Who We Are
Yorkies Inc. is a private nonprofit organization dedicated to the well being of the Yorkshire Terrier. We are a very small group of Yorkie friends that have previously belonged to other national yorkie rescue groups. We felt there was a need to bring things down to scale and focus on the pups themselves. In October 2004 we joined efforts to form Yorkies Inc., a new type of organization dedicated to help Yorkies in need of re-homing for whatever the reason. Because we are small we offer a dedication and bonding to the dogs that is often lacking in other national groups. We can also work very closely with the surrendering families to insure piece of mind to them, while also offering safe and caring foster homes knowledgeable of the breed. We take great pride in providing the very best veterinary care and finding the very best forever homes for the dogs entrusted to us. It is because of this passion for the breed that we are very selective on the homes in which we will place our Yorkies. All our pups are completely vetted and are spayed or neutered before placement. Yorkies Inc. is located in Massachusetts and serves the New England States. We will accept out of the area applications but please be aware we will give preferential treatment to those local.
Adopting a friend
If you are interested in adopting one of our Yorkies please visit our site at www.yorkiesinc.com and READ our "adoption policies and procedures" in full FIRST! Then if still interested fill out our adoption application. Please be as thorough and detailed as possible and answer honestly. Also, expect us to do all personal reference checks, vet checks and in-home inspections before any of our pups are placed in a new home. 1. We cover the New England area: MA, CT, RI, ME, NH, VT. 2. We DO NOT SHIP our pups. 3. We are NOT a SHELTER to visit. All pups are fostered in private homes. 4.You MUST be over 24 years of age to apply. 5. Special consideration is given to those who are Yorkie, small dog or terrier experienced. 6. We prefer fenced in yards. 7. We very rarely place Yorkies in homes with children under 10 years old and never pups under 6lbs. Our foremost concern is for the safety of the pup, but also for your child's safety as well. Please note: we are a very small all volunteer group with other full time jobs and get many many applications for each dog we have available. It may take us so time to process your application or answer your email. Thank you for your understanding.

Most I&O professionals travel far less than the road warriors they serve, which means they could be missing an important personal connection with new forms of client computing. After years of lugging boat anchor-class laptops around and a broken shoulder from a skiing accident, I gave in last month and bought a new MacBook Air (yup, 13", i7, 4GB, 256GB SSD), and then spent the next month's worth of weekends getting it to work for my job. Here's why I did it, and why people in your firm are doing it too:
"Veev been vaiting for you," the Frau at the front of the 747 hissed as I stepped through the door with a sweat stain on my shirt roughly the shape of Alaska. Those of you who fly frequently on Star Alliance carriers may have noticed that Lufthansa is the only one that doesn't seem to care who you think you are on any other airline. I could be George Clooney (see "Up in the Air") with 10 million miles and a gold card from the chief pilot, and I'd still have to sit in a center seat -- 54F -- in the last row. No matter, it's where I always get to meet fun people like Ginny -- the wisecracking 101 year old grandmother from Wyoming, and Jim -- the head of desktop infrastructure for a large retail chain, who later became a customer.

One in three boards reported direct contact with more than 20 percent of shareholders in 2012, Deloitte study shows
Corporate board members are increasingly engaging directly with shareholders, holding longer and more frequent meetings and reviewing more closely companies' policies on succession of the chief executive, according to a study of the US market by Deloitte.
Fifty-three percent of public companies report some form of direct contact between their boards and their shareholders in 2012, an increase from 49 percent in 2011, according to Deloitte's 2012 Board Practices Report. Thirty-three percent of all corporate boards met with more than 20 percent of their company's shareholders in 2012, while another 30 percent report direct contact with between 1 percent and 5 percent of shareholders.
'The report shows board members are really working on enhancing their interactions with each other and with shareholders, which goes along with wider trends related to facility of communication,' says Maureen Errity, director of the Deloitte Center for Corporate Governance, in a statement. 'There's no longer the sense that boards operate behind closed doors.'
The Deloitte study also shows that 53 percent of all public companies had a policy governing contact between directors and shareholders last year, an increase from 51 percent in 2011. Fifty-four percent of large and medium companies had such a policy, as did 51 percent of small companies.
At the same time, the number of companies that require directors to attend annual shareholders meetings dropped to 54 percent in 2012 from 74 percent in 2011, according to the study, which measures 15 corporate board policies based on responses from almost 200 corporate secretaries. The drop is most significant among large-cap companies, where the rate fell to 38 percent in 2012 from 69 percent in 2011.
The report also finds that only 2 percent of all public companies held a so-called 'fifth analyst' call with investors to discuss issues related to corporate governance. Another 5 percent of companies say they considered holding one, while 73 percent didn't hold one or consider it and 20 percent say they have never heard of the term.
Asked whether their organization uploads their CSR or sustainability report to the corporate web site, 54 percent of all companies say they do, 23 percent say they do not, and the rest say they don't know or that the question is not applicable. Thirty-nine percent of companies say they have adopted at least one new sustainability initiative in the past year, while 38 percent say they have not.

Arsène Wenger wants his players to hunt for goals in the Nou Camp tonight.
Arsenal need a high-scoring draw or a win to progress to the Semi-Finals of the Champions League after a 2-2 draw with Barcelona at Emirates Stadium last week. To put it mildly that will not be easy against a side that dominated much of the first leg with their quick, slick passing.
One school of thought suggests Arsenal need to keep it tight and deny Barcelona space in the opening stages of the second leg and then try and nick a goal after the break. But Wenger is urging his team to look for opportunities from the first whistle.
"The approach to the game for us is very simple," he said. "We know that we have to score goals and I think the first game was an exciting game and the second one promises to be even more.
"If it is 0-0 after 70 minutes and we can score then, we like that but personally I would like us to score at the start of the game. We will try to score at any moment. We know we have to take advantage of any moment of weakness of Barcelona whether at the start or the end of the game.
"The only thing I know is that we are a team who never gives up - we have shown that the whole year. We have exceptional mental strength and that's what makes me very confident about tomorrow's game."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

