Radioflyer Part2:The NRA is a special interest group, a huge lobby. Its votes are important. They don't give 2 cents about the children that died or people getting shot. They care about advancing their agenda and influence. They're a cancer. Nothing else.-Dequindre-:"They care about advancing their agenda and influence."That sounds similar to Democratic politicians calling for gun bans.Radioflyer Part2:My point is, they're a very influential special interest group. Like the tea party, GMA, you get the point. Too big to care about the little things that happen, unless it goes against their grain.-Dequindre-: Is there any way that the NRA could handle this situation (like other people have said, it has nothing to do with them anyway) to your satisfaction short of closing up shop?Radioflyer Part2:I'm just pointing out that they're an influential special interest group, like many others that have deep pockets and too much involvement in washington.I think they also know its a bad time for them to push their agenda in the face of parents who lost their loved ones due to guns being available.On the other side, I wouldn't want to stand against the 2 dozen or so parents that have now decided to make this an issue. It was them that lost out, not anyone else. They have every right to try and make a difference, be it further restrictions on guns, protection in schools, or whatever.I haven't seen such an advocacy group started by the parents that suffered this loss. How about you not make up their minds for them as this may have hit home for them in a literal sense, I highly doubt their top priorities at this moment is stating their opinions on gun laws. My guess is they have grieving to do and are trying to pick up the pieces of their shattered lives, not worrying about what the NRA does or doesn't say. As soon as they get together and form an advocacy group, than by all means, you can comment intelligently on what they have to say.

4 cops have been killed in the past 7 days by gunfire, and yet you dont hear Law Enforcement groups screaming for gun control. And thats because the Law Enforcement community knows better then anyone that to try and control guns is to invite a diaster of the first order.
I love this country, but I cant stand how some people think that guns are the root of this nations problems.How about all the evil and violent movies and tv shows that are put out, how about how parents are being told not to punish kids for misbehaving, how about how we have taken pray and the Bible out of schools.
Trying to associate the NRA and is supporters with this senseless attack on these children, is like trying to associate all of us with a madman who decides to use a car to mow down a bunch of kids waiting for their morning school bus.Pure and simple this is an act of a madman, who would have found a way to achieve their goal even if all guns were banned and destroyed.

BRG I assure you putting religion into schools isn't solving any more problems than ridiculously strict gun controls. Parents have more than enough time to guide their children to religion if they wish to do so. And the certainly don't need public schools prescribing one in particular. If you are religious you should consider that it is important enough not to be left in the hands of strangers. Math class sure, prayer no. And in addition, more than a few people have been killed not just by religious people, but in the name of religion. We don't need schools teaching kids to follow religion any more than we need the guy at jiffy lube to pray before he spins off the filter.

Then again I dont know how much she could have even fixed such basic things as extensions and turnouts even with any amount of work. She just didnt have it.

Depp, Stewart win at slimy Kids Choice Awards

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Johnny Depp and Kristen Stewart avoided slime — mostly — while picking up blimp-shaped trophies at the Kids Choice Awards on Saturday.
The "Dark Shadows" star won as favorite movie actor at the 26th annual awards extravaganza, while the "Twilight" leading lady was selected as favorite movie actress and female butt-kicker.
"Dude, I was too much [auth] of a coward to accept this," she said embracing the slime slathered on the podium at the University of Southern California's Galen Center.
Pitbull and Christina Aguilera kicked off the silly show with their song "Feel This Moment" and were joined by young backup dancers resembling the smooth-headed rapper and blonde diva. At the end of their performance, Aguilera smashed a button, covering Pitbull and the dancers in the show's signature green goo.
That was just the beginning of the celebrity sliming.
In one of his first acts as show host, "Transformers" star Josh Duhamel dumped the goop on Los Angeles Lakers player Dwight Howard.
"I guess that's what we call a slime dunk!" Duhamel said.
Sandra Bullock and Neil Patrick Harris caught a wave of the green stuff after a magic trick from the "How I Met Your Mother" co-star went awry.
Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, who picked up the trophy for male butt-kicker, blasted a sumo-suited Nick Cannon and Duhamel with the goo. The first few rows of the audience were also doused.
Duhamel said a record-breaking 350 million votes had been cast for this year's viewer-voted ceremony, which honors kids' favorites in film, music, sports and TV.
Other winners included "Victorious" as favorite TV show, Katy Perry as favorite female singer, Adam Sandler as favorite voice from an animated movie for "Hotel Transylvania," race car driver Danica Patrick as favorite female athlete and "The Hunger Games" as favorite movie and book.
"Always be nice to your parents," Sandler told the crowd of screaming kids while accepting his awards. "Always be nice to your teachers."

our ion will soon be returning off lease.
do to financial circumstances we will not be getting a new car for the replacement.i am also not considering a cobalt or a pursuit due to the same crappy interior fabric as the ion.
what i am considering is an optra LS or aveo LS sedan as a gm optimim used car(2004-2006). i know that daewoo had a lot of problems in the past and am hoping that they
have been remedied since the gm takeover.
what i would like to know is how are theese cars holding up?many problems seen at the dealership or customers complaining?
most of the online reviews seem to favor the optra over the aveo and i must say that the optra does look better interior wise.
on the exterior i can see very little difference between the optra and aveo.
i know that the optra has a larger 2.0l engine vs the aveo 1.6l.
so what would you opinion be on the optra as a used car.
i see a lot of them forsale here in nova scotia with 60-80,000kms for ~$5000-$6000.

Hello from TN. I am sitting here watching it Snow, good day to sew, anyone else feel the same?
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Hello from TN. I am sitting here watching it Snow, good day to sew, anyone else feel the same?
Yes I am sitting here in Indiana and it's snowing and hubby's working a little so I'm gonna make stockings I think.
Cleaning house first - then sewing this afternoon while the temperatures start to drop outside and it continues to snow.
LOW tonight below zero! Glad I don't have to go anywhere!
Great day to sew, but weather is warm here (I live in the desert). Love the look of the snow falling, though! Have a great day!
Its snowing bad here, and windy. Looks like a blizzard!
Here in Ohio it is very snowy..and among other things I am sewing also....
It is raining here and getting colder.
It is getting ready for snow for the next three days again.
Lots of rain here, a good day to stay inside where it is nice and warm and dry :D:D:D
Illness here so we stayed home from church to keep from spreading it. However we're still up cleaning and rearranging the living room so that we can put up our tree. Running really late this year but....
Once the tree is up, the lights and decorations are on then I'm going to sew.
And yes, we're having flurries which aren't bad. It's the "occasionally gusting to over 50mph" winds that are causing havoc here. Can we all say "WHITE OUT"? Very hazardous driving conditions especially with the thin layer of ice under the snow. The temp is supposed to drop drastically over night and tomorrow we've got a prediction of 19 degrees below 0 wind chill factor.
Oh, yes, it's a blizzard! Like the sign says, "Let it snow... Let me sew!"

