The Baltimore Sun faith blog reports:
A week after Rep. Joe Wilson (R-S.C.) shouted "You lie!" at President Barack Obama during Obama's address to a joint session of Congress, faith leaders will gather in Washington on Tuesday to pray for an "end to hateful rhetoric that creates a toxic environment for immigrant families."
Participating in the vigil outside the Capitol will be Bishop John Wester of Salt Lake City, who chairs the Committee on Immigration of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops; Bishop Prince Singh of the Episcopal Diocese of Rochester, N.Y.; Bishop Minerva Carcaño of the Desert Southwest Conference of the United Methodist Church and Dale Schwartz of the Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society.

I just read that the House of Representatives just voted to "rebuke" the gentleman from South Carolina. My first thought was that I wish they'd move as decisively to get affordable health care for our people. These gestures do nothing but burn up money and buy cheap publicity. Let's pray that our elected representatives SERVE the people, especially the most vulnerable among us. That would be a good thing to pray for.
I am glad this gathering will be held. I am appalled at the negative attitude toward immigrants that I encounter here in North Carolina, and while I'm sorry Rep. Wilson was rude last week, I think his outburst opened a door into an area of thought that needs to be scrutinized.
I'm pretty sure this is hateful rhetoric towards illegal immigrants as well:
"There are also those who claim that our reform efforts would insure illegal immigrants. This, too, is false. The reforms — the reforms I'm proposing would not apply to those who are here illegally."
Does the means (making this denial) justify the ends (passage of a health care bill)?
And while the denial may be technically true, it's not as if the president's plan actively seeks to change the facts on the ground — which are that illegal immigrants already get care (however demeaning) when they appear at the emergency room. Nor would his plan change the fact that federal dollars end up being spent for that care as a result.
Re: Your Comments John,
I also find it sad that the only way we can pass any health care is to make a point of not offering insurance to those who are trying to scrape out a living here. As it is, we currently pay for them anyway, and it would be cheaper to bring them into the system. Unfortunately, politics gets in the way of doing what's best, and cheapest. And for that matter, what's right, taking care of our fellow man.
Jimmy Carter has spoken out about the racist nature of this outburst here
Quite so. From the rallies I've observed, it seems that much of the rhetoric directed against President Obama is not only about his skin color, but goes hand-in-hand with where they think he was born. The 'birthers' (and those that cynically manipulate them) refuse to see him as anything but foreign born in Kenya, thus ineligible to hold the office of president. In their eyes this makes him the "arch-immigrant" & a counterfeit President. Quite naturally President Obama is now the focus of all the pent-up fear-driven hatred of the 'hordes' of (primarily non-white) immigrants the Right believe are overwhelming "their America".
"The United Stated Conference of Catholic Bishops, following the Gospel mandate to care for the "least of these," urges us to look at health care from the bottom up. A particular gauge against which to measure true universal coverage would be how reform treats the immigrants in our midst who contribute their labor and taxes to our nation, but are at risk of being left out of health care reform."
Similarly, E. J. Dionne
"The president included the line about illegal immigrants because he thought, probably correctly, that for many voters, it would be a deal-breaker if they learned that his health proposals would help those who broke the law to come to this country.
Yet it should bother us a lot more than it does that alleged plans to kill off seniors and promote abortion are spoken of in almost the same breath as the matter of delivering health care to fellow human beings, however they arrived on our shores."

As you might already know, Iron Sky is now officially a Finnish-German-Australian co-production. A big chunk of Iron Sky team will leave for Down Under tomorrow to check out some shooting locations and studios, do some casting and of course to meet the fans.
We will be attending Supanova Pop Culture Expo in Sydney in June 18-20. Supanova is this small intimate gathering of over 20 000 people who like science fiction, fantasy film, TV, comic books, anime, gaming and collectables, and the event has such special guests as Charisma Carpenter, Eliza Dushku, Colin Wilson etc. Supanova will take place in The Dome, Olympic Park / Sydney.
Investor Meetings – and a Little Help From Our Fans
You may also know that we opened the possibility for investing in Iron Sky for all our fans. This doesn't mean donating money to us, but full on investing in Iron Sky and actually making money from the movie. So far over 250 people have expressed their interest in investing over half a million euros, and to date 65 people have committed to over 200 000 euros.
While we are in Australia, we'd like to arrange a couple of investor meetings, one in Brisbane on June 15th and one in Sydney during the Supanova weekend. If you are interested in dropping by to hear us talk about the movie and the investment plans, please drop us a mail at invest at ironsky dot net so we can get some kind of an estimate how many people will be turning up!
Looking For a Brisbane Location
We'll tell you more about the Supanova weekend meeting when we'll have more information, but we'll be in Brisbane in 15th of June. There's something we still don't have, though: a location for the meeting. If you know a place that fits the following specs, please tell us about it in Wreckamovie:
- Preferably a free or a cheap place for about 12-20 people to meet:
it can be a restaurant, auditorium etc.
- Available on Tuesday 15th of June, in the evening after working hours.
- Video projector or a big screen is a big bonus, we would like to
show some video, presentations and other such materials.
- A chance to knock back a couple of beers or other beverages is a
bonus also.
We hope we'll be seeing you in Australia! You can stay in touch with us in here and also in Facebook and Twitter!

