tried very hard to avoid the news and pictures of it because I knew it would only throw my already fragile psychological state into complete chaos. I failed. It makes me so happy and sad to see Andrew Lad, Brain Campbell, and Adam Burish play alongside with Jonathan Toews and Patrick Kane once again. I looked through dozens of pictures, watched the Harlem Globetrotter-like antics put on during the game, and realized the event was one hell of a good time. As I had feared, the event made the lockout even more despicable. It's scary how the process of dealing with the NHL lockout has made me follow the five stages of grief so closely. Here's a short and funny video explaining the five stages. 1. Denial The new CBA negotiations hung over last year's hockey season, yet I saw no fan really express pessimism about a new deal being made. I know I used recent lockout scares in other leagues as precedent for what I hoped would happen between the NHL and NHLPA; there would maybe be a short time of disagreement, but there would eventually be an agreement. In short, I was in denial that anything like what happened in 2003 would happen again. Even as reports surfaced of negotiations not going well, I still held optimism about there being a season. There just wasn't any way my beloved NHL would not happen. 2. Anger The NHL's proposal, the NHLPA's three counter proposals, and the extremely quick denial of such proposals by the NHL cemented the idea both sides were more focused on getting the upper-hand on the other side than coming together and making a season happen. It was then that I also entered stage two: anger. I didn't want anything to do with the NHL. I swore to not wear my jersey until the lockout ended. I was done with all the foolishness. No longer was I going to talk or think about the NHL because they didn't care about me as a fan, so why should I care about them? 3. Bargaining The weather in Indiana has shifted into being overcast and in the 4os. This makes for perfect hockey weather. My hometown friends thought so too, so they decided they were going to start playing hockey…all while I am stuck in a part of Indiana where I am complimented on my Redskins jersey when I am actually wearing a Blackhawks jersey. My anger turned into a desperate plea. If I couldn't participate in hockey, I at least wanted to watch it in the time being. 4. Depression Since I couldn't play or watch hockey, I found myself on YouTube watching old Blackhawks videos. Instead of making me happy, the videos made me cry. My hockey depression was a result of a long chain of irrational thoughts. I entered into a state of mind where I was convinced the lockout would never end and I'd never get to see the Blackhawks play again. These videos were all I had left. There would be no new Blackhawk memories, no new friends made at the United Center, and no new nights of watching the games with my friends. 5. Acceptance Once I slept on the issue, I realized how ridiculous such thoughts were. The news didn't get any better, though. That same morning, the 2013 Winter Classic was cancelled. It was then that I finally accepted the fate of the 2012-13 NHL season. The canceling of the league's most popular event signaled to me the league had stopped caring whether or not there was a season. Plain and simple: the NHL season is not going to happen.

should i line-x the whole damn thing or what?
having a convertible 4x4 like my 78 bronco can cause all kinds of problems from mud and water flying in to leaves and crap falling in when its parked and my rubber matting all over the truck is cracking from UV exposure so...should i line-x the whole damn interior, or would this make it unbearably loud? anybody got any good ideas on tuff interior options for me?
Can't get much better than rubber. Throw a tarp over it when not in use. That will help save it from the UV damage.
Stacy David did it to Crazy Horse on Trucks.
so i should just do it then? who cares about noise anyway right....just get a louder stereo
The linx is a pretty good noise barrior so it should not be to loud, more than what you have but if there is not top just how much can hear other than wind
I say go for it!
i cant hear nuthin but wind and little chevy's screaming as they get ran over.......
I'm just finishing up my 86 F150 and decided to try out undercoating on the floor (rubberized, similar to Line-X).
It turned out great, and I'm hoping that it will keep the floor pan from rusting out the way it had prior to the resto. I've sandblasted the underside, coated it as well, and hoping this will give me a good sound barrier. The old tin floor was rusted out under the mats, and esp. where your heels go (such as clutch pedal, gas, etc...).
Hard to get a good view with the waterspots on the lens, but loving the coating already
Do It
I did the entire interior tub on my 83 K-5, I did all the prep work (pulled the seats and media blasted the inside) then took it to the local Rhino Lining facility and had them shoot it. Line-x is good but after using Rhino Lining in all my pick ups that is the route I went. Good luck to ya..
i knew it had to have been done by someone. the underside of my bronco has already been sprayed with some sort of rubberized coating, but what sota prep do the rhino liner/line-x guys want done before they will spray it on the interior? i assume i should sandblast it or something. some of the floor is rusting out but just little spots-will the coating just fill the little holes or should i replace the floor pan? and what the diff. between rhino liner and line-x? and do they come in different colors? it gets to be 115 degrees here in chico and the black could turn my truck into a solar oven! thanks for the response.
Rhino Lining, Line-X, Hippo Liner, etc... may not inhibit the rust, just seal it in for a bit while it works away at eating more of the floor pan (although on their web site they do state: "By forming a permanent bond with the surface of your truck bed, the lining prohibits rust, corrosion and surface abrasion from damaging the truck..."). Personally I would get rid of the rust anyway possile, wether it be replacing the floor pan, using Rust-Mort, or whatever...but get rid of it, not just seal it in.
My thought is, if you just cover it up for now, it will come back, and even if you plan on selling later on, somebody else will inherit the underlying problem.
I don't know specifically what Rhino Liner or the other companies want done as prep work (our nearest facility is 4 hours away), yet a friend decided to try some Hippo Liner on his fender flares and bottom panels of his S104x4...and it ended up peeling off. He said he scuffed up the paint...
I ended up replacing most of the floor pan in my truck, sandblasted the metal that was still good, DA sanding everything down (rough sanding where the liner was going), and sprayed the floor pan with a rust proofing/inhibitor primer (from Rust Check) prior to using the undercoating. I don't know if it was the right way, but figured the rust inhibitor would keep any micro traces of rust left on the old metal from activating again if any oxygen does get to it through the liner, and the liner should have a good bond to the primer (I hope).
Rhino Liner and others do have various colours available, so you can go with whatever colour is available (only thing, light colours may show the dirt quick) and hopefully keep the truck a bit cooler in that heat (must be nice... trade ya some of our cooler temps...).