Longest day: 99kms [Timaru – Mount Somers: 8+ hours cycling, not including breaks]
Fastest speed recorded: 63.3kms per hour (recorded on Jana's bike going downhill from Middlemarch - Dunedin)
Best advice: pushing your bike will only take longer
Worst advice: anything ever said to us by a motorist.
Hardest lesson learnt: there are absolutely no flat roads in NZ – NONE! - there is only up and down, and somehow most of it is up.
:) I can't believe this is our last NZ blog! Sorry about the map if you are following it. – it is not an accurate account of where we've been because I can't be bothered to set the pins in every place we've been – this goes for the entire blog; just use your imagination liberally as our route has not always been the most direct one…
We had planned to shorten up the daily distances between Dunedin and Christchurch in an attempt at some 'leisurely cycling' (haha - as if that exits in NZ!) but somehow a few 80kms+ and our longest day - 99kms - snuck in. The monstrous hills of the West Coast were replaced by unbelievable wind – after trying to leave Methven, Daryn was blown off his bike into the ditch (a flat, soft grassy ditch – he's fine, thanks to his heavily padded cycle shorts, only his pride was injured) forcing us to give up and go to the pub for the rest of the day. Biking back to Methven, I recorded the speed as 36kms/hr on my bike – and I wasn't pedalling – that was just the speed I was going with the wind pushing me
In addition to the on-going topics of conversation (listed in the first cycling blog), we've added a few – a new favourite being 'would you rather?' – as in, 'would you rather be stuck in a field with 3 mad bulls or stuck in the water with three hungry sharks?'. Or 'would you rather loose both thumbs or one foot?'. we have spent HOURS on this game (further proof the wind messes with your head) and have learnt some very interesting things about each other. We've also been working on our Irish accents, but to no avail, they still somehow sound Jamaican. For those who asked – the Irish series we were watching was Love/Hate.
Next stop: Sydney Australia! Very much looking forward to sleeping in beds again!

Fumbling burglars caught on camera
PALO CEDRO, Calif. - It's just after five Easter morning at the Kaybee Gas and Liquor Food Mart in Palo Cedro.
Instead of looking for Easter eggs, two masked men in dark clothes are looking for some quick cash, targeting an ATM in the middle of the convenience store.
After breaking the front doors, one thief ties a tow rope around the machine and attaches it to a stolen U-Haul waiting outside.
But instead of a quick getaway, the U-Haul slides out as the thieves try to remove the bolted down ATM.
In the process the tow rope snaps.
Moments later, the thieves return and try to get rich again.
This time, they try the old fashioned way by shaking the machine.
But after a few good shakes they realize their plan clearly isn't working and take off, but not empty handed.
They grab a few cartons of Marlboro cigarettes, but still manage to drop one on the way out.
"Now it's funny but not that morning," Manager Ed Kaplan said Friday.
Weeks later, with the doors to his store fixed, Kaplan can chuckle about the debacle.
"I've never seen anything like it except in the movies," he said.
But after spending nearly $3,000 in repairs, Kaplan is still frustrated and surprised this happened, "it threw us off because we're in Palo Cedro and no one expects that in Palo Cedro."
An "out of service" sign is now taped on the ATM.
"It no longer works. We're talking about taking it out so it doesn't happen again," Kaplan explained.
The suspects are tough to recognize in the surveillance video.
Both were wearing black sweatshirts and jackets at the time of the burglary as well as black masks covering their faces.
But as they were leaving, one man's mask drops a bit, revealing a small part of his face. It could be a clue to identifying these fumbling bandits.
If you have information, contact the Shasta County Sheriff's Office.

(You can hear my thoughts by clicking hear)
I reported yesterday about the reports of Heath Shaw being caught drink driving and having an accident. Collingwood did an investigation and by about 1pm Eddie McGuire and Mick Malthouse were on the front foot, explaining how Heath's actions were good enough and pointing out that the passenger wasn't Didak (even after some some reports of him being in the Ute when it crashed), that both players had assured the club that the "Slimmey Friend" (as Eddie but it) wasn't Didak. In fact all the questioning by the media drew Eddie to this fantastic quote:
Didak will be accused of the Kennedy shooting next.
After that, Shaw and the leadership group faced the music in a press conference. Heater (Heath Shaw) talked about how sorry he was and how empty he felt. When asked again about the passenger, he said it was a friend that he didn't wan't to get in trouble. Scott Burns, Collingwood captain, stepped in and said that if he said it wasn't Didak, it wasn't Didak.
Unfortunately the people saying it was Didak grew and in fact, the lady who's car was run into called Melbourne radio 3AW and in her interview mentioned that Didak was on the scene when they came out. Shaw's claim that he rang Didak, but this didn't seem to hold true. In fact it was reported about 8:30 in the evening that Shaw had either came to the Club or contacted the club in tears with the truth that Didak was in the car.
Collingwood straight away put out a press release saying that further information would be released.
Today, at 3pm, Collingwood came out and reported that they had Suspended both Heath Shaw and Didak for the rest of the season including Finals (should the Pies make it) and at the end of the season their future at the club would be reassed. Shaw was fined $10,000 and Didak $5000. Heath's broher, Rhyce, was out drinking while injured which seems a no-no at Collingwood (well most clubs for that matter) and so was fined $5,00 and a two match suspension.
Thats about the story in two seconds. I will be trying to put my thoughts down in a podcast, so checkout for that tomorrow luch time.

Why Flame Princess is a Better Girlfriend for Finn than Bubblegum
- If you comment, it needs to be nice, cuss-less, un-troll-ish, and relevent. The dots from me in the comments section means there was something there I wanted to delete but it wouldn't let me.
- 1. Bubblegum is way too old for Finn.
- 2. Flame Princess is way tougher.
- 3. Bubblegum is too pink. By that I mean both too girly and too literaly pink.
- 4. Bubblegum needs saving a lot. I don't buy the "Damsel in distress" thing.
- 5. Bubblegum has had three "kids" and has treated them all badly.

