Decision makers
- Chambersburg Borough Council
Reinstate the Chambersburg Police Department Special Emergency Team
On Monday September 9th, 2013 in a 5-3 vote Chambersburg Borough Council successfully disbanded the Chambersburg Police Department's Special Emergency Team otherwise known as "SWAT". For 22 years this team has been silently vigilant within the Borough of Chambersburg, constantly prepared to respond at a moments notice to a multitude of high risk situations.
Chambersburg Borough Council's reasoning for disbanding the team is that; "It's a matter of a policy decision to see where our assets are going to be focused for the greater good." According to the motion, the resources used in the team, such as time and training, should be dedicated to patrolling, including foot patrol and bike patrol.
The Special Emergency Team was formed in order to handle high risk incidents in which "normal patrolling" such as foot and bike patrol could not handle. This includes high risk warrants, active shooters, school shootings, hostage rescue and suicidal subjects. Most police experts agree that a systematic response to critical incidents dramatically improve the odds for successful resolutions of those incidents. Foot patrol will not improve those same odds.
A call is being placed to everyone to please sign this petition in support of maintaining the Chambersburg Police Department's Special Emergency Team and ask the Chambersburg Borough Council to rescind their disbandment.

US STOCKS-Futures rise after 4-week run; factory orders due
* Euro zone manufacturing picks up in October
* Weyerhaeuser selling homebuilding division for $2.7 bln
* U.S. factory orders data on tap
* Futures up: Dow 35 pts, S&P 4 pts, Nasdaq 12.75 pts
By Chuck Mikolajczak
NEW YORK, Nov 4 (Reuters) - U.S. stock index futures advanced on Monday, indicating the S&P 500 will continue to rise after four straight weeks of gains that have left the index at its latest record high.
* The benchmark S&P index has risen 4.2 percent over the past four weeks as the partial U.S. government shutdown in October pushed back expectations for the Federal Reserve to begin curtailing its stimulus measures into the first quarter of 2014.
* But recent manufacturing data has come in stronger than expected, lending weight to the possibility the economy could handle an earlier-than-expected tapering of the central bank's bond-buying program.
* Adding to the optimism, a survey on Monday showed euro zone manufacturing activity accelerated in October as new orders increased for the fourth month in a row, although strong competition left factories with scant room to raise prices. Continued...

The Mountaineer Park HBPA's mission is to foster a healthy economic and legislative climate, preserve the rights of its members and promote the sport of Thoroughbred Racing in West Virginia.
Mountaineer Park HBPA represents more than 1,400 members. Their investment in the thoroughbred racing industry contributes more than $93.3 million in business volume to the state's economy. The thoroughbred racing industry provides more than 1,899 jobs directly and indirectly.
Our members own more than 25 farms in Hancock County and are a vital part of the local community. Behind the scenes of racing at Mountaineer Park is the backstretch. A community comprised of trainers, owners, jockeys, exercise riders, grooms, hotwalkers, veterinarians and farriers, who start work in the early morning hours and work seven days a week to care for these majestic animals known as thoroughbreds. This community takes care of its members through benevolence, retirement and healthcare programs.
The investment the men and women of thoroughbred racing have made in the state of West Virginia is enormous. They invested in breeding and racing stock and built barns, houses and businesses based on the promises the West Virginia Legislature made to protect and promote racing when they approved Racetrack Video Lottery. We are committed to preserving the tradition of thoroughbred racing in West Virginia.
We welcome your comments and support as we move forward. Please see the board members and committees listed on the board of directors page along with their contact information.

Comment of the Day: Skanks 'r' Us Edition
We have some great commenters here on Hair Balls, and it's time we paid some damn attention to them.
So we'll be highlighting a Comment of the Day each morning or afternoon from the previous day's work. Maybe two comments, even.
This will all be determined by a highly rigorous scientific formula involving wit, clarity and whatever else we feel like at the moment.
Sean Pendergast often digs deep to bring us the dirt on things that are almost sports, but not quite...like New England Patriots tight end (ahem) Rob Gronkowski's porn star buddy retiring from porn. If you haven't read his dissection of her tearful farewell, complete with reference to Eckhart Tolle (yowza), you should. A number of people already have and some even left comments, like this one.