Lets Talk Motor Mounts
I have not seen a discussion on this recently.
I dont give my motor mounts much thought really. Should I?
2005, 30k miles. Its not the mileage, its time passage that make me think.
How many people are on their OEM set still?
What is your opinion on solids? HPF Solids? What about delrin or poly mounts?
Please include noise, vibration and comfort in your explanations.
The stock mounts with 14k miles were not worn, however, did flex sufficiently, to the point where the new intake, and down pipe may have been compromised whilst under driving conditions.
I have yet to experience their feel/sound quality, and will report back with findings.
For a forced induction car I would definitely recommend a poly mount at least. If the car is making considerable amounts of power then a solid mount would be an option to look in to as long as you aren't too concerned with increased NVH.
I know a good visual clue to bad mounts can be seen on non m engine mounts as they will create a hole in the hood insulation right above the power-steering reservoir cap. I changed mine out in the blown 330ci at 120k
On my current m3, @ 40k miles, last time I chcked it looked good will be looking for one at around 60k with new spark, and general maintenance
I run the BimmerWorld Performance/Track Engine Mounts in both my race car & street 330Ci. They fit & work great, I perceive NO new noise or vibration (but you may) with these stiffer mounts. Forum sponsor BW makes a great product, I'd recommend these to anyone looking for an upgraded motor mount.
Good luck,
I had the Bimmerworld solid motormounts and they were a bit to loud at normal idle creating some vibrations that I didn't like. I could have raise my idle RPM but instead I reverted back to the OEM M3 motor mounts.
They are not solid.
I have some time to think before i must decide. I would still like to hear some different mounts being used out there to help me to decide which ones I will eventually buy. I really an hesitant to buy purely solid mounts. I think there must be plenty strong mounts made in delrin or poly. Perhaps the Bimmerworld mounts. I would love to hear more. My goal is maximum strength with minimum deflection, noise and vibration. ie the best compromise.
Figure on a 800+rwhp car.
Thanks to everyone who posted so far. Good info.
I am kind of thinking something by AGK. They seem to be the "go to"company right now for mounts in a wide variety of hardness levels.
My tranny mounts are new UUC blacks with limiting cups BTW.
Transmission Mount Enforcer cup...cool concept, but do they work?
anything UUC Sucks.....so you might want to change them now before they rip apart, i ripped both my tranny mounts and 1 engine mount apart from UUC, everything ive ever had from them is trash.
Anyways, I went back oem for engine mounts til I figured out what to do, so whats a good poly engine mount that wont rip apart.
Dont buy polyurethane mounts. They are terrible under high stress and will deform/wear/break easily due to temp increase. I think they are only good till about 160 degrees or so before they begin to wear/fatigue. If its a high performance or tracked/raced car then forget poly urethane. PPL sell it cuz its cheap
I have the HPF solid motor and tray mounts. You don't realize how much vibration rubber mounts absorb until you go solid. I really disliked them at first, but I think i'll get used to them. Cruising on the freeway is fine, but lower gears seem to be a bit more harsh.
Subscribed for more info.
Sent from my DROIDX using Bimmer App
I dont want a pure track car. I have already made so many concessions/compromises in mounts and vibration. My solid diff mounts ought to be something to listen to. Would you like some cheese and crackers with that whine?
Bimmerworld mounts do say something about poly motor mounts being bad around heat. So poly mounts are out I guess.
Right now, I am thinking a rosy new set of OEM's or Bimmerworld mounts.
I just have a hard time reasoning going all out to a solid motor mount with out trying some other alternatives FIRST.
Switch conversation to transmission mounts:
I cant in good faith pull a component because someone, one time had a problem with them. Not that I dont believe you. But I am going to let the UUC tranny mounts ride until proven guilty. AFAIK, it consists of OEM type bushing in a limiting cup. I will just have to keep an eye on them.
This is them. I like the concept. I will honestly report any failures with out embarrassment. My luck with components not failing is better thasn most, so I dont hesitate to take leaps of faith on gut feelings. This approach has served me well over the years. We'll see.
I may end up with solid motor mounts and hard poly tranny mounts yet. Just not right away.
How many HPF owners just stick with OEM mounts? I doubt every single person changes them out.
And in what way are stock mounts crappy?
oh well.. good luck :thumbsup:

Starting next month, homeowners in the Grand Chenier area will see cheaper fire insurance premiums because of the fire district's improved protection rating.
The fire protection grading for Fire District 9 in Cameron Parish has improved from a Class 6 to a Class 5. Mark LeBouef, district fire chief, said Wednesday that the improved rating was largely the result of firefighters quickly responding to fires, most of which are grass fires.
"We are keeping up with records and calls," LeBouef said. "Some years we may have about three fires, or we may have 20-25. It depends on what Mother Nature gives us."
LeBouef said about 630 people live in the fire district. He said the district is the largest in the parish, in terms of land.
"We don't have many house fires because there is a lot of new construction after the hurricanes," he said. "We may have one or two a year. Plus, the houses are not close together."
The Property Insurance Association of Louisiana sets the ratings for fire districts, and the state insurance commissioner approves them. Ratings are given on a scale of one to 10, with 10 being the worst and one being the best.
According to the Insurance Department, the improved rating means a resident who lives in a home valued at $150,000 will see his or her annual insurance premium drop from $3,209 to $3,014, a savings of about $200.
LeBouef said the district has about 35 volunteer firefighters, including some from Fire District 7, in the Creole area. "We're helping each other; that's the only way you can do it," he said.
He said new drivers must have 40 hours of driving an emergency vehicle, and that regular firefighters must maintain 12 hours of driving an emergency vehicle annually.

Posted 01 January 2014 - 11:31 PM
You could wrap it around one of those square drive screws which could be loosened 1st than retighten the screw down on wire.
I have never seen a three wire thermo wire.
Posted 02 January 2014 - 12:17 AM
Examine the controller end of the cable. If the third wire is connected at the controller end, you do not need to do anything at the thermocouple end. If it is not connected at the controller, as the previous reply noted, put a wrap under the head of one of the cable clamp screws. If this is difficult, I would not worry about connecting it.
This wire is what is referred to as a drain wire. It provides easy to terminate contact to the foil shield of the cable. This in turn is intended to reduce electrical noise coming into the thermocouple circuit. Usual practice is to terminate cable shields to ground at one end of the cable only.
Why one end only? What we want the shield to do, is to be at the ground potential of one end or the other of the circuit. The idea is for external signals incident against the shield, to dissipate mostly into ground, and not make their way into the wires inside the shield. Operation of the main power relays to the kiln elements as part of thermostatic control cycling, can be expected to generate significant electrical noise, especially due to sparking at the relay contacts.
It seems tempting to ground both ends of the shield. The problem here comes when "ground" (whatever you tie the shield drain wire to) is not at the same potential at both ends. This can result in currents flowing through the shield (a so-called ground loop), which can either negate the effectiveness of the shield, or cause a hazard.

Thank you all for the very instructional and useful answers.
Mark C. it took me a few minutes to figure out you meant the Robertson head screws;-) I remember now that you don't have them south of the border - too bad as they are the best!

The Japanese Government recently implemented regulations whereby employers with fifty or more staff must have those with disabilities represent at least 2% of the total.
"It's positive to see from our survey that 67%, or two thirds, of businesses already employ those with disabilities and are working towards a fully diverse workforce and staffing strategy," says Christine Wright, Hays Operations Director, Asia.
79% of the businesses surveyed by Hays came under the criteria for the Government regulation, while 11 % said they are yet to increase the recruitment of candidates with disabilities. This confirms that the majority of businesses are aware of the new regulation and have been implementing the appropriate changes.
"Recognising and valuing the varied skills, knowledge, backgrounds and perspectives that people bring to their work is really what workplace diversity is about," says Christine. "Rather than merely accepting people from different target groups, diversity means managing and integrating their varied lifestyles, beliefs and needs to your business."
The survey also showed that 79% of businesses employed up to thirty staff with disabilities, with 70% of these candidates in administrative roles. Meanwhile, 23% of employers said employees with disabilities hold positions such as Drivers, Janitors, inventory/storage, Developers, Engineers, Planners and Sales staff.
"This is often an overlooked candidate pool, which has great potential to fill important roles within businesses. Having people with a disability in the recruitment pool offers more choice, making it easier to get the right person for the job," says Christine.
"Employers that limit diversity parameters effectively limit their ability to fill roles, in a skills-short market. And a fully diverse workforce sends a strong message to employees and candidates that the organisation is accepting of all, and therefore an employer of choice."
In some cases, hiring candidates with disabilities requires changes within businesses. For example, only 30% of the employers surveyed said they could provide wheelchair accessibility.
Hays has this advice for recruiting and working with candidates with disabilities:
- Employers need to look at how a candidate can contribute to their business and what skills they possess, rather than the challenges they might face.
- Interviewing job candidates under any circumstances requires skill and understanding. So, in interviewing candidates with disabilities, some training in disability awareness may be helpful and could reduce the risk of discriminatory attitudes affecting decisions in job interviews.
- It is important to ensure that standard induction procedures are accessible to a person with a disability. Managers, supervisors and work colleagues need to be suitably briefed so that they understand the nature of the adjustments needed. However, they do not always need to know the details of the disability.
- As with any new employee, it can be helpful to assign another member of staff to support them, at least in the early days
- Do not make assumptions about a person's ability to participate in training, staff activities or team meetings. Always check with the person and discuss if they need adjustments to participate.
Hays surveyed more than two hundred hiring managers to find out how the market was reacting to the workplace changes.
This survey on Disability in the Workplace is the second conducted by Hays in its Diversity in the Workplace Thought Leadership Series – the first survey focused on Women in the Workplace. Please click here to see those results.