A Prisoner in Fairyland HTML version
Chapter 23
Even as a luminous haze links star to star,
I would supply all chasms with music, breathing
Mysterious motions of the soul, no way
To be defined save in strange melodies.
Paracelsus, R. BROWNING.
Daddy's story, meanwhile, continued to develop itself with wonder and
enthusiasm. It was unlike anything he had ever written. His other studies had the
brilliance of dead precious stones, perhaps, but this thing moved along with a
rushing life of its own. It grew, fed by sources he was not aware of. It developed
of itself--changed and lived and flashed. Some creative fairy hand had touched
him while he slept perhaps. The starry sympathy poured through him, and he
thought with his feelings as well as with his mind.
At first he was half ashamed of it; the process was so new and strange; he even
attempted to conceal his method, because he could not explain or understand it.
'This is emotional, not intellectual,' he sighed to himself; 'it must be second
childhood. I'm old. They'll call it decadent!' Presently, however, he resigned
himself to the delicious flow of inspiration, and let it pour out till it flowed over into
his daily life as well. Through his heart it welled up and bubbled forth, a thing of
children, starlight, woods, and fairies.
Yet he was shy about it. He would talk about the story, but would not read it out.
'It's a new genre for me,' he explained shyly, 'an attempt merely. We'll see what
comes of it. My original idea, you see, has grown out of hand rather. I wake every
morning with something fresh, as though'--he hesitated a moment, glancing
towards his wife-- 'as if it came to me in sleep,' he concluded. He felt her
common sense might rather despise him for it.
'Perhaps it does,' said Rogers.
'Why not?' said Mother, knitting on the sofa that was her bed at night.
She had put her needles down and was staring at her husband; he stared at
Rogers; all three stared at each other. Something each wished to conceal moved
towards utterance and revelation. Yet no one of them wished to be the first to
mention it. A great change had come of late upon Bourcelles. It no longer
seemed isolated from the big world outside as before; something had linked it up
with the whole surrounding universe, and bigger, deeper currents of life flowed
through it. And with the individual life of each it was the same. All dreamed the
same enormous, splendid dream, yet dared not tell it--yet.
Both parents realised vaguely that it was something their visitor had brought, but
what could it be exactly? It was in his atmosphere, he himself least of all aware of
it; it was in his thought, his attitude to life, yet he himself so utterly unconscious of
it. It brought out all the best in everybody, made them feel hopeful, brighter, more
courageous. Yes, certainly, he, brought it. He believed in them, in the best of
them--they lived up to it or tried to. Was that it? Was it belief and vision that he
brought into their lives, though unconsciously, because these qualities lay so

Awesome (expensive but very honest)
I broke my leg when I was 5 months old. My mom & dad brought me to Tarvin & Lenihan with an open checkbook - just fix him, they said, no matter how much. He looked at the xrays from my vet (not my vet anymore!) who had told my parents that I had to have surgery - and RIGHT AWAY - and he said he thought if I could crate rest then the problem would be fixed and we could always go back in and do surgery at any time. So that's what we did. It cost my parents a total of $80 (at that time the consult fee) and then follow up x-rays twice more to be sure it was healing and that was it. Now I compete in agility so they were right - it would be fine. I love them because they make their living cutting dogs open and fixing them but they didn't think I needed that. My cousin, Mason, had both knees fixed by Lenihan and he is doing great!

Chocolate Caramel Ganache
- Servings: MAKES ABOUT 3 CUPS
- 8 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped into 1/4-inch pieces
- 4 ounces unsweetened chocolate, chopped into 1/4-inch pieces
- 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/8 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
How to make this recipe
Place the chopped semisweet and unsweetened chocolate in a 4-quart bowl. Set aside.
In a 1 1/2-quart saucepan, combine the heavy cream and butter over moderate heat and bring to a simmer. Lower the heat to keep the cream hot but not simmering, until needed.
In a 3-quart saucepan, combine the sugar and the lemon juice. Whisk to combine; the sugar will resemble moist sand. Caramelize the sugar for 7 to 8 minutes over moderately-high heat, stirring constantly with a whisk to break up any lumps. The sugar will become clear as it liquefies, then it will brown as it caramelizes. Remove the saucepan from the heat.
Carefully pour about 1/3 of the hot cream into the caramelized sugar. Whisk the caramel until it stops bubbling, then whisk in the remaining cream until smooth. Immediately pour the hot caramel over the chopped chocolate and let stand for 5 minutes, then whisk until very smooth. Serve immediately.

Whether your teenager is just starting to drive or you're sending a college student off in a new ride, you may be overwhelmed by worries that could be eased somewhat by simply choosing the right car.
Here's a checklist of some of the most important things to consider when you're looking for a new or used car for junior drivers and some of the best car models out there for your kid.
Playing it Safe
Car crashes may be the leading cause of death among teens, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, but there are plenty of ways to help ensure that your child isn't among those most at risk.
Before getting to details and specifications, it may seem obvious that sports cars aren't a great idea for a teen's starter car, but the biggest SUV on the used car lot might not be the safest either, since they're more prone to roll over because of their high centers of gravity, according to Consumer Reports.
Beyond that, there are a number of factors to consider, and we don't mean just checking for seatbelts and airbags. Thankfully, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety regularly offers its top safety picks based on crash-test ratings, rollover ratings and the effectiveness of seatbelts and other protective restraints.
The Institute conducts tests and rates cars based on rollovers, safety restraints and front, side and rear impacts. A number of affordable and teen-friendly cars have made it to their list, as well as MainStreet's.

I have zero problems with any other game but this and when it was purchased with the intention for a lot of online play with friends, it is extremely lackluster in quality assurance.
I'm not alone here and I'm just wondering if this is going to be resolved since i'd actually like to experience the game as intended, not facing the constant flashing of "SEARCHING FOR OPPONENTS" and my favourite "FAILED TO JOIN ____ PARTY".

