Nice I can get in to some Talking Heads
When I was 4-6 years old I used to sit on the floor in the livingroom playing my Dads records
Someplace in a heavy rainstorm and Tornado warnings...
He used to use me as an excuse to my Mom to go see a concert lol
Last concert he went with me to was Clutch 1 or 2 yrs ago.
Now He stays current with music through what I listen to and most of the time likes what I like.
His Ipod play list is my play list any time he knows I have updated my playlists he brings his Ipod over for an update for new stuff.

I love how music can transport you back in time to a particular place. Good and bad. So many songs just take me and put me into the 60's or 70's, with sights and feelings so vivid.
Light My Fire plays and I can feel the chill in the night air riding in the back of my moms 66 VW with the top down as an eight year old......Wedding Bell Blues plays and I am 11 riding the Greyhound alone to Milwaukee to stay with my grandmother, I can still see the little 9 volt transistor radio(ear plug!), with my Laugh-In style 60's stickers on it.
Ace Frehley, Back In The New York Groove and I can see the exact street I was rolling my Talisman down with it cranked up.
Be careful with this Forum - all of it. It appears to have become contaminated with a virus embedded in one or more videos or YouTube snippets. Multiple antivirus warnings and the Microsoft "blue screen of death" (complete Windows restart) twice today. Sending a report to Trend Micro in a minute. Beware.
Also, just got an Adobe Flash crash warning.
Yeah, I just had my main computer locked up by a malware virus that is referred to as the FBI virus. A screen appears with FBI logos that says you have illegally violated copyright law and that your computer is now locked until you pay a $300. fine (payable by money order obtainable at many stores). Of course, despite the very authentic web page, this is a scam .... and extortion by Internet!
The FBI already has warnings on this. Unfortunately your computer is locked and you have to have a professional de-bug your system to return it to operating condition. In my case I contacted Norton Symantec where I have my security account, they were aware of the virus but said it somehow slipped through their net and that it would cost me $100. to have the malware removed (I did this took the tech 2 1/2 hours working over the Internet). I had contacted Staples who could also remove the malware but wanted $150.00 to do the job, and I would have to bring the machine into their store. Apparently many other (Staples tech said he had fixed over 36 computers in Midlothian that had become infected). So as they used to say on "Hill Street Blues," "Stay safe out there!"
Twenty-or-so minutes ago, while getting clothes together for some stupid banquet to give me some kind of award tomorrow.
In the living room, it would seem one of my friends has found the vinyl player and has chosen to help herself to some music.
Jeebus, my friends have as bad of taste as I do.

I can't find who has it open. /proc/mounts shows /dev/sdb1 mounted on /media/usb0, when I umount it (either by mount point or device) it disappears, but the lv still shows open, and as a result I am unable to do anything with it. lsof also shows nothing open that resembles this lv. I can inactivate the other two lvs in this vg, but not lv_home.
What can I do to fix this problem?

After a lengthy pursuit London Welsh finally got what they were after on Friday when an independent appeal panel overturned the RFU's decision to deny the Championship winners their rightful place in the Premiership.
After taking victory in the Championship play-offs and securing what it believed was a spot in the top flight, the club was then told that it failed to match the 'entry criteria' as set out by the RFU and Premiership Rugby and would therefore not be allowed to make the step up.
An appeal followed and eventually London Welsh were handed the news they had been waiting for.
Hopefully, the result will now lead to a serious re-evaluation of the system and even an abolition of the overly demanding — and flimsy in many areas — criteria for playing in the top tier.
Oval Talk spouted forth on the issue in mid-May so we won't go over old ground. However, it would seem that despite the best efforts of the RFU to keep Newcastle in the Premiership at the expense of London Welsh the underdog has won out, and perhaps most satisfyingly the subsequent overruling of the governing body's decision could well have opened the door for reform.
Wishful thinking? Maybe. However, the striking down of a ruling by the administrative body of the sport on the grounds of EU and UK competition law lays the foundations for a strong argument for the scrapping of such a selective method of deciding who goes up.
The primary focus of the 'failure' of London Welsh to meet the 'entry criteria' was the fact they did not hold what is referred to as 'primacy of tenure' of their proposed home ground next season — the Kassam Stadium in Oxford. The fact that Wasps, Saracens and London Irish did not for the 2011-2012 season was a strong grounding in London Welsh's argument, and highlighted the weakness of the original decision to deny them promotion.
With such a blow having been struck against the system that decrees entry to the Premiership, there can be no other way forward than to completely rethink the process. There can be no denying that certain requirements have to be met by teams who do come up, but some halfway ground needs to be found in terms of how this is achieved.
How is a team supposed to gain promotion and prosper if it is denied its place — one gained through merit and on-pitch achievement — by the governing bodies which are entrusted with the health of the game?
In this instance justice has been done and London Welsh will now take their place in the Premiership. How they fare will be anybody's guess, but at least now we'll know.

Dec 6, 2013 - The Associated PressEvents canceled due to cold
LARAMIE -- Laramie is postponing its annual downtown holiday parade and tree lighting because of the continuing cold.
The event had been scheduled for Friday night, when temperatures could drop as low minus-15. With a lot of children expected, organizers decided to delay the tradition until Dec. 13.
High temperatures across the state are forecast to remain in the single digits through the weekend.
Residents in Laramie and the Shirley Basin endured temperatures of 31 degrees below zero Wednesday night, and high temperatures across the state were forecast to remain in the single digits through the weekend.
Other frigid readings across Wyoming overnight included minus-24 in Rawlins, minus-22 in Casper and Pinedale and minus-19 in Cheyenne.
Laramie Range elk habitat protected
CHEYENNE -- The Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation has worked out an agreement with landowners to give permanent protection to more than 3,300 acres along the eastern front of Wyoming's Laramie Range.
Blake Henning is vice president of lands and conservation for the Missoula, Mont.-based foundation. He says the transaction protects wildlife habitat from the threat of increasing development and also stands as the group's first conservation easement in Platte County.
Ryan Amundson is biologist with the Wyoming Game and Fish Department. He says conservation easements can play a key role with willing landowners in conserving the best wildlife habitat.
U-mine secures $20 million bond
A uranium company has secured a $20 million state industrial development revenue bond to begin production at an in-situ uranium mine in northeast Wyoming.
The bond for Uranerz Energy Corp. carries a 5.75 percent interest rate.