From the sewers of Paris to physiological messenger
Roger P. Smith
Investigations on the biological effects of hydrogen sulfide began around the turn of the 20th century. François Chaussier, François Magendie, Claude Bernard and Felix Hoppe-Seyler were among the well-known scientists of the day who labored in that vineyard.
In experiments with dogs, marked differences in the effects of hydrogen sulfide were noted with only small changes in its concentration in the air they were breathing. Fifty ppm, which was considered a minimally lethal concentration at the time, resulted in a slight progressive depression in the rate and depth of respirations. After many hours of exposure, the dogs died from a type of pulmonary edema, acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). When that concentration was doubled to 100 ppm, death resulted in 15 to 20 minutes. In these cases the respiration was stimulated almost immediately, this progressed to a pronounced hyperpnea (deep breathing), and death in apnea followed. At 300 ppm, respiratory arrest occurred after a few violent gasps. The same effects on respiration, with the exception of ARDS, were known to occur with injected or inhaled hydrogen cyanide. Mice may be more resistant to the effects of hydrogen sulfide. In a 1964 experiment, they survived for 10 minutes in an atmosphere of 1,872 ppm and for 20 minutes at 985 ppm.
A more complete explanation of the respiratory stimulant effects of hydrogen cyanide and hydrogen sulfide had to await the discovery of the chemoreceptor function of the carotid body (shown at right), and the reflex effects that follow the activation of those receptors. The respiratory stimulant effects of cyanide and sulfide could be completely abolished by severing the sinus nerve and thus denervating the carotid sinus. In that case, larger doses of either chemical resulted only in respiratory depression, which was presumably mediated via the brainstem. Similarly, injections of sulfide or cyanide into the internal carotid or vertebral arteries also failed to stimulate respiration, since in those cases the chemicals reached the carotid sinus only after dilution in the general circulation. When innervation of the sinus was intact, the hyperpnea was accompanied by a fleeting rise in systemic blood pressure, and sometimes by a slowed heart rate (bradycardia). The cardiovascular effects varied with the injection site and the species and are still not adequately explained.

Neill urging team to hit back
The rugby national team will be all out to put behind them the upset to Croatia last week with a strong showing in their second FIRA/AER Nations Cup qualifier against Lithuania at the Hibs Stadium today (kick-off: 2.30 p.m.).
On Saturday, Damien Neill's men were left to lick their wounds from a heart-breaking 20-19 defeat in Makarska.
The Maltese team not only lost a match which they had dominated for long stretches but in the pro-cess they may also have some key personnel missing ahead of today's clash against the Lithuanians, currently ranked 35th in the IRB world list.
James O'Brien was the major casualty from the match in Makarska as the Waterloo winger, so decisive for the national team with his precise kicking and efficient play, is struggling with a bruised knee.
He faces a race against time to prove his fitness for the match.
If O'Brien fails to recover in time it would be a tough blow for the national team considering he masterminded Lithuania's down-fall in the last of the four meetings between the two countries when he scored all Malta's points in a thrilling 14-10 comeback win at the Hibs Stadium in November last year.
Apart from O'Brien, Clayton Cassar and Daniel Holliday have also picked up injuries. They are also major doubts and could skip this match.
Despite the selection problems he has to deal with Neill still thinks he has seen enough in Croatia to feel confident his players will have the better of Lithuania today.
"Our match against Croatia was very good," Neill told The Times.
"That was a cruel result and defeat was totally undeserved as we dominated the match for long stretches. However, we failed to profit from the opportunities we created and Croatia punished us.
"I think our players need to believe more in their abilities.
"The quality of rugby we played in Croatia showed that we can be a very tough team to beat in this group. So, I hope that we can show all that against Lithuania."
The national team are on a roll lately at home, boasting three wins in a row at the ground in Corradino. O'Neill is again urging the local fans to back the team with their colourful support.
"The fans will be our 16th player against Lithuania," Neill said.
"Their support has always been appreciated by the team.
"It gives the players an extra lift. That's why we do so well at home."
Malta's next match in the group after today will be at home to Switzerland on April 6, 2013.
The Swiss get their campaign going in Nyon this afternoon against Croatia. The other team in the group are The Netherlands.

Let's start with an oversimplified definition.
Basis = Future – Spot
Cobasis = Spot – Future
What we are trying to see is a measure of scarcity. If the price in the spot market is higher than in the futures market (e.g. grain, one week before the harvest) then the good is scarce. If the price in the futures market is higher, then anyone can "carry" the good at a profit. To "carry" means to simultaneously buy the physical good and sell a futures contract against it. A positive basis means this is profitable.
A positive cobasis means that it is profitable to "decarry": to simultaneously sell the good in the physical market and buy a futures contract. Both carry and decarry result in the same position at the end of the day plus the profit from the spread.
To be precise, we must define these terms in a more complex way. Of course, to buy something one must pay the "ask" or "offer". To sell, one must accept the bid. With that in mind, here are the correct definitions:
Basis = Future(bid) – Spot(ask)
Cobasis = Spot(bid) – Future(ask)
Note that both can be negative (which often occurs as a contract is heading into expiry and there is no liquidity, hence the bid is very low and the ask is very high). At most one of them can be positive. It can be profitable to carry a good, or to decarry it. But it makes no sense for it to be possible to carry profitably and decarry profitably!
There is a lot more to the theory of why these spreads are important and what they mean. You are likely reading this page right now because you hit a link from an article which discusses some aspect of it.

Lets type unit tests
Maybe this is plain stupidity, but hey it's different from the usual path.
If you have full control of the type system, what can we do?
Well type is a flow of information so basically here you have the possibility to do meta tracking.
But lets consider another idea. Assume that we make an abstract class, with no implementation.
(class stack A Abstract (clear )->NIL (push A)->NIL (pop )-> A)
This follow sort of the standard specification used in Java C++ C# etc.
Now consider another "concrete" class
(class mycl A Impl (clear )->NIL (push A)->NIL (pop )-> A))
Then typically you subclass mycl from stack and you go. The idea now is that in order to be able to subclass mycl from the abstract class you would have to pass a unit test e.g.
(class mycl) => (class stack) if (stack-unit-test mycl)Customizing the type theory adding these tests with cashing would be .... different.
As a side note, this is how I view object orientation abstractly. You have a set of code snippets in the form of different function implementations and object orientations just put names on subsets and makes arrows between the snippets, now the process of making subclasses is just rules that makes arrows and rules how to select which code to evaluate or the context to evaluate a function when using one or several name references.