Was asked to trouble shoot a mold issue in a Kneewall assembly. When I arrived there was a damp and hot (+120) kneewall assembly that had no ventilation. We corrected the mold issue by installing the proper ventilation to the assembly BUT now the client has a distinct smell that comes into the home. Is there any way that anyone knows of to eliminate the smell?
As I have stated, mold has dried up, but is still there. Ideas PLEASE

Any mold remediation company would be happy to charge you big bucks to encapsulate the mold. If you are lucky, the smell is coming from the old mold. Before anything else, I'd spray everything with a 10% solution of clorox in water.
Sometimes the after odor cannot be stopped and is impossible to trace.
A) look at waste plumbing stack if not vented to roof will make a lot of smells. B) let all bath exhaust out the roof or soffit C) water leaks roof or waste or water or steam heat system D) do you see mold? If so take it out
Hi Tim.
Adding ventilation addresses the cause of the mold, maybe, but where the mold developed may be well beyond the kneewalls.
Where is this house located (approximately), and how many years has this mold issue been going on? It is now a summer stack condition, so you may possible have air infiltration entering high, passing through the house, and exiting low. That could be carrying the unwanted smell with it.
Is the house air conditioned? Are there any air passages from basement to those kneewalls? There are often 2 kneewalls, did both have moisture issues? Plumbing vents often utilize kneewalls to pass up to the roof. Check for air sealing.
I think to have mold, then there is moisture and is good if you can look at and make a thermographic survey of housing. It will serve as a preventive maintenance of the home and if there is a problem it will locate. At least with us in Bulgaria so doing. Look there's a lot of information on these issues energyaudit.bg.
I agree with Bud and Emilian, how do you know the mold problem has been corrected? Mold smells generally dissipate significantly when moisture is removed, and you should have noticed the difference scent-wise. You may be able to use a moisture meter if you can access the entire wall surface.
Try ground coffee when making an effort to get rid of a musty smell in a room. Although the smell of coffee will linger it will not remain, and it will eliminate the musty smell quickly and easily. mold south Florida

Welcome to the digital age, where everyone's business is everyone else's through videos posted on the Internet. And if you think those YouTube videos are just for fun, think again. They can land you in court for insurance fraud.
Such is the fate of Andy House of Texas, who is accused of intentionally driving his $1 million Bugatti car into a lagoon in order to collect the $2.2 million insurance policy, according to ABC News. A trial is scheduled for later this month and the insurance company says the proof is in the YouTube video.
The crash happened three years ago in Galveston. House claimed that he dropped his phone and when he looked up, he was distracted by a pelican and swerved, ending up in the lagoon. Bystanders, awed by the rare car, were filming it and happened to catch the accident as it happened, later posting it on YouTube. Guess what? The insurance company, Philadelphia Indemnity Insurance Co., viewed the video and determined there's no pelican. It filed a lawsuit. House is counter-suing to claim the $2.2 million.
House's 2006 Bugatti Veyron, one of only a couple hundred made, is a marvel of technology and design. According to the company website, the Veyron is engineered to a top speed above 400 kilometers per hour -- or nearly 250 miles per hour -- with 1,000 horsepower. It describes the Veyron as uniting "the dichotomy of elegant form and high-tech function, of grace and power, aesthetics and safety in perfect harmony." Car enthusiasts must be shedding tears at its destruction, whether intentional or not.

Apr 2, 2013 at 7:27 am #1301205
My partner and I are trying to create a good 2-person sleep system for 3-season use (mostly in northeastern US and Canada). Two-person sleeping bags are expensive and not flexible (ie not good for solo trips or if we get separated due to emergency). On my own, I prefer using a quilt (currently an EE RevX), but find that with two people underneath it shifts a lot and slides off. In my imagination, it seems that zipping the lower portions of two quilts together could create a very flexible double-bag that could also become two single quilts when necessary. Has anyone tried this?
(I realize we could also invest in two mate-able WM bags, but that is a pricy proposal…)Apr 2, 2013 at 5:10 pm #1972132

I don't know the answer but I think it is an excellent question. Hopefully Tim Marshal will weigh in. Have you emailed him? I don't see any reason why it wouldn't work (if you can get the zippers that mate.) Jacks-r-better mentions something about it if I recall correctly.Apr 2, 2013 at 6:00 pm #1972141

what about using omni tape to serve the purpose of the zipper. cheaper, probably lighter, and you could do it yourself instead of paying someone to put a zipper on your bag…Apr 3, 2013 at 6:18 am #1972280
Yes, I have asked TIm and it should definitely work. What I'm wondering is whether anyone else has tried it. The trick is finding the right balance between space to move around and snugness to block drafts. Whatever we end up with needs to be comfortable down to 15-20 degrees F.
The Exped quilt is interesting but not warm enough for my purposes–it's rated to 45 I believe?
The Feathered Friends Spoonbill seems really nice; like a quilt, there's no insulation on the bottom, but it is bag-shaped so it doesn't shift the way a quilt can. But it's not cheap, especially considering we would both still need solo bags/quilts for solo trips.Apr 3, 2013 at 8:09 am #1972302