I am debating three atheists at once, I made an open challenge to atheists to debate my Cosmological argument. They are outnumbered but I'm taking it easy on them.;-)
This week, I want to share a discussion that has been going on over at the Atheism-Analyzed blog:
They have been having an interesting discussion about the Hartle-Hawking state:
Here is an excerpt from Stan's article:
The procedure to evaluate anything Hawking et al say is to list all of the serial assumptions which are made and which have to be "the case" in order for his theories to be valid, and then to see at which of the assumptions empirical validation automatically cease, leaving the theory to be a bedtime story for physicist speculators.
This theory is no different.
OK, first off it is not the Wave Theory of the Universe, it is Wave Theory Within an Infinite Multiverse which is both external to our universe, and contains our universe.
And they put him in a purple robe Mark 5:17 they dressed him with a purple robe
Matt 27:28 they stripped him and put a scarlet robe upon him
Luke 23:11 they put a shining garment on him
John 19:2 and arrayed him in a purple robe
And sat him on the judgment seat and said judge righteously o King of Israel. John 19:13 and he sat down on the judgment seat
And one f them brought a crown of thorns and put it on his head Mark 27:15 /Matt 27-19 and plaiting a crown of thorns John 19:2 and the soldiers plaited a crown of thorns and put it on his head.
"The Gospel of Peter, as a whole, is not dependent upon any of the canonical gospels. It is a composition which is analogous to the Gospel of Mark and John. All three writings, independently of each other, use older passion narrative which is based upon an exegetical tradition that was still alive when these gospels were composed and to which the Gospel of Matthew also had access. All five gospels under consideration, Mark, John, and Peter, as well as Matthew and Luke, concluded their gospels with narratives of the appearances of Jesus on the basis of different epiphany stories that were told in different contexts. However, fragments of the epiphany story of Jesus being raised form the tomb, which the Gospel of Peter has preserved in its entirety, were employed in different literary contexts in the Gospels of Mark and Matthew."[18]
Imagine two British gentlemen sitting in an English garden engaging in conversation about the Queen's knights. The first makes the assertion, "All of the Queen's knights have been brave."
The second, a more circumspect individual, responds, "But what about Sir Robin? He wasn't brave at all."
"Well," responds the first, "that's because he wasn't a true knight."
What, if anything, is wrong with the response of the first British Gentlemen? Anyone familiar with the ongoing debate between Christians and Atheist/Skeptics on the Internet probably believes that the first of these two gentlemen has committed the "No True Scotsman" Fallacy. If you are unfamiliar with the fallacy, it probably means that you have not been engaging in these types of debates because it is almost never used anywhere else. There is a reason for that: it really isn't much of a fallacy. Perhaps I should say that the "No True Scotsman" Fallacy is No True Fallacy, but that would be a little harsh.
For those unfamiliar, the "No True Scotsman" Fallacy seems to be increasing in popularity over the Internet and is usually raised when a Christian claims that some bad person who has somehow claimed to be a Christian is not really a Christian, e.g., Adolph Hitler. A good, lengthy description of the "No True Scotsman" Fallacy can be found in an article by that same name on a atheist website entitled IronChariots.org. A less comprehensive but still informative version can be found on a website titled "Logically Fallacious" where the fallacy is given the following description:
Description: When a universal ("all", "every", etc.) claim is refuted, rather than conceding the point or meaningfully revising the claim, the claim is altered by going from universal to specific, and failing to give any objective criteria for the specificity.
Logical Form:All X are Y.
(it is clearly refuted that all X are not Y)
Then all true X are Y.
Example #1: In 2011, Christian broadcaster, Harold Camping, (once again) predicted the end of the world via Jesus, and managed to get many Christians to join his alarmist campaign. During this time, and especially after the Armageddon date had passed, many Christian groups publicly declared that Camping is not a "true Christian".
Christian: Christians wouldn't kill millions of people.
Atheist: What about Hitler? He said he was Christian and was a member of the Roman Catholic Church.
Christian: Hitler wasn't a true Christian.
Atheist: Well, you've just committed the "No True Scotsman" Fallacy, which means that you have lost the argument.
Christian: No Christian would hate a homosexual.
Atheist: What about Fred Phelps? He and his church picket at funerals claiming that "God hates fags."
Christian (seeing the "No True Scotsman" Fallacy about to be inaccurately applied): So, do you think that Fred Phelps is a Christian?
Atheist: Of course he's a Christian, he's the pastor of a Baptist church.
Christian (now having a clearer understanding of what the Atheist/Skeptic believes to be the definition of Christian): That's interesting, because I think that being a Christian is more than merely being the member or even the Pastor of a Church, don't you? I mean, if you were to decide to join a church but still didn't believe in God, would you automatically be a Christian?
It is the original pre-theoretical consciousness...Schleiermacher believes that theoretical cognition is founded upon pre-theoretical inter subjective cognition and its life world. The latter cannot be dismissed as non-cognative for if the life world praxis is non-cognitive and invalid so is theoretical cognition..He...contends that belief in God is pre-theoretical, it is not the result of proofs and demonstration, but is conditioned solely by the modification of feeling of utter dependence. Belief in God is not acquired through intellectual acts of which the traditional proofs are examples, but rather from the thing itself, the object of religious experience..If as Shchleiermacher...says God is given to feeling in an original way this means that the feeling of utter dependence is in some sense an apparition of divine being and reality. This is not meant as an appeal to revelation but rather as a naturalistic eidetic or a priori. The feeling of utter dependence is structured by a correlation with its whence. [4]
This conclusion might be somewhat deflating for apologists, but there are two of caveats that might make it more palatable: (1) We don't have to reduce religion to just feeling or to consciousness, we don't have toally agree with Schleiermacher, we can understand doctrines and feelings as bound up with the same reaction to reality and the consciousness that obtains from sensing it. (2) we can construe the feeling as a phenomenological approach rather than a definitive commentary upon all of reality. If affections or consciousness based upon affections are primary in belief, this does not mean that arguments are of no value since people rationalize their feelings, and arguments help to clear away the clutter and clarify feelings.
This final point about the universal nature is of particular interest, When doctrinal explanations and differences of tradition are controlled for, the experiences themselves are the same the world over. Even among atheists, those who have religious experiences respond to them in the same way that religious believers do. This might indicate that these people are all experiencing an objective reality which is external to the human brain. There is a voluminous and ancient tradition of writing about experiences by people from all over the world, who claim to have experienced the divine. Mystics and philosophers have catelogued such writings. Two of the most noteworthy examples are Mysticism by Evelyn Underhill, [17] and Teachings of the Mystics by Philosopher W.T. Stace. [18] Many other such writers have included these experiences. Thirdly, grounded in empirical evidence, the universal nature of such experiences implies a source external to the human mind. When I say "external" I mean it originates externally but is experienced internally. This includes human brain structure and brain chemistry as a conduit not that it circumvents natural processes. W.T. Stace shows that, as Ralph Hood Jr. put it, "within and eventually outside of the great faith traditions mysticism has flourished." [19]
Stace offers five characteristics that demonstrate the commonalities to mystical experience; these are characteristics that are found universally in all cultures and in all forms of mystical experience:
The contemporary interest in the empirical research of mysticism can be traced to Stace's (Stace, 1960) demarcation of the phenomenological characteristics of mystical experiences (Hood, 1975). In Stace's conceptualization, mystical experiences had five characteristics (Hood, 1985, p.176):
1. The mystical experience is noetic. The person having the eerience perceives it as a valid source of knowledge and not just a subjective experience.
2. The mystical experience is ineffable, it cannot simply be described in words.
3. The mystical experience is holy. While this is the religious aspect of the experience it is not necessarily expressed in any particular theological terms.
4. The mystical experience is profound yet enjoyable and characterized by positive affect.
5. The mystical experience is paradoxical. It defies logic. Further analysis of reported mystical experiences suggests that the one essential feature of mysticism is an experience of unity (Hood, 1985). The experience of unity involves a process of ego loss and is generally expressed in one of three ways (Hood, 1 976a). The ego is absorbed into that which transcends it, or an inward process by which the ego gains pure awareness of self, or a combination of the two. [20]