Don't make excuses. Make good. I love this quote—words to live by! I decided to record a video of this drawing because people have seemed to enjoy seeing the process in the past. The filming angle isn't great—which is due to my crappy setup. I'm hoping to figure out a way to record more overhead soon.

my new ATS just arrived...
What a great Canada Day weekend treat...my new ATS was delivered to me on Friday afternoon! Spend Friday night in the cockpit playing and programming and exploring.
I believe mine had to be in the last batch of '13's that were built, and as such hopefully I've benefited from all the issues (and subsequent fixes) that have come from this group diligently raising them to Cadillac. From what I've seen so far, CUE is quick and responsive from a touch perspective and it paired to a Blackberry, Motorola and a Samsung immediately, and played music from the SD card and USB stick. Voice seems to work well...I just say play Matchbox 20 and it finds it and does it. There are no 'weird' noises so far, steering wheel good, Climate Control awesome. Registered with OnStar and downloading the RemoteLink app (too bad it doesn't work with Bberry Torch). And the driving...sweet! Saturday and Sunday morning I was out driving, finding ways to make the shopping trip realllly long. Used the NAV to find the longest way to where I was going lol.
Thanks to all the members for all the valuable info in making the decision, and for supporting the ATS community! Felt like I knew the car inside and out before I got it.

During a five-day Don't Bully Our Breed adoption event, the Tehama County Animal Care Center will reduce the adoption fees for pit bull and chihuahua type dogs to $45 or less.
Animal Care Center staff are hoping to highlight often forgotten breeds during this adoption event.
"Pit bull and chihuahua type dogs are often heavily overrepresented in shelters, and the same is true here in Tehama County," said manager Christine McClintock. "In reality, pit bulls and chihuahuas are two of the top three most popular dogs across the country, and in the state of California."
Due to a lot of negative publicity for both breeds, people often hesitate to adopt pit bulls, chihuahuas and especially mixes of those breeds."
"With this adoption event, we wanted to focus on the fact that each dog is an individual, and shouldn't be judged by their parentage, or by their breed," McClintock said. "Even purebred dogs vary greatly in personality and behavior within a respective breed."
When adopting from a shelter, breed should not be the first thing adopters consider. Since the dogs don't come in to the shelter with their pedigree around their necks, breed labels in all animal shelters are educated guesses by shelter staff.
"Instead, adopters should be looking for a dog with the right personality to fit their lifestyle," McClintock said.
Dogs ready for adoption are micro-chipped, licensed, current on vaccinations and have been tested for heartworm. Additionally, all spay/neuter and rabies vaccination fees for dogs adopted during the Don't Bully Our Breed adoption event will be paid for by PETS — Providing
Essentials for Tehama Shelter.
The center is at 1830 Walnut St. in Red Bluff. Hours are 8 a.m. to noon and 1-5 p.m. Monday through Friday and 10 a.m. to noon and 1-4:30 p.m. Saturday. Adoption hours are 10 a.m. to noon and 1-4:30 p.m. If you would like more information regarding adopting, fostering or becoming a Care Center volunteer, call 530-527-3439 or send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com.

Park and Ride continues for this weekend's games Posted by IceCaps on
The St. John's IceCaps are pleased to announce that the Metrobus Park and Ride service will be available for the IceCaps upcoming weekend series against the Providence Bruins.
Sunday afternoon's game against Providence has been changed from a 4:00 p.m. to a 6:00 p.m. start time due to the downtown congestion expected for the Santa Claus Parade.
Sunday's Park and Ride service will begin at 5:00 p.m. and return shuttles will be available immediately following the games. Shuttles will run from Bowring Park and Confederation Building.
The fare is $4.00 per person, payable on the way to Mile One Centre. A proof of payment system will be in place; those without the required proof of payment will be denied boarding after the game.
Metrobus asks that patrons please have exact change available (coins preferred) as their drivers do not carry change.
Catch all the action with broadcaster Brian Rogers at stjohnsicecaps.com and Radio Newfoundland 930 AM, or www.thisisnewfoundlandlabrador.ca. Fans can also watch all 76 games online at www.ahllive.com, with select games available live on Rogers TV in Newfoundland. Visit the IceCaps official website for the full schedule.

At a million square feet, the world's largest yogurt plant would have taken two years to complete on a traditional construction cycle.

Melvin Boswell, 35, the man who police said they believed was using the apartment as a drug cache, with a vicious dog or dogs on guard, was already in police custody, having been arrested on a drug charge on Monday. He lived in the same building as Mrs Spruill, but on the ninth floor.
Mr Boswell's girlfriend said on Friday that Boswell had used crack and had an 11-week-old pit bull cross, but did not have a gun. She accused police of "making him out to be a killer" to cover their mistake.
Commissioner Kelly promised a "thorough investigation" and said all aspects of the raid were under investigation, from the reliability of the informant who first led police to Mrs Spruill's apartment, to subsequent efforts by police to confirm the informant's tip, to the decision by police to use the flash grenade.

quote:All thought this is goods news for Wilson, there has been no official word from Florida State about whether or not he would be reinstated.
Tim Jansen said Wilson had the initial felony charge reduced to misdemeanor petty theft and misdemeanor criminal mischief. Wilson already has paid $1,074 in restitution to the scooter owner, and was sentenced to spend 30 days on a jail work camp and two years' probation. The probation can be reduced to one year if he completes the work camp.
Wilson was automatically suspended from the football team after he was charged with a felony last month in connection with a stolen scooter. After initially telling police a friend let him borrow the scooter, he later admitted to investigators that he stole the scooter in June but did not plan on keeping it as long as he did.