Ripoff Report
MOVING EXPERTS14 - 30 rue de Mantes BAT D Colombes, Other France
MOVING EXPERTS Destroyed our property our move from France and now won't pay us the insurance money to recover damages. Colombes France
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
My wife and I were moving internationally and used the Moving Experts company to move us from Le Bono, France to San Diego, CA USA. We paid in full for the move and insurance to cover any damages during the move. We did not take possesion of our items for roughly 6 months so we had an addtional storage cost along with additional insurance that was required and we paid in full. When we finally took delivery of our items at our home in San Diego, CA, there were damages that we claimed insurace against within the alloted 15 days.
We took photos and wrote up the damages that were encurred. These items were provided to Moving Experts in both electronic email and physical certified mail form. The damages based on original assessment of insurance coverage was over 3000.00 Euros for the value of the items. After we were told to get local assesments to repair the damages for some furniture, we thought it was a done deal and were waiting to be informed of our claim approval.
So it has now been about 9 months since we made our claim and gobs of emails have be volleyed back and forth, with most of the emails coming from us. The person helping us has since left the company and this explains why we suddenly stopped getting any updates from her. Also, no one from the company ever responded to let us know she had left the company either.
We have called several times now, and have also spoken to several folks at the company. We have not had a return call nor have we had the director contact us to find out what the heck is going on. In fact he now won't take our calls. This is the same person (the director) the handled our initial moving deal and that offered his fathers contact information in San Diego, CA because he was a captain and I sail myself.
We desperately want our items repared or replaced. We have moved several times internationally and have never had this type of experiences. This is a total shame and completely unethical behavior for a company (Moving Experts) you hire and entrust the care and safety of your personal belongings only to be rippped off and scammed in the end.

As rain turned to hail, about 20 men, women and children pulled their raincoats tighter and followed a man with a large wooden cross from the Steamboat Springs School District offices to the nearby LIFT-UP Food Bank.
The Good Friday ritual is Steamboat's annual interpretation of the Stations of the Cross -- a worldwide church tradition wherein Christians remember 14 places along the route from Jesus' trial to his tomb.
In Jerusalem, the stations include the place where Simon helped Jesus carry the cross, the place where Jesus fell and the place where Jesus was nailed to the tree. Christians follow the route as a pilgrimage on Good Friday and as a reminder of their beliefs.
"When Jewish people gather for Passover to remember being freed in Egypt, they say 'when I was a slave' and 'God led us out of bondage,'" said Larry Oman, pastor of the United Methodist Church. "So there's that sense in religious ritual where it becomes contemporary. Through this walk, Good Friday is a part of our living experience. It's not just looking back."
In Steamboat, the "stations" have been redefined as places that evoke the spirit of Jesus' life.
They stopped at the LIFT-UP Thrift Store as a symbol of Christ's ministry to the poor. They stopped at the Steamboat Springs School District building as a symbol of Christ's identification with children and at the food bank to symbolize Christ's dedication to the hungry.
The Stations of the Cross has been organized by the Steamboat Springs Ministerial Association for more than a decade and is open to all denominations.
Steamboat's pilgrims met at the United Methodist Church at noon, despite the cold and pouring rain.
"This is nothing compared to what our Lord went through," Louise McLeod said. "We can handle a little rain."
Fellow pilgrim Jack Rapp agreed. "It's Good Friday, the day our Lord died for us. There's no reason why we wouldn't partake in this."

Could construction on Scott Boulevard be causing more crime?
Tom O'Sullivan with the Boone County Sheriff's Department said they have put more patrols in the Bellview and Scott Boulevard area.
Several of the tenants on Bellview have fallen victim to tire slashings in the past few days.
Landlords are now saying the construction in the area is causing some of the problem and said the sooner the bridge work is done, the better off everyone will be.
"I don't think they're doing it because of the bridge work, but I do think that probably makes it easier for them to do it. Two out of three nights and get away with it and have a place to escape," said property owner, Derek Kent.
O'Sullivan said, "We try and get out there, to try and move around and be a presence and hopefully deterrent for this future type of activity."
The escape route Kent and his renters think the tire slashers are taking is the trail behind the complexes.
O'Sullivan said with construction being right next to the trail it could be a possibility allowing people to escape without being caught.
The bridge will be out of service for a few weeks, but O'Sullivan said they will adapt to whatever they need to in order to patrol properly.
Kent said he is aware of the problem and everyone is on high alert about it.
There have not been any reports of tire slashings since Sunday.

France says Vatican has not issued response for proposed ambassador
Despite media reports that Pope Francis refused the candidate that France proposed as its next ambassador to the Holy See, the French government has yet to receive an official response from the Vatican, said a spokesperson for the French government.
"For the moment, we wait," said Stephane Le Foll.
During a press briefing Wednesday in Paris, Le Foll confirmed that Pope Francis met with the proposed candidate, Laurent Stefanini. However, Le Foll discounted reports claiming the pope did not approve the nomination.