Talking cat - Lesson 2 Pheromones
They might be imperceptible to humans, but pheromones play a huge role in communication between cats. So what are pheromones, and how do cats use them?
Pheromones are chemicals secreted by cats through glands in their skin and mucus membranes. They are produced around the face, at the sides of the paws, around the anus and also the chest area. Pheromones are also present in secretions such as urine.
These chemicals are perceptible to other cats, triggering specific behavioural or physiological responses. When a cat smells another cat's pheromones, she has what is called a 'Flehman' response - mouth ajar, top lip curled back and small tongue movements. This rather odd behaviour helps to waft the pheromones to a special sensor (the vomeronasal organ) located at the bottom of the palate.
Pheromones vary by age, sex, physiological state, hormones and emotions. Every cat has their own unique 'smell'.
Soothing pheromones
Have you ever wondered why your cat rubs herself against things? This is how she distributes her pheromones - and spreading her pheromones contributes to her sense of well-being. For example, by rubbing against objects she can mark her territory, which helps her map and locate areas. Rubbing against you, scratching and urinating all also help her mark her presence by smell.
This behaviour helps her give her environment and those around her the same comforting scent. The odour soothes your cat and makes her feel safe. If she cannot do this she may become anxious, so allowing and encouraging her to exercise this behaviour is important to her well-being. Always ensure there is a scratching post available and an easily accessible litter box.

Hi all you lovely Chicks out there,how is everyone doing?All busy getting ready for Christmas like myself I guess.I was wondering if any of you Chicks know of any new Book Release in a Murder Mystery or Suspense lately?My Husband does a lot of reading, these type of novels and I was wondering if there was any new good release out there.Would appreciate it if anyone can think of one or two.Thanks.
|check out online book stores on Dec 16, 2014 @ 12:50 pm
I don't read them myself, but your best bet is to look online at Chapters or some other book store and browse the best sellers, or most popular books there.
From this list here you can see best sellers and buyer's picks. Amazon.com is a good place to see the most popular books bought too in that category. Or you might be better off just giving him a book gift card, then he can get whatever he wants. Whether it's something brand new, or maybe he wants to look for an older book he never got the chance to pick up.
Nice to hear though that your husband is a reader. I wish my husband was a reader like me. He's more into video games, which I enjoy as well, but sometimes nothing beats sitting down and getting immersed in a good book, you know?

Just once a year she comes here to walk with her bare toes skimming along the sand, pushing aside fragments of rock that were once boulders and microscopic bits of shell like she'd once run through the universe; stars, planets, asteroids and people shifted in her wake.
She watches the tide rush in to erase the path she's thus far taken, leaving her a clean slate to walk across. As it rushes back out, for just a moment, she can feel the flow of time and remembers what it was like to have it run through her.
She trails the edge of her largest toe through the sand, forming cicles and shapes she never quite understood but still new intimately. The waves wash them away and she draws them over and over again. An exercise in futility or an example of the nature of the world as she come to know it. Nothing last. Cars and concrete, broken up and chucked, worn over time and dragged over land and sea by air and water until it ends up here. A never ending expanse of canvas for artwork that lasts only seconds.
A breeze rushes in from over the water carrying the smell of salt. She breathes it in deepy, relishing the foreign scent. The wind passes over her ears, whipping her hair, and she hears distant voices and whispers of thousands of years of history flying past her. In the midst of the scattered noise she thinks she hears a voice more familiar than any other. Hears three words that were ripped apart by the wind so long ago. In the end it's only noise.
The sun is setting behind her as she turns to leave. Another day over. Another year passed. Tears spill down her cheeks and she lets them run freely. This is the only time she allows them and the only time they come.
Once a year.

Hi Larry!
As far as I know the main ingredient of these cut flower powder is sugar and
some desinfectant to prevent bacteria growth in the vase-water (smelly).
Some special ingredients could also be phyto hormones, but those are only used
by professionals to preserve flowers for exhibition (shows). Maybe one should
ask cut flower exhibitors what their tricks are?

... in paris. She tried so hard to translate everything for us even though her English wasn't that good. We didn't mind what we ordered and of course it's ok that it's in Spanish.. We are in Spain! We really liked her and the place, it had a great ambiance and played really good music too. We stayed there until about 11, by that time the place was full. We left and had a wander before heading back to our hostel, watching a movie and falling asleep.. Tomorrow we are off to ...

The third and final wonder of this cultural triple-threat is the Alcazar (another vague name, from the arabic meaning simply Palace) which is part Port Authority for the expiditions to the new world, part Islamic administration centre, part residency for paranoid catholic monarchs and part botanical garden - or at least has been all those in days gone by.

Party time
On our last full day we went to the Alpujarra region on the southern slopes of the Sierra Nevada, where we walked from the village of Bubi�n to Pampaneira. We then took a coach to the hippy village of Beneficio. After making our way back to Granada via the town of Lanjar�n, I packed my things before meeting with Teresa for a final drink before saying goodbye - what she did not know what that it was in fact a coup into a surprise ...
Rest day
We set off back to Granada in the morning and realised that from now on, we're essentially heading home (in the sense that we're travelling back towards it). This had a surprising effect on us and we started to begin looking back over our trip as if it was over, even though there are 10 days left still and plenty more to do!
We noticed when we started Walter up that there was a faint light on for the battery on the dashboard. We decided to get ...

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
I backed into someone in a parking lot while I was adjusting. I looked before i put the car in reverse and didn't see the other car. I believe the car didn't see me backing up and was preparing to park themselves as they were not there. They said that their car had no damage as it was a very slow bump. Now they are saying I have to pay and are threatening a police report.
Colorado state law requires that ALL motor vehicle accidents be reported immediately to the proper law enforcement authorities (42-4-1606 CRS). A traffic accident is defined as unintentional damage or injury caused by the movement of a vehicle or its load.
Both drivers are required to file a report. You can file a report using the Colorado Online Accident Report, found at https://crash.state.co.us/
To file a report using the State of Colorado Online Accident Report, the accident must meet each of the following criteria:
· No fatality or injury requiring medical attention was sustained by any person(s) involved in the accident, and;
· The accident is not an alleged hit and run or it is an alleged hit and run, and there is no information on the other driver involved in the accident, and;
· The accident does not involve damage to any public property other than wildlife, and:
· No drivers involved in the accident are suspected of driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, or have insurance or driver's license violations.
Generally, you have to make a police report immediately if the estimated value of the damages done exceeds certain specific amount (mostly between $500 to $1000). Making a police report is easy--in many jurisdictions you can do it over the phone for insurance purposes.