Kim Kardashian "Freaking Out" Over Pregnancy Weight Gain?
The tabloids are working hard this week to try to convince readers that Kim Kardashian is far too selfish to ever be a good mother.
Gossip Cop already slammed a Life & Style report alleging the reality star was "worried" her baby would be "bad for business," and now comes a tale from In Touch claiming a "vain" and "image-obsessed" Kardashian is "panicking about her pregnancy pounds."
In a story titled, "Kim Hates Her New Body," the mag says the reality mogul's "desperate attempts to disguise her baby bump have friends concerned." Oh, is that why she recently stepped out in a see-through blouse and posed in a bikini for DuJour magazine?
Regardless, a so-called "insider" tells the tab, "She isn't adapting to her new pregnancy figure. She's freaking out about her weight gain." "She seems more concerned with how she looks than she is with her baby," adds the alleged friend. Whoa. The magazine's purported "source" goes on to claim that Kardashian has "bumped up her workouts because she hates how she looks" and is refusing to slow down her busy schedule — potentially to the detriment of her baby's health.
OK, enough. Not only are these claims way below-the-belt, but they're also completely inaccurate. Asked about her pregnancy weight gain, Kardashian told Cosmopolitan she's fully prepared to pack on the pounds, saying, "I'll definitely be up there." And a source close to the Kardashian clan tells Gossip Cop the mag's story is "nasty" and "not true."

Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
After this company switched hands our service took a nosedive. Our old account was closed and a new account opened because of a past due balance. This happened without our knowledge or consent. This was discovered during the second call to the company about a service problem. We paid what we were told we owed two days later. At that time we were told we owned an additional amount. Two days later I called to pay that amount only to be told we didn't own anything. The person took my order to add services to the "new" account that would be up and running by that Friday. When the services didn't return by Saturday I called again. After being cut off twice I was finally told that the services would take at least three business days to be acitve. I am no computer geek but I KNOW computer changes on an account do not take three business days. By this time I was mad and asked to speak to a supervisor. The representative REFUSED to put me through to a supervisor and would only give me an address to write to. During the next call the issue was raised again about a old balance. I paid what I was told only to be told I would have to call back on Monday to have the services added. The only thing they did at that time was start a trouble ticket for the internet service.
I called Monday (today) to verify the payment and was told the long distance service would be active within thirty minutes. Of course that did not happen. The internet service did get fixed however. I called back again to be told the long distance service would take three to five days to be active. Then I was sent to a third party verification recording before being disconnected. This time when I called back I threatened to call the better business bureau and my local congressman in addition to contacting every internet consumer site I could find. Miraculously my most recent payment was applied to the old account (since some dummy applied it to the new account that had no balance due), credited the still pending amount (per their report), and pushed my long distance service into active status within one hour.
In the beginning I was told they did me a favor by providing me basic phone service. I went without long distance and internet service for 28 days. I spent two weeks, and over six hours of my time on the phone, being told a different story EVERY time. I do not call the frustration and stress I've been through this Christmas season a favor.

Meeks' Message From Capitol Hill
As I sat in the ornate chambers of the House of Representative Tuesday night listening to President Barack Obama address a joint session of Congress, I thought about the relevance of Martin Luther King's notion of "the fierce urgency of now." I was also reminded of how much has happened in the first two months of 2009.
President Obama had only been in office 36 days. The 111th Congress had only been in session for six weeks.
It was just over a month ago when two million Americans filled the National Mall to watch the inauguration of the first African American as president of the United States in an election that also increased the size of the Democratic majorities in the House and Senate.
In his first couple of days in office President Obama signed executive orders outlawing torture and closing the Guantanamo detention camp in Cuba. Within another 10 days two crucial pieces of legislation left over from the 110th Congress became law. One had been bottled up by Republican-engineered procedural delays that prevent a vote in the Senate. The other had been a prisoner of the previous president's veto pen.
The House and Senate passed the Lillie Ledbetter Fair Pay Act, which passed the House and Senate by sizeable margins, and reversed a highly questionable Supreme Court decision that drastically limited a woman's right to bring a discrimination suit against an employer who paid her less than her male counterparts for doing the same work. Congress also passed the State Children's Health Insurance Program with extensive bipartisan support.
SCHIP provides coverage for 11 million children whose parents work but whose income exceeds the limit that would make their families eligible for Medicaid.
A couple of weeks later, the president also signed the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA), a $787 billion economic stimulus bill designed to jump start our badly ailing economy, save or create 3.5 million jobs, begin the long-neglected task of rebuilding and modernizing the nation's infrastructure, aid states and cities hard hit by the recession, extend health, unemployment, and educational benefits, while also laying the foundation for long-term economic growth and global competitiveness.
Two days after that, the president announced a $75 billion plan to stem the mortgage foreclosure crisis. The Act is the result of strenuous legislative effort. Not one of the 178 Republicans in the House voted for the bill. Only three of 41 Republican senators voted for it.
Although New Yorkers are facing the grim prospect of draconian service cuts and layoffs of public employees, not one Republican member of Congress from New York voted for a bill that will bring almost
25 billion in aid to New York State and $5 billion to New York City.
Congressional Republicans denounced the bill as excessive. They said it would saddle our grandchildren with enormous debt. This, after the outgoing president with the support of most of them passed on a trillion dollar deficit to the current president. House and Senate Republicans also complained that the stimulus package was really "a spending bill." By definition, a stimulus bill is a spending bill. As President Obama said, "that's the whole point."
What the bill actually does is create or save 3.5 million jobs by investing over $65 billion on infrastructure; $16 billion on technology and science research; $87 billion over the next two years in matching funds to help states avoid slashing their Medicaid programs; $19 billion to computerize health records; $53.6 billion to prevent layoffs and cutbacks in education; more than $30 billion on alternative energy, clean energy technology, retrofitting public housing and other government facilities, including a program to improve energy efficiency by weatherizing one million homes. It provides 33 weeks of unemployment benefits and increases unemployment benefits for over 20 million laid off workers.
The legislation also increases food stamp benefits for more than 31 million Americans.
Among other accomplishments, the ARRA includes a payroll tax cut for 95 percent of working families and provides grants and tax credits to businesses that conserve energy and create green jobs. In addition, the college tax credit is increased to $2,500 and Pell Grants are raised to $5,550.
Is it a perfect bill? No. I've yet to see a perfect bill in my 11 years in Congress. This bill is a product of compromise and negotiation: between the Congress and the Administration; between the House and Senate; between Democrats and the three Republicans who supported it; between Democrats and Democrats. The final version took account of thinking Democratic and Republican governors and mayors, and even some of the ideas of Congressional Republicans who opposed the bill. The Act is the first of many steps that will have to taken to tame the recession and restore opportunity.
But, sitting there in the House chamber listening to an energetic, confident, innovative, and involved new president, hearing the hall reverberate with enthusiasm for tackling the tasks ahead, and knowing that an overwhelming majority of the American people support the initiatives of the Obama Administration and the 111th Congress and are optimistic and hopeful about the future, I have no doubt that "We Shall Overcome."