Wal-Mart Stores Inc has reached an agreement to acquire a minority stake in Yihaodian.com. The agreement endorsed Yihaodian to sell Wal-Mart's self-owned branded products, including Great Value, one of Wal-Mart's most famous food brands in China. (Source: China Daily)
by Gao Yuan
BEIJING, Aug. 14 (Xinhua) -- The Ministry of Commerce (MOC) has approved plans by Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. allowing the U.S. retail giant to control China's largest online supermarket, Yihaodian, on restrictive conditions.
If successful, the acquisition will help Wal-Mart grab a bigger slice of China's booming online shopping market.
Wal-Mart got the green light to increase its stake to 51.3 percent from 17.7 percent in a separate company that will own Yihaodian's online retailing business, according to a MOC statement released on Tuesday.
However, the acquisition "may have an effect of excluding or restricting competition in China's value-added telecommunications service market" and can only be completed under several restrictive conditions, said the statement released by the MOC's anti-monopoly bureau.
Apart from online retailing, Yihaodian also runs value-added services. The Chinese government allows foreign investors to hold up to a 50-percent stake in such operators in the country.
The acquired business will be limited to online retailing and the acquired company can not use its Internet platform to provide Internet services for other parties involved in the deal, the MOC instructed.
In addition, Wal-Mart must not engage in value-added services operated by Yihaodian through the variable interest entity (VIE) ownership structure, according to the ministry.
VIEs are a common practice under which foreign firms can control -- but not legally own -- companies operating in China to bypass restrictions on foreign investment in certain areas.
According to a statement released on Tuesday afternoon by Yihaodian, the deal still needs further regulatory approval and has to meet other conditions for final transactions.
"Yihaodian fully respects and welcomes the MOC's decision," it said. "We have maintained high-speed growth since launching in 2008 and will create greater value for consumers as our partnership with Wal-Mart deepens."
Wal-Mart submitted its acquisition plan to the MOC for approval in December 2011 and the examination was extended twice, according to the ministry, citing concerns that the deal may impede market competition.
As a major retailer in both the Chinese and the global market, Wal-Mart will be able to deliver its advantages in the physical market to online retailing business after the acquisition, the MOC assessed.
Because of its comprehensive strength in both offline and online retailing, the acquired company will be able to gain a dominant position if it is allowed to enter China's value-added service market through Yihaodian, and substantially increase its bargaining power with Internet users, the MOC concluded.
Founded in Shanghai in July 2008, Yihaodian sells a range of goods including food, cosmetics and consumer electronics.
The website had more than 18 million registered users as of May 2011, and its sales exceeded 800 million yuan (126 million U.S. dollars) in 2010, according to company information.
The online shopping market in China has been prospering despite an economic downshift, with the country's online population reaching 538 million by the end of June, including 210 million online shoppers.
Online shopping transactions reached 268.4 billion yuan in value in the second quarter of 2012, up 51.6 percent year on year, according to Internet industry research agency iResearch.
During that period, the country's B2C market value surged more than 140 percent from a year earlier to 89.4 billion yuan, iResearch calculated.
Xinhua's phone calls to Wal-Mart China's public relations manager were unanswered by the time the story was released on Tuesday afternoon.
Wal-Mart "pleased" with investment in Yihaodian
BEIJING, Aug. 15 (Xinhua) -- U.S. retail giant Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. said Wednesday it was "pleased" with a deal to control Chinese e-commerce website Yihaodian that just passed China's anti-monopoly examination.
The Ministry of Commerce (MOC) approved plans by Wal-Mart to increase its stake in a holding company of Yihaodian to 51.3 percent from 17.7 percent, on Tuesday. Full story
Yihaodian teams up with Wal-Mart online
BEIJING, July 11 (Xinhuanet) -- Yihaodian.com was neither the oldest nor the biggest online shopping website in China, nevertheless it won Wal-Mart Stores Inc's favor this summer and made the US retail giant a shareholder.
According to Yu Gang, the company's chairman and co-founder, yihaodian.com plans to make the idea of an online supermarket a nationwide phenomenon - at a startling speed. Full story

Meet your new history teachers, snooker legend Ronnie O'Sullivan (pictured right) and sports broadcaster Matt Smith (pictured left), as they cross the pond to explore America's 300 year history with the game of pool. The real-life mates travel the US to hunt down America's most notorious pool hustlers while meeting a few characters along the way. The duo go to New York City, Chicago, Memphis and San Francisco, to immerse themselves in the history of each location, discovering local quirks and lapping up the Americana. The end goal is to seek out local pool shark legends in the hope they can beat them at their own game, in their own back yard! With Ronnie's genius-with-a-cue reputation fairly unknown, it's the perfect set up for a hustle, or so he thinks. Brand new and exclusive HISTORY® commission.
Danny Basavich, popularly known as "Kid Delicious" is a former pool hustler turned pro player. Acquiring the nickname "Kid Delicious" after defeating pool rival "Kid Vicious" Eddie Hubler, he grew up in New Jersey and discovered a natural talent for playing pool in his teens.
By the time he was around 18 he was able to win money "hustling" local pool halls and by his mid twenties was earning as much as $200,000 a year hustling pool halls across America. Once his game was discovered, he switched to professional pool and was awarded "Rookie of the Year" in 2004 by the United Pool Players Association.
Find out more about Danny and his exuberant career here.
Earl "The Pearl" Strickland is a professional pool player and is widely considered as one of the greatest nine-ball pool players in history. He entered his first professional pool tournament at just 15-years-old and rose to national prominence by his early twenties.
He is a multi-time winner of the pool Player of the Year Award, won the United States Open Nine-ball Championships an amazing five times and was even inducted into the Billiard Congress of America Hall of Fame in 2006.
Earl shows off his pool prowess to Ronnie in Ronnie O'Sullivan's American Hustle and challenges him to a game.
Find out more about Earl here.
Jeanette Lee is a professional pool player who earned her nickname for her deceptively sweet nature and incredible talent at the pool table. She began playing pool professionally in 1989 and ranked as the top female professional pool player in the world several times in the 1990s.
She has gone on to win various international awards including the gold medal for the United States at the 2001 World Games.
Today Jeanette continues to play and teach pool around the world and demonstrates her talent when she challenges Ronnie to a game in Ronnie O'Sullivan's American Hustle.
Find out more about The Black Widow here.
Johnny Archer nicknamed "The Scorpion," is an American professional pool player.
Given his nickname for his star-sign, he is one of the most successful nine-ball pall players of the last two decades and was named Billiards Digest Player of the Decade in 1999.
He has also won the WPA World Nine-ball Champion twice and was the 1999 US Open Champion. He has won over 60 professional tournaments in his career.
In Ronnie O'Sullivan's American Hustle Ronnie admits he's been previously thrashed by Archer and they challenge one another to a new game.
Find out more about Johnny and let us know if you think Ronnie can beat him in tonight's episode of Ronnie O'Sullivan's American Hustle on HISTORY at 10pm.
Five- times snooker world champion Ronnie O'Sullivan is on the ultimate road trip with his mate Matt Smith. This week the boys hit the heights in the Big Apple, visiting Ellis Island, once New York's gateway to America, and cruising in their very own Yellow Cab from historical pool scenes to street basketball games, sampling some classic New York street food, attempting to hustle local hot-shots – and tangling with pool-hall legends 'Kid' Delicious and Earl 'The Pearl' Strickland.
Ronnie and pal Matt are in Chicago, the 'Windy City', getting a taste of Americana watching baseball team the Cubs at Wrigley Field – and seeing if the snooker champ can turn his hand to this very different ballgame. After cruising the streets and jazz clubs once run by notorious mobster Al Capone, Ronnie tries shooting at a gun range – and certainly needs his killer instinct hustling the locals where iconic pool flick The Color Of Money was filmed – before he takes his sporting life in his hands facing the sassiest pool legend in the USA today… the 'Black Widow' Jeanette Lee.
Snooker champ Ronnie O'Sullivan and friend Matt Smith hit the birthplace of the blues on the latest leg of their epic US tour – starting with the Graceland home of Elvis Presley – but will Ronnie be allowed to play on the King's own pool table? Elsewhere in this fascinating town they learn some inspiring lessons in the Civil Rights Museum and make a top-class pool-cue with a maestro of the craft. On the tables, an attempt to hustle the locals might just backfire – before Ronnie risks a sting in the tale from a man they call 'The Scorpion' – one of the greatest players in pool history.
Snooker superstar Ronnie O'Sullivan and pal Matt Smith hit the streets of San Francisco in a Steve McQueen-style '68 Mustang to try to hustle the locals – with some sleight of hand from Ronnie – before he plays pool against one of the game's biggest ever money-earners. Along the way, they train with local NFL team the 49ers, check out the cyber-future of pool in nearby Silicon Valley – with disastrous results – and get the shocking real story of life behind bars at notorious former prison Alcatraz, from an inspiring ex-guard.