After school, these students find what happens to be a complete horror- a global epidemic spreading like wild fire. There's cannibals roaming about everywhere, feasting... killing all within reach. They have to find safety- no matter what the consequences.
Part 1 of 3
"Oh hey look, it's Sammi." Jayden chuckled. Jasmine turned around to look at me. "Where the hell did you come from?!" she yelled. I laughed and pointed at the door coming from the girl's locker room. "And here come the populars…" Jayden sighed as Destiny and Natalie walked into the gym. "Alright, everybody!" Mr. Goldstein hollered, walking to the half-court line. It's weird to think that us 13 and 14 year olds are actually learning archery.
"Alright, so since we're with a good group, we'll need to count off to who shoots at what time." Mr. Goldstein ordered, "We'll count off to four. We'll start over here." He gestured to the right end of the line and started counting everyone off. I stood between Jayden and Jasmine and couldn't wait to shoot again. "Two," Mr. Goldstein said to Jayden, then moved to me, "Three." He finished off counting and called the ones up to grab bows. Everyone started their steps to shoot properly and the three of us laid down on the gym floor and started talking.
"Twos!" Goldstein boomed. Jayden hopped up and went to go get his bow, "I call Dayanira's row." The group at the shooting line shot their three arrows and returned. It was my turn to go up. "Sammi, I believe in you..!" Jasmine said in her cutesy voice. I got my bow and began shooting. Mr. Hernandez saw me miss my first shot and began lecturing me in a positive way. A little too positive. I shot again and later finished my rounds, then returned back. Jasmine was up. Her group was fast at their shot rates.

Mike Richards is a free agent. How he became a free agent will soon be played out for all of us to see.
Richards was terminated from the remainder of his mammoth 69 million dollar 12 year deal, with still five years and nearly 29 million dollars left on the deal.
The LA Kings released a memo on their website today, stating that Richards was in a 'material breach' of his Standard Player's Contract. While the Kings would not provide the details of the transgression, you can bet that this will come out in the wash in the next few days.
Without boring you with the minutia of contract law, Paragraph 14 in the SPC reads, that the deal can be terminated if any player shall "fail, refuse or neglect to obey the Club's rules governing training and conduct of Players."
The fact that there was no immediate rebuttal by Richards, the NHLPA or Richard's reps from Newport Sports indicates that if Richards and his group decide to grieve this matter, they had better get their ducks in a row.
But this goes further than Richards; this tarnishes the brand that is the Los Angeles Kings. This team has had two Stanley Cup Champions over the past four years, yet all we see is the moral compass of this team being spun around like a tornado.
Slava Voynov is on trial for felony domestic violence. Jarret Stoll was convicted of two misdemeanors and was lucky not to be deported over bringing cocaine and Ecstasy into the MGM Grand in Vegas, and now Richards. Based on early reports from those who know the inner workings of this situation, Richards' transgression is quote 'a whopper'.
LA's termination of this deal is the first step in the right path to get this team back on course. The question now is what did Richards do, and how deep does he drag not just the LA Kings, but the National Hockey League, down the rabbit hole?

Microwave Corn on the Cob
Learn how quick and easy it is to steam corn on the cob in the microwave. You'll get a delicious corn on the cob, with a husk that falls right off, after just a few minutes in the microwave. Find tips like these and more on Food Network.
What You'll Need to Microwave Corn on the Cob
If you steam corn in a microwave, it will slide out well-cooked and completely clean of husk and silk.
Set the Microwave
We found that three minutes struck the perfect balance of just-cooked kernels and an easy-to-husk ear.
3-4 Minutes' Cook Time
If you like your corn a little more cooked, feel free to go with four minutes. (And if you want to take that extra minute to whip together a microwave compound butter, maybe with a pinch of paprika and a squeeze of lemon, we'd hardly blame you.)
Use a Serrated Knife
Use a serrated knife for a secure grip to cut off the tip of the corn.
Cut Off the Top Half Inch
You can cut the tip of the corn off either before or after you microwave it; it's easier to do before, because it's pretty hot out of the microwave, but if you do it after, you don't lose that half inch of corn.
Perfectly Cooked and Silk-Free Corn
Microwaves cook corn on the cob by agitating the water molecules inside the corn. As the molecules are agitated, they generate heat, eventually turning into steam. The steam coming from the kernels forces the silk and husk away from the cob, making them easy to slip off. You end up with perfectly steamed corn, no husk or silk.

Strange phone call
As I lay in bed that night doing my usual thinking, Tom floated back into mind as usual. Argh!! Why did I even like him. He was such a jerk. And yet, I just could never stop thinking about him and having those stupid fluttery feelings and wanting him to like me so badly. I was such a child. I turned over again restlessly, feeling hot and bothered. It was a warm night and there were still those irritating bugs that fluttered around the light which I'd just switched off.
Well, this was one book I couldn't put down - a constant reality of life that everyone had to face. There was no getting away from it. Sighing I finally drifted off into a rather restless doze when the sound of the phone suddenly pierced my ears. My head pounded and I screwed up my eyes from the wincingly bright light showing impatiently on its display. I scrabbled around for the wireless phone which sat somewhere on my desk amongst all my computing papers, sweet wrappers and cereal bowls.
Who on earth could be calling at this hour?! It was past midnight! I blearily pressed the green button, thankfully cutting short its shrill voice. I croaked hello into the mouthpiece and then frowned as i heard a scuffling from the other end.
"Hello?" Then a stifled cry. I sat up sharply, alarmed, my heart beginning to beat wildly and my palms growing sweaty. "Hello? Who's there?" More crackling ensued and then another cry. This time I knew it was Georgia's voice. "Georgia!!"
I breathed heavily and sat there stunned with the phone sitting in my hand. What should I do. What should I do?!