Shippers awaiting pact vote by union
Sat., Dec. 22, 2012, midnight
Workplace rules key in port dispute
PORTLAND – Members of the longshore union are voting on what Pacific Northwest grain shippers describe as their "last, best and final" contract offer. The proposal is expected to be rejected, setting the table for port disruptions that could slow the shipment of wheat, corn and soybeans to Asia.
Balloting began Friday and continues today at union dispatch halls in Portland and Seattle, Tacoma and Vancouver, Wash. The union will release the results by noon Monday.
"The vote is in the hands of nearly 3,000 men and women who have made these elevators successful by working in conditions that are not only strenuous, but also hazardous," said Jennifer Sargent, a spokeswoman for the International Longshore and Warehouse Union.
The union negotiating committee has recommended that members vote no on the proposal. The last contract expired Sept. 30.
More than a quarter of all U.S. grain exports and nearly half of U.S. wheat exports move through grain terminals on the Willamette River and Puget Sound. The dispute involves six of those terminals that operate under a single collective bargaining agreement with the ILWU: Japan-based Marubeni Corp. (Columbia Grain in Portland), Japan-based Mitsui & Co. (United Grain in Vancouver), Netherlands-based Louis Dreyfus Commodities (grain elevators in Seattle and Portland), and United States-based Cargill and CHS Inc. (Temco elevators in Tacoma and Portland).
Salary and benefits have not been the holdup during talks. Rather, the owners want to implement workplace rules they consider more advantageous.
The other Northwest grain terminals – based in the Washington cities of Longview and Kalama – operate under separate agreements with the ILWU. Representatives from the six terminals involved in this negotiation say they are at a competitive disadvantage because the longshoremen at their facilities have more favorable rules than those in Kalama and Longview.
The contract offer, as first reported by the Oregonian, would take away some perks and grievance procedures. Other concessions include letting employers go to court to end work stoppages immediately and allowing supervisors to perform work during health-and-safety disputes, or if the union hiring hall can't supply enough qualified grain handlers.

Russian immigrants to Israel / Courtesy of Alona Sibuk
Her story is well known. She came from a foreign land where she lived like a princess. Despite a very questionable connection to Judaism, she chose to follow her mother-in-law to Israel. There, she lived in abject poverty, getting by only by taking charity. Even when she found a kind stranger to help her, there were those who continued to doubt whether she belonged in Israel, and tried to prevent her from getting married.
Her name is Irina, Svetlana or Marissa, and you don't have to read the Book of Ruth — as Jews around the world will do this week for Shavuot — to know her story and feel for her, her family, and the literally hundreds of thousands of other Russians of Jewish descent who are living in limbo in Israel.
After nearly 2000 years in exile, the Jewish people have returned to our ancestral home. Along with this incredible blessing, halachic challenges have arisen, which did not exist when we lived in foreign lands. One fairly recent example involved the Jews of Ethiopia. For various reasons, there were halachic questions about their status as Jews and, even assuming they were Jews, whether they could marry people from outside of their community due to having the possible status of mamzer (commonly translated as "bastard" or "illegitimate"). The leading halachic decisors like Rav Ovadiah Yosef and Rav Moshe Feinstein, among others, ruled that there was an obligation to help them, and issued rulings which allowed them to be counted as Jewish, and not to be considered mamzerim.
The aliyah of a large part of the Russian community has brought with it a similar type of challenge. Many of these immigrants, who moved with the approval of the Israeli government, are not halachically Jewish. Many within the community have made sacrifices in moving to Israel, both in terms of personal comfort and social status. Their children serve in the army, consider themselves Jewish and are proud citizens of the State of Israel. While there are those who are ready to live fully religiously observant lives, many are not. They are, however, willing to convert.
The Chief Rabbinate, which is in charge of conversions, has not been willing to convert anyone who is not willing to go through an onerous yearlong course, with an emphasis on the minutiae of halacha. According to Rav Ben-Zion Meir Chai Uziel, the first Sephardic chief rabbi, a course of this sort is not required. After this, the potential convert must commit to full halachic observance. I use the word "commit" literally. The potential convert does not actually have to live that way. They just have to say that they will, and behave as if they will, convincingly enough. In many cases, the judges on the rabbinical courts know this, but still insist on this charade. For those who are committed to being honest and are not willing to be part of this charade, there is no other option.
Essentially, this process leaves hundreds of thousands of Russian immigrants in limbo, unable to get married, with no chance for a change in their status, unless they are willing to pretend to be something that they are not. The most honest of them are not, and this has led to a ten-fold increase in the intermarriage rate among Israelis since 1989.
It is my hope that the leading rabbis of our generation — at least Israel's two chief rabbis — will follow in the footsteps of Rav Moshe Feinstein and Rav Ovadiah Yosef, and, once again, demonstrate that our Torah is a Torah of kindness, "whose ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace."

