Opening a savings account is a wise choice for any budget-conscious credit union member. Whether you're saving for a rainy day, planning for that next large purchase, or trying to solidify your assets for the future, establishing a safe, interest-bearing account for your hard-earned money is the first step in laying the groundwork for healthy spending habits. Once you have this saving starting point in place, it is important to develop a solid money management plan so you can stay on track and reach your goals.
As you begin your journey down the road of saving, you're sure to encounter some bumps along the way - financial institution fees, rising costs of goods and services, your own pesky spending habits. Don't let these temporary roadblocks cut your trip short! By equipping yourself with some budget-friendly strategies and following a few simple tips, you'll be cruising down the super highway of saving in no time, destined for financial stability.
4 Tips to Jumpstart Your Savings Plan from Credit Unions Online
You can easily spend less and save more if you start taking inventory of your expenses and being more accountable for exactly how you're spending money. Some credit unions offer free online money management tools, like FinanceWorks, to help you track expenses and even build a budget.
By documenting your spending, you might find that you've been making a lot of small purchases, which are adding up as well as spending money on things you don't really need. By coming to these financial realizations, you're bound to cut out unnecessary spending like dining out, frequent shopping, and impulse buying. Experts recommend that the money you free up by cutting spending be saved for future goals such as a debt-free summer vacation, higher education, your first home, and retirement.
If you have had a difficult time saving in the past or just can't seem to get started now, one of the best ways to start is to have funds automatically deposited into a savings account on a monthly basis. You can set it up so that part of your monthly earnings goes directly into a savings or money market account, or gets transferred from a checking account.
If you're not ready or simply not able to make large deposits regularly just yet, there are transfer programs linked to your debit card purchases, which some credit unions now offer. In other words, when you use your debit card for purchases, your credit union makes a small transfer to your share account, thus enforcing the concept of saving as you spend.
In order to build up your savings, it only makes sense to put money in your account more often than you take money out. The federal government agrees and has put a rule known as Federal Regulation D in place to limit the number of transfers and/or withdrawals a consumer can make from savings or money market accounts. If you exceed 6 per month, you may incur a fee, and although your credit union's fee will most likely be less than that of a bank, it sort of defeats the whole purpose of trying to save. Moral of the story – a savings account is meant for plenty of balance building deposits rather than excessive withdrawals.
Overdraft Protection, or a link between your savings and checking accounts at the same financial institution, can be a financial lifesaver when it comes to saving money. If you take the initiative to set yourself up with this safeguard, you'll be eliminating the need to pay a penalty in the event of having insufficient funds.
The idea is that you will borrow from your savings account rather than from your credit union to cover the costs of your incident. Plus, overdraft protection not only helps you dodge financial snafus but also allows you to avoid the possibility of embarrassment at a store, restaurant, or other merchant when the overdraft occurs.
Use these helpful tips along with your credit union's resources to put the brakes on careless spending and give saving the green light! To get started saving today, find a local credit union to stash your cash in a safe place. Use our savings calculator to estimate how much you will have saved in the future!By Cyndi Cohen

24 Oct On the Grid in Portugal
Source: Maclean Photographic
The season finale of the 2016 European Le Mans Series took place at the Autodromo do Estoril with a dramatic end to the year with the championship leading no66 JMW Motorsport Ferrrai retiring due to a gearbox problem, handing the European title to their nearest rivals at Aston Martin Racing.
Alex Brundle (top picture) had already secured the LMP3 European title with his teammates Christian England and Mike Guasch (pictured below) and started the race from pole position. But an incident between Mike Guasch and the no66 JMW Motorsport Ferrari after two hours of the four hour race meant the Anglo American trio failed to finish their championship wining season on a high note.
In the pitlane I spotted Fabien Barthez, the former French goalkeeper and national captain, signing autographs. Barthez is now a successful driver and team owner, competing in the LMP2 class of the European Le Mans Series.

Euro weakens on European debt woes and China repositioning fears - May 26
The euro declined across the board on persistent European debt woes while a surprisingly poor demand of German bonds also pressured the single currency. In addition, a Financial Times (FT) report showed that China was reviewing its eurozone bond holdings added further weight on euro.