Stair Question..
I do floors, and my carpenter will not go out for 1 tread so I am stuck with doing this myself.
Should I just take out that piece of plywood and put drywall in? Maybe compound and sand it down? Or should I add a riser to the top? What would make this look best? There use to be carpet there but we ripped it off.
Thanks very much!
I think it'd look fine and match the gold tone threshold trim piece shown too.
Oh, but do not replace that plywood with drywall.... too easy for someone to kick a hole in it.
Yeah drywall is a bad idea. If you can easily remove the plywood, you could use liner material for a riser. Keep it proud of the drywall by a 1/4 and back bevel it for some detail and a caulking edge. Also, what's going on with the tread/rise ratio, something isn't right there. Looks like a 9 inch tread and 8 1/2 inch rise. :eek:
Brass? :huh: It's 2011!
Hello Joe
The problem as I see it is the transition between the linoleum floor and the step.
I would consider building out both risers about 2-3 inches.
Make the top riser 3/4" lower than the lino.
Install an oak tread on the first step and a 2-3" nose on top of the second riser flush with the linoleum.
This will give you the look of two steps vs just one looking like a box set on top of your oak floor.
I know this is more work but the end result will not look like an after thought and much more like a two step transition.
Just my 2¢
Unless it's the fact it's part copper and costs about the same as gold?
1 Attachment(s)
One thing I would definitely do (besides making sure you are in the legal size ranges on riser and tread... It is WAY not deep enough.) is to make that step six more inches wider on each side. People have a tendency to begin their turn before touching their foot to the tread when it sticks out from the wall like that. BTW that kind of step is called a swell step, and it is almost always larger than the rest.
This is not a joke. You are creating a fall hazard, and it could even be illegal if there is no handrail extending out that far also. That part would depend upon local codes....... but you will sure find out if someone gets hurt on it.
Below, is an idea of safer stairs............ although there should have also been a handrail on that left side..... AND both sides going on down the lower stairs. Unfortunately, most codes don't require that.
BTY, that handrail is probably not to code.................. and that piece of 'baseboard' kickboard sticking up is kind of dumb. For one thing, it is low enough that the sole of a shoe can catch the top of it. Not smart.
Are you noticing that those lower three steps appear to be deeper than any of the others? They may not be but if they were this would be a very good idea, especially with no handrail on the left.
I'd say this is a drawing still in progress.
Thank you to everyone that has answered! This forum has been very very helpful and I am thankful for all of the answers.
I look forward to being a member with this forum and if anyone has any questions about hardwood floors and ceramic tile, please feel free to message me!
Thanks to everyone once again!
considering that your not trying to match any hardwood floor in the area, just put a 2x10 on top and call it good.
what I would do is measure the entire height from the floor and the upper level. divide that by 2 and that will be the top of your step (hopefully a comfortable step height). frame your bottom step so that after your tread, you achieve the finished height. as far as facing, i would check out some veneer plywood (finished 1 side). this stuff is very reasonably priced and is only 1/8"-1/4" thick. it will stain up and match your tread.
please post pics when you've completed this.
I need to make a flight of stairs which are not a simple rectangular shape. It needs to be a trapezoid.
I was hoping I could just split them like splitting a slab, or trim to a wall, but they just don't work. There has to be a way to create a stair that is like this, or atleast a way to trim it down to such a shape!?
I dunno about this Archicad program

text: Have any of you with Sonomas ever replaced the oil cooler lines yourself? I believe the factory lines are/were known to be terrible. I don't think there was ever a recall on them, but they're known to leak. I've been eye-balling them on Ebay, but am debating on doing the work considering re/re-ing looks like it involves a lot of tight space work. Thoughts? Thanks.