I have used a ray-way synthetic double quilt with my girlfriend for most of our recent trips. However, after several nights below freezing we have vowed not to use the double quilt for anything below 30F. It is just too drafty. Our current system is two EE down quilts. The beauty of this system is versatility. We can share a footbox or have our own. We could even have entirely separate bags if we need to. We could also snuggle really close and just double layer the quilts if we are really cold. I haven't tried this system in anything too cold yet, but it seems promising to us. However, one thing that didn't work was trying to make an enormous footbox by zipping two quilts together. They mate up just fine, but the zipper was a drafty cold spot. Make sure to get a baffle along the zipper if you go this route. We also tried using the included tabs on the EE quilts to make one enormous quilt, but found that it was just way too large. Simple overlapping has worked just fine for us.Apr 3, 2013 at 9:11 am #1972319
DougBPL Member
Hmmmmm. I say again, hmmmmmm.
The draft issue always seems to come up in these conversations. I wonder if the following could ameliorate that (and assumes you have two, mated sleeping pads as well):
Both quilts unzip to flat and have slightly more robust bungie to cinch the footbox closed. So you can zip both quilts together from the very bottom, and zip the 'far' sides together to form a footbox, connect the bungies on the inside zip, and then pull the bungies on the outsides to close off the bottom. You now have a double footbox.
On the inside edge of the quilts (the edge that mates to the other quilt), there are cord attachments under the zipper midway up and at the top. When it's really drafty, attach those to your own sleeping mats so your quilts come down around your own body more. On warmer or less drafty nights you wouldn't need to do this and could enjoy snuggling instead.

My wife and I have used our RayWay double quilt down to about 15 degF inside a tent (here actually two quilts, one on top of the other), and routinely in tarps or leanto's to below freezing. We've had little problem with drafts, but note that our quilts incorporate "draft-stoppers" (a flap of fabric running along the edge of the quilt), and we also wear base layer tops and bottoms when it gets cold, along with a warm hat.
Our worst problem with drafts occurred in an ADK leanto. We were cold all night from drafts. In the morning I realized the drafts were coming up from the floor! From then on in colder weather we used a ground sheet under our pads in leanto's and the problem disappeared.Apr 3, 2013 at 7:22 pm #1972585

@richardglyonLocale: Bridger Mountains
Good question, and I surely don't have the definitive answer except for (d) below, which is even more expensive than most couple's bags. Here is what I have tried:
(a) Western Mountaineering semi-rectangular bag [was the Aspen when I owned it, but I think it's been renamed] and Summer Coupler. OK down to about freezing. Could go lower with a stouter WM bag but mine (Sequoia – 20 years old) didn't mate with the coupler.
(b) Nunatak Back Country Blanket. See my review of this at http://tinyurl.com/7slg7h Works in 50 F+ weather and down to freezing "only if the users are close friends neither of whom is a blanket hog."
(c) Tim Marshall couples-specific bag. A fellow BGT member very kindly sent me his. Similar to Nunatak's couples' quilts but shorter and narrower. Used at 20 F, with each of us wearing a down sweater. A bit cramped.
(d) Two Back Country Blankets, discussed in the addendum to my review cited above. The best option but REALLY expensive unless you're as lucky as I was in scoring two at bargain prices.
This is a gear issue highly dependent upon how each of you sleep – hot or cold, close or slightly apart, dead to the world or restless all night.
If you find your solution, please advise!May 28, 2014 at 2:10 am #2106452
I'm resurrecting an old thread here because I'm interested to see if anyone has any more insights into the issue of mating two separate sleeping systems together.
My wife and I both want quilts and would like to find a flexible system that works well both separately and together.
I currently have my eye on some Enlightened Equipment quilts, but I still don't quite know how we'd mate these together.
Has anyone tried the method talked about above of zipping two drawstring footbox quilts together to make one big double footbox with both drawstrings cinched tight? It seems to me like this "double footbox" might be too narrow since it's all coming together at a point right down the middle between the two sleepers. Maybe those fears are unfounded though?
Then the question is how to connect the two quilts down the midline higher up as well. Hmmm… I wish somebody would make an elegant, lightweight, modular system to accomplish being able to comfortably sleep together, or separately.
Nobody has seemed to hit this one out of the park yet. Are there just not that many couples demanding this?May 28, 2014 at 11:12 am #2106567
J MagMember
I've heard this is how Tim puts out new quilts so quickly. Just leave two in a room for a night and there's a third in there the next day.
Although I've heard complaints that the male quilts often end up with too much overstuff and the fabric on the female quilts can make them quite noisy.May 28, 2014 at 2:32 pm #2106653

What do you get from two mating quilts? Small pillows maybe?
More seriously though – controlling a flat quilt is difficult. My wife and I find having a foot box solves that problem perfectly. And that lets me layer our two quilts over the two of us if it gets very cold. Light-weight summer quilts pushed down to -7 C once. We snuggled, and were warm.

"My wife and I find having a foot box solves that problem perfectly. And that lets me layer our two quilts over the two of us if it gets very cold."
Can you explain this in a little more detail. I'm not sure I fully understand what you mean by layering the quilts. Are the quilts simply partially overlapped in the gap between you and your wife, or are they completely stacked on top of one another and then you drape that over both of you together?May 30, 2014 at 10:27 am #2107201
After a lot of market research, we went with a Feathered Friends Penguin Nano 20 plus coupler. It is crazy-cozy-warm, we love the shell fabric, and its specs suited our needs a tiny bit better than the WM Ponderosa or Alder. A custom Nunatak BCB was also a top contender, but ultimately warmth won out over minimalism. We both sleep cold. For warm summer nights when drafts aren't an issue, we're sticking with two separate summerweight quilts.
This was a year ago, mind you, so I don't remember the whole decision-making process. Suffice to say, a spreadsheet was made and the Penguin came out on top in terms of fill-dollar-ounce ratio.
It's bulky, not the lightest, but it is palatial and comfortable and extremely warm. The coupler sheet is awesome; it solves the problem of pad drift–that little gap you get in between two sleeping pads as they shift during the night.
We've also discovered that this set-up (with two cushy inflatable mattresses) makes a great guest bed for those of us too minimalist to furnish the extra bedroom… ;-)
Our quilt-mating experiments did not produce any down (or synthetic) offspring, but we did somehow end up with a human baby. Currently 13 weeks old and 15+ lbs, he no longer qualifies as UL.May 30, 2014 at 2:50 pm #2107282