I'm still on vacation — did anything of note happen over the weekend?
Oh, I see: "probably the biggest thing to become law in 50 years." Well, so long as no one is engaging in hyperbole.
I have nothing to say about the content of the health care bill, but I do wonder whether there will be any positive or negative foreign policy externalities. FP's Joshua Keating provided one humorous example of how the passage of the bill can reframe the Obama narrative on foreign policy in a positive way.
On the other hand, Shadow Government's Dan Blumenthal correctly points out the ways in which Obama neglected foreign policy during the run-up to the bill's passage. This is not surprising — presidents turn their fortunes around through domestic accomplishments and revived economic growth, not foreign policy achievements — but it's a reality that Obama needs to confront going forward.
The one thing health care passage might do for Obama is add a dollop of respect for Obama's political acumen among other world leaders. Obama just got the #1 Democratic policy concern written into law after a year of long, drawn-out negotiations, and that's not nothing. Allied leaders might be more willing to give the Obama administration the benefit of the doubt when dealing with long, drawn-out international negotiations.
What do you think?

The report by the Joseph Rowntree Foundation shows that nearly 90,000 young people are now out of work in the country – the only age group to have suffered from rising unemployment over the past two years.
Research also showed that a boy born in one of the 10 per cent most deprived areas in Scotland can expect to live eight years less than the national average, and 14 years less than their counterparts from the least deprived areas. For girls, the gap narrowed to four years below the national average, and eight less than girls in the least deprived locations.
Monitoring Poverty and Social Exclusion in Scotland 2013 did find that there was an overall fall in Scotland's child poverty rate in the decade to 2010/2011, from 31 per cent to 21 per cent after housing costs, meaning poverty is now lower than in England and Wales.
In the same decade, the number of working-age adults with dependent children living in poverty fell, but the number without dependent children rose.
"The findings in today's report reveal Scotland has a long road to travel if we are to really tackle poverty and inequality," said Jackie Brock, chief executive of Children in Scotland.
"While the reduction in child poverty indicates we are heading in the right direction, an increase in low-income working families only demonstrates that more and more families are slipping closer towards the poverty line."
Brock also warned that changes to welfare and benefits introduced by the UK government would push more families into poverty.
Julia Unwin, chief executive of the Joseph Rowntree Foundation, added: "This report presents clear and unambiguous evidence of the poverty levels among working age adults, rising numbers of people working part-time for want of a full-time job, high unemployment among young people and some shocking statistics on the health of a nation.
"Not to act upon these findings, risks condemning this and future generations to a cycle of poor health and no wealth."

Britain's Culture Secretary, Jeremy Hunt, was battling to save his political career after it was revealed that his office was secretly passing information to the Murdochs during their £7.5 billion ($14.9 billion) bid to take over BSkyB.
Hunt faced demands for his resignation after hundreds of pages of explosive emails, released by News Corp to the Leveson Inquiry, showed that his political advisers engaged in intimate and frequent briefing of the Murdochs' chief lobbyist to help get the deal through - despite Hunt's claim to have acted impartially in his exercise of quasi-judicial powers.
Leader of the Opposition Ed Miliband said the disclosures made Hunt's position untenable: "Jeremy Hunt should have been standing up for the interests of the British people. In fact it now turns out he was standing up for the interests of the Murdochs. He should resign."
Downing Street said Prime Minister David Cameron supported Hunt but pointedly did not express confidence in the process followed by the Department of Culture in deciding the bid.
Hunt said he had to bring forward his evidence to the Leveson Inquiry to clear his name. "Now is not a time for knee-jerk reactions," he said. "Let me be clear my number one priority was to give the public confidence in the integrity of the process. I asked for advice from independent regulators - which I didn't have to do - and I followed that advice to the letter.
"I would like to resolve this issue as soon as possible which is why I have today written to Lord Justice Leveson asking if my appearance can be brought forward. I am very confident that when I present my evidence, the public will see that I conducted this process with scrupulous fairness."
One email quoted Hunt saying "we'd get there in the end" and that he "shared" News Corp's objective of taking over the broadcaster.
Another email, sent by News Corp's lobbyist the day before Hunt made a statement to Parliament on the bid, drew gasps when it was read out at the inquiry: "Managed to get some infos on the plans for tomorrow (although absolutely illegal ...! )"
In a day of dramatic revelations at the inquiry, where James Murdoch gave evidence under oath, it also emerged that:
* Murdoch did discuss News Corp's bid for BSkyB with Cameron over Christmas dinner at the Oxfordshire home of Rebekah Brooks - contradicting Downing Street's previous denials.
* Emails sent by James Murdoch's lobbyist Frederic Michel show that Hunt's office would regularly update News Corp on the progress of its bid and how to get it past the regulators - sometimes speaking several times a day, and once even delaying the Culture Secretary's trip to the ballet.
* The Scottish First Minister, Alex Salmond, showed enthusiasm in supporting the bid. The emails suggest he linked his backing with a request to Murdoch to "smooth the way" for the Sun newspaper to support the Scottish Nationalist Party.
* News Corp threatened Hunt that it would withdraw the bid if he did not hurry things along. "JH repeated he was definitely keen to see this through as quickly as possible."
The emails directly contradicted assurances that Hunt had given the House of Commons that he was acting as an independent adjudicator of the bid in a quasi-judicial role, Labour said.
Miliband, the Labour leader, and his deputy Harriet Harman called on Hunt to resign.
The Prime Minister will also now face awkward questioning at the Leveson Inquiry over his discussions with James Murdoch about the BSkyB bid during a Christmas dinner at the home of Rebekah Brooks in December 2010, after James Murdoch contradicted the claim of Cameron's official spokesman that "he [Cameron] has not been involved in any of the discussions regarding BSkyB, he has been absolutely clear on that".
The emails also shed light on the extensive and unsuccessful efforts the firm undertook to lobby the Business Secretary, Vince Cable, to approve the deal, before he was stripped of responsibility.
In one email, Michel, News Corp's director of public affairs in Europe, suggests using the editor of the Times, owned by News International, to get to see Cable after he had refused to meet with the company.
"We should try a very soft approach with him; get him to meet with James Harding ... It would be a much better setting than a direct lobbying conversation."
Hunt told the Commons in June 2011: "I am deciding this deal on a quasi-judicial basis, but I have not met Rupert Murdoch or James Murdoch in recent weeks, and all the meetings I have had with them have been minuted and done through official channels."
Email cache demonstrates ongoing ties
Key emails from the News Corp cache
November 15, 2010: Call on mobile
As storm clouds gather over the deal because of rising opposition from other media groups and politicians, Frederic Michel tells James Murdoch that Jeremy Hunt is keen to keep channels open.
"Jeremy tried to call you. He has received ... legal advice not to meet us today as the current process is treated as a judicial one (not a policy one) and any meeting could be referred to and jeopardise the entire process. Jeremy is very frustrated about it ... My advice would be not to meet him today as it would be counter-productive for everyone, but you could have a chat with him on his mobile which is ... fine, and I will liaise with his team privately."
Shortly afterwards, Murdoch replies: "You must be f***ing joking. I will text him and find a time."
December 14, 2010: Support voiced
The announcement by Ofcom of the "issues" it will seek answers to from News Corp before reaching a decision on the BSkyB proposal is matched by reassurances from inside the Cabinet.
"Very good debrief with Hunt on the issues letter. He is ... amazed by its findings, methodology and clear bias. he ... shares our views on it."
December 24, 2010: Stay in touch
After the Daily Telegraph revelation that Business Secretary Vince Cable has "declared war" on Rupert Murdoch, he is removed from deciding the BSkyB bid and responsibility passes to Hunt. But contact between Hunt and his office and Murdoch and News Corp does not end.
From Michel to Murdoch: "Just spoke to JH. Said he was very happy for me to be the point of contact with him/Adam [Smith] on behalf of JRM going forward. Very important to avoid giving the'anti' any opportunity to attack the fairness of the process ... "
January 23, 2011: 'Game over'
An increasingly confident News Corp senses victory after Hunt signals to Michel support for "UILs" (undertakings in lieu) to seal the BSkyB deal.
"[Hunt's] view is that once he announces publicly he has a strong UIL, it's almost game over for the opposition ... He very specifically said he was keen to get to the same outcome and wanted JRM to understand he needs to build some political cover on the process."
January 24, 2011: 'Bloody illegal'
Michel tells Murdoch he has had prior notification of a Hunt announcement on the handling of BSkyB deal. "Managed to get some infos on plans for tomorrow [although absolutely illegal ... !]
June 30, 2011: 'Idiotic debates'
Michel updates Murdoch: "Had a debrief with JH [Hunt] and his team ... He is very happy with the way today went and especially with the absolutely idiotic debates led by [Labour MP] Tom Watson and [John] Prescott."
July 7, 2011: Milly Dowler hacking
After the revelation by the Guardian that the News of the World hacked the phone of Milly Dowler, leading to its closure, Michel insists Hunt and his team see no reason to change their stance on BSkyB.
"Spoke to JH. V important to keep same briefing lines as discussed and insist on the plurality issue."