Rep. Mike Fitzpatrick gives the Weekly Republican Party Remarks
Hello, I'm Mike Fitzpatrick, proudly serving Pennsylvania's eighth congressional district.
It's an honor to speak with you this weekend as we celebrate the spirit and ingenuity of America's workers. (Scroll down for full video of these remarks.)
We are a nation that builds things. From skyscrapers to smartphone apps, we live in a land where anyone can create, innovate, and pursue their American Dream.
But as I've traveled throughout my district this summer — visiting 100 local businesses in 100 days to speak with workers and business owners — it's easy to sense that Americans are frustrated.
Nearly five years into the Obama presidency, the workers who drive our economy see nothing but roadblocks coming out of Washington.
President Obama's health care law comes to mind.
It's driving up premiums, and forcing workers and their spouses out of plans that they like. Small companies say the taxes and government mandates make it more difficult for them to hire. Even doctors are warning that the law doesn't come close to addressing the real problems in our health care system.
It simply isn't working as promised — and the president knows it. He's already signed seven bills repealing or defunding parts of it. And he's been busy handing out waivers and delays.
Republicans want to protect everyone from this health care law so we can focus on step-by-step, patient-centered reforms that actually lower costs. We think it's only fair to give all Americans the same delay the president is giving to big businesses. But the president threatened to veto a bipartisan bill that would do so — why?
President Obama's energy policies are another concern.
Republicans have an all-of-the-above energy strategy that will help lower prices, boost manufacturing, and improve our national security. But the president is blocking efforts to create jobs and make energy more affordable. Case in point: the Keystone energy pipeline.
This month marks five years since the Keystone application was first filed. Since then, it's passed every environmental review. Labor unions want it. It's privately funded — no taxpayer dollars involved. And again, it has bipartisan support in Congress.
So why is the Obama administration still standing in the way of this 'shovel-ready' project?
Lastly, people in my district are also worried about the size and scope of the federal government.
They're worried that the threat of higher taxes and the almost-endless stream of red tape are choking the engines of our economy.
Republicans want to get spending under control and simplify the tax code — making it flatter and fairer for everyone. And we've passed several jobs bills to eliminate excessive regulations and bring common-sense oversight to the regulatory process.
But the president is still pushing more of the same tax hikes and 'stimulus'-style policies that have left us with weak job growth, high prices, and stagnant paychecks. Again we have to ask: Why?
If there's one thing I've heard a lot of these last few weeks, it's that people want Congress to focus on expanding opportunity instead of expanding the government.
That's the goal of the Republican jobs plan — and you can see it at gop.gov/jobs It's focused on breaking down the government roadblocks that are hurting our economy, and putting Americans back in the driver's seat.
Because we want to make sure that the workers we're celebrating this weekend can keep doing what they do best: Building. Creating. And preserving the American Dream for future generations. Thank you for listening. ####

my tile floor is warm
I have a 2-story house built in 1966 on slab in Northridge, CA. I have Copper piping. My kitchen & corridor tile floor from Wtr Htr in Garage to kitchen sink is too warm in different areas along the 40 foot run. Is hot water leaking at multiple areas under the slab. Hot water at kitchen sink takes 5 seconds to get hot(40 foot from heater). In other parts of the house, it take 30 to 40 seconds. I discovered this warm floor in the summer when I walked bare foot. No sign of wetness or moisture on floor. I shut off the hot water valve at the heater during the night 10 PM to 5 AM to check. Still the floor is warm at 5 AM. I don't have a heater pump. Can you help?
Do you have radiant heat under your tile floor?
I do not know. How can I find out. Nothing is indicated at the circuit breaker panel, no thermostat, ...
Is the home an Eichler perchance?
Eichler Homes were a contemporary styled home featuring open living areas, flat or slightly pitched roofs that sometimes incorporated a sharp point above a entryway. Eichlers have extensive glass areas much of which is at the top or near the peak. They do not have an attic or any crawlspaces.Eichlers are on a concrete slab, and introduced the use of hydronic radiant panel heat for the heating system. They were built from 1950 - 1973 in Northern California, between San Rafael and San Jose. I understand they built them down south where you are.
There are approximately 11,000 homes in these areas.
To me Eichlers look more like a carport with doors than a home :-)
If you have an Eichler its real possible you have a radiant heat floor.
I am having the same problem. I also live in Northridge in a two story townhome. I think the first tile began to get warm 2 weeks ago and now its half the kitchen and part of the breakfast nook. We also tried turning off the water heater while we went to work but it did nothing. HELP!
People pay good money for this feature to be installed in their floor. Go with it:D
I know this may sound strange but how about talking to the neighbors if they have similar homes they may have information about the "problem"? They may even be nice folks.
More of the kitchen floor is getting warm. I noticed my 1-year water heater is working non-stop. I turn the heater water valve off during the night and when out at work. Heater manufacturer confirmed that there is a leak. I am more convinced that my copper piping has numerous pin holes and a major re-piping has to be done.
Sounds like a broken water line under the floor. Try turning of the water from the heater and see if the floor cools off.

Day 2 of the Canton Carnival resulted in this: the Boston Globe gets the 1991 Mitt Romney testimony it wanted from the Stemberg divorce, and the rest of the media will get it too, but Maureen Sullivan Stemberg is still bound by the confidentiality agreement from talking about Romney's role.
Tom Stemberg's attorney [updated to clarify], who had been vociferously opposing the release yesterday, came in today with a proposal to, in effect, give the Globe the transcript if they dropped the attempt to lift the gag order. The Globe attorney agreed. The Romney and Staples attorneys had no objection.
Gloria Allred, who had flown in from California to represent Sullivan Stemberg, had a big objection. Unfortunately for her, it's the Globe's motion, not hers. She begged and pleaded, both to the judge and to the Globe attorney, but to no avail. (She did, however, think to clarify that she has permission to give the transcripts to other media; I should be getting them later today.)
Sullivan Stemberg is free to bring her own motion to lift the gag order. She can also try to get another media partner to join that effort (as she helpfully noted in her press conference afterward). But that's going to be an uphill climb.
Stemberg's attorney gave a brief statement downplaying the contents of the transcript. The other attorneys ducked away. Allred accused the Globe of a "double-cross" and suggested that the transcripts are of lesser value without Sullivan Stemberg's elucidating comments.
Soon enough we'll see what's in the testimony -- and probably of more importance, what the Globe has that the testimony fits into. Meanwhile, it's Globe 1, Allred 0.

It's not Star Wars, but it's pretty close, say those behind the New Zealand launch of a new video-conferencing robot.
Auckland-based voice and video communications technology company Asnet Technologies has launched the American-designed VGo, a remote-controlled robot that resembles the droids seen in the George Lucas movies and which is used as a mobile web cam.
Asnet managing director Eric Greenop said the 1.20m robot allowed people to video conference on the move.
"It's basically a person sitting at a laptop being able to go somewhere."
The robot appeared at the world's largest consumer technology tradeshow, CES, in the United States, before its New Zealand debut at the Health Infomatics conference in Auckland last month. The company hopes the robot will appeal to the health sector.

Then the other day I came across one that I think is a great buy and was wondering what you guys thought as well. It's a 2005 automatic wrx with 27k miles on it and it's being sold for 14k. The car is stock and they said they haven't modded it any. So what do you think should I finally through down some dough and get it? Also I have a few pics of it if you feel like seeing it.