Hi Derek
> "My wife and I find having a foot box solves that problem perfectly. And that lets me
> layer our two quilts over the two of us if it gets very cold."
Imagine each of us with a quilt with a foot box, sleeping side by side. My feet in my foot box, etc. There would be a fair bit of quilt bunched up between us, going to waste.
When it is cold I push my quilt off me and slip under my wife's quilt – or pull the side of it over me. Her feet stay in her foot box. Her quilt may not cover me fully, but it does cover a fair bit of me. Then I flip my quilt over the two of us as well. We end up with two layers of quilt on TOP of us, and each of us has a full-length 'hot water bottle' snuggled up against us.
Some winter trips, we each take our summer quilts plus a down over-quilt covering the two of us. Same idea, and very warm.

Your picture has piqued my interest. Do you have an more pictures showing the different couples configurations afforded with full length omnitape?
Also, how are drafts best managed in between the two sleepers when coupling two FLOP quilts?

You also do very well picking color combos. I know you don't think so, but I've liked all your choices. It can be a bit of a time-consuming struggle to find the "right" matches. Sometimes when I think I've picked a winning combination of colors, the colors look a bit crappy together in the finished block. As Anne said recently, it is getting harder and harder to find "new" fabric combinations from existing stash; from that standpoint, it's a good thing we're almost finished.Originally Posted by janRN

I read with interest the debate around the government support for the car industry. Although I support the local industry, there is little or no discussion on the other massive protection afforded to our car makers. In the nineties, the government introduced parallel importing restrictions on grey motor car imports based on lobbying by the car industry.
This restriction means that it protects not only local manufacturers by allowing pricing of imported cars to be artificially high, in some cases 300 per cent, but also allows non-manufacturers/ importers to have massive margins.
Importers state the high cost of their vehicles is due to luxury car tax and Australia's low-volume market. Remember, there is about 15 per cent tax on any car import in Australia (duty and GST). A VW Touareg in the United States is $42,350; in the United Arab Emirates it is $41,000 and in Australia it is $72,000 (all figures in AUD).
Wake up Australian government – remove the parallel and grey importing restrictions and don't listen to importers about safety issues with parallel imports. It is about margin and protectionism with grey imports. Australia has parity with the US dollar, give all Australians a fair go.

KG suzuki planet auto mall37-21 Northern Blvd Long Island City, New York USA
KG suzuki planet auto mall Amron finance manager Has yet to refund me my $3500 for a warranty that I cancelled Long Island City New York
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
I purchased a BMW 335i x drive from KG suzuki on 01/15/13. The car was a good price but then came the add ons $2300 for a 160 point certification that was supposed to make the car like a new car with 160 items checked off on a sheet of paper which is all it was because tha car needed brakes, the cup holder was cracked off on the dash board, the tpms light was on and was broken, the front grill was cracked, the side marker light covers were cracked, the tow hook cover on the bumper was missing, all 4 rims were chipped and had curb rash.
When I brought this to the attention of the salesman he said they would take care of it but that didn't happen, but I was still
charged the $2300 certification fee that was a ripoff in itself but that is not my main problem with this dealership. In the finance office Amron the finance manager is telling me I need to get gap insurance, some glass etching done for anti theft and I needed to buy a warranty in order for me to get financing from the bank for $3500 at this point I just signed the paperwork because a was so tierd an fed up because I was there for about 6 hours or more.
I believe this is a tactic they purposefully use so people just sign their lives away because they just want to go home.
Anyway, the next day I looked over my paperwork and it states in the warranty paperwork that you do not need to purchase the warranty to obtain financing. I filled out the cancellation form and sent it to GWC warrany company certified mail on 02/13/13 I did not hear anything from them and didnt follow up so I assumed they were not going to cancel it because of some other issue so I kind of just forgot about it and excepted that I got screwed and lesson learned.
So today I was looking at my warranty paperwork and I realized I do not have ID cards. I called gwc today 8/27/13 to ask for my ID cards and the woman said that my warranty was cancelled as of 04/01/13 and the money was refunded to KG Suzuki.
It has been 5 months and I have not recieved my refund of $3500 from Amron the finance manager at KG Suzuki or any paperwork regarding the cancelation of my warranty. I called the dealership twice today to speak with him but of course he was not available and they took down my number and he never called me back. I will call again today and if I don't get to speak to him I will go there in person tomorrow.
Please do yourselves a favor and stay far far away from this place. If I don't get this resolved soon go guess I will have no choice but to take them to court.

I'm a handicapped Irag Veteran. I called Motel West for reservations. I asked for first floor and ADA compliant showers. I was assured by staff it would be available. When I arrived, I was given a room key for the second floor. I tried to make other accomodations, but everything was booked. I ended up crawling on my knees and hands (lost both lower legs to an IED in Iraq) up the stairs and through a crowd of people laughing at me. I suppose the only thing I can say positive is that the rooms were generally clean. The hallway was dirty. The internet didn't work. I just expect a little more for the sacrifices I made.