Beaumont Woman Blinded In Police Pepper Spray Incident Holds Press Conference
Doctors Say She'll Never See Again
LOS ANGELES, Calif. - At her attorney's office in Los Angeles on Tuesday, 31-year-old Monique Hernandez, using a cane and needing the help of her daughter and the support of her parents, spoke at a news conference to talk about how her life changed on Feb. 21 this year.
That night, she lost her eyesight.
Beaumont police officer Enoch Clark allegedly blinded Hernandez when he fired a powerful pepper spray gun from close range at her face during a sobriety test in front of her parents home.
Hernandez was not arrested and now doctors tell her she is permanently blind.
"It's difficult," said Hernandez. "Like I have to learn everything all over again. From walking to showering, taking care of myself. It's not a good feeling."
Last week officer Clark pleaded not guilty to four felony assault charges.
Hernandez's attorney is planning to file a damage claim against the city of Beaumont.

Our Elbrus Northside trip concluded in one of my favorite towns to visit in Europe, St. Petersburg. Finally sleeping in to a leisurely hour, we met our tour guide and bus at 10 am and departed on a circuitous path through the history filled city to see the sites. St. Petersburg is home to some of the more stunning cathedrals in Russia, and those were a primary focus of the tour, passing by the Church of our Savior on the Spilled Blood, St. Nicholas' Cathedral (a cathedral dedicated to the Saint of travel and maritime navigation, which is of huge significance in a city founded to be the maritime capitol of Russia, and the home of it's navy), and St. Issac's Cathedral. The massive scale of St. Issac's is something to behold, and on one side, its huge columns still bare the scars left from mortar and artillery shells fired at the city during its 600-day siege in World War II. We also passed the warship that fired the symbolic first shot that began the Bolshevik takeover of Russia's government, and found ourselves finally at the Hermitage.
The Hermitage is comprised of the former winter palace of the Romanov dynasty, as well as several buildings that were added on later by different emperors and empresses, and is home to an art collection in excess of 2.7 million pieces. Our guide spent an hour taking us through the buildings, pointing out some highlights, a Michelangelo, two paintings by DaVinci, and several by Rembrandt. After the hour, our tour guide released us to wander through the stunning rooms ourselves at our own pace. That evening we regrouped for a canal boat tour, beginning on the river Nevski, which runs through the heart of St. Petersburg. Unfortunately, the days of recent rain (many of which we had experienced!), had swollen the rivers and canals, so that the boat was unable to make its way through the usual circuit of canals that run through the heart of the city, as the passages under the bridges were too low, but we still were able to see the summer gardens and several more palaces from the unique perspective of the canal.
That led us to our final dinner as a group. The Jerome presented the perfect destination, and when the chef came out to show us the special — a beautifully marbled cut of local prime rib weighing almost a kg, everyone was sold. Delicious local beef, and several bottles of Spanish Rioja provided the perfect ending celebration to a really special trip that everyone enjoyed. We were sad to part ways the following morning, some of us very early, for flights back to the US. This was a special group of climbers to work with, and JM and I would like to thank everyone for their hard work and incredible perseverance and positive attitudes. We look forward to running into everyone in the mountains again soon, and thanks to all who followed along on our adventure!

The last two days have flown by quickly, mostly involving automobiles, planes, airports, lots of bags, and a little walking. We had to wake early yesterday after our summit push to start the walk to Mt. Elbrus' Base Camp, and the forecast called for rain, and our drivers were worried about getting the vans back across the river before the water levels rose. So we awoke at 5 to the sound of rain and quickly packed our bags, but pleasantly the rain subsided, and we had a nice, but very heavy walk back to the pastures where our adventure started. As we descended, the loose scree of the moraine have way to wide alluvial plains again, then the moss covered rocky hills and chasms of the lower mountain. We had only been at camp 1 for about a week, but the verdant green plant life, flowers, and birds of the lower elevations were still welcome sensory stimulation!
As we arrived at Base Camp, so did the vans, so we repacked hurriedly and climbed into another offroad sprinter van for the bouncy and at times thrilling drive back to Kislovodsk. Some took the afternoon to explore town, others supported and dried gear, and then we meet for our final Caucasian dinner, which we deemed Meat Fest. Three and a half 1 kilogram platters of delicious bbq lamb, beef, chicken, and pork had everyone holding their stomachs, gasping for air, but still trying to finish every morsel. Our national pride was on the line as Dave pointed out.
Today we once again did the great shuffle, catching an early shuttle to the airport, and then a flight to Moscow and on to St. Petersburg. St. Petersburg is very cosmopolitan, and has the feel of old Europe, with cafes, bars, and restaurants at every turn. We found the Craft Brew Cafe and knew it would suit our needs. We just returned from another delicious meal, where different types of dried meats, chantrelles (which are in season!) and a delicious take on Bourchte were all featured heavily. Tomorrow we've got a busy day touring this beautiful city, and everybody is excited.

What a spectacular day of climbing here in Russia! We got up just as that big orange ball of fire was cresting the horizon, but distant, low clouds to the East turned it blood red, as it set the Caucasus on fire. The excitement of a summit morning was palpable as everyone moved about with a little extra pep putting the final preparations on their packing jobs, and them we were underway.
The skies were crystal clear for nearly all of our ascent, and a 10mph downhill breeze kept things pretty chilly, as well as filled in any trace of a trail, though there was a group of 12 just 30min ahead of us. Three stretches of climbing brought us to the saddle between the East and West summits. There, we joined the Southside route for the final push to the West Summit. Five and a half hours after leaving camp, we were standing on the top of Europe, snapping photos, sharing congratulations, and enjoying the achievement. The wind was still chilly, and cranking steadily, so after 20 min or so, we were ready to beat feet back down. Our timing couldn't have been better; as we left clouds started to flow over the summit, and descended as we did. We got back to our high camp, packed things up, and kept rolling down to our camp 1 at 12,300, where we are now, enjoying kebab and mulled wine from our outfitter Yuri.
Tomorrow we'll wake early to descend to base camp and meet our vans to return to Kislovodsk and civilization. From there, our Russian adventure will continue in St. Petersburg! For now, we'll relish in our success and look forward to showers and beds tomorrow.