The Best!!!
Dr. Ringwald is the best doctor I've even known in any field of medicine.. She listens, truly cares, is extremely competent and thorough, and has an incredible bedside manner. Dr. Ringwald makes one feel like he/she is an "especially important" patient, and she is willing to go the distance for them, whether it be researching on their behalf, or finding help resolving medical issues which fall outside of her specialties. I feel truly blessed to know her and call her my doctor. (:

Dr. Ringwald is one of the kindest, most professional, and talented doctors I have ever known. She made me feel so comfortable and reassured from the very beginning that she wanted what was best for me. Perfect rating in every single area!!

Dr. Rindwald was fantastic! She is hard to get into, but very much worth the wait. She was more than willing to deal with secondary issues and very thorough with her exam. She has a great bedside manner and is really willing to listen & understand the issues you are having. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing to see a rheumatologist.

Less than helpful
Very reluctant to help with secondary conditions resulting from primary disease. Pain, infection etc. She would rather dodge the resposability for care than go the extra distance for her patients.

Don't bother me with that.
Dr Ringwald is about Dr Ringwald. Do not expect to approach her with secondary problems or issues resulting or stemming from your condition or treatment. I believe she feels that her job is to treat your disease not you. I have found she would rather push any time consuming issues to the General Practitioner or anyone else she can think of to avoid dealing with her patients secondary medical issues wether they are related to your condition or not. That said, i feel she is a competent Rheumatolgist, but leaves much to be desired as a Doctor.

Amazing Physician
As someone in the medical field, I see good and bad doctors. Dr Ringwald, although hard to get an appointment, has a brilliant bedside manner. She truly cares about her patients, takes the time to listen to any/all of your concerns and makes sure that you leave with your questions answered or a plan of action. It would not be enough if she just had a great bedside manner. This gal knows her stuff and is on top of her game. Knowledge+Integrity+Caring Beside Manner= Amazing physician. I could not recommend her highly enough. She has a code of ethics that we hope we find in a physician, but rarely do.

I had a horrible experience with a previous rheumatologist and was very scared to go to my first appointment with Dr. Ringwald. needless to say, she was absolutely wonderful to work with and when I left after that first appointment i felt like the weight of the world had been lifted off my shoulders and we would find out what was going on with me. I did in fact receive a diagnosis, and while what I am facing is very scary I am grateful that she took the time to listen to me, do research for me, and make sure I understood what I need to do for myself. I would highly recommend Dr. Ringwald to anyone who is needing to see a rheumatologist.

I have been a patient with Dr. Ringwald for close to two years. She has listened to my complaints, focused on my symptoms and was unwilling to quit until she found a diagnosis for my elusive disorder. She makes eye contact, talks on a level that NON-MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS can understand, and is NEVER condescending. I have NEVER been uncomfortable or felt rushed through an appointment.

text: San Francisco musician Mikey Sanders has spent much of the past year under the moniker Blackbird Blackbird, crafting dreamy, synth-laden dance pop gems. But dude cannot be contained to just one moniker. Cursed Kids is Sanders' new split-personality, though he'll still be doing Blackbird Blackbird work, too. "Eugene," the first song that Sanders has dropped under the new name, immediately sets itself apart from Sanders' previous work. It explodes with Afropop rhythm and energy, rocking jangly guitars, sunny-as-hell keys and some boisterous vocals. It sounds like Contra was invited to a dance party with The-Dream in Jamaica, and if that doesn't sound like fun to you, you have no soul. Check it out below, or at the Cursed Kids Bandcamp page.

Australian coal producers are set to pay an additional eight per cent or $7.4 billion in taxes over the first five years of the federal government's planned mineral resource rent tax proposal.
An analysis by resources consultancy Wood Mackenzie found the top five Australian producers will account for 55 per cent of this additional tax over the five-year period with those holding the highest margins to be the most affected.
Wood Mackenzie warned the government's tax take is based on strong coal prices continuing.
"A return to the low prices of just a few years ago will see no additional government revenue flowing from MRRT, with some companies benefiting from a reduction in the corporate tax rate from 30 per cent to 29 per cent," notes Wood Mackenzie.
Gero Farruggio, head of coal supply research, said Australia's tax take from the coal industry is still likely to be high when compared with other international producers.
"This year, we estimate Australia – the world's largest coal exporter – will pay $9.3 billion in tax and royalty payments from coal production, which compares to A$5.9 billion from Indonesia, the second largest exporter."
Farruggio said the remaining worth of Australian coal mines is estimated at $244 billion, shared between 83 companies.

Lesson 1: Sequence Clue Words (Part 1)
Lesson Plan
- Learning Goal
- Use sequence clue words (first, second, third, next, after, finally, then) to show the correct order of events in fiction.
- Duration
- Approximately 50 minutes
- Necessary Materials
- Provided: Direct Teaching Passage, "Tony's First Day of School;" Guided Practice Passage, "The Lost Kitten;" and Independent Practice Worksheet
Not Provided: scissors, chart paper, markers
Teacher Modeling
will explain that it is important to understand the sequence (or the order that things happen) in a story so that we can understand the story better. I will explain to students that authors often use sequence words to help us understand the sequence of events in a story. I will put four students in a line and model using sequence words by explaining which student is first, second, third, and last. I will chart these sequence words. I will tell students that there are other sequence words that can help determine sequence as well. I will add these to the chart (next, after, finally, then). I will explain that sequence words in stories help the reader understand when things are happening in the text. I will read aloud the short passage "Tony's First Day of School" (text provided in unit) and model identifying the sequence words that tell me what happened after Tony woke up that morning. Note: You will need to save the sequence word chart, as it will be used in Lessons 2 and 3.
Think Check
Ask: "How can I identify the order of events in a story?" Students should respond that you can pay attention to sequence words such as first, next, then, last, and finally.
Guided Practice
will read "The Lost Kitten" (provided in this unit) together and identify the sequence words in the story. We will discuss how the sequence words helped us know what order the events in the story happened after the boy saw the kitten.
Independent Practice
will use sequence words to put sentence strips of "Rebecca's Morning" (provided in this unit) in sequence. You will explain how the sequence clue words help you determine the sequence of the story.
Build Student Vocabulary excited
|Tier 2 Word: excited
|Contextualize the word as it is used in the story
|"I was so excited that it was the first day of school."
|Explain the meaning student-friendly definition)
|Excited means to feel enjoyment or to look forward to something. The character in the passage is excited. This means that the character is looking forward to the first day of school.
|Students repeat the word
|Say the word excited with me: excited.
|Teacher gives examples of the word in other contexts
|I was excited to go to the zoo. I love to see the zebras. I was excited to visit with my cousin.
|Students provide examples
|When have you been excited? Why were you excited? Start by saying, I was excited when ______________ because _________________."
|Students repeat the word again.
|What word are we talking about? excited
|Additional Vocabulary Words
|streaming, bright
Build Student Background Knowledge
After reading the passage, "The Lost Kitten," teach the students additional facts about kittens. Kittens are born into a "litter," a group of other baby kittens. Most kittens are born helpless and dependent on their mother cats. Mother cats carry their kittens around by the scruffs of their necks.