Since we actually drop by Singapore for Jay Chou concert, we decided to drop by Universal Studio Singapore too. Note that to get hold of the Universal Studio Singapore ticket (esp weekend) is a bitch too! Went online to purchase – fail (sold out) and I ask my cousin in Singapore to drop by the counter (at least two weeks before) and only to be told that all Universal Studio tickets for weekends is fully sold until early August!
I panic for a while cos I thought that we are really going to drop by USS. I was pretty sad until I found an online travel agent that actually do have the tickets for that weekend. 🙂 The only thing is that you can't get the ticket alone. You need to top up to purchase the Hotel transfer, which I did and never regret. 😛 The hotel transfer provided is according to Hotel Zone (which means they have few buses to ferry passengers to Resorts World). And I'm glad we did cos the bus is new, spacious and most importantly on time! The only setback is that the last bus that departs Resorts World to the hotel is pretty early ( I think its 745pm) and we actually have limited time to explore the other parts of Resorts World Sentosa apart from Universal Studio.
See, the counter is not even open for the day! SOLD OUT!
Lucky we got our tickets! 🙂

"Bill Parcells will not come out of retirement to coach the Saints, according
to multiple reports.

Parcells had been in talks with Sean Payton, whose one-year suspension for
his role in the teams bounty program was upheld by commissioner Roger Goodell
on Monday.

Parcells and Payton are close from their time together with the Cowboys.
Parcells has not coached since 2006 and was most recently in the NFL with the
Dolphins organization in 2010.

According to ESPN, assistant head coach/linebackers Joe Vitt is the leading
candidate to be the interim head coach. The Saints begin their offseason program
on Monday.

Vitts six-game suspension was also upheld by Goodell, but it does not begin
until after the preseason. Paytons suspension begins Monday, April 16. If Vitt
takes over, other assistants would run the team when the season begins until
Vitt can return following the sixth game."

Pedro de la Rosa incurred a five-place grid penalty for the Singapore Grand Prix on Saturday for an unscheduled gearbox change.
Regulations state that the gearbox needs to be used for five consecutive events but the HRT driver failed to do so after his unit was changed ahead of the third and final practice session.
The Spaniard qualified 24th and last - behind teammate Narain Karthikeyan - with the penalty not serving any impact on his starting position.
"Although I already knew that I would be starting last because of the penalty, I tried to complete a quick lap, but it wasn't to be," de la Rosa said.

"12 Years a Slave" is the final nail in the coffin of "Gone With the Wind" and Hollywood's romanticized lyrical lying depiction of slavery in the antebellum Old South.
Based on the true memoir of Solomon Northup, "12 Years a Slave" tells it like it was, with all the welts, whippings, rapes and white-on-black madness that made American pre- Civil War plantation life a horror on par with the Holocaust.
It's 1841 and Northup (Chiwetel Ejiofor), an African-American, is enjoying a celebrated life as a free man and virtuoso violinist with his wife and two children in Saratoga, N.Y. Then, he accepts an offer he should have refused: a gig at a circus in Washington D.C. After an evening of eating and drinking with his white sponsors, he awakes to discover he's in shackles and about to begin his brutal new career as a beast of burden.
Sold on the block by an ice-cold auctioneer (Paul Giamatti), Northup (renamed, "Patti") moves from Master to Master, plantation to plantation, like so much cattle or commerce. His owners vary in degrees of cruelty, the pinnacle of sadistic pain perpetrated by Edwin Epps (Michael Fassbender). Epps has a special torment, in that he is in love with pretty slave Patsey (Lupita Nyong'o), who won't return his affection when raped. His wife, Mistress Epps (Sarah Paulson), is a deadly dark Scarlett O'Hara, a Southern Belle with no redeeming values, sustained by jealousy and hatred for poor Patsey.
While 1939's "Gone With the Wind" still reigns as Hollywood filmmaking at its height, "12 Years a Slave" pulls off the Technicolor scab to reveal the ugliness of the enforced servitude that allowed the myth of Southern Aristocracy to flourish.
Don't wait for "Gone With the Wind II."