We have settled in to high camp at Lenz Rocks after a beautiful day of climbing. Warm sun, and a cloudless sky at breakfast let us dally a bit longer than had been our want, and then we set to packing up camp, paring down our gear to the essentials, and getting ready to climb to 15,000'. The climbing is very smooth, mostly walking straight up a broad shoulder of the glacier, and everyone performed well. The scale here is pretty large, and difficult to get a grasp on, and it was quickly apparent that it was better to focus on one's steps than looking up, as things took much longer to approach than it seemed like they should.
With camp built, we're headed to bed early in anticipation of an earlyish start for the summit tomorrow. With any luck, we'll be calling in from the summit tomorrow!

Rain and wet snow pounding on the tent this morning told us all we needed to know about the wisdom of moving uphill today. With folks recovering from our united GI distress, another day to rest up and be ready for the move was in order. The clouds gave us a break finally, and most of the day was very pleasant, though the moving snow and lenticulars told a different story above. By this evening everyone was excited to be feeling good again, and we are well prepped for a move to our high camp at Lenz Rocks tomorrow.
We'll be in touch soon,

Sometimes you get thrown a total curveball, which was the case with our Mt. Elbrus expedition today. Apparently there has been a stomach bug simmering in the group, and it reached its boiling point last night. With most of the team suffering and feeling less than 100%, it was an easy decision to stay put and rest and recover today. That ended up lining up well with the forecast, as the next couple of days look better than today or tonight. So with that positive note, we'll get a good night's sleep so that we wake up ready to get back to work.

Our first clue that things had changed was that it was COLD this morning. Still cozied in our sleeping bags, we peeked out of the tent, and couldn't find a cloud in the sky anywhere. Psyched to have a break from the rain, we layered up and headed out to fire up breakfast and get our train rolling uphill.
The climbing above Camp 1 follows a broad glacial shoulder almost straight up to Lenz Rocks above us. As fast as we can tell, most Russian climbers don't believe in switchbacks. There is a wide trail punched into the snow, but it goes straight up. We made some switchbacks of our own, cruising up to our next camp in style, where we deposited a load of food and a bit of fuel, before returning. The downhill trail couldn't be any better for making good time, and quickly we were back at our tents at 12,300'. The rain even stayed away for us to have a nice dinner outside together, and take some night shots of the moon rising over Elbrus' twin summits.
If all goes well, we'll pack up camp tomorrow to move to Lenz for the night and start our summit bid. The next couple of days should be busy!
Best from way up here,

It rained last night. Then it fired off a couple blinding flashes of lightning with a throaty growl of thunder that rolled on and on for what seemed like minutes. Then it rained some more.
We did the only logical thing we could think of this morning and put on the brightest clothing we all could find and crawled out to eat a breakfast of champions: cocoa puff and coffee.
The rain eventually diminished and we grabbed empty packs and returned to our cache to be reunited with the rest of our gear. An afternoon of rest and staying dry led to dinner, which showed promise with a brief glimpse of the sun. But it was not to be; within 30 seconds of putting out the dinner call, the hail began, which became rain once again.
Despite the 110% humidity, spirits are high, and we keep looking upwards at our next step, the glacier climbing towards Lenz Rocks and eventually the summit. We shared our current reading endeavors, learning about the reality of fish farming, and the Russian stereotypes portrayed by Dostoyevsky. Tomorrow we will try for an acclimatization hike and small carry to Lenz, with an eye towards making that move the day after to start our summit push. We'll see if that lines up with the weather's ideas.
Best from a soggy camp one,

Jan Brewer Caves to Obamacare
15 January 13
rizona Gov. Jan Brewer said Monday she plans to push for an expansion of the state's Medicaid program under the federal health care law, a surprising decision that could have an impact on other Republican governors weighing a similar decision.
Brewer has opposed the federal health care law known as the Affordable Care Act, citing worries over a potential overreliance on federal funding.
A provision in the 2010 law allows for states to increase Medicaid coverage, and Brewer told lawmakers in her annual State of the State address on Monday that virtually all of the expansion would be funded by the federal government. Not taking the money wouldn't contribute to the lowering of federal deficits, she said.
Any increase would also "include a circuit-breaker that automatically" would roll back enrollment if federal reimbursement rates decrease, Brewer said.
"I won't allow Obamacare to become a bait-and-switch," she said.
Brewer's decision was being closely watched across the country, particularly since Arizona was among the states that sued to overturn Obama's law. After the last summer's Supreme Court ruling upholding the law, Brewer considered a partial expansion, but the administration rejected that approach.
Brewer on Monday cited President Barack Obama's re-election and the Supreme Court ruling as evidence of the law's permanence.
She also referenced a brief and unpleasant encounter between her and the president that was captured by photographers. The argument on a Mesa airport tarmac was a highly visible demonstration of the verbal and legal skirmishing that has regularly occurred between Brewer and Obama's administration over illegal immigration and other issues.
A smiling Brewer told lawmakers that Arizona can't simply wag its finger at the federal government.
"Trust me: I tried that once," she said.
The Supreme Court ruling said states were free to accept or reject the expansion, and several GOP governors have said they will not go forward, including Rick Perry in Texas, Bobby Jindal in Louisiana and Nikki Haley in South Carolina.
Another Republican governor considering Medicaid expansion is Florida Gov. Rick Scott, who faces pressure from hospitals and other state constituencies but has said he's concerned about the potential costs of the expansion.
"I think this speaks to how this is a very good offer on the table," said Joan Alker, co-director of the Georgetown University Center for Children and Families. "This puts pressure on other governors, like Gov. Scott in Florida, where there is a lot of debate right now."
Republicans have a majority in Arizona's House and Senate, which must approve the expansion. Brewer's announcement took even her own party's Legislative leaders by surprise.
"That was a bit of a shocker," Senate President Andy Biggs told reporters after the speech.
The announcement was a surprise even to journalists who were provided an advance copy of Brewer's speech — minus the section on the Medicaid expansion. Brewer said as recently as last week she would make a decision soon, but didn't hint it would come in the State of the State address.
Seventeen states and Washington D.C. have now signed onto the expansion, and nine have opted out. The rest are weighing the decision.
Overall, the Medicaid expansion accounts for about half the 30 million uninsured people expected to eventually gain coverage under President Barack Obama's health care overhaul.
The law expanded Medicaid to cover low-income people making up to 138 percent of the federal poverty level, or about $15,400 a year for a single person. That provision will mainly benefit low-income childless adults, who currently can't get Medicaid in most states. Separately, the overhaul provides subsidized private insurance for middle-class households.
Under the legislation, Washington would pay the entire cost of the Medicaid expansion for the first three years, gradually phasing down to 90 percent of the cost after that. It's a far more generous matching rate than the federal government provides for other parts of the Medicaid program.
Brewer told lawmakers that expanding Medicaid would help poor Arizonans and help hospitals and caregivers who now must give care without pay. An estimated 300,000 more Arizonans would be eligible for the state's version of Medicaid under the full expansion.
Biggs said it was premature to say whether lawmakers would support the expansion.
"We don't even know what the plan is," he said.
Republican state Rep. John Kavanagh, an opponent of expanding Medicaid, said he doubted the governor's plan will clear the Legislature.
"The Legislature doesn't like Obamacare, and this is a critical part of it," he said.
Senate Minority Leader Leah Landrum Taylor said not expanding Medicaid would continue to leave the poor without care and hospitals stuck with costs.
"The number of jobs that it's going to create, the number of lives it's going to save, it's people that need the health care," she said. "And the writing is on the wall. We can't continue this way."