SearchAll Refuges
The National Wildlife Refuge System, within the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, manages a national network of lands and waters set aside to conserve America's fish, wildlife, and plants.
Following the establishment of Florida's Pelican Island as the first National Wildlife Refuge in 1903, the System has grown to encompass more than 150 million acres within more than 550 Refuges, many Wetland Management Districts, and thousands of Waterfowl Production Areas.
More than 41 million people visit National Wildlife Refuges each year to participate in activities such as hunting, fishing, wildlife observation, and photography, and to attend environmental education and interpretive programs. Their spending generates almost $1.7 billion in sales and close to 27,000 jobs for regional economies.
Wildlife Refuges are home to more than 700 species of birds, 220 species of mammals, 250 reptile and amphibian species, and more than 200 species of fish. Fifty-nine Refuges have been established with a primary purpose of conserving threatened or endangered species.
There is at least one National Wildlife Refuge in every state, and one within an hour's drive of most major cities—offering people a welcoming, safe, and accessible place to nourish their spirits and reconnect to the land.

Please see today's (5/22) Apple Stock Watch Report for information on Apple's trading activity and today's closing price.
AAPL closed up today $.86 in a braod rally sparked by the Biotech sector and a favorable durable goods report. AAPL had above average trading volume of about 6.6 million shares. At the bell AAPL stood at $25.18.
Apple closed down $1.28 today 5/24 at $24.15. Volume was well below average at about 2.97 million shares. The last trading day before the Memorial Day weeked saw a decline in the major market indexes ahead of the holiday and a more than two percent decline in the NASDAQ Composite Index.
Apple closed down $.17 today 5/28 at $23.98. Apple fell through the $24.00 per share floor but closed up from its intra-day low of $23.43. The major indexes closed markedly lower over concerns about consumer sentiment and forecasts of slowing consumer spending.
Please see Monday's special report for an overview of regulations and litigation that may be putting a damper on upbeat analyst recommendations and reducing the amount of information flowing from corporate executives.
Please see the 5/29 Apple Stock Watch report for a recap of Wednesday's market activity.
Apple closed up $.22 today 5/30 at $24.20 on a day that saw the major market indexes turn in mixed performances. Volume was a light 3.54 million shares.
iMac Sales
From MacNN:
Analyst predicts lower iMac shipments
Morgan Stanley says that Apple will ship about 235,000 iMac units this quarter compared with Wall Street consensus estimates of roughly 300,000, according to Briefing.com. Update: Salomon Smith Barney is "defending AAPL against a rumor that they will miss the 300k iMac Street forecast ; firm does not know where the 300k forecast comes from, and believes [Apple] is tracking towards 225k-250k units for the quarter (although that is still below firm's estimate of 265k)."
Apple closed down today 5/31 $.90 at $23.30. Volume was a hefty 6.527 million shares due to rumors of a shortfall in iMac shipments.
Please see today's Apple Stock Watch report for a review of Monday's trading activity.
What is going on at Lucent?
Lucent took a big dive, reportedly due to "aggressive accounting practices". Would be interested on any info on this.
Bryan Chaffin
- [ Ignore ]
About that Morgan Stanley/Salomon SMith Barney business: we had a MUCH more detailed story earlier that day with a LOT more information than the mention Doc H. mentions above.
Editor - The Mac Observer
Favorite (but less relevant than it used to be) Quote: Microsoft's tyranny lies not in its success, but in the way it achieved and maintains that success.
Apple closed down today 6/4 $.13 to close at $22.78. Volume was an above-average 6.21 million shares . The increased volume was most likely due to the announcement that the eMac is being made available to retail customers.

A few months ago at Earubddy we put together a 'best of' list for the first quarter of 2012. In it, we were asked what album we were most anticipating later in the year. This was my response.
New York's dB's originally hit the scene in that period of the late-seventies when everything seemed slightly askew. Though the group is definitely rooted in power pop, they include elements of punk and funk that make the picture just slightly hazy. Falling From the Sky will be the band's first record in twenty-five years and I am stoked. Like the fantastic reunion of The Feelies last year, The dB's are set to show these kids just how good a band can be.
I would just like to make this official and say…ahem…I was right. I was really, really right. For the first time since 1982's Repercussion, the original lineup of the dB's has come back together for a new record. You may not recognize them as you once knew them. It's only fair. Repercussion was released before I was even a year old. If we are to expect a group to constantly evolve with each new album, how could you complain when it happens with an entire lifetime between records?
That being said, I think I actually prefer what we are seeing here on Falling Off The Sky over almost anything the group has done (save maybe their fantastic debut Stands For Decibels). There is absolutely no trickery or genre pretension with the music the group is making today. They are crafting top-notch pop songs that are saved from becoming cheesy by a sort of roughshod edge to the Mitch Easter production and a feeling that this is really just four guys having fun playing together again.
I've offered diatribes about this topic before when discussing groups like Imperial Teen and Wild Flag, but I'll say it again for good measure; this best music is made by democracy. Groups that freely offer each member equal time in the spotlight are almost always going to create something better than ones that are little more than id projects for a single member. Falling Off The Sky is a perfect example of the former.
The voices are Chris Stamey and Peter Holsapple (the dB's two primary songwriters) are certainly present, but they never overtake the proceedings. As a matter of fact, it seems that the group specifically chose understated performances in an effort to let everyone shine. So, while the slight, jangly guitar performances are great throughout, you also get amazing percussion from Will Rigby on "I Didn't Mean To Say That" and solid bass lines from Gene Holder on "The Power of Love". Rising from this sort of instrumental equality is also a reminder of just how good Chris Stamey and Peter Holsapple are together as songwriters. It shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone that has heard either of the great records the two have made together since the dB's demise. These guys have kept growing throughout their careers, and together they might be the closest thing we have today to Lennon and McCartney (or more likely Chilton and Bell).
I feel a little dirty making a comparison like that. It just seems somewhat hack. But it also isn't too far off. The song "The Adventures of Albatross and Doggerel" is nothing if not a harder rocking version of something you'd find on Sgt. Pepper's. With Big Star however, the case is a lot stronger. From the generation immediately before Stamey and Holsapple, Alex Chilton and Chris Bell were also hugely influential power pop icons that were only truly recognized well after their band's demise. You'll find sly references to Big Star throughout Falling Off The Sky (take a listen to the guitar riff on "Before We Were Born"). As to the influential part, just try and listen to songs like "The Wonder of Love" or "Send Me Something Real" without thinking about the most earnest moments from artists like Jonathan Coulton, Ween, and the Honeydogs. Unlike Bell and Chilton, Stamey and Holsapple are still around for us to enjoy, and they just keep getting better as they go.
Falling Off The Sky isn't a celebration of what the dB's have done before. This is a pure statement of where the band is today. Best yet, it gives me a reason to hold hope for more in the future. The dB's have plenty enough in the tank to avoid using laurels as a crutch. That is exactly why Falling Off The Sky is one of the best records that will be released this year.
Key Tracks:
"That Time Is Gone"
"The Wonder Of Love"
"Send Me Something Real"