New Braunfels Herald Zeitung (Newspaper) - March 23, 2011, New Braunfels, Texas STAAR CONTINUED FROM Page 1 begins next year. Assessments, implementation and accountability were the topics of the 30-minute discussion. Pursch said there will be varying assessment and performance measurements under STAAR, which will be implemented in stages over the next few years. "It's a constantly moving target, and we're trying to get better in our understanding of it to get the kids ready for it," Pursch said. Satisfactory performance standards will be phased in over several years. Highest performing standards, including career readiness standards for courses like Algebra II and English III, will be applied when the system becomes fully operational in 2012. All performance standards will be reviewed every three years. Modified and alternate assessments will be developed for STAAR that are very complex and detailed. Some adjustments also will be made for English language learners in grades 3-8. Spanish versions of STAAR for grades 3-5 will be implemented in spring 2012. Testing days under STAAR will increase because there will be more assessments required of students. The test may be timed, which will be a big change, Pursch said. The current Texas Assessment of Academic Knowledge and Skills (TAKS) test takes up about 25 testing days. STAAR will test in the fall, spring and summer, requiring up to 45 testing days when folly implemented. TAKS will be phased out over the next three years. Students now in grades 3-9 will see it end in 2011 and grade 10 in 2012. The final primary administration of exit-level TAKS will be administered in spring 2013. Wednesday, March 23, 2011 — Herald-Zeitung — Page 5 The first reports and ratings under STAAR will be issued in two tiers. STAAR assessments for grades 3-8 will be developed in 2011-12 and implemented in 2012-13. Accountability ratings will not be released concerning the 2011-12 school year while the new system is being developed. Following 2012-13, campuses will be rated as acceptable or unacceptable. It will take at least until after the 2013-14 school year before data from STAAR — and corresponding information from state and federal systems — will be able to compute campus performance ratings and designations. LIBYA CONTINUED FROM Page 1 at a news conference in El Salvador as he neared the end of a Latin American trip overshadowed by events in Libya. Gadhafi, meanwhile, made his first public appearance in a week, promising enthusiastic supporters at his residential compound in Tripoli, "In the short term, we'll beat them, in the long term, we'll beat them." Libyan state TV broadcast what it said was live coverage of Gadhafi's less-than-five-minute statement. Standing on a balcony, he denounced the coalition bombing attacks on his forces. "O great Libyan people, you have to live now, this time of glory, this is a time of glory that we are living,''he said. State TV said Gadhafi was speaking from his Bab Al-Aziziya residential compound, the same one hit by a cruise missile Sunday night. Reporters were not allowed to enter the compound as he spoke. Heavy anti-aircraft fire and loud explosions sounded in Iripoli after nightfall, possibly a new attack in the international air campaign that so far has focused on military targets. One of Gadhafi's sons may have been killed, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton told ABC News on Ttiesday. BULLYING CONTINUED FROM Page 1 response methods. "It's incumbent upon all of us,'' Davis said. "If we see something happening where young people in alarming numbers are taking their own lives, then we must get involved." Barbara Paris, a principal in Round Rock Independent School District testified that many educators feel like they've been left empty-handed when it comes to methods of effectively dealing with bullying. "I felt like I had no back bone at my disposal to deal with cyber bullying," said Paris, who's been an educator for more than 30 years. "Kids won't speak up because they're afraid nothing will happen when they report bullying. "The only way we can change that is if we have a law that backs us." The anti-bullying bills before the Senate committee expand the definition of bullying to specifically address electronic methods such as tex-ting and Facebook posts. "In this day and age, bullying is 24/7," said AnneWynne, co-chair of Equality Texas and chair of Atticus Circle. San Antonio Gun Show!

"We go through and we pick out the ones that have the highest or worst offense (from felony warrants)," Wommack said. So who has the distinction of putting the county's 10 Most Wanted over the 600- apprehension mark? That would be Erin Lee McCutchen, on a charge of evading arrest or detention with a vehicle; Charlotte Lynn Phillips, on a charge of fraud use or possession of false identifying information and credit card or debit card abuse; Brandon Reina, on a charge of tampering with physical evidence; Johnny Torres Rico, on a charge of driving while intoxicated with a child passenger; Katherine Sue Wahrmund, on a charge of credit card or debit card abuse; and Jason Bernard Wheeler, on a charge of forgery of a financial instrument.

The deep wall is one of the improvements planned to strengthen the design of the dam, which has been long delayed due to design con- cems and other issues. • Consider allocating $1,000 to cover costs for a website and travel for the Justice Center Steering Committee, which has been meeting since December to investigate whether the county needs a more secure facility for judges, juries and attorneys.

Paris wwwj BUDGET CONTINUED FROM Page 1 "The first is to declare a financial exigency, which will allow us to reduce our personnel force without regard to probationary contracts... it's not what we should consider at this point." The board accepted Moczygemba's second option, which is to wait for the I legislature to delay when school districts can offer those contracts, which is currently 45 days before the end of the school year. One bill would postpone that offering until the last school day; another would move the notice to 15 days following the end of the school year. "If we do get a bill passed which lets us know of the impact it would have on our budget, then we may be able to take action on the probationary contracts," Moczygemba said. "We're buying time until our special meeting on April 7. If one of those bills does not pass by then, we will know what action to take." That action would be to not offer the contracts, then hope to hire those personnel back before the start of the school year. Moczygemba recommended more cuts in operations, which now exceed $1.8 million. He said two projections involving versions of House Bill 1, however, have also increased NBISD's loss by at least another million beginning next year. "What we're projecting now is an $8.6 million impact based on the variations of the estimates that are out there," he said. "By 2013-14, we will be forced to reduce our budget by $5.3 million dollars in the first year of that biennium. We really won't have the available fund balance to contribute without jeopardizing our cash flow." Moczygemba pointed out the district's savings moves in recent years. (Consolidating bus routes saved $210,000 in transportation; reducing technology personnel saved another $400,000; the move to block scheduling at the high school saved $970,000; and adopting a more effective energy policy has saved $4(X),000 since 2008. Also Monday, the board: •Tabled a proposal to spend $250,000 of 2010 bond project money for renovations at the Lducation Center Annex, trustees Rob Johnson and Sherry Harrison said they wanted more time to study the plan before committing funds. • Accepted a $4,000 donation by the Jack and Sally llirpin Foundation to OakRun Middle School for technological improvements. • Approved the district-wide Textbook Committee's requisition recommendations for 2011. • Approved extending the current contract for the NBISD auditor. • Heard an update on construction of the new middle school, which was reported to be ahead of schedule.