On Jan. 16, we successfully hosted the fun and fancy Petworth Kids' Inaugural Ball.
On December 1, 1955, a shy, unassuming woman became internationally prominent.Rosa Parks never intended to have one seemingly simple decision transform her life and history. But because she couldn't think of any reason to give up her seat on a Montgomery, Ala., bus, Martin Luther King Jr. was catapulted to the forefront of the nascent civil rights movement, and America was changed forever. Petworth Library currently has a display of books about Rosa Parks and the Montgomery bus boycott, including:
A patron couldn't put down Killer Crust, by Chris Cavender.It has "likable characters, clever plot," they said. Keep telling us what you think about the books you are reading!
On Monday, Feb. 11, the Petworth Children's Room celebrated Chinese New Year.
A patron reading Rapture by J. R. Ward said they couldn't put it down.
There are some librarian stereotypes that just don't describe me.I'm not 200 years old.I don't "shhhhh" every child that makes a sound.I have perfect vision without coke-bottle glasses.I'm definitely not neat and tidy.There are some librarian stereotypes that DO describe me:I'm obsessed with cats.I often wear a bun in my hair.Cardigans are a fashion must!... and most of all, I love books.2012 might have been my busiest year of reading... EVER. I was so excited about so many of the books I've read over the past year, I decided to bring them all together in one place and recreate my 'bookshelf' for everyone to check out.
Twelve-year-old Benny feels at times sympathetic, confused, exasperated and embarrassed when his father's explosive hoarding problem strains his parents' marriage and threatens to consume his father's grasp on reality.
We are excited to announce the arrival of many new Spanish language DVDs for kids. All your kids' favorite characters are here: Elmo, Charlie and Lola, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and Bert and Ernie and more!Come to the Petworth Library, pick out some movies, and snuggle in for a cozy family movie night!

City Housing Authority Receives More Than $300 Million Boost
New York, NY —
The cash-strapped New York City Housing Authority will receive more than $300 million in public and private funding to rehabilitate 21 public housing developments.
The funding is a combination of stimulus money, private funds from Citibank, state aid and bond financing. U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Secretary Shaun Donovan says the transaction will affect more than 20,000 apartments and is likely the most significant preservation effort in the history of public housing nationwide.
"Today we are preserving the equivalent of Washington D.C.'s and Boston's public housing combined," Donovan says.
Donovan says in addition the federal government will provide NYCHA with up to $75 million annually for day-to-day operations at the 21 developments.
These housing complexes were built by the city and state but have been unfunded since 2003, forcing NYCHA to stretch their limited federal funds. The problem is partly to blame for its current $150 million deficit. The transaction means Citibank will partially own the units, the bank is providing a $200 million investment. But Donovan says the agreement doesn't allow for privatization now or in the future.
NYCHA says the ownership transfer won't affect the complexes' public housing status either. The authority will still manage the developments and own the land they are on.

Re: Weya Story Quilts from Zimbabwe - another source for Quilts
Expand Messages
- Greetings Art Educators,
I did buy the book on these beautiful story quilts by the Weya women.
When I am finished with it, I will offer it to anyone who is going to
do a lesson on them - or use them in some way for a lesson (as
inspiration for a learning center -- whatever).
I also picked out 2 Story Quilts I would like to buy from Africa
Direct - can't decide which one. All of Eliza's are from Precious and
Richard - although all not done by Precious (some by family members).
I like the story of one - but like the aesthetics of the other.
Eliza told me that Precious' and Richard's children can go to school
because of the sale of these Story Quilts. When Eliza goes to
Zimbabwe, she buys all that Precious has left to sell.
I know that some of the ones on Africa Direct are pricey for an art
visual. I was poking around on the World Folk Art site and they have
some smaller ones for sell in the $45 range. I love buying from that
site, too. I always get comments on my Frida earrings! I also
purchased some Haitian Steel drum art.
I encourage all of you to include actual art as examples in your
lessons. Pictures are good - but when they have the real deal to look
at, the students are motivated even more (at least from my own
experience. Maybe I was motivated more, too?). I took in well over
$1000.00 worth of African art for them to look at and handle - that is
why I bought it. So many children may never see an art museum. I am
not saying you all need to spend $1000.00 on beautiful things.....
Start small.... Like a Weya Story Quilt (smile).
As an art educator, it was my job to get the children to want to buy
art, too - not just make art. When I volunteered at Ten Thousand
Villages, it was so much fun to see former students of mine buying the
work of artisans around the world.

Each year schools must make certain required information available to prospective and
enrolled students under the Higher Education Act (HEOA) and the Family Education Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA). In addition to the Financial Aid information below, see RISD's Policies + Disclosures for answers to frequently asked questions.
Need-based and non-need based federal financial aid available to

and required loan exit counselingSource: LoansSatisfactory Academic Progress
The Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended, requires the
College to establish minimum standards of "satisfactory academic
progress" for students receiving financial aid. The College applies these
standards to all federal, state and institutional funds.
RISD will only disburse financial aid to those students who are in good academic
standing and are making satisfactory progress toward completion of their
A student is not
making satisfactory academic progress if either of the following conditions exists:
Satisfactory Academic Progress is reviewed at the end of each semester. If a student is
not making Satisfactory Academic Progress, he or she will be placed on financial aid warning. The student will then have one semester to meet SAP requirements. The financial aid warning status will be removed if the student achieves SAP requirements. If the student does not meet SAP requirements, financial aid will be denied the following semester. A student denied financial aid based on Satisfactory Academic Progress may submit a written appeal with an academic plan of study to the Financial Aid Office. Should the appeal be approved, the student will be placed on Financial Aid Probation for the subsequent semester. The student will have one semester to meet SAP requirements or be deemed ineligible for financial aid until he/she achieves the required GPA.
Students who are
ineligible for financial aid because they are not making Satisfactory Academic Progress may appeal. Appeals are considered when a student has been able to
complete coursework in a fashion that corrects the cause of his/her losing financial aid eligibility, or when extraordinary circumstances (for
example, student illness or the illness/death of a family member) have
prevented the student from achieving Satisfactory Academic Progress. Students considering
an appeal should contact the Financial Aid Office to make an appointment.