yes there will be people who do not contribute, but the hope is with more people being insured we will have less to pay because the insurance companies will have, oh say, about 6 million new enrollees. the insurance companies' deafening silence through most of this, aside from cursory comments they were 'supposed' to make, speaks a lot.
and Jan Brewer does not want to be called the fool she is...

text: Guys, would you help me with these two things? 1. Is dry cleaning the only way to prevent shirt shrinkage? I'm afraid that my only Epaulet medium will be too tight after a wash, since it's really snug on me already. I also have a large one, which was too big before the wash (too long to wear untucked for sure), but now is pretty much ok. Still rather long though, but I think Epaulet shirts are longer than – let's say – Gitman shirts. 2. If I ever get enough money for an Epaulet sportcoat, should I aim for 38 or for 40? Does the site's sizing advice (medium shirt = 38 sportcoat) apply to shirts before or after the wash? Having some very tiny experience with Epaulet shirts now, I'm thinking that a sportcoat size 40 would be too long, as at 170 cm (or 5 feet 7 inches, using your heathenish metric system I'm a pretty short dude.

Read Transcript
Marquette's ferocious defense stiffed Falls on three crucial plays late in the fourth quarter of the Division 1 championship game to lead the Hilltoppers to their first WIAA football title.
Menomonee Falls' offense was held to just 51 yards as the Indians were shut out by Marquette, 7-0, in Friday's state championship game.
Senior Kyle Acker ran for two touchdowns in the second half to help Waunakee spoil Kimberly's bid for a third consecutive state title.
A stinging one-point loss in last year's state championship still lingered on Chad Mazur's mind. Friday, Mazur made his mark quickly, running for two touchdowns and throwing one more to lead Reedsburg to the title.
The combination of experience and talent laid the foundation for arguably the toughest conference in the area during the regular season. Add postseason play to the equation and there is no question the Greater Metro is No. 1.
Burlington Catholic Central became the first team to repeat as Division 7 champions with a dominant performance that belied the 27-15 final over Chippewa Falls McDonell and elicited the kind of emotion you would expect from a team that had to wonder if it was championship material early in the season.
Senior Michael Walker has rushed for 255 yards and set a WIAA Division 4 state finals record with five touchdowns to help Walworth Big Foot storm past Kewaunee and win its first state title.
Senior running backs Anthony Parker and Brian Fellers each ran for more than 100 yards as St. Mary's Springs rolled up 329 yards on the ground and steamrolled to a victory over Arcadia.
Quarterback Justin Sinz threw for three touchdowns and Edgar went on to a convincing victory over Eau Claire Regis for its first state title since 2001.
The Wisconsin Interscholastic Athletic Association will settle its football championships in the top three divisions on Friday at Camp Randall Stadium in Madison. Here are single-game championship records in rushing, passing and receiving for the three divisions.
Marquette coach Dick Basham is going strong after 40 years and 351 victories, but individual statistics are meaningless when his records and accomplishments are being discussed. It's all about his team.
Retired coach Jim Jeskewitz will be at the Division 1 state championship game Friday in Madison. He's been going the last 15 to 20 years but finally has a team to root for - his beloved Indians.
This year, Andy Meiszberg traded in his No. 43 jersey for a No. 52 and Andre Jacobsen gave up No. 12 for No. 55. In shedding one number for another, they also were giving up the glory of running the ball and catching passes for the yeoman's work of blocking at Burlington Catholic Central.
Milwaukee Marquette didn't just beat Arrowhead in a WIAA Division 1 semifinal. The Hilltoppers routed a team aiming for its fourth straight state finals appearance, getting coach Dick Basham, the state's winningest football coach, to his first WIAA championship game.
Finding a way to the end zone through the ferocious Marquette defense is one of the things Falls must do to defeat the Hilltoppers in Friday's Division 1 football title game.
The Indians needed to have a big defensive game to limit Appleton North standout running back Steve Lichtfuss in a WIAA Division 1 semifinal at Titan Stadium on Saturday night. Boy, did they ever get it.
Links from elsewhere around the state on the 2009 high school football playoffs.

STRIKE MAY TIE UP APPLIANCE DEALERS; If Truckmen Walk Out Monday Customers Will Be Asked to Wait for Yule Orders
Many local appliance dealers yesterday prepared to ask customers to wait indefinitely for delivery of Christmas orders if a strike of trucking employes occurs on Monday as tentatively scheduled. The threatened strike would completely paralyze consumer deliveries of refrigerators and other white goods for stores using outside trucking organizations.

Looking for Christmas entertainment that's off the beaten path? Nancy Cranbourne and Patti Dobrowolski, last seen together in these parts at the Boulder Museum of Contemporary Art Theater in their hit show 2 Women Avoiding Involuntary Hospitalization, have been coerced into a holiday followup at BMoCA, based on the same characters but with a little help from some friends. The Christmas Peril: A Hormonal Holiday, through December 17, is all about what happens after Cranbourne and Dobrowolski sell the movie rights to 2 Women, become "semi-rich and famous" and move to Hollywood.
Dobrowolski sets the scene (which is, mind you, completely fictional, though the two women say they are playing a sort of Lucy-and-Ethel rendition of themselves): "We've been caught making illegal Internet investments using people's money from the City of Boulder and are court-ordered to do a community-theater performance of a play written by our parole officer's nephew, Howard." Dubbed Colorado Cowboy Country Christmas, it's a musical within a play: "It's a different kind of Christmas romp other than The Nutcracker." That it is, but it's still a crackup.
Cranbourne and Dobrowolski can't sing, so they've had to add five cast members who can. "We work on the show with them, and they're all supposed to be very bad," Dobrowolski says. "But actually, they're much better actors than we are." And, Cranbourne notes, working with a seven-person ensemble has been a positive experience: "You're like a team on a sailboat. Theater is a labor of love. When the whole family's together, you want to move and groove with them -- they're our little champs. This gave us a chance to extend our family."
The Christmas Peril: A Hormonal Holiday
Boulder Museum of Contemporary Art Theater, 1750 13th Street, Boulder
8 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays and 4 p.m. Sundays
Through December 17, $15-$16
And they've learned new skills. "The shows have stretched us," Dobrowolski says. "Nancy's doing more business things than before -- and I ended up drinking a lot more coffee than normal."