Let's Talk About Sect
"This was an affluent crowd, far different from the mostly low-income Shiites who took to the streets to demand a constitutional monarchy, an elected government and a representative Parliament. The air was scented with perfume, and people drove expensive cars," writes Michael Slackman of the New York Times, describing a pro-status quo government self-described "Unity" demonstration held in Bahrain on Monday.
With repeated reference to Bahrain's sectarian divide in local and international media (some variation of the tagline "Bahrain has a 70% Shia population ruled by a Sunni ruling family" has rolled along the ticker of almost every major TV news network), and anti-government protesters insisting on Shia-Sunni unity (a cry also parroted by pro-government crowds), it's worthwhile then to follow the trail of this mysterious scent a little further.
First, some facts. The majority of Bahrainis are Shia, who are estimated to make up 70% of the local population. The majority of pro-reform/anti-government demonstrators at the Pearl Roundabout are Bahraini Shia. True, also, that Bahrain is ruled by a Sunni royal family, and that the majority of participants at pro-government rallies held over the past week appear to be Bahraini Sunnis.
As Slackman and a few other commentators have pointed out, the 'Sunni' and 'Shia' hashtags certainly reflect a disparity in wealth while suggesting only a difference in sect. The BBC describes the Mercedes and Humvees at the "luxury car protest" pro-government rally, while a discerning tweeter from the Pearl Roundabout asks, "Most of the cars here in #lulu are pre-2000 models, I wonder what was the case in #fateh [site of pro-government rally]?"
This is not to say that being Bahraini and Shia is always synonymous with being poor or disenfranchised. As many pro-status quo commentators will point out, Bahrain is home to economically powerful Shia families and high-ranking Shia government officials. It is also not to say that all Bahraini Sunnis are rich; a drive to the Huneiniyah valley bordering the affluent area of Riffa (where much of the royal family resides) will take you through neighborhoods characterized by the issues raised by pro-reform demonstrators, including poverty, bad infrastructure, inadequate housing, and poor school facilities.
But the facts of the matter speak for themselves. Corruption, crony capitalism and lack of transparency add up to uneven development and a vast disparity in wealth in a country so small, that five minutes away from glass towers of international banking centers and royal palaces you find yourself among the crumbling walls and crowded streets of Bahrain's villages. By and large, Bahrain's Shia are losing out on the country's economic boom, which affords it one of the highest GDP per capita in the world. But if the current uprising is just a matter of the underclass, how come the hundreds of thousands of migrant workers who make up the socially invisible strata of Bahrain's working class, along with Sunni have-nots, have not joined the pro-reformers at Rearl Roundabout?
What this reflects, to a large extent, is the success of the Bahraini regime's strategy to deal with challenges to its legitimacy by promoting and reinforcing identity politics within a system of privileges where certain groups and individuals are favored over others. In a word: discrimination.
So yes, the Shia represent the majority of pro-reform anti-government protesters because they are the majority of the population - but also because the government actively discriminates against them. The big pearl elephant in the living room would tell you if it could that while Bahraini Shia make up around two-thirds of the population, their rulers, the majority of the government, military, and business leaders are Sunni. Bahrain's political, social and economic system operates by offering privileges and "wasta" to some, at the expense of the rights of others. In this way, the government maintains separation between Bahrain's communal groups (Baharna, Arab, Howala, Ajam, Asians) and discourages citizens from associating with each other on a national basis – which has posed a real challenge to the regime in the past.
This 'divide and rule' politic was developed by the Al Khalifa and its allies after they settled in Bahrain in the 18th century, appropriated land from the indigenous Shia owners and effectively made them into peasants. Even then, the regime operated with the assistance of a number of Shia families who they employed as ministers or tax collectors. Still today, high ranking government positions are disproportionately awarded to members of the Al Khalifa family, or other Sunni allies, and a few handpicked Shia representatives are given seats of power.
Continuing a discriminatory tradition set by imperial Britain during Bahrain's time as a British protectorate (when police were recruited from British-colonized India), the Bahraini regime today relies on defense from imported mercenaries, while Bahraini Shia are denied the right to serve in their own armed forces. The Bahraini Defense Force remains the domain of the royal family and the descendants of its tribal allies, as well as the foreign mercenaries. Contention over discrimination has now developed into a row over illegal political naturalization of these personnel as well as others. Government statistics from 2008 showed an annual population increase of 41%, and a 15% increase in the number of citizens (13.6% higher than the previous year).
Another form of discrimination practiced by the Bahrain government is electoral gerrymandering. In past elections, the Shia-dominated Northern Governorate of more than 91,000 voters elected nine members of parliament. In the Sunni-dominated Southern Governorate only 16,000 voters elected six. This is in addition to the already weighty tome the detention of hundreds of Shia protesters last year, and the prolific arrest of 23 Shia citizens charged with forming a 'terror network' to overthrow the government. The 23 men, many of them members of the Haq Movement of Liberties and Democracy (an opposition group that boycotts elections), were charged under the widely criticized anti-terror law. The highly publicized trial was preceded by the release of suspects' names and photographs to national media outlets by the governmental Bahrain News Agency. They have been released as of Tuesday (February 22) in a concession to the current uprising, confirming suspicions that the case was politically motivated and gives another example of the government's oppressive policies towards its opponents.
The sectarian divide therefore stems from economic disparity and the denial of civil rights. A better way to understand the current uprising is as a movement for civil rights and liberties. The demands are for transition from a system of privileges for a few at the expense of the many towards a system of greater rights for all. That is presumably why the Shia-dominated 'cannot-haves' of the anti-government, pro-reform crowds appear to have crossed the sectarian rift and drawn in Bahrainis from a range of political platforms including liberals, seculars and human rights activists.
This is not to say that there are no sectarian elements within both the anti-government camp and the pro-government rallies. But at this point there appears to be a larger calling for less economic disparity and more rights, which has to some extent managed to cut through the boundaries of the Shia-Sunni political divide in Bahrain. A good illustration of the class element is the position of the affluent upper-middle class 'Nido' youth. While some are part of the Pearl roundabout pro-reform opposition, many more it seems have awoken from their apolitical reverie to participate in the pro-government rally, in bewildered protest that, "this [complaints of the protesters] is not the Bahrain we know," – well, because, it isn't.
Suffice to say then, that it's not so much the 'haves' and 'have-nots' but the 'have' and 'cannot-haves' battling for Bahrain's future today.
Caveat Emptor
In terms of 'conciliatory gestures' by the government, what Bahrain needs now is not publicity stunts supported by the privileged and grateful supporters of the government proclaiming "Unity". This is little more than a PR exercise to relegate the issue of a deeply flawed and potentially failing political system, by window-dressing real sectarian discrimination with a glossy banner (book and video) calling for Sunni and Shia to unite. It has been a long winter of discontent in the wider Middle East; and the sweeping changes this spring have not escaped Bahrain's imagination. The outcome right now looks uncertain, but one thing is for sure - it is not the demands of the pro-reform protesters at Pearl roundabout, but the Bahrain government's rule by repression and discrimination that is pushing this country towards a "sectarian abyss".