Although the single currency rebounded strongly on Tuesday from 1.2177 and hit an intra-day high of 1.2388 in NZ/AUS session on Wednesday, euro tumbled from there and despite a minor recovery from 1.2262, renewed selling at 1.2345 sent the pair lower and euro picked up more downward momentum after the release of upbeat US data on durable goods and new home sales. The pair eventually fell below 1.2177 and sank to 1.2166 in NY afternoon after the FT said China's officials of the country's State Administration of Foreign Exchange (SAFE), which managed the reserves under China's central bank, had been meeting with foreign bankers to discuss the eurozone bond holdings because of growing concern about gaping deficits in euro zone member countries including Greece and Portugal. Besides, Germany sold 5.45 billion euros of 5-year bonds on Wednesday but the auction was met with poor demand as it only drew demand of 1.1 times the amount on offer, decreasing from the previous results of 1.5 times. In addition, European Central Bank Governing Council member Erkki Liikanen said a 'true recovery' of the eurozone economy will only be possible when governments repair their finances.
Versus the Japanese yen, the greenback once sparked up to 90.51 in NZ/AUS session and then retreated to 90.00 later. The pair then briefly rose to 90.68 after the release of better-than-expected U.S. new home sales which rose by 14.8% to 0.504 million in April versus the economists' forecast of 0.430 million together with upwardly revised 0.439 million in March. However, the usd/jpy pair fell to 89.81 as DJI staged a late-day reversal despite early rise of 135.28 points and ended the day down by 0.69% at 9974.45 on the news that China would review holdings. DJI closed below 10000 points for the first time since Feb of 2010. In other news, U.S. durable good orders rose by 2.9% in April, much higher than the economists' forecast of 1.3%.
The British pound rose to 1.4449 in NZ/AUS session on Wednesday following overnight rebound from 1.4260. Although cable retreated to 1.4330 in European morning, the gbp/usd pair managed to edge up on cross-buying in sterling especially versus euro as the eur/gbp pair nosed-dived from 0.8575 to 0.8455 and cable finally ended the day at 1.4387.
Economic data to be released on Thursday include: N.Z. Trade balance, imports, exports, Japan exports, imports, trade balance, Germany's ifo index, U.K. CBI distribution trade, U.S. PCE, GDP deflator, U.S. jobless claims and Midwest manufacturing.

This USA G&L Legacy HSS is Leo Fender's next generation Stratocaster. Leo knew he could improve his previous design & improve it he did! The pickups are both warm & clear; Very natural sounding & not harsh at all. And of course the playability is first-rate. Practically everyone who plays a G&L becomes a fan for life & rarely goes back to 'regular' Fenders. This guitar is voiced very well and does a great job of both SRV and 'Country' style playing. And the bridge humbucker is powerful enough to rock, yet still retains great clarity.
This one is Jet Black and really captures that 'special color' vibe. The hard-rock maple neck with dark rosewood fingerboard is not clubby ('modern classic'), with a smooth satin finish that is fast & never sticky. The medium jumbo frets are just right to be big enough for bending, but not so large that playing out of tune is an issue.
Some quick specs; Alder body, three-ply Tortoise Shell 'guard, bone nut, plek'ed frets, and Alnico 5 pickups.
This is a lifetime instrument that will make the owner both proud & bring years of satisfaction. Also, the USA G&L's hold their value very well and have great re-sale. Includes original hardshell case, 10 year G&L factory warranty, & Certificate of Authenticity.
Buy with confidence from Shoals Guitar Boutique, your brick & mortar authorized G&L dealer!

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) A federal grand jury is investigating whether Barry Bonds committed perjury when he testified in 2003 that he never used steroids, according to media reports.
The panel has been hearing evidence for more than a month about whether the Giants' slugger lied to a different grand jury that was investigating the BALCO scandal, according to reports Thursday night on CNN and the San Francisco Chronicle's website.
VIDEO: Trouble may be headed Bonds' way
Luke Macaulay, spokesman for the U.S. Attorney's Office in San Francisco, told The Associated Press that he could neither confirm nor deny the reports. The story was first broadcast on CNN, which cited "multiple sources" it did not identify.
Bonds was granted immunity when he testified to the BALCO grand jury in December 2003 as long he told the truth. According to excerpts of the testimony previously reported by the Chronicle, Bonds testified that he used a clear substance and a cream given to him by a trainer who later pleaded guilty in a steroid-distribution ring, but said he didn't know they were steroids.