supplies, room and board and applicable transportation costs, such as
commuting) and any additional costs of the program in which the student is

Aid Program funds when a student withdraws from school, information about
any refund policy with which the school must comply, and the requirements
for officially withdrawing from the school.If a student withdraws from the College and has Title
IV aid for that term, the amount of the Title IV aid that may have to be
returned is based on the amount of the Title IV aid that has been earned
as of the date of the withdrawal from the College. The amount of the
Title IV aid that is considered earned is in the same proportion as the
amount of the term that the student has completed before they
withdrew. If a student has completed more than 60% of the term, then
all of the Title IV aid is considered as being earned. The amount of
unearned Title IV aid that the College must return is based on the institutional
charges, such as: tuition, room and board. The student may also be required
to return a portion of the unearned Title IV aid. The College will notify
the student of the amount(s) that the College is responsible for
returning as well as the amount the student may be responsible for
returning. If a student is required to return a loan or a portion of a
loan, it is the student's responsibility to repay the loan according to
the original terms of the loan. If a student is required to return a
grant, only 50% is required to be returned. If a student is due a
post-withdrawal disbursement of Title IV aid and has outstanding
institutional charges, the College will notify the student of the awards
and the procedures to accept or decline the aid.Who to contact for information on student financial assistanceSource: FAQs/Contact Us Net Price CalculatorThis calculator will provide you with an

In predictable fashion, Lloyd Robertson's signoff on his final newscast Thursday night didn't change from the one he has used for years.
In saying, "That's the kind of day it's been" Mr. Robertson ended his four-decade-plus career as the longest national news anchor in North America.
He did take a few minutes at the end of the half-hour newscast to reminisce about the stories he's handled; the natural disasters, Olympics and royal weddings.
The 77-year-old talked of his time as anchor calling it a rare privilege to have "a front row seat to history."
Mr. Robertson talked about watching Canada grow over the years "in confidence and stature" and he said "thank you a thousand times over" to Canadians who sent him messages and talked of watching him deliver the news over the generations.
He showed no visible signs of emotion during his last newscast, though during a commercial break off camera he generated much laughter in the newsroom when he joked that he was halfway through the broadcast and his palms were getting sweaty.
Mr. Robertson said in an earlier interview that he didn't want to steal the spotlight away from the daily news. It was something he stuck to, aside from starting Thursday night's broadcast with the greeting: "Good evening, one last time for CTV National News."
In pretaped tributes, political leaders wished him well.
"You have been delivering the news since I was a barely more than a boy," said Prime Minister Stephen Harper. "You have been doing it for so long and so authoritatively you have almost become part of Canada's geography and I know that Canadians from coast to coast are going to miss you."
Bob Rae, the Liberal interim leader, talked of Mr. Robertson's integrity and called him a friend.
CTV played Thanks for the Memories at the end of his show and Mr. Robertson smiled and exhaled audibly as it ended.
Backstage, there was a round of applause from the staff as they popped champagne and posed for photos.
The Stratford, Ont., native has anchored CTV's nightly national newscast for 35 years and he spent six years prior to that at the helm of CBC's nightly news broadcast.
That run stands as the longest for a national network news anchor in North America – by comparison, Peter Jennings and Tom Brokaw each spent roughly 22 years as national news anchors (though Mr. Jennings had a previous three-year stint on his résumé as well), while Dan Rather spent 24 years at the helm of the CBS Evening News.
While Mr. Robertson is passing off the anchor torch to his colleague Lisa LaFlamme, he will continue to contribute to the news magazine series W5.
His final newscast was preceded by And That's the Kind of Life It's Been, a one-hour documentary about the journalist directed by Mr. Robertson's daughter, Lisa.Report Typo/Error

RE: st: Too many variables
Fri, 6 Jun 2008 14:39:30 +0100
Sorry, but this is variously wrong and misleading.
-matsize- has nothing to do with the number of variables you can hold.
There is an absolute limit on the number of variables each Stata can
hold and that is not affected by memory settings.
See -help limits-.
Elizabeth A. Stiles, PhD
You can increase your matsize and/or set memory to be larger and that
will allow you to increase your number of variables.
before you open your dataset,
set mem 100m
set matsize 800
Keith Dear
>Also, perhaps it may be useful to:
>describe using filename
>i.e. list the (many) variables without loading the dataset. I don't
>know whether that has the same limitation on the number of variables.
Partha Deb
>>Chances are, you don't need nearly the number of variables for your
>>analysis as you have in your dataset. In that case, use the

>>use [varlist] [if] [in] using filename [, clear nolabel]