Effective November 1, [[Continental Airlines | Continental's]] maximum allowable carry-on size will shrink from 51 linear inches (the combined length, width, and height) to 45 linear inches. According to Continental, this move will align Continental's restrictions with those of its [[SkyTeam]] partners, which include [[Delta Air Lines | Delta]], [[Northwest Airlines | Northwest]], and [[Air France]].
A Continental spokeswoman told BusinessWeek the carry-on downsizing has nothing at all to do with the airline's recent decision to implement a $15 checked-bag fee, but I'm not buying it. Checked-bag fees have led people to try traveling only with a carry-on, which inevitably results in a few folks stretching the limits of what an overhead bin can hold. Reducing the allowable carry-on size will surely free up some space in those bins—which, mind you, is not a bad thing—though it will make it a little harder to travel sans checked baggage.
Here's Continental's carry-on policy, updated to reflect the change.

Electrical igntion switch on 1999 Acura TL is common to overheat and been subjected to recall. However, if your car's electrical ignition switch has been replaced previously and the electrical ignition switch burned out again. Then, they won't replace another one for you (which is the case on my TL).
Things You'll Need
- Electrical Ignition Switch for 1999 Acura TL (Honda Part: 35130-S84-305)
- Screwdrivers
- Smaller screwdriver for harder to reach screw
Start by disconnecting your battery. Like any other electrical job, you should always disconnect your battery. Otherwise, it will cost you much more if you accidently fry other electrical components (you will need a radio code or navi code if you have one when you reconnect your battery).
Start by removing the fuse panel
Remove screw from the dash panel. There's only 1 screw here.
Pull corner of dash panel loose
Unplug dash light dimmer switch
Pull on the bottom of the dash panel on the other side until you get it loose
Pull from here to get the last clip loose
Remove screws from the bottom of the steering column cover and then remove the top of it
Flip down tilt steering lock so you can slide the bottom part of the cover off
Unplug the brown plug (this is located under the left side of your dash)
Remove two screws on the electrical ignition switch housing facing toward you (one of them is circled red)
This is where you need to find the "mystery screw". If you lay down and look under steering wheel toward the center console and follow the housing cover (from the two screws removed in previous step) you can see it. Remember there's two screws visible there, you want to loosen the bottom part which is connected to the plastic housing cover. Use a smaller screwdriver or an elastic/pivoting head screwdriver to do this.
Now you just slide out the ignition switch and install the new one. Put everything together back in reverse order. Here is the pic of everything taken out from my car. The highlighted red box is the switch you need to replace.
Tips & Warnings
- Put your screws in the safe place, don't lose them
- I don't put my mystery screw back in since it's really hard to get any torgue in such a small spot, you can just use the 2 screws to secure the housing
- Remember to disconnect the battery, otherwise you might burn your fuse or even the other electrical components

Can someone tell me what the run times are with the included 7-Cell 3000mAh NiMh (8.4 volts) battery pack that comes with the new Stampede 4x4. I just got one of these trucks for my son and I'm not sure what to expect. Thanks!
Last edited by TERollins; 12-28-2010 at 05:24 AM.
Lots of variables effect run time, things like driver style, terrain, gearing, etc. I would guesstimate 12-15 min in a Pede 4x4.
BlindMan Racing
Rusty - MERV - Pede 4x4-Alias
SPC Lipo Power
Keep that 11t pinion on there too... that system will draw hard on the battery and cause it to get very hot if you over gear it. Just leave the 11t on there and youll be fine.
I ve gotten about 20-24 minutes on that pack on a slash 4x4
I got about 15-20 minutes on the 3 runs I made before I wrecked bad.
Sent from my Droid using Tapatalk
i get like 12 with 17t pinion
Thanks for the replies. The truck will mostly be ran in the yard and street if that helps. I baught an extra 3000mAh Traxxas battery pack so I'm not sure if I should return it for a 4200 mAh pack. Thanks again!
With the 11T and stock battery I get about 12-14 min, 10 of that is pretty good bashing and a lot of full throttle. Interestingly with the LVC issue I get about the same with the 5200mah 2s Lipo as well.

They really make the windows a lot more challenging to split and so make it more challenging for a thief to enter in this manner. You might even smash the window many times having a hammer and nevertheless not get through.

David Mamet

Oct 15 matinee at 2:00 p.m.
THE STORY: David Mamet's new Oval Office satire depicts one day in the life of a beleaguered American commander-in-chief. It's November in a Presidential election year, and incumbent Charles Smith's chances for reelection are looking grim. Approval ratings are down, his money's running out, and nuclear war might be imminent. Though his staff has thrown in the towel and his wife has begun to prepare for her post-White House life, Chuck isn't ready to give up just yet. Amidst the biggest fight of his political career, the President has to find time to pardon a couple of turkeys — saving them from the slaughter before Thanksgiving — and this simple PR event inspires Smith to risk it all in attempt to win back public support. With Mamet's characteristic no-holds-barred style, November is a scathingly hilarious take on the state of America today and the lengths to which people will go to win. (Samuel French)

The Story: Set in a tiny sewing factory in East L.A., this is the outrageously funny story of five full-figured Mexican-American women who are racing to meet nearly impossible production deadlines in order to keep their tiny factory from going under. And while they work, hiding from the INS (Immigration and Naturalization Service), they talk... about their husbands and lovers, their children, their dreams for the future. The story is told from the point of view of Ana, the youngest among them. Just graduated from high school, Ana dreams of getting out of the barrio and going off to college and becoming a famous writer. Although she needs the money, Ana doesn't like working at the factory and has little respect for the coworkers, who make fun of her ambitions and what they consider her idealistic feminist philosophies. However, Ana keeps coming to her job and chronicling her experiences in a journal. As the summer unfolds, she slowly gains an understanding and appreciation of the work and the women, eventually writing an essay that wins her a journalism fellowship which will take her to New York City. This play, a microcosm of the Latina immigrant experience, celebrates real women's bodies, the power of women, and the incredible bond that happens when women work together. (Dramatic Publishing)

THE STORY: The time-shifting comedy by the author of Top Girls created a sensation Off-Broadway directed by Tommy Tune. Here we are in 1880 darkest but British Africa as portrayed in old movies, plays and novels. Only with a difference. Both parody and spoof of the Victorian Empire and its rigid attitudes especially towards sex. There is Clive, a British functionary, his wife Betty (played by a man), their daughter Victoria (a rag doll), Clive's friend Harry an explorer, Mrs. Saunders who runs about dressed in a riding habit, Clive's son Edward who still plays with dolls and is played by a woman and Joshua a native servant who knows exactly what is really going on. What really is going on is a marvelous send up and a non-stop round robin of sexual liaisons. All this time the natives are restless in the background. The second act shifts to London in 1980 except for the surviving characters it is only twenty five years later and all those repressed sexual longings have evaporated along with the Empire.