Bonds told the grand jury that Greg Anderson, his personal trainer, told him the substances he used were the nutritional supplement flaxseed oil and a rubbing balm for arthritis.
The substances Bonds described were similar to ones known as "the clear" and "the cream," two steroids at the center of the scandal. Investigators seized calendars that recorded schedules for Bonds' use of those drugs, as well as human growth hormone, clomid, insulin and other steroids, according to the Chronicle.
Bonds has always denied using steroids. Harry Stern, an attorney in the firm representing Bonds, told the AP that Bonds told the truth when he testified to the grand jury and said his firm had no knowledge of this reported grand jury investigation.
Baseball spokesman Rich Levin said he is aware of the reports, "but it's just not appropriate for us to comment at this time."
The Chronicle also reported that Dr. Arthur Ting, Bonds' personal surgeon, has been subpoenaed to testify before the grand jury investigating possible perjury charges.
Ting, who treated Bonds for a knee injury that kept him out for most of the 2005 season, was called to appear before the panel at the U.S. District courthouse in San Francisco later this month, the Chronicle reported, citing two people familiar with the investigation.
The sources asked the newspaper not to identify them because of the sensitivity of the grand jury probe.
Phone messages left by the AP for Ting and his attorney were not immediately returned Thursday night.
According to Game of Shadows, a book released last month that detailed Bonds' longtime alleged drug regimen, Ting accompanied Bonds to BALCO headquarters in Burlingame in 2003 to draw blood from the slugger.
The publication of the book prompted Major League Baseball commissioner Bud Selig to launch an investigation into past steroid use in baseball.
Bonds is third on baseball's all-time home runs list with 708; he is seven homers shy of passing Babe Ruth. He did not play in the second game of Thursday's doubleheader with the Houston Astros in San Francisco and would not be available for comment until after the game, Giants spokesman Blake Rhodes said.
Bonds was one of about 30 athletes who testified to the grand jury investigating BALCO, including New York Yankees sluggers Jason Giambi and Gary Sheffield, and track stars Tim Montgomery and Marion Jones.
None of the athletes had to testify in open court because the four defendants pleaded guilty last year to the charges. Anderson was sentenced to three months in prison and three months in home confinement; BALCO founder Victor Conte was sentenced to four months in prison and four months home confinement; and BALCO vice president James Valente and track coach Remi Korchemny each received probation.

In case you were wondering, the Flyers beat the Penguins in 6 games.I know it must have been tough to get this put together because they had such a short time, but seriously, this is just as bad as Deadspin being the only news outlet to decide to check whether or not Manti Te'o's girlfriend was a real person.According to the Puck Daddy Blog, this is the first time something like this has happened.When on Earth would the Canucks have played the Lightning in the Stanley Cup Finals?

Obviously, you bought your E430 because you understood you would be getting long-lasting quality and dependability both rolled up into one car, truck, or SUV. Mercedes-Benz automobile enthusiasts have grown accustomed to a certain level of a reputation for strength when driving their E430 around town. While it's not hard to locate replacement parts for Mercedes-Benz vehicles, these days the necessity for nothing but the highest quality are required to maintain your automobile. When your Mercedes-Benz E430 was born, it was destined for a driver who values German engineering in their automobile.
Engines need to keep cool if they are to maintain operational status. That's why your Mercedes-Benz E430 engine has a system of radiator and coolant hoses connecting its vital cooling components. The radiator hoses under your hood connect the radiator to the water pump and to the engine block, while other coolant hoses send the ethylene glycol mixture through the thermostat, return the coolant to the expansion tank, or by-pass the heater hose flange. If a Mercedes-Benz E430 radiator or coolant hose springs a leak, then your engine will lose its ability to maintain the prescribed operating temperature; leading to engine failure.
When your Mercedes-Benz needs a top quality replacement Coolant & Radiator Hose, there's no need to go somewhere besides the authority, Car Parts Discount. Don't let a broken Coolant & Radiator Hose spell the end of your car, truck, or SUV, and don't gamble with its condition by buying anything but the best replacement parts. Get your E430 back on the road with the highest quality replacement parts from the experts at Car Parts Discount. All the Mercedes-Benz E430 Coolant & Radiator Hose parts on this page will fit vehicles made in 2002, 2001, 2000, 1999, 1998. Choose your year below to refine your search.