EN ROUTE TO MOROCCO—Cuba seems to have had considerable difficulty in recent days in keeping peace within her own country. It is as difficult, it seems, to establish peace within a country as it is to keep it between countries.
Perhaps the truth of it is that we must want to live in peace at home before we can translate this desire for peace in the world into practice.
I often am amused to find that organizations with the same objective—it may even be peace in the world—are at daggers drawn. Their officers do not speak to each other; they think the other group does nothing the way it should be done, and anything but peace exists.
Perhaps peace in the world starts in one's own heart and will become a reality only when innumerable people throughout the world find peace within themselves. Only then will they manage to work peacefully with their neighbors, creating an atmosphere and attitude that will spread throughout the world.
The President seems to have been the first one to suffer from his suggestion that Congress cut the Federal budget. His request for $5 billion in emergency funds for national defense was cut to $4 billion, and White House funds for executive office expenditures were cut by several million.
In his press conference last week, the President complained that the American people had become accustomed to depending upon the Federal government and added that they seem to think the "Federal treasury is a bottomless well." Some people in the West may agree to this, but I am not so sure people in general feel this way.
I read in a Midwestern newspaper that a member of the Nebraska Legislature felt that Federal grants were adding tremendously to that state's budget and that the Legislature was requesting the Federal government not to offer these grants.
Sometimes it looks as if those who depend the most upon the Federal government are not the ordinary citizens but the great corporations. For instance, an advertisement by the American Iron and Steel Institute in a metropolitan newspaper complained that "Federal tax laws make no allowance for the effects of inflation."
"Under these laws," the advertisement stated, "an industrial company is allowed in theory to save up enough money over the life of a piece of equipment to replace it when it wears out. "But, it continued, "because of inflation the cost of this replacement often is much higher."
For this reason, the advertisement's sponsors said, industry should be allowed a reduction in taxes.
I sometimes wonder if it ever occurs to a big corporation that the small people, who are its customers, pay for inflation in higher prices and get no reduction of any kind from the Federal government.

The first reason I love Restaurant Week is that so far we have dined at three restaurants where we have never had dinner before - isn't that part of the fun? We live in the Spokane Valley and dining in Northwest Spokane is rarely on our way to something from where we live, but now that we've discovered the dinner menu at Downriver Grill we will go there again. The moment we walked in my son said, "We've been here before for lunch - don't they have those great fries with gorgonzola?" Yes, so we started with the fries before tackling the Restaurant Week menu. Our server was attentive and understood the flavors for our entrees and was a very good guide for our culinary journey. I enjoyed the DRG Salad and the Spiced Rubbed Flat Iron steak, it has a little bite to it which I appreciated and it was accompanied by delicious brussel sprouts (one of my favorites). They were very busy (due to Restaurant Week) and had already served all their Bananas Foster Bread Pudding so they offered a different selection of desserts which were delightful and decadent.
The second reason I love Restaurant Week is that the website and The Inlander provide great information to help you decide where to go and highlights the menu so you anticipate what you'll be experiencing before you get there. I knew before we headed to Beverly's that they have the largest wine collection in the West and I was expecting great service and culinary excellence. They met all my expectations! When you arrive at the Coeur d' Alene Resort and head toward the elevators they have a big sign sending you to Beverly's for Inlander Restaurant Week. The energy for an exciting week was balanced by the calm and quiet service where they enable you to relax and capture the time with whomever you are with. The evening was wonderful!
The third reason I like restaurant week is that it is family friendly or just for couples - you decide. We have a tween who is usually willing to try new things but does not always like his choices. Last night we ate at Fleur de Sel in Post Falls. We had not heard of it before this week and are very glad that we dined there. The description of casual yet elegant fits them and everyone was gracious, passionate about their culinary offerings and it all came together at our table. Our son said several time during his entree, "this is the best pork I have ever had..." and he ate the Smoked Salmon Panisse Bites with such enthusiasm I was impressed. When ordering dessert he asked if he could have the 'Colonel' with just the lemon sorbet (it is listed as having Absolute citron vodka).
And finally, rather than continue with my long list of why I love Restaurant Week I'll end with this - Inlander Restaurant Week introduces us not only to places we may not have tried yet, but it also connects us to our neighborhoods and community at large through the creativity of our local chefs, the artists who produce the fine wines, brews, and distilleries, and the servers who help provide the enjoyment of pausing to savor the moment. Where will you dine before Inlander Restaurant Week comes to a close on Sunday?

Date of Stay: September, 2011
After reading the reviews for this park, I decided to update it. I have been at this park for a bit over two months. When I pulled in, I was a bit worried about it. It is a spot in a trailer park set aside for RVs. There were 4 other campers in the area when I pulled in. It is obvious that most of the people in the campground are there for what I call long term (over 2 months). After talking to the staff, all of my worries went away. They are very helpful and courteous. I have not experienced a problem in the electric, water or sewer. There was an evening that I came back and there was a crew working on the water pipes, I asked how long it would take, and they told me that they should be done in an hour or so. (Half an hour later I had water). There is no propane service on the campground: less than two miles north on US 31W there is a propane filling station. There is a grocery store within walking distance (less than half a mile), though I would recommend on driving to it, since it is a highway. There are probably nicer-looking RV Parks within an hour that offer more services/amenities, but there are none that are closer to historic FT Knox than this one. This one is also right off of US 31W, which makes it easy access to fellow travelers, and to folks working in the area for a short amount of time. I am leaving the area in a couple of weeks and look forward to returning to this campground when I come back.
Date of Stay: July, 2011
We stayed at this campground during the July 4th weekend. My wife found this site (it was the last available in the area) by driving around. The staff is very friendly, and the town is remarkable (a historic type of town). We had a great view of the lake, and had easy access to it. The swimming pool was being renovated, but the lake was less than 50 yards away. The only downside to this place is that there is nothing else to do, but fish and swim. For the kiddos the ADD will kick in and they will want to do something else, like go bike riding or hiking etc….. We had no problems with the water or the electricity. It did take me a little bit of time to back in the camper I think all in all it only took about 3 or 4 tries to get it in where we needed it. If you are looking at doing a fishing trip or just using this place as a place to stay the night as you spend the day driving to LBL, this is definitely a great place to stay.

It was reported on the TV this morning that the guy shot in the head is clinically brain dead.