Finally, something well written and sensible. Well done.
spot on.
couldn't ve written it more accurately...
Truth very well written.
I second tht. well written. unbiased.
Do you think that had the Shia people were in power they would give equal rights to Sunnis? I think not.
Jesse- on what basis do you make that claim? what are you referencing or from where do you get your evidence?
Shia's do not have a problem with you. It is you that has a problem with them... and you should ask yourself why you think that?

Quote of the Week: Joe and Julia Myer
We can't thank ADS enough for helping arrange a truly memorable and wonderful safari. We brought home so many great memories – and pictures. We've received many great comments on the pictures we've shared with our friends and family, and all I can say in response is, "imagine what it must have been like to be there, to be in front of that leopard, to chase that cheetah running after a gazelle, to watch that bird swallow a snake whole, to see the 6 lion cubs laying with their mom…" And those stories are just the tip of the ice berg of what we saw and experienced. We couldn't have asked for a better person to work with during the planning stages, a better host upon arrival to Tanzania, or a better driver guide to lead us on all our adventures. From the time we first contacted ADS to plan our trip to the final goodbye as we entered the airport to come home, we were treated respectfully and at times felt like family. I most definitely would recommend ADS to my friends and family as they were an absolute pleasure to work with. Thank you for a truly wonderful safari – Asante Sana!

To the collection of avian influenza viruses known to sporadically infect humans – H5N1, H7N9, H7N2, H7N3, H7N7, H9N2, and H10N7 – we can now add H10N8, recently found in two individuals in China. Avian influenza virus H10N8 was first detected in tracheal aspirates from a 73 year old woman who was hospitalized in November 2013 for severe respiratory illness. The patient, who died, had previously visited a live poultry market. A second infection with this virus was detected in January 2014.

Day 4 at the PokerStars Caribbean Adventure Main Event saw some massive changes in the order as the field of 78 players all tried their best to finish the day as one of the 20 survivors. That meant we had to see 58 of them head out of the event, but at least they all made a profit by cashing.
The new leader after Day 4 is Madis Muur on 3,515,000 though with a former EPT champion in Mike McDonald right on his tail with 3,432,000.
Glad I made it out of that washroom, 2/20 going into tmrw. Ran silly hot all day
— Mike McDonald (@MikeMcDonald89) January 12, 2014
Right behind those two in the top ten is the likes of Antoine Saout, Max Silver and Fabian Ortiz, which means Day 5 is already promising to be a tight affair. The leaders are not too far in front and a double up is enough to put anyone in the top seven right at the top of the pile.
5/20 with 2.359m chips going into day 5 of #PCAMain Thanks everyone for all the support means alot. Locked up $70,700 playing to 8 tomorrow.
— Max Silver (@max_silver) January 12, 2014
It was a bad day for some at the tables on Day 4, as out went Liv Boeree, Angel Guillen, Marcel Luske and Vanessa Selbst who actually started the day as one of the chip leaders.
Lost TT < AQ to bust. Not my day for flips. Gl everyone.
— Vanessa Selbst (@VanessaSelbst) January 11, 2014
Got up to 600k then lost a 1.2m pot all in pre with QQ vs AK. Still, had a great run and finished 50th. Thanks for all your support! #PCA10
— Liv Boeree (@Liv_Boeree) January 11, 2014
Some of those who were eliminated jumped straight into the PCA High Roller such as Vanessa Selbst, so they didn't have too much time to dwell on being sent out of this event.
Day 5 will charge the remaining 20 players to get themselves firmly planted onto the official final table of eight. This is where the big money starts coming in and the players can star realistically believing they have a shot at an EPT Main Event title.
The Current Top Ten
1st) Madis Muur – 3,515,000
2nd) Mike McDonald – 3,432,000