text: Culture 22 October 2009 Art and the Olympics Commissions for the Cultural Olympiad are unveiled Sign up for our weekly email * Print HTML Today, the winning commissions for Artists Taking the Lead, one of the main schemes in London's Cultural Olympiad, were announced. Each of the 12 commissions, worth £5.4m in total, was picked from more than 2,000 entries, and will represent the nine English regions and the nations of Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales. Until today, there had been relatively little to show from the Olympiad, which has been criticised for lacking leadership and direction. But since the Royal Opera House chief executive, Tony Hall, was appointed this summer as the Olympiad's new chair, it seems at last some progress is being made. The artists presented their winning ideas at the Oxo Towern, about six miles away from the Olympic site at Stratford. Among the most impressive and ambitious projects were Craig Coulthard's Forest Pitch, for which the artist will be "hiding" a football pitch in a forest, and Alex Hartley's nowhereisland. Here, the artist brings Nymark, an island he discovered in the High Arctic region of Svalbard, to the south-west of England. Some of the other projects seemed less successful, but they were at least far-ranging in scope (giant lion sculptures, bus stops and Lady Godiva, to name a few). Sebastian Coe told the New Statesman that although the Olympics is predominantly a sporting event, the Cultural Olympiad will be one of the "most serious legacies" of 2012. "One of the accusations was that it [the Olympiad] was going to be the metropolitan 'elite' talking to each other, and it would be very narrowly defined . . . But we could not have been much broader in our approach, from the London bus stops through to the Leeds Canvas where you are using film, dance and theatre all within the same framework." There has, however, already been a prolific response to the London Olympics from artists in east London. For an "alternative cultural Olympiad", visit the Wick Curiosity Shop. › End of an era?

Discussion in 'Off-topic Zone' started by Meat-O-Rama, Apr 2, 2008.
ESPN News HD just went live today on DirecTV.
(Along with Disney and Toon Disney)
Don't like the new format of ESPNews.
Mybe I'm too used to the old format, but it just seems too busy.
I do like that its in HD, tho. Couldn't understand why all the other chanESPN stations were, but that one wasn't.
I think it's quite an investment in time and money to get a new studio setup to be HD ready, at least according to what I've read.
On a side note, it bugs me that NFL network has an HD ready studio, but al of their studio shows are broadcast in SD. They only show HD games and replays of games.
Hannah Montana in HD!
My kids will love it.
glad to hear its up and running, will check it out
on a similar topic, wonder why FOX News isnt in HD yet? Anyone know?
Not getting enough of Cajuncowboy here at the Zone? Well, I may be coming to your home once a week.
Just come some preliminaries on a project I have been working on for a while to host a televised version of our radio show. Format TBD and such and this is the very early stages but, hopefully this thing gets fired up soon. There are a couple outlets we are looking at including RFD and Gospel Music Channel. GMC was just picked up by Direct TV.
Anyway, hope to be staring back at you soon. I know you are just as thrilled as I am.
Sounds like it is in the works, but with no firm dates set yet. DirecTV appears to have agreed to carry it when it does launch.
I just found GMC on DirecTV and LOVE IT!! I noticed the other day that I still have two spike tv channels. One used to be HD. But now both are listed as standard?
That big thing I don't like is their "Breaking News" at the bottom. At first I was like, cool! Then I realized is was just their normal scroll. WTH???