- US Emerges As Primary Target for Cybercrime Attacks With 35% Increase in Global Attack Volumes, Reveals ThreatMetrix Report
- ThreatMetrix highlights key moments at the APAC Digital Identity Summit 2017: The Currency of Trust
- ThreatMetrix Spring '17 Release Unveils Major Enhancements to Dynamic Decision Platform: Case Management, Digital Identity Verification and Strong Customer Authentication
- Asia Pacific Cyberattacks up 35% Year on Year, As Global Organized Fraud Rings Turn Their Attention to Emerging Financial Services
- Organised Fraud Rings Turn Their Attention to Online Lenders and Emerging Financial Services
Immediately available, the ThreatMetrix® Spring 2014 Release is an extension of ThreatMetrix's Platform that delivers enhanced data collection and real-time trust analytics for improving the process of differentiating between trusted users and cyberthreats.
This next generation in shared global intelligence enhances the recognition of devices, identities and behaviors across the ThreatMetrix Digital Identity Network. And new capabilities offered by the Spring 2014 release add to the types of data that are collected and analyzed for creating an online persona.
"With most of today's end users conducting business transactions online, cybercrime prevention is all about differentiating between trusted identities and potential fraudsters," said Mustafa Rassiwala, senior director of product management, ThreatMetrix. "The Network delivers real-time intelligence that's not available in other solutions, providing customers with consistent risk assessments of data across a global network and creating a digital persona of users by mapping their online personas and devices."
The Spring 2014 Release enhances ThreatMetrix's context-based security and advanced fraud prevention solutions through:
• Endpoint Intelligence – Advanced endpoint intelligence enables businesses to detect returning, authentic customers and flag identity and device anomalies indicating malicious behavior. Specifically, enhancements include:
o Next-generation true IP address detection when customers use proxies. This provides a complementary solution to existing proxy-piercing technology.
o Improved font detection for more accurate device identification.
o ThreatMetrix SmartID™ upgrade to enable additional attributes to be integrated into cookieless device ID analysis.
o IP geo upgrade offering more precise, granular geolocation.
o ThreatMetrix TrustDefender™ Client upgrades offering the power of a dedicated endpoint protection client to real-time cybercrime prevention. Using TrustDefender Client, customers are able to create security posture rules with an added protective layer, to their existing rules. Therefore, it's possible to examine the status of security such as the presence or absence of security software. Additionally, the rules can examine the strength of the password used to authenticate the user on the device and presence of malware, adware, spyware and more.
• Behavior Intelligence – Various contextual factors come together to uniquely identify each identity and ThreatMetrix leverages cross-correlation and analytics across contextual factors to provide better indicators of malicious actions. The Spring 2014 Release enables ThreatMetrix™ Trust Tags to be dynamically updated with values derived from attributes as part of the transaction. For example, a user's identity can now be tagged with his or her mobile phone number when he or she successfully completes authentication via a mobile phone.
• Trust Analytics – Leveraging global trust analytics, ThreatMetrix examines every transaction across a consistent set of ThreatMetrix-defined identity authentication rules in addition to individual enterprise-defined rules. Analyzing over 500 million transactions a month using a consistent set of rules enables ThreatMetrix to benchmark, baseline and detect long-term trends for fraudulent activities such as identity spoofing, device spoofing, IP address/geolocation spoofing and the presence of malware (man-in-the-browser) attacks. ThreatMetrix can now provide unprecedented analytics to enterprises and improve their identity authentication policies by comparing them against global benchmarks derived from peers in their industry, the size and scale of the enterprise, geographic location and more.
"The ThreatMetrix solution is much more effective than traditional recognition capabilities because it leverages billions of data points from The Network, sharing anonymized information across business boundaries to identify patterns for authentic returning customers and cybercriminals," said Rassiwala. "Overall, the next-generation solution from ThreatMetrix will effectively reduce friction for returning customers while keeping cybercriminals out in real time."

Finally I had a good run! It's been a long time since I've had a good run and I've been getting very discouraged. I only did 4 miles today, but they were speedy (for me) and I felt good 🙂
I had a bowl of Kashi GL Crunch and Flax Plus topped with raisins and almond milk. From past experience I know I do best with nut butter (healthy fats) with breakfast, but I wasn't feeling it – plus I am having AB&J for lunch. I've gotta take the apple to go!
Have you heard Gold's Gym has called this month Cankles Awareness Month? This made me laugh because my brother Michael would always tell me I had cankles and even found a birthday card about cankles for me one year! Ha!
Don't worry about your cankles, I doubt anyone besides you cares about your ankles…your boobs on the other hand…

It's interesting to note that the usual Muslim suspects were seething before the film had even been shown. Along with the seething came the usual death threats against Wilders and promises to undertake attacks in Holland.
By taking this action Muslims act in exactly the way that the film portrays them. Irony does not seem to be understood in the Ummah.
What's also interesting is that there are a lot of parallels between Communism and Islamism. It's very clear when you see what Ahmadinejad and others have to say about Islam taking over the world.
The clock is running now on when a professionally produced film comes out that does the same thing to the West or to the USA in an attempt to create a moral equivalence between the two cultures and to provide fodder for the Kos Kids, HuffPo crowd and rest of the tin foil hat community.

Chapter Twenty-One, Part Six: Oestre BunnyMature
"H-hey, hot lips!" he gasps, breathless as another contraction builds behind his spine, spilling him into temporary alertness again, long enough to snidely position his tongue and lips just so, "... isn't this our second honeymoon?"
Rassilon chuckles softly, smiling as he steps in through the TARDIS doors. "Well, my most favoured chess partner...it seems things have turned out well to plan. I do hope you'll share with me the honour of a game later. Old soldiers need their pastimes, after all."
Proud and amused... perhaps even somewhat relieved, the very first Lord President of the Time Lords looks down at his charge, a vaguely hopeful expression gracing the barely quirking edges of his mouth. Of course, the Doctor is already slumbering, his dirty rabbit head lolling there against Rassilon's chest as he carries him inside.