Bulloch Academy's Middle School archery squad took top shooting honors back to Statesboro at the seventh and final Georgia National Archery in the Schools Program regional tournament Saturday.
Bulloch Academy's archery team shot a 3,051 to win the overall team title, beating out 11 other schools to qualify for the 8th annual Georgia-NASP State Tournament April 8 at the Georgia National Fairgrounds in Perry.
Peach County High School in Ft. Valley won the high school division with a team score of 2,996, while Sharon Elementary in Loganville captured the elementary division crown with a team score of 2,718. Both Peach County High and Sharon Elementary archery teams receive automatic bids to the state tournament for winning regional division titles.
Bulloch Academy's Charlie Fennell led the field with a 280 (out of 300) to win the overall highest scoring male archer title. Waverly Hall's Ashley Snipes shot a 270 to capture the overall highest scoring female award.
Other top individual shooters included: Bulloch Academy's Brandon Merrill (277, top middle school male); Calvary Christian School's Macy Kimball (269, top middle school female); Wynnbrook Christian's Olivia Morgan (267, top elementary school female); and Sharon Elementary's Davis Tyre (236, top elementary school male).
More than 225 students in elementary, middle and high school competed at Georgia-NASP Regional No. 7 at Peach County High. Other competing schools were Turner County Elementary, Marion County Middle, Hawkinsville High, Glascock County High and West Laurens High. Final tournament results are posted at www.nasptournaments.org.
Schools that did not win their division and an automatic berth to state at the regional tournament can still be selected as a high-scoring wildcard team after the final regional tournament is completed on March 1. Wildcard standings are posted at www.georgiawildlife.com/NASP along with regional, state and national tournament rules, regulations, and more.
More than 1,500 student archers registered to compete in the seven regional Georgia-NASP tournaments held Feb. 1-March 1. Nearly 900 have qualified to compete at the State Championship April 8 at the Georgia National Fairgrounds in Perry.\
The National Archery in the Schools Program is an in-school archery curriculum that meets all education department standards. Only schools that are certified in NASP through the Georgia Department of Natural Resources are qualified to compete in the Georgia Tournament. Schools in more than 100 counties in Georgia are NASP certified.
The program promotes instruction in international-style target archery to improve educational performance and participation in shooting sports. Research has shown that the program, administered through a minimum two-week course during the school year, improves class attendance and behavior. NASP universal fit bows make it possible for students of all sizes and genders to succeed in archery while raising self-esteem levels and improving hand-eye coordination during physical activity.
NASP is taught in 48 states as well as 10 countries. To date, more than 12 million students have gone through the program. For more information, visit www.georgiawildlife.com/NASP.