Q U O T A B "My father gave me these hints on speech-making: 'Be sincere... be brief... be seated.' " — James Roosevelt son of Franklin D. Roosevelt, c. 1965 EDITORIAL Mujahedeen presence Despite assurances, Muslim fighters still in Bosnia, still threat to American soldiers Our policy in Bosnia is already a dangerous one, with American troops dodging land mines and acting as a buffer between warring factions in the northeast comer of that war-torn country. But another wild card has been in the deck throughout our troops' short deployment in the Balkans. Muslim warriors who flocked to Bosnia to fight on the side of government forces have not left for their homelands, as government officials promised they would, upon the arrival of NATO troops. Our own policymakers knew of the presence of these fighters when the decision was made to include 20,000 American soldiers in the NATO peace-keeping mission, but assurances that they would leave Bosnia we're enough to satisfy those in charge. However, many mujahedeen remain in the region — heavily armed, and itching for action. Our troops were put on alert Tuesday after an American civilian, tied to extremist causes, tried to penetrate a U.S. base of operations in Bosnia. But the real threat comes from Muslim fighters. Officials are concerned that terrorist actions may follow the recent harsh sentencing in the U.S. of a Muslim cleric convicted of involvement in the World Trade Center bombing in New York. They also think, with mujahedeen in place near U.S. troop bases, the Muslim fighters may be the instruments of those terroristic acts. In our rush to join the peace-keeping mission in Bosnia, our leaders decided to consider several hundred mujahedeen as insignificant or only a temporary threat. But as reports conclude that many of the fighters still remain in Bosnia, it is obvious we've made a serious miscalculation. NATO, and especially U.S. political and military leaders, should insist ttiat the Bosnian government (the entity responsible for the mujahedeen presence) fulfill their promises and ensure that those fighters leave the country. Otherwise, we may see U.S. troops returning to America in body bags following a suicide bombing or other terrorist action. (Today s editorial was written by Managing Editor Doug Loveday.)

Drawer 311328, New Braunfels. Tx. 78131-1328Make good grades — pay less A new auto insurance discount for good students rewards academic achievement and reflects William O. Douglas' observation that "common sense often makes good law." The 74th Legislature authorized the discounts when it passed Senate Bill 553 by Sen. Jane Nelson, R-Flower Mound, and Rep. Tony Goolsby, R-Dallas. The bill provides a motor vehicle insurance premium discount for high school and college students who maintain at least a "B" average or a 3.0 grade-point average on a 4.0 scale. Previously insurance companies did not provide automobile insurance premium discounts based on academic achievement for Texas students, although some states encourage the discount and Georgia requires it. To qualify, applicants annually must file school-issued grade reports with an insurer and submit evidence that they are licensed to drive in Texas. They also must be full-time students in their junior or senior years of high school or in an institution of higher learning. Applicants also must prove that they are younger than 25 years old and qualify as youthful drivers under the Texas Department of Insurance automobile classification plan. SB 553 affects insurance policies delivered, issued for delivery or renewed on or after Jan. I. Eligible students should ask insurance agents how to apply for the discount and its amount. Other insurance laws passed during the 74th Legislative session address health, the availability of insurance, homeowners' policies and life insurance. SB 607 by Zaffirini and Rep. Nancy McDonald, D-E1 Paso, requires group health insurance policies to pay for medically accepted bone mass measurement tests to detect osteoporosis in at-risk individuals. Although osteoporosis affects men, it primarily affects women 40 years or older. Another insurance bill also affects women. The American College of Clinical Pathologists estimates that 50 percent of women have clinically evident fibrocystic breasts, and 90 percent have some degree of fibrocystic disease. Insurance companies often deny coverage upon diagnosis of a fibrocystic breast condition. SB 182 by Sen. Peggy Rosson, D-El Paso, and Rep. Patricia Gray, D-Gaiveston, prohibits this practice. Insurers cannot deny coverage, cancel or refuse to renew a policy, limit coverage or charge a different rate for equal coverage because an individual has been diagnosed with or has a history of a fibrocystic breast condition. House Bill 1367 by Rep. Harold Dutton, D-Hous-ton, and Sen. Rodney Ellis, D-Houston, also addressed the issue of discrimination in insurance underwriting. The bill prohibits companies from refusing coverage; refusing to continue coverage; or charging a different rate or limiting coverage on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, age, gender, marital status or geographic location. What's more, it prohibits considering English fluency when underwrit- Judith Zaffirini ing health insurance policies. Insurers, however, may make insurance decisions based on age, gender, marital status, geographic location or disability, if the decisions are based on sound underwriting or actuarial principles reasonably related to actual or anticipated loss experience. Another fair practice insurance bill addresses the viatical settlement business. Under such an agreement, an investor buys the life insurance policy of a terminally ill person for less than the policy's face value. The policy holder usually receives from 50 to 80 percent