The 411: After a far too long hiatus, the Power Pop kings of the American Underground have returned in a big, bad way. The band is obviously having fun playing together again and the songwriting is top notch. I think the dB's just released one of the best records of the year.

Wolverine Boots: Tremor DuraShocks Slip Resistant Boots 4324

very comfortable...
By: rspetty
These are great work boots. Very comfortable, during the summer my feet stay dry compared to other boots that they sweat in. They are water resistant and slip resistant as stated and actually live up to that. I work around alot of oil and grease and the sole doesnt absorb it like other boots I have worn. Really like these Wolverine boots.

great boot for the money...
By: jacksonpg15
I bought many pairs of these boots before I finally found a slip on wolverine boot that was narrow enough for my feet. I loved how light and durable these boots are and they would keep my feet cool in the summer and warm in the winter. They also had great water proofing that lasted for almost the whole life of the boot.

Loved them but.....
By: RM
I loved these boots. They looked good and were very comfortable. Unfortunately, after a couple of years the sole started coming apart in huge chunks. It was such an awful ending to an otherwise awesome pair of boots. If they could resolve that issue these would be a five star pair of boots.

US researchers have identified a link between chemicals found in non-stick cookware and heart disease.
But Australian experts have urged caution about the findings, which suggested increasing levels of perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) in the blood were associated with cardiovascular disease.
PFOAs are found in products including lubricants, polishes, food packaging and non-stick cookware.
But people can also be exposed to the chemicals in drinking water and the air, a study published in the Archives of Internal Medicine said.
The study reviewed the levels of the chemical in 1216 people with heart problems.
The findings were independent of other factors including age, sex, smoking, weight, and diabetes.
The authors from the West Virginia University School of Public Health said the results contributed to the data emerging on the health effects of perfluoroalkyl chemicals.
But the study could not conclude that the chemicals actually caused heart problems, the authors said.
Chair of Water Quality Research Australia Professor Michael Moore said ubiquitous exposure to PFOA, although at low levels, in non-stick cookware, could cause considerable anxiety.
He said the chemical was also found in coatings on clothing and carpets and in plumbing tape.
Moore said although the authors had tried to remove other lifestyle factors from the equation, there was still a possibility the PFOA levels were caused by other exposures.
"The key point is that there are numerous established contenders for cardiovascular disease risk factors - smoking, lifestyle, exercise, diet - all of which may contribute more to cardiovascular disease than PFOA exposure," Moore said.
Monash University Professor Brian Priestly said the results of other studies investigating the link between PFOA and heart disease had been inconsistent.
University of Adelaide pharmacology lecturer Dr Ian Musgrave said single blood measurements were taken in a short period of time and the long-term exposure to PFOA may be different from the results taken from one measurement.
"We know, for example, that blood levels for PFOA are falling over time due to regulation of this chemical," he said.
In the same edition of the journal, Debabrata Mukherjee of Texas Tech University Health Sciences said given the concerns raised by the study, clinicians needed to act now.
"It would make sense to limit or to eliminate the use of PFOA and its congeners in industry through legislation and regulation while improving water purification and treatment techniques to try and remove this potentially toxic chemical from our water supply," Mukherjee said.

WHBKLER Associated Press Writer PNOM PENH, Cambodia (AP) The. Communist com- mand seemingly must now face the threat that U.S. jets will show up on any Cambodian bat- tlefield at any lime. The result could be a slower and more cautious pace for ene- my. offensives, and possibly a revision of strategy. Yet wheth- er. U.S. air power can signifi- cantly imporve the Lon Nol gov- ernment's chances for survival remains to be seen. Senior officers in Saigon have recalled that U.S. fighter-bomb- ers began helping South Viet- namese troops in 1965 but only An Awoelated Newt Analytlt the massive commitment of American ground forces stemmed a powerful enemy tide. One of the government's most serious problems has been lack of heavy firepower, that is fight- er-bombers and-artillery. Sever- al defeats could be traced to this factor. Now willi U.S. jets apparently ready lo pour loads of bombs, napalm and explosive cannon (ire into North Vietnamese and Viet Cong positions, when called upon, the gap in firepower has been partly bridged. Officially, Cambodia has adopted the U.S. line that air strikes in this country are to in- terdict enemy supply lines and infiltrating troops, with the aim of saving American lives in Vietnam. U.S. fighter-bombers and B52 Stratofortresses have been bombing enemy supply lines in Cambodia for'weeks and have made limited appearances at Kampong Thorn and Siem Reap north and northwest of Phnom Penh. But as far as is known, this week marked the beginning of the process whereby Cambodian field commanders call out coor- dinates to circling U.S. war- planes and direct them lo close- in raids aimed only al relieving enemy pressure on Cambodian field units. A Cambodian high command spokesman refased to comment on witnesses reports of one such strike, but suggested thai any- thing that hurts Cambodia's en- emies will also indirectly 'aid U.S. units in Vietnam. Since most of the enemy forces fighting in Cambodia are the same lhal fought U.S. forces before the Cambodian war broke out nearly five months ago, the argument appears lo many to have some merit. U.S. commanders in Vietnam have always said the way to fight any enemy is lo strike his area be- fore he can hil yours. There seems no question an enemy victory in Cambodia would free elite North Vietnamese and Viet Cong units for forays into South Vietnam. One question in Phnom .Penh is whether U.S. air strikes would continue if important segments of world and U.S. opinion violently opposed Uie raids. Bui al the moment Cam- bodian commanders in Uie field are delighted. Corpus Begins Cracking Down on Profiteers CORPUS Tex.