In Miami, Greed Is Good Again, and It's All Thanks to Evil Genius Pat Riley
Terez Owens
For a city that made a mound of cocaine a must-have desktop accessory and likes its Brittos to match its Lamborghinis, this level of glossy athletic excess is only appropriate: Dwyane Wade, Chris Bosh, and LeBron James, three of the best ballers in the NBA, all descending on Miami to brutally pound opponents like hapless veal calves.
The best part, as we rip the heart from gasping northeast Ohio and crush it into mofongo: Miami doesn't even care about basketball. Cue the Scott Storch beat. Get Will Smith to do some languid salsa moves on a beach, zoom in on J.Lo's bikini-clad rear, and Photoshop out the black sludge lapping onto the sand. After a recession that had our villas in foreclosure, our Benzes in the repo lot, and our white linen suits in consignment, one stammered, overwrought, and overhyped decision on national television made it official: Miami's back, baby.
How in hell did Pat Riley pull it off? Free Tyler Weinman, because we've found the real cat killer. The Heat president had to have sacrificed an entire genus of animals to the Santería gods, after all, to arrange for this strike of black magic.
Bosh called Coach Slick a "mastermind-type genius." Miami Herald sportswriter Dan Le Batard termed him a "gangster." The dude still wears Armani suits and greased-back hair 20 years after Gordon Gekko made that look synonymous with greed and evil. With his wise-guy cragginess and cut-you-in-half laser gaze, Riley probably reduced LeBron James to a quivering puddle of tears, Vitaminwater, and diamonds when they held a seance at the superstar's Akron mansion.

Riley, who presumably packs a Persian cat on business trips so he can stroke it during negotiations, made the overmatched man-child-with-a-king-complex an offer he couldn't refuse.
Which reminds us: Do you really think basketball's Keyser Söze, after orchestrating the greatest sports coup since the Yankees got Babe Ruth for $200,000, will let Erik Spoelstra, the dull uncle at the Thanksgiving table, have the wicked fun of riding this three-backed beast to the NBA Finals? Come next spring, Riley will be the one prowling the sidelines like a hypnotic shark, and we just spotted him emerging from a Little Haiti botanica with a black-mopped voodoo doll.

Israel had hoped the meeting would lead to some Syrian flexibility in its insistence on full peace in exchange for full Israeli withdrawal from the Golan, occupied since 1967. Israelis also wanted to know what kind of peace Syria was promising in return.
In the event, Syria restated its position on international legitimacy and justice - code words for a full Israeli withdrawal as a prerequisite of any agreement in accordance with United Nations Security Council Resolution 242.
But what President Assad impressed on the Americans was his commitment to the strategic goal of peace. The terms and the timing were secondary. In exchange he obtained US understanding of his position, and a restatement of the Mr Clinton's assurance that the US should play a full role as partner in the process.
This was Mr Assad's aim. He may travel little outside the region, but no one has greater political skills or experience. He demonstrated this by setting the terms of the discussions. Mr Assad exceeded the time allotted for the meeting with the most powerful leader in the world by almost two hours.
And Mr Assad clearly wooed the US leader. Before the meeting, the Syrians had said it had three purposes: to push forward the peace process, to improve bilateral US-Syrian relations and to discuss Syria's regional role. The key to the first, Syria feels, was improved relations with the US. And this was the priority.
So Mr Assad set out to impress his interlocutor with his sincerity. He has already eased restrictions on the granting of exit visas to Syria's dwindling Jewish population, restrictions which were an impediment to better relations. Now he is hoping for the kind of international recognition that he feels is his due. For the Syrian leader reckons that only by better relations with the US can he hope for pressure to be put on Israel to make a full withdrawal from Syrian territory.
A guide to reading the coffee grounds of the meeting was provided in advance by the US Secretary of State, Warren Christopher. He lowered expectations of the outcome by declaring on Saturday night that 'if there is an important result we won't see it for several months. There may be something that will give some signal of the change of the attitude of the Syrians towards peace with Israel'.
Afterwards, US officials said they had been greatly encouraged by the public commitment Mr Assad made to the strategic goal of peace and his specific reference to the eventual establishment of normal relations with Israel.
Mr Clinton said that securing a Middle East settlement had always been 'one of my highest foreign policy objectives'. He said he viewed Syria as critical. The Israel-PLO accord was 'an important first step' but Syria was the key to the wider settlement.
Mr Clinton did not dodge questions about remaining problems preventing an improvement of relations between Syria and the US, notably Syria's sponsorship of groups such as the Kurdish Workers' Party (PKK), Ahmed Jibril's Palestinian radicals or the Lebanese Hizbollah - the reason why Syria remains on the State Department's list of states sponsoring terrorism. He said they discussed this issue for over an hour. But he carefully avoided embarrassing Mr Assad by using the word 'terrorism'. Later, State Department officials were to say that questions were raised about Pan Am flight 103, which crashed over Lockerbie. They did not relay the Syrian response.
Mr Clinton announced a new initiative to improve relations between Syria and the US. Syria is keen to secure the capital transfers and technology currently denied it. 'We've instructed the Secretary of State and the Syrian Foreign Minister to establish a mechanism to address (bilateral) issues in detail and openly,' he said.

Under the stony walls,
these are the only walls left,
we gather.
We, the weathered, the broken.
Survivors, if we don't
Our footsteps
and vocal chords,
a quiet hallowed chorus,
against the walls,
our cold and stony sanctuary,
alone like us,
among its many fallen.
The walls are mourning with us,
the hollow rumble
of a broken people.
Under the stony walls
we gather,
and our hymn slows
and dies away
into the hushed sobs
of mothers.
In the dead of silence
our bodies wait--
our souls lost
in the rubble.
A crumpled elder
stands before us,
in his hand
the names of those
for whom we cry our chorus.
The stone holds its breath too
silently praying
for name
after name.
after name.
We are a broken people.
our child,
father and mother.
Lost in the upheaval.