of the policy in cash, depending on the person's life expectancy. Cancer patients comprise about IO percent of the participants in viatical agreements. The industry began in 1988 and grew rapidly after the onset of AIDS. HB 2256 by Rep. John Shields, R-San Antonio, and Sen. Frank Madia, D-San Antonio, requires the insurance commissioner to adopt rules for persons engaged in the viatical settlement business. The rules must address registration of persons in the business, contract form approval, disclosure requirements, prohibited practices, assignment or resale of life policies and confidentiality of personal and medical information. These and dozens of other insurance-related bills reflect Edmund Burke's words: "Government is a contrivance of human wisdom to provide for human wants. Men have a right that these wants should be provided for by this wisdom." (Judith Zaffirini is a state senator for New Braunfels.) Clinton's call for smaller gov't draws jeers By DAVID ESPO Associated Press Writer WASHINGTONJAP) — Portending a campaign-season struggle for the political center, Republicans are scoffing at President Clinton's embrace of "an era of balanced budgets and smaller government" as empty rhetoric from a liberal politician. "President Clinton may well be the rear guard of the welfare state," Senate Majority Leader Bob Dole said in a broadcast rebuttal to Clinton's State of the Union address Tuesday night. • Dole, the front-runner for the COP nomination to oppose Clinton next fall, noted that Clinton cast several vetoes last year on GOP legislation. "He is the chief obstacle to a balanced budget, and the balanced budget amendment" to the Constitution, the Kansas Republican said. For his part, Clinton's speech to Congress sketched themes likely to carry him into the fall.Today In History By The Associated Press Today is Wednesday, Jan. 24, the 24th day of 19%. There are 342 days left in the year. Today's Highlight in History: Chi Jan. 24, 1848, James W. Marshall discovered a gold nugget at Sutter's Mill in northern California, a discovery that led to the gold rush of '49. On this date: In 1908, the first Boy Scout troop was organized in England by Robert Baden-Powell. In 1924, the Russian city of St. Petersburg was renamed Leningrad in honor of the late revolutionary leader (however, it has since been renamed St. Petersburg). In 1942, a special court of inquiry into America's lack of preparedness for the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor placed much of the blame on Rear Adm. Husband E. Kimmel and Lt. Gen. Walter C. Short, the Navy and Army commanders. In 1943, President Roosevelt and British PrimeAnalysis "The era of big government is over," the president said during an hour-long speech in which he summoned skeptical Republican lawmakers to work with him to nail down an elusive baianced-budget deal and bipartisan welfare overhaul. "But we cannot go back to the time when our citizens were left to fend for themselves," the president added in remarks before a packed House chamber and a television audience counted in the millions. Rhetoric aside, Clinton's speech provided moments of theater only possible when the nation's political elite gather: —Democrats cheered enthusiastically when first lady Hillary Rodham Clinton was introduced in the House chamber; Republicans only grudgingly. —Energy Secretary Hazel O'Leary shook hands only with Democrats as she walked down the center aisle to her seat, keeping her back turned to Repub- Minister Churchill concluded a wartime conference in Casablanca, Morocco. In 1965, former British Prime Minister Churchill died in London at age 90. In 1972, the U.S. Supreme Court struck down laws that denied welfare benefits to people who had resided in a state for less than a year, In 1978, a nuclear-powered Soviet satellite plunged through Earth's atmosphere and disintegrated, scattering radioactive debns over parts of northern Canada. In 1985, the space shuttle Discovery was launched from Cape Canaveral, Fla., on the first secret, all-military shuttle mission. In 1987, gunmen in Lebanon kidnapped American educators Alann Steen, Jesse Turner, Robert Polhill and Indian-bom professor Mitheleshwar Singh from Beirut University College (all were later released). In 1993, retired Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall died in Bethesda, Md., at age 84. Ten years ago: The Voyager ll space probe swept past Uranus, coming within 50,679 miles of the seventh planet of the solar system and snapping dozens of licans, some of whom have demanded her dismissal. —Clinton sparked a laugh from Rep. Newt Gingrich, his political nemesis, when he handed the House speaker a copy of his speech text along with a handwritten note. "Thank you and good night," it read — precisely the words Gingrich had said in advance he wanted to hear. Clinton's speech was salted with conciliatory references to majority Republicans, and included a salute to Dole's service in World War ll a half-century ago. But he challenged the GOP directly on two pressing issues. "Never — ever shut down the government again," he said in a reference to the two partial federal closures since November. "Ami pass a straightforward extension of the debt limit." Coached in advance, Democrats cheered those words, while most Republicans sat in silence. Dole didn't address these issues. photographs. Five years ago: A brief skirmish occurred high above the Persian Gulf as a Saudi warplane shot down two Iraqi jets. One year ago: President Clinton appealed for common ground as he delivered his second State of the Union address, this time before a Republican-led Congress. The prosecution gave its opening statement at the O.J. Simpson trial, mapping a "frail of blood" as evidence the former football star was guilty of murder.'