You got to admit American Justus is a bit ironic, at times. If you are a Bad Guy and a death occurs in the commission of your crime then you get charged with murder evan if the departed is one of the criminals. Who says we don't have a sense of humor?
Also this being in Florida might he not expect to have the death penalty on the table? So you try to rob a store, get shot to doll rags, partner gets killed, you get charged with killing your partner and the court sentences you to death after you recover form the wounds you received in the attempted hold up. Sounds like a win to me!

And one last update1 shot by merchant brain dead; 2nd charged
A 17-year-old gunman who was wounded in a shootout with a Fort Lauderdale jewelry store owner has been declared brain dead, authorities said Thursday.
A second gunman, 24, listed in critical but stable condition, was charged with armed robbery, carrying a concealed weapon, and faces a felony murder charge for the death of his partner, police said.
The two robbery suspects are Damien Christopher James, 17, of Miami Gardens, and Devaughan C. Heard, 24, of Opa-locka.
They both had numerous prior arrests ranging from burglary, drug possession, auto theft, to kidnapping, according to records.
According to police, the two young men tried to rob Bentley's Jewelers, 2753 E. Oakland Park Blvd., Wednesday morning.
But they weren't expecting its owner, Hugo Villalta, 43, and his wife, Rosario, to defend themselves.
After Heard and James were buzzed in, they pulled out their guns.
But Hugo Villalta was armed and ready for them. Gunfire was exchanged.
James, the 17-year-old, who had prior arrests since 2003 for burglary, auto theft, and drug possession, was shot between the eyes.
Heard, the 24-year-old who had prior arrests since 1998 for kidnapping, battery, and drug possession, was shot several times in the chest but somehow made his way out of the store and into his getaway car.
He was captured shortly thereafter by Fort Lauderdale and Wilton Manors police.
It is unlikely that Villalta will be charged. Under Florida law, citizens are allowed to use deadly force to defend themselves or others if someone is in danger of death or great bodily harm.
The Villaltas, including their son who was in the back of the store and made the 911 call, are all upset, but were not injured.
''[Hugo] is very upset by everything that went on yesterday morning, and who wouldn't be?'' said Fort Lauderdale police spokesman Kathy Collins.
Collins said that anyone -- even seasoned police officers -- can become distraught after undergoing a violent survival situation.
''It's normal. It's what makes us human,'' Collins said.
The entire scene was captured on security cameras inside the store. It's not clear whether the tapes will be made public.
The 911 tapes were released Thursday. The first one, called in by Villalta's son in the store, depict a calm voice telling police what is happening, giving the address, and that one man -- James -- is on the ground.
The second 911 call, made by the owner of the store next door, depicts a frantic description of a bloodied man -- Heard -- getting into a getaway car.
Heard remains under police watch in the hospital.
''He will go to jail as soon as he is well enough to leave the hospital,'' Collins said.
Collins said that the family of James, who is brain dead, are planning to donate his organs -- to save the lives of those in need.
''The family is doing a noble thing,'' Collins said. ``Maybe a little bit of good can come from all of this.''

I'd say that storeowner needs to upgrade to a bigger caliber. Good shooting, though!
The pics are friggin cracking me up. I want to seal one and use it for an avatar so bad, but I will refrain.
This is the kind of stuff that the media needs to focus on. Try and rob a jewelry store and get dead. We need to focus on the people that are protecting themselves and others rather than the jackholes that decide to go on a shooting spree.
Don't hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting; but never hit soft!

"Heard, the 24-year-old who had prior arrests since 1998 for kidnapping, battery, and drug possession, was shot several times in the chest but somehow made his way out of the store and into his getaway car."
This guy should have still been in jail. Wonder who gave the perp a pass on the kidnapping charge?

Directed by: Jack Neo
Genre: Action/Comedy/Drama
Running time: 118 minutes
Classification: PG13 – Some Sexual References
Release date: 1 February 2013
Rating: 3.5 / 5
(Mandarin with English subtitles)
Continuing from Ah Boys To Men Part 1 like how Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows Part 2 (David Yates, 2011) did, Ah Boys To Men Part 2 certainly needs no introduction, especially for our local audience. Having had a fair share of comedy and drama in the first segment, Ah Boys To Men Part 2 follows up with more drama and delves deeply into the lives of National Servicemen (NSF), giving insight as they go through the compulsory Basic Military Training (BMT) as part of National Service (NS).
Recruits of Platoon 2, Section II of Ninja Company, having already been acquainted, go through the trials and tribulations every platoon experiences and complications inevitably arise among each other. Protagonist Ken Chow (Joshua Tan) gradually learns to stand up for himself as well as his platoon mates, abiding strongly by the colloquial military term "Leave no man behind." From his naivety prior to enlisting to NS and getting over the breakup with his girlfriend the hard way, Ken becomes a recruit with much more maturity and leadership skills.
Aloysius Jin (Maxi Lim), whom we have come to know as the most enthusiastic and motivated recruit, shows signs of nonchalance towards his platoon mates, unintentionally of course, when it comes to behavioural matters, irking most of them and sparking rivalry. He learns this the hard way and it is only through a talk with Sergeant Ong (Tosh Zhang) that he realises his lack of camaraderie towards his platoon mates as he pursues knowledge and excellence to become "Best Recruit". On the other hand, Ip Man (Noah Yap) discovers a gangster takes his girlfriend away from him and vows to seek revenge against him. As they are buddies, Aloysius further aggrieves him by advising that he lets the matter rest, creating a bone of contention between him and everyone.
In these scenarios, Ken steps in and attempts to break even by giving his point of view from both sides of the situation. While these show signs of positivity, the explanations he gives each time unfortunately border on the line of being cliché and scripted. As most of the platoon slowly comes to terms with one another, it is Lobang (Wang Weiliang) who refuses to change and is still adamant on sabotaging Aloysius in different ways until karma strikes and turns the tables on him instead.
As it is known, the trainings conducted in BMT are practical not only in times of war, but also in real life situations. When Ip Man and several others decide to play a dirty prank on the gangster, the recruits land themselves into trouble and utilise their life skills to evade from the resulting mob. Though useful, situations like these are obviously made for entertainment and should be taken with a pinch of salt even as they reflect a degree of immaturity in our recruits.
Ken's father (Richard Low) who met with a mishap now suffers a stroke that leaves him partially paralysed. Reluctant to speak and move a muscle, it is news of Ken's bravery when the recruits end up beaten that makes him smile and even commend Ken. After all, it is the lessons they learn from the challenges they face that turn them into men that make the right decisions.
The visual effects (VFX) are less emphasised in Part 2. However where there are, the scenes comes across as rather confusing instead of mesmerising. Though it is a good effort that VFX is inculcated in Ah Boys To Men for a first, there is still a long way to go in improvement for the local industry when it comes to this new development.
At the end of it, Ah Boys To Men Part 2 culminates in the popular Passing Out Parade (POP) for recruits after completing their BMT. For girlfriends and mothers whose boyfriends and sons are serving their NS respectively, Ah Boys To Men as a whole is a good indication of what the males do during their time in the army and the difficulties they encounter. Ah Boys To Men is therefore a slice of life for the Singaporean boy and resonates strongly with Singaporeans from all walks of life and will go down in history as the movie for future generations to come.
Directed by Jack Neo, Ah Boys To Men Part 1 has since earned a staggering
SGD $6.2 million at the local box office and shattered the 15-year-old record held by We Not Naughty (T.L Tay, 1998) as the highest-grossing local film in Singapore history. As much as Part 1 has been criticised for its plain slapstick comedy and narrow one-sided view of BMT, it is ultimately made for the Singaporean context and our entertainment. With all the hype surrounding this juggernaut of a local production in recent months, appreciate Ah Boys To Men while it lasts.