BSG Resources Says Former Adviser FTI Agrees to Pay CompensationJesse Riseborough
BSG Resources Ltd., a company controlled by Israeli billionaire Beny Steinmetz, said its former public relations adviser FTI Consulting LLP has agreed to pay "substantial compensation" and legal costs to settle actions brought earlier this year.
The damages paid will be donated to "charities and good causes working in Guinea," BSG Resources said today in an e-mailed statement, without giving a figure. FTI Consulting said in a separate statement the claims were settled for 90,000 euros ($120,000) "without any admission of liability."
BSGR filed a lawsuit in a London court two months ago that claimed FTI was involved in a campaign linked to George Soros that sought to strip BSGR of rights to an iron ore project in Guinea. BSGR claimed that FTI was pressured to drop its contract to provide public relations advice to the mining company by Mark Malloch-Brown, its chairman for Europe, Middle East and Africa and who has links to Soros.
Both FTI and Malloch-Brown have denied the claims brought against them "in their entirety as baseless and without any merit," FTI said in its statement.
BSGR said in March that Guinea was preparing to remove mining rights from its joint venture with Vale SA, which planned a $10 billion operation. A U.S. grand jury in April indicted a French citizen who the Guinea government has said has ties to BSGR. Frederic Cilins, 50, has been accused of interfering with an investigation into bribes paid for mining rights in Guinea.
BSGR has denied any wrongdoing and Cilins has pleaded not guilty.
The case in London is BSG Resources v. FTI Consulting, High Court of Justices, Queen's Bench Division.

Survey Reveals Colleges' Plans Regarding Cuts To Adjunct Hours in Response to Obamacare
by Tyler Kingkade
Officials at Joliet Junior College, Palm Beach State College, Daytona State College, Bergen Community College and Kean University have decided to limit the hours/courses for adjunct faculty in order to avoid having to provide those faculty health insurance as required by the Patient Affordable Care Act (Obamacare). At the moment, however, the majority of the nation's adjunct college instructors are caught in purgatory as their employers, which have increasingly relied on them as a cheap source of labor, decide if they will restrict the hours the instructors are allowed to work to avoid providing them with health insurance.
Only about one-fourth of colleges have decided on criteria for determining whether a part-time faculty member is working 30 hours or more a week, and thus will be entitled under Obamacare to health insurance coverage from the school, according to a survey released this week by the College and University Professional Association for Human Resources. But a wave of colleges have announced new restrictions this year on the hours that adjunct, or part-time, faculty members are allowed to work.
No survey respondents said they believe the Affordable Care Act will cause their insurance costs to go down, but 40

I just ran into an interesting issue the other day where we tried to clone configuration from one Edge Transport server to a new server and wanted to share my experience.
Typically this is a relatively straightforward process, and the following link details the Import & Export scripts you would run to perform this process: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa996008.aspx
We exported the configuration from the Source Edge server using a variation of the following command:
./ExportEdgeConfig -CloneConfigData:"C:\CloneConfigData.xml"
Then we copied the XML file to the TARGET Edge server and validated the configuration file & created an answer file with a variation of the following command:
./ImportEdgeConfig -CloneConfigData:"C:\CloneConfigData.xml" -IsImport $false -CloneConfigAnswer:"C:\CloneConfigAnswer.xml"
Finally we attempted to import the configuration file to the TARGET Edge server with a variation of the following command:
./ImportEdgeConfig -CloneConfigData:"C:\CloneConfigData.xml" -IsImport $true -CloneConfigAnswer:"C:\CloneConfigAnswer.xml"
We received the following error: Error: "Validation Failed for Fqdn element of type FQDN"
As it turned out we didn't save the CloneConfigAnswer.xml after modifying the last of the invalid settings. Thus the FQDN in the CloneConfigAnswer.xml was reflecting the source Edge Transport server and not the target Edge Transport server. Thus it fails the FQDN Validation step of the cloning process.
Validation errors are usually due to problems with the CloneConfigAnswer.xml file, I had just never actually received an error during the Validation step before. At least the fix was straightforward, as we updated the FQDN in the CloneConfigAnswer.xml to reflect the FQDN of the target Edge Transport server that
the configuration was being copied to and then we were able to successfully clone the Edge Transport configuration.

It is quite obvious that visitors play a very essential role for boosting the visibility of a website. Regrettably, many online businesses could not generate enough traffic, therefore, making their online venture a failure. Here are some guidelines for increasing the number of registered members on your website for a successful internet enterprise.
Tag Archives: Freebie
Social networking pages are essentially "fan pages" whether they're labeled as such or not. They work in the same way blog works, where you gain "followers" who purportedly keep in touch with your and read all of your updates. When you're managing a store, whether it's online, brick-and-mortar, or both, social networking fan pages can work to your advantage as long as you use the page well.
Your niche market isn't a static character you can depend on whenever you need someone to affirm how you're doing very well. Customers have needs, and sometimes we might think we already have them all figured out. The thing is, just because we've done very well in starting our business doesn't mean we can already sit back and be complacent about our online business.
Niche marketing is one of the best ways to make revenue online. The only problem is this: what happens when you've chosen the same niche which 10,000 other retailers have chosen? You're bound to have trouble finding ideal domain names, and there's a long list of websites you'll have to beat for search engine rankings. Should you give up and just look for another niche? That's also an option, but the real winners in the field don't give up without […]

Hot Water and BubblesMature
The water is cold at first and the girl becomes frustrated with waiting. She pours soap in the sink and stops it up with a plug. Bubbles begin to fill around the dishes as the water mixes furiousy with the soap. Pinks and Oranges and Yellows reflect in their convex surfaces. She picks up a sponge and begins to scrub.
As the water continues to pour from the faucet, it begins so burn her fingers and the backs of her hadns turn red. She grits her teeth and blows her bangs out of her eyes. She itches to pin them back with her hands, but they are wet, soapy, and spotted with flecks of food.
She stacks the last plate in the drying rack. It makes a crisp clink as it connects with another. She laughs at the clear note and blows into the sink, sending a flurry of green and red and pink reflections into the air. She dries her hands and inspects them. They are shriveled and chalky. She picks up the newspaper, but the feeling of it against her skin makes her wince and drop it.
In an hour, the feeling will be gone, but the cracks in her hands will be a little deeper.