University of Louisville head coach Bobby Petrino has a lot of talent on the roster to work with. In addition to a host of experienced players, there are many that seem on the cusp of a breakout season.
Here's a look at 5 players that have an opportunity to fill a larger role and be impact performers for the Cardinals offense or defense this fall.
Gerald Christian
Senior, Tight End
At 6-foot-3, 245-pounds, Christian is a tight end that provides solid run support and is an excellent threat in the passing game.
The former Florida Gator played in all 13 games last season, starting 11. Christian finished 2013 as the team's fourth leading receiver with 28 receptions for 426 yards and 4 touchdowns. While impressive numbers, playing in the Petrino offense, which utilizes the tight end even more in the passing attack, should result in higher numbers in 2014.
Christian is on the John Macky Award preseason watch list, an annual honor that is awarded to the nation's top tight end.
Michael Dyer
Senior, Running Back
Dyer's journey to becoming a senior at the University of Louisville has had it's share of twists and turns. A pair of 1,000-yard seasons and an MVP Award in the BCS title game help make a resume that seemed destined to eventually include the National Football League. After a year away from the game, Dyer resurfaced at U of L and after an injury plagued junior season, is poised for a breakout performance in 2014.
However, bit the injury bug once again during fall camp, suffering a thigh contusion, Dyer is questionable for the Cardinals season-opener against Miami. Should he remain healthy throughout the season, Dyer could finish as the team's leading rusher and see his name climb in the NFL Draft projections.
As a junior, Dyer saw action in 8 games and rushed for 223 yards on 44 carries.
Keith Kelsey
Sophomore, Linebacker
While Kelsey was limited to special teams and reserve duty as a true freshman, his ability to locate the ball and deliver a hard hit were evident.
Due in part to the injury to junior Keith Brown, Kelsey has taken first team snaps throughout spring and fall camp, and has performed well enough to receive the start at MIKE linebacker in the opener against Miami.
He'll certainly split time with Brown, but the 6-foot-1, 225-pound sophomore will be an impact player for the Cardinals defense this season.
He recorded 24 tackles, including one for a loss, in 12 appearances last season. He also totaled 2 pass breakups.
Deiontrez Mount
Senior, Linebacker
Playing behind Marcus Smith, a Philadelphia Eagles first-round draft choice, limited Mount's opportunities the past few seasons, but the product of Fort Walton Beach, Fla., is now a starter in the Cardinals defense.
Moved from defensive end to outside linebacker during the spring, Mount's athletic 6-foot-5, 245-pound frame can create havoc whether he's rushing the quarterback or helping in pass coverage.
Also slowed by injury last season, Mount played in 10 games, registering 9 tackles. The senior has appeared in 31 career games, with 8 starts. He has 8 tackles for a loss and 4.5 sacks among his 45 career stops.
James Quick
Sophomore, Wide Receiver
After an All-American career at Louisville Trinity, Quick spent his freshman season playing sparingly. The 6-foot-1, 185-pound wide receiver played in 9 games last season, totaling 6 catches for 73 yards.
Now with a year under his belt, the speedster has worked with the first team all camp and will start against the Hurricanes on September 1. With the loss of DeVante Parker for a few weeks, Quick will be counted upon to become a go-to receiver from the start.
Petrino has used Quick in a number of formations throughout fall camp and may utilize his abilities in multiple ways this season.

I'm going to try and make a blanket for a "boat bed" (v-berth). One end measures 2ft wide and goes up to 6ft. The length of the bed is 6ft. My question is about the increases. If I start with the 2ft end, will increasing 1 stitch on the ends till I get to 6ft in length give me the 6ft width? I've made corner to corner blankets before but never one like this! Thank you in advance!
Welcome to Knitting Help!
I think if you continue in that manner you could got to 6ft. However, I'm thinking of my husbands boat and the V-birth isn't exactly a 90 degree angle whereas