Mid-Atlantic Dyno Day! Saturday Nov. 10th
Hey guys, anyone in the Mid-Atlantic area interested in having their cars dyno'd, then this is for you!
So, we're shooting for Saturday November 10th! I need at least 8 people to commit w/a max of say 15. (First come, first serve, no exceptions!) I would like to try to get people to pre-register, so that I can have an idea of how many cars will be there. Please reply to this thread w/your name and year, make, model of your car, and then copy and paste the previous name(s) to update the list so that I can keep a running tab.
Frank Smith, from Tuning Tech FS (vendor tuner@ Mpact), will be conducting the testing. We will concentrate on dyno pulls only, as custom tuning is extremely time consuming. If, however you would like to make an appointment for some custom tuning at a later date, Frank will be more than happy to extend the Mid-Atlantic Dyno Day special rate (read on). I thought that we could start at around 10:00 AM, and run 'til maybe 5:00 or 6:00 PM. He would offer an M3Forum special rate of $65.00 (regularly $85) for 3 pulls with air fuel monitoring, a print out, as well as a professional opinion(s). All M3 (2001-2006) custom tunes on the dyno are usually $750.00, but he would offer a show special of $550.00 (dyno fee absorbed into this price). Newer M3's (E90,92,93) are usually $1000.00, but he will offer a show special of $750.00.
The new shop is really nice, epoxy painted floors and walls, a really nice office with a 46" Big Screen TV on the wall w/a Play Station 3...and several racing games for customers to play while they wait. This alone is worth the price of admission! Lunch & drinks will be provided! Anyway, let me know your thoughts, and if you think this is a good date/idea, or if you think we need more time...Even if you don't plan on dyno'ing your car, please feel free to show up to hang out with the other club/forum members and share in the activities. The last 2 Dyno Meets have been a blast!
Some additional info:
-It's a Dyno Dynamics dyno (typically reads about 10% lower than a Dynojet, but he can 'correct' to Dynojet #'s if we want).
-For those opting for future tunes: This is a true custom tune, so he can maximize your tune (if you so desire), or he can dial in a safe tune if you plan on running, or only have access to 91 octane fuel.
-He has extracted almost 300whp from almost stock M3's (baselines of 278-282whp, deltas of 15-20hp and 8-15ft. lbs of torque)
-He can Alpha-N tune as well
-He has been tuning cars for over 22 yrs.
-He can tune other cars besides M3's
-Currently only set up for 2WD
That's all that I can think of for now, but if anyone has any specific requests or needs more info., please contact me.
The new shop name is Tuning Tech FS and it's located here:
4700 Belle Grove Road
Unit 14
Brooklyn Park, MD 21225
-Frank will offer 1 free dyno to returning customers, who add more mods later to their car, and then want to come back to see if further tuning is required
-Forms of payment accepted are Visa, Master Card, Paypal, & cash
-This is posted up on M3Forum as well, and I'll keep a running updated list on both sites.
Thanx, Stan

What interface does he use to tune?
I need to get race headers installed with cats further back, then I'll be down to get in with a custom tune!
nah, I got in on that Status Gruppe goup buy, but Mike Migs said they won't be ready for like 3 or so weeks. Then I'll need to make sure I have the funds to get the install and custom pipes and cats done right, so will be a few months out
Im in!
new tune and injectors coming next week.