Eric Zuesse, originally posted at strategic-culture.org
The conditionality of the Soviet Union's agreement to allow East Germany to be taken by West Germany and for the Cold War to end, was that NATO would not expand "one inch to the east." This was the agreement that was approved by the Russian President of the Soviet Union, Mikhail Gorbachev, a great man and a subsequent hero to democrats around the world. He agreed then to end the Soviet Union and abandon communism and thus to end the entire Cold War; he agreed to this because he had been promised that NATO would expand not "one inch to the east," or "one inch eastward," depending upon how the promise was translated and understood — but it has the same meaning, no matter how it was translated. He trusted American President George Herbert Walker Bush, whose friend and Secretary of State James Baker made this promise to Gorbachev. With this promise, Gorbachev agreed to end the Soviet Union; end the communist mutual-defense pact which was their own equivalent of NATO, the Warsaw Pact; and he believed that the remaining nation that he would then be leading, which was Russia, would be accepted as being a Western democracy. He was even promised by the United States that "we were going to make them a member [of NATO], we were–observer first and then a member." In other words: the U.S. promised that NATO would not extend up to the borders of Russia and so become a mortal threat to the national security of the Russian people — now isolated and separated from its former military allies. Instead, Gorbachev was told, Russia would itself become welcomed into the Western Alliance, and ultimately become a NATO member. That was the deal, ending the 46-year Cold War.
Russia kept its part of the bargain. The United States did not; the U.S. instead lied through its teeth and so has since expanded NATO to absorb former member-nations of the Warsaw Pact into NATO as being, now, an anti-Russian military alliance — exactly what the U.S. had promised would never happen. U.S. President George Herbert Walker Bush in private told West German Chancellor Helmut Kohl (who had wanted to go along with what James Baker had arranged): "To hell with that! We prevailed, they didn't." He didn't want peace with Russia; he wanted to conquer it; he wanted to rub Russians' noses in their inferiority to Americans.
Russia's continued (and continuing) desire to join NATO has simply been spurned. This is war by NATO in intent; it is the exact opposite of what the U.S. had promised to Russia, on the basis of which the Warsaw Pact ended. How can the Russian people then trust such a country as the United States? They would need to be fools to do so.
But this deceit, this double-cross, isn't merely America's shame; it has also become the shame by the entirety of the nations that joined in that Western promise at the time. Because all of them accepted America's leadership in this double-crossing war against Russia, America's war to conquer Russia. They accept this merely by remaining as members of the now-nefarious military gang, which NATO has thus become. Worse yet, some of the other member-nations of NATO at the time were (like West Germany's Kohl, who was the model for his protégé Angela Merkel, who now continues the crime) themselves key participants in the making, and now breaking, of that promise to Russia.
Here is the evidence regarding this massive and ongoing historical international crime — the crime that's now the source of so much misery and even death in not only Russia but the rest of Europe, and of millions of refugees fleeing from Libya, Syria, Ukraine, and other former Russian-allied nations — the chaos that's being led by America:
"I was there when we told the Russians that we were going to make them a member, we were–observer first and then a member": Lawrence Wilkerson, 3 October 2014, on The Real News Network, at 18:54 in the interview.
"When I spoke with Baker, he agreed that he told Gorbachev that if the Soviet Union allowed German reunification and membership in NATO, the West would not expand NATO "one inch to the east": Bill Bradley, 22 August 2009, in Foreign Policy.
"Mr. Kohl chose to echo Mr. Baker, not Mr. Bush. The chancellor assured Mr. Gorbachev, as Mr. Baker had done, that 'naturally NATO could not expand its territory' into East Germany" … Crucially, the Gorbachev-Kohl meeting ended with a deal, as opposed to the Gorbachev-Baker session the previous day. … Mr. Kohl and his aides publicized this major concession immediately at a press conference. Then they returned home to begin merging the two Germanys under one currency and economic system: Mary Elise Sarotte, New York Times, 29 November 2009.
"According to records from Kohl's office, the chancellor chose to echo Baker, not Bush, since Baker's softer line was more likely to produce the results that Kohl wanted: permission from Moscow to start reunifying Germany. Kohl thus assured Gorbachev that 'naturally NATO could not expand its territory to the current territory of [East Germany].' In parallel talks, Genscher delivered the same message to his Soviet counterpart, Eduard Shevardnadze, saying, 'for us, it stands firm: NATO will not expand itself to the East.' … But Kohl's phrasing would quickly become heresy among the key Western decision-makers. Once Baker got back to Washington, in mid-February 1990, he fell in line with the National Security Council's view and adopted its position. From then on, members of Bush's foreign policy team exercised strict message discipline, making no further remarks about NATO holding at the 1989 line. Kohl, too, brought his rhetoric in line with Bush's, as both U.S. and West German transcripts from the two leaders' February 24–25 summit at Camp David show. Bush made his feelings about compromising with Moscow clear to Kohl: 'To hell with that!' he said. 'We prevailed, they didn't.' … In April, Bush spelled out this thinking in a confidential telegram to French President François Mitterrand. … Bush was making it clear to Mitterrand that the dominant security organization in a post–Cold War Europe had to remain NATO — not any kind of pan-European alliance. As it happened, the next month, Gorbachev proposed just such a pan-European arrangement, one in which a united Germany would join both NATO and the Warsaw Pact, thus creating one massive security institution. Gorbachev even raised the idea of having the Soviet Union join NATO. 'You say that NATO is not directed against us, that it is simply a security structure that is adapting to new realities,' Gorbachev told Baker in May, according to Soviet records. 'Therefore, we propose to join NATO.' Baker refused to consider such a notion, replying dismissively, Pan-European security is a dream.' … By the time of the Camp David summit, … all members of Bush's team, along with Kohl, had united behind an offer in which Gorbachev would receive financial assistance from West Germany — and little else — in exchange for allowing Germany to reunify and for allowing a united Germany to be part of NATO": Mary Elise Sarotte, Foreign Affairs, October 2014.
"A failure to appreciate how the Cold War ended has had a profound impact on Russian and Western attitudes — and helps explain what we are seeing now. The common assumption that the West forced the collapse of the Soviet Union and thus won the Cold War is wrong. The fact is that the Cold War ended by negotiation to the advantage of both sides. At the December 1989 Malta summit, Mikhail Gorbachev and President George H.W. Bush confirmed that the ideological basis for the war was gone, stating that the two nations no longer regarded each other as enemies. Over the next two years, we worked more closely with the Soviets than with even some of our allies. … 'By the grace of God, America won the Cold War,' Bush said during his 1992 State of the Union address. That rhetoric would not have been particularly damaging on its own. But it was reinforced by actions taken under the next three presidents. President Bill Clinton supported NATO's bombing of Serbia without U.N. Security Council approval and the expansion of NATO to include former Warsaw Pact countries. Those moves seemed to violate the understanding that the United States would not take advantage of the Soviet retreat from Eastern Europe. The effect on Russians' trust in the United States was devastating": Jack Matlock, Washington Post, 14 March 2014.
"Sir Rodric Braithwaite GCMG, former British Ambassador to the Soviet Union and Russia, informed us that assurances were given in 1990 by the US (James Baker, US Secretary of State) and Germany (Helmut Kohl, German Chancellor), and in 1991 on behalf of the UK (by the then Prime Minister, John Major, and the British Foreign Secretary, Douglas Hurd) and France (by French President Francois Mitterrand). Sir Rodric Braithwaite said that this 'factual record has not been successfully challenged in the West'": The EU and Russia: before and beyond the crisis in Ukraine, 20 February 2015, British House of Lords, paragraph 107.
Gorbachev's failure to demand these assurances in writing has been widely criticized, but handshake agreements in international affairs are common, and no treaty was to be signed at the end of the Cold War because it hadn't been a hot war: there were no claims, no restitution or reparations to be paid by either side to the other. Gorbachev thought that the U.S. was honest and could be trusted — that understandings reached in private and witnessed by numerous participants would be honored by the West, as they would be by Russia.
Sadly, he was trusting mega-crooks who were led by a super-gangster, G.H.W. Bush, and the entire world is suffering from those crooks today, and every day. Instead of the West apologizing, and stopping, it insults Russia constantly. It's digging in deeper, into G.H.W. Bush's original sin, the West's mega-crime, which produces increasing global chaos and bloodshed, in Libya, Syria, Ukraine, and elsewhere, and now a resulting refugee crisis throughout Europe.
For example, Defense News, the trade journal for U.S. military contractors, headlined on 4 September 2015, "Ukraine's New Military Doctrine Identifies Russia As Aggressor, Eyes Naval Acquisitions," and reported that:
Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk [whom Victoria Nuland of the U.S. State Department had appointed on 4 February 2014, 18 days before the coup] said that the country's new draft military doctrine is the first in Ukraine's history to clearly identify Russia as an enemy and an aggressor. The announcement was made Sept. 1 during the prime minister's visit to Odessa. … Yatsenyuk said that … the Ukrainian President "will sign the corresponding decree." … Vice Admiral James Foggo, commander of the US 6th Fleet, and US Ambassador to Ukraine Geoffrey R. Pyatt [who took instructions from Nuland and ran the coup for her] took part in the ceremony. … "We feel as one force with our partners, NATO [member] states, with our American partners. Therefore, the American ships have entered and will [defeat the Russians in Crimea and expell from the naval base there the Russian navy which has been headquartered there since 1783, and so] enter the Ukrainian territorial waters in the future. We will continue our joint exercise," Yatsenyuk said.
It's a criminal gang. Worse: it's a self-righteous criminal gang, which accuses its victims.
James Baker, at the start of 1990, tells Gorbachev that NATO will move "not one inch to the east." Mitterrand & Kohl second that.
Then, in secret: 24 February 1990, GHW Bush tells Baker and Mitterrand and Kohl, "To hell with that. We prevailed, they didn't"
Then, Gorbachev, from whom that statement by Bush was hidden, proposes that Russia become admitted into NATO.
Address by Secretary General, Manfred Wörner to the Bremer Tabaks Collegium, Brussels, 17 May 1990, which includes this:
Our strategy and our Alliance are exclusively defensive. They threaten no-one, neither today nor tomorrow. We will never be the first to use our weapons. We are prepared for radical disarmament, right down to the minimum level that we must retain to guarantee our security.
This will also be true of a united Germany in NATO. The very fact that we are ready not to deploy NATO troops beyond the territory of the Federal Republic gives the Soviet Union firm security guarantees. Moreover we could conceive of a transitional period during which a reduced number of Soviet forces could remain stationed in the present-day GDR. This will meet Soviet concerns about not changing the overall East-West strategic balance. Soviet politicians are wrong to claim that German membership of NATO will lead to instability. The opposite is true. Europe including the Soviet Union would gain stability. It would also gain a genuine partner in the West ready to cooperate.
We have left behind us the old friend/foe mind-set and the confrontational outlook. We do not need enemies nor threat perceptions. We do not look upon the Soviet Union as the enemy. We want that nation to become our partner in ensuring security. On the other hand, we expect the Soviet Union not to see us as a military pact directed against it or even threatening it. Instead we wish the Soviet Union to see our Alliance as an open and cooperative instrument of stability in an over-arching European security system. We are not proposing something to the Soviet Union which is against its interests. What we have to offer can only be to its advantage. I am confident that this insight will gradually gain ground in Moscow, especially as the other Warsaw Pact countries see things the same way as we do.
The promise to Gorbachev continued, and was presented there in public, even after Bush had already privately told his agents that it would be a lie. The lie continued, until Gorbachev had acted upon its assurances to such an extent that the break-up of the USSR and end of the Warsaw Pact were irreversible.
And that is how we got to where we are today.

Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
I was contacted approximately 7-8 months ago by ICM Marketing Group with a strong and aggressive pitch of how they promised to sell my timeshare with no problem. (Lies; all lies)
They stated that no other company could compare to their sales and aggressively made several calls; pretending to transfer me to different departments to win my business of selling my Westgate Palace timeshare.
The manager (supposedly) got on the phone and told me that $984 was the fee but I could pay $392 upfront and they would collect the rest upon sale. They said they had "MANY" people looking for the property.
After two days and receiving calls promising that this would result in a contract sale, I reluctantly provided my credit card number "AFTER" the manager stated that they have "NEVER" had a timeshare in their inventory beyond 7 months. (Liar....liar)
Well, needless to say- Its been approximately 8 months now and they have NEVER contacted me since they received my money! I was promised a refund if it didn't sell in 6 months and I have NEVER received that either! I've placed call after call; NO RESPONSE!
This company has stolen my money and not made good on ANY of the promises that they made BEFORE collecting my money!
Please stay clear of this scam! They will NOT sell your timeshare/property and will only scam you out of your money. They have NEVER returned my call or refunded my money! I am going to BBB to file a complaint as well.
ICM Marketing is a SCAM & RIP OFF!

I felt compelled to updating the information because I was livid about how I thought I was treated. However, I needed to let "everyone" know I was WRONG and MISTAKEN about their business operations.
I received a call from their manager on last week who read this online and immediately called me to find out what happened. After explaining the situation, he apologized to me and told me the employee that I had previously spoken to was let go and no longer an employee with his company because he prides his company on values and ethics. Wow.... I was impressed. Then he went on to apologize for any misunderstandings that we must have had; he had records showing they have tried to call me back to resolve my concerns but have been unsuccessful at getting a hold of me. He showed me proof that they had been advertising and receiving inquiries on my property; but with the economy, there were honestly NO serious inquiries close to my price listed.
Although its been well over 6 months, he personally answered all of my concerns and resolved my issues in the MOST professional and efficient manner possible. Although his policy is "not" to refund; he even offered to do what was necessary to show his genuine concern and care for my trouble and service.
I know now that this company is "NOT" a scam and I was completely wrong about my allegations. The manager took the time to "personally" resolve my issues/concerns and I couldn't ask for anything more. Although my property did not sell, I truly understand that every possible effort was made to do so "BUT" my pricing, the economy and timeline were all key factors in my particular situation. I now understand that companies will not be able to "personally" call each and every client to update them on their status after they go to work on your behalf. I understand that ICM Marketing has millions of contracts that they support.
I really would like to enclose my deepest apologies to ICM Marketing Group and would recommend their services to anyone. I say this because its not many companies that would have taken the time and effort to "PERSONALLY" resolve issues with their clients. I admit that I was upset and livid because I felt I was getting the run around. All along, the manager personally had been calling a number to contact me but I didn't get the message.
I only pray that the staff, managers and clients of ICM Marketing Group accepts my deepest apologies for the negative post that I prematurely made without allowing them to contact me with the information that I needed.
In conclusion I say that they have made good on the most important promise they made me, which was, "OUR CLIENTS ARE OUR FIRST PRIORITY"..... and I have found that to be true.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?