Pardon me? Have something to say about my wife?
Naw I was just saying doe.
I never seen her before.
I should hope not. Let's keep it that way.
All going to WiTW will get to meet the one lady that deserves a medal for putting up with me all the time.
She is pretty excited for a vacation from the kids and to drive her car down there. She is pretty laid back. I need her to meet more Volkswagen girls!
She sounds like a cool mom who likes dubbin'.
She must not get it twisted.
^ Not this guy again.
God...I hope you are different in real life than your internet persona. It's annoying.
But yes...she is a mom that loves fresch dubs.
Got the alignment done yesterday. It actually wasn't that bad, but it was due by time and I don't like wearing tires out due to negligence. Once the coilovers go on, I am just going to have to realign it again.
Got an exhaust leak fixed the other night as well. When we installed the Unitronic cat-back, we had to make an adapter and use a crappy u-clamp. Will that was causing a small leak. I just got around to swapping that clamp out with an OEM style sleeve clamp. No more leak.
good deal.
Nice update Christof
sixteen10's Audi S3 | TEAM V2LAB | Shawn's Speed Shop | IG : sixteen10
Well, it's official. The battery needs to be changed. Car died several times today. I will be changing it once I am home from work (about 1930) and then on the road to Fontana Dam!
Thanks bro.
I was going to get to those but I had to do work.
Since I am here, I guess I will post that Crystal and I had a great time down at Wookies in the Woods.
The R got pushed to it's limits and sounded great doing so. I wish I got more videos of the exhaust and more photos, but we were too busy driving to do so. Next year, the GLI will be staying home and hopefully the R will have more things done to it and we will take more photos and videos.
No problem, bro. And it was a blast.
Nice shots Alyssa.
No updates. Just been gas and go. The 50,000 mile maintenance is due very soon, about the same time as my GLI 65,000 maintenance, so I will be doing that shortly. I will hopefully be buying the proper tools for the DSG service and knocking all the fluid changes out this summer. Also considering the new Forge intake.
The coilover fund was going nicely, until we had some banking issues and had to drop that cash into an account to keep it afloat. That being said, it has started again and these will be on this summer.
Stumbled acrossed these on eBay today:
Currently bidding on them for a very nice price. If I get them, they will have 215/45 Nitto NeoGen and a 5mm spacer on the rear.
What about wrapping them in 215/40. Also what coilovers are you planning to purchase?
225/45R17: 60.0 mph
215.45R17: 59.1 mph
215/40R17: 57.1 mph
Trying to stay as close as possible to the OEM diameter.
I really want FK Silverlines. But their availability is starting to upset me. Starting to widen my view on other setups.
Gotcha. I didnt see they were 17s


text: There are all sorts of approaches to teaching kids to cook, but I believe the easiest and most effective is "let the child do what interests him or her." I contend that nothing will spark an interest in cooking more than allowing the child direct you to a recipe or flavor that they want to cook. Chocolate chip cookies, pizza and pasta are easy ways to develop an early love for being in the kitchen, creating. Even using a novel kitchen appliance or tool can be something fun for a child. But when G recently started asking to use a knife, I had to initially tell him "no." After all, at three, almost four, he is far too young to hone his knife skills. But G has an inherent love of things that are thrilling and a wee bit dangerous, so I we came up with this compromise: A very blunt butter knife and a very ripe avocado afforded G the opportunity to use a new kitchen tool, without the risk of an emergency room visit. Of course, this cooking experience also came with a stern explanation that a butter knife is a whole lot different than a knife mom or dad uses in the kitchen, and the warning of what would happen if he did use the other knives (which are way out of reach, by the way).

I had a revision 3 wks ago (due to remaining bump) but I STILL can see the same hump! My surgeon said he didn't wanna rasp too much! Why wouldn't he wanna remove the hump after 2 surgeries? :( Not to mention that I also have a thin skin! I can already see/feel the edges of my nose and a VERY tiny vertical line in the center of the hump! Is that Open roof? if so what can be done & is it Surgeon's fault? Can't believe I did 2 surgeries and still have the hump! Is it gonna look worse w/ time? :((

Seahorses, Dolphins Lose Second Straight
When a team such as Far Rockaway knows that every game is important, a defeat to Bayside 18-6 last week just may hurt this team's chances at a playoff spot at the end of the season.
Coming off a tough 10-6 loss two weeks ago at John F. Kennedy High School, Far Rockaway knew that Bayside would be prepared to play. A few Seahorses coaches saw first hand as Bayside won their first game of the season 16-6 against Beach Channel last week. But the Seahorses was not prepared in the second half to combat the emotion and precision of Bayside's offensive attack.
Down 6-0 in the first half, Bayside came out emotionally charged as they shut down a potent Far Rockaway offense. RB Drew Williams scored on a 2-yard touchdown run at the end of the third quarter to tie the game at 6-6.
"We needed to get Drew more touches and that was our gameplan. No matter what how we get the ball to him, we was going to get it to Drew", said Bayside head coach Joseph Capuana.
Field position hurt the Seahorses in the second half as penalties and their inconsistent play pinned them down in their own end of the field.
"Every drive for us started inside the 20 and every big play we made outside, we got 15-yard penalties", said Far Rockaway assistant coach Willie Beverly.
At 6:11 left in the fourth and tied at 6-6, Bayside's Kenan Brogdon picked up a partially blocked Seahorses' punt and returned the ball 25 yards for a touchdown to give Bayside the 12-6 lead.
"Kenan came up with a very smart play and a great play to see the ball and it turned it around for us", said Capuana.
Capuana knows that his team needs to win all of their remaining games to have a chance of the playoffs but was proud of his team's efforts. "We had some really tough games in the beginning and we knew we had Far Rockaway came off that tough game and they was going to be pumped to play us", said Capuana. "We were able to keep our confidence".
The play of Bayside seemed to get under the skin of Far Rockaway, as Bayside's 18 consecutive points scored got under the skin of Far Rockaway. The Seahorses blew opportunities with their penalties and in one instance, missing the chance to recover a fumble in the third quarter. Willie Beverly saw that those missed opportunities were going to eventually hurt his team.
"They ran a power game in the second half and they used their size to their advantage. They made plays and in football, sometimes its hard to stop a team like that", said Beverly. "We didn't get the opportunity to get a big play and we didn't get the breaks",
Far Rockaway (4-2, 3-2 PSAL Queens) remains in the PSAL top 10 and gets the chance to break their 2 game losing streak against Campus Magnet on Saturday, October 18, 2003 at 12 p.m.
Dolphins Lose Second Straight
Head coach Victor Nazario's Dolphins went through their toughest loss of the season as they were blown out by Midwood in Brooklyn 48-12. The Dolphins fell to 2-3 and at this point of the season are looking from the outside of the PSAL playoff structure.
Midwood led 34-6 at halftime as six players scored touchdowns for the Hornets. RB Richard Ferere led the Hornets with 105 yards and two touchdowns. The only touchdown Beach Channel (3-3, 2-3 PSAL Queens) scored was on a 90-yard touchdown kickoff return by Howard Merkeson in the 4th quarter. Beach Channel will play at August Martin on Saturday, October 18 at 1 p.m.
High School Notes
Far Rockaway won the battle of the peninsula with a 30-0 victory last Saturday at Far Rock. The Seahorses scored in every quarter for the ballgame as they racked up more than 600 yards of total offense. RB Tyrelle Zanders led the rushing attack with 132 yards and a touchdown. Daniel Samuels ran for more than 100 yards and Steven Flake scored two touchdowns to spark the Seahorses to a 4-0 start to the season.
Far Rockaway will play at home on Sunday, October 19 at 10 a.m. against Springfield Gardens. Beach Channel (1-1) looks to bounce back at Bayside on Sunday at 11 a.m.
Beach Channel Boys Bowling team improved to
4-3 at press time with a win over Bushwick 3 games
to 0.
Far Rockaway High School will host their 4th annual Homecoming Game and Parade on Saturday, October 25 at 10 a.m. before the Far Rockaway-August Martin varsity football game at 11 a.m.