1. azn101 2002 m3 conv

5. classic06 2008 M3
7. besiktas
8. KhanArt 2004 M3 (Tentative)
Please add your name to the running list above (copy & paste) and I'll update the original post. Thanx!
Is your S54 all stock? If so, numbers look about right, funny how your power was really dropping off by the 3rd pull? Usually the 3rd pull shows more power than the 1st or 2nd pulls, unless you were already starting to experience heat soak?
the S54 is stock, stock air box, stock headers, borla V2 midpipe and magnaflow axle back. Only thing different is the canned Epic tune
It was like 90 degree's out and humidity was like 40% which definitely wasn't helping make power. One thing I've noticed is that I seem to be making more torque lower in the rev range when comparing to other minimal mod dyno's I've seen.
I can't commit just yet, but I will try to make it out

Poll: 11% of tea partiers do their own dental work
The results of a new, exclusive HAB poll have been released including a shocking statistic: 11% of tea partiers do their own dental work. For an unknown reason, dentists - along with lawyers, public administrators, and psychologists - are among the tea partiers' least popular professions. And, the teapartiers have put their money - and their home-made dental tools - where their mouths are.
Follow-up interviews with tea party members have revealed a wide variety of reasons, but some observers have also pointed to the fact that Koch Industries - a major benefactor of groups that promote the tea parties - is heavily invested in "dental tourism" and a chain of DIY clinics in the Cayman Islands and other offshore havens. Those observers also note that tea party leader Dick Armey is a lobbyist for the mercury and asbestos industries in addition to endorsing a low-cost DIY dental kit. The poll results also follow a week-long Glenn Beck series focusing on the medical and dental professions and tying them into the greater Progressive movement.
Some of the reasons given by tea party members in follow-up interviews include:
* "I'll be DAMNED if any of those dentists are going to get a dime of my money! The ADA is a SOCIALIST SUBVERSIVE organization founded with the assistance of MARGARET Sanger and funded by Teddy ROOSEVELT and other PROGRESSIVES, also known as COMMUNISTS!"
* "I'm sick and tired of these whining, TREEHUGGING hippie commmunists with THEIR nanny STATE rules about mercury AND asbestos! Go back TO Russia!"
* "Obama is a COMMUNIST, and I THINK you're a Communist TOO!"
* "I'm a very satisfied customer of the Dick Armey-approved DIY Dental Kit and I've already performed two root canals on my molars! Now, that's freedom! Don't listen to the Enemies of Liberty, taste the sweet sweet tea of Freedom!"
When contacted for comment, a tea party leader simply shouted "Communist!" into the phone several times and then hung up.

Mum on Martha, Macy's Says Textiles Solid in Fourth Quarter
March 26, 2012,
Sales, earnings and cash flow for 2011, including the fourth quarter, exceeded expectations, the company reported.
"We have more than doubled our earnings over the past three years," noted Terry Lundgren, chairman, president and ceo. He described the 2011 holiday season as "terrific."
Macy's executives did not mention Martha Stewart or her exclusive collection during the approximately 45-minute earnings call. But during the question-and-answer session, an analyst asked cfo Karen Hoguet if it was right to assume that Macy's 3.5% fiscal 2012 comp outlook "has no pick-up from any disruption related to JCPenney."
The analyst was referring to Macy's suit against Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia, filed in late January regarding MSLO's deal to launch products exclusively with JCPenney in 2013.
In response, Hoguet briefly offered, "Well, we'll have to see how that plays out. Our best assumption right now is the 3.5%, and we'll see."
Net income for the fourth quarter ended Jan. 28 rose 11.7% to $745 million, or $1.70 per share, beating expectations.
Quarterly sales were up 5.5% to $8.7 billion. Same-store sales increased 5.2%.
For the full fiscal year, net income jumped 48.3% to $1.256 billion, or $2.92 per share.
Online sales for macys.com and bloomingdales.com combined were up 40.0% in the fourth quarter and 39.6% for the fiscal year.
Buoyed by its recent performance, Macy's said it is assuming same-store sales growth of about 3.5% in fiscal 2012, and guidance for earnings per share is $3.25 to $3.30. Capital expenditures for the year are expected to be approximately $850 million.
The company has announced plans in fiscal 2012 for new Macy's stores in Salt Lake City, Utah, and Greendale, Wisconsin, as well as five new Bloomingdale's Outlet locations.

Poppy row father calls for end to threats
A father who sparked a poppy row at a Co Down school has made a personal appeal for the intimidation of a teacher at the centre of the stand-off to be brought to an end.
He told the Belfast Telegraph: "I would appeal to people not to personally threaten the teacher. Threatening or intimidating the individual will not resolve anything. Let it be dealt with through the proper channels."
The father-of-five's comments come after it emerged the Catholic teacher at Dundonald High had been forced to stay away from the school as she feared for her personal safety.
It had been claimed that the young teacher had said pupils wearing poppies were not allowed into her classroom, but an internal investigation carried out by the school found no evidence to substantiate the claim.
The union representing the teacher has voiced concerns that the 15-year-old pupil had made malicious allegations.
However, her father has described his daughter as a "model pupil" who has "nothing to gain by telling lies".
He said: "My daughter's school report says she is a wonderful pupil who is a credit to her school and her family. The teacher involved in the poppy incident said she is an enthusiastic pupil and is capable of achieving a very good grade if she puts the required time and effort into her work.
"There's nothing malicious about this. She did not even come home and tell us maliciously. I am the one pushing the issue."
He has already handed two official letters into the school, to which he claims he has received no response, and has now called for an independent investigation to be carried out by either the board of governors or South Eastern Education and Library Board.
A protest involving dozens of parents was held at the school on Thursday morning and is understood to be one of the reasons the teacher decided not to attend work. There was also a police presence at the school.
Story so far
A teenager at Dundonald High School claimed one of her teachers said pupils were not allowed into her class wearing poppies. The pupil said she overheard the teacher making the comment to another teacher. The school carried out a probe but found no evidence to support the claims. Since then the school has been catapulted into the spotlight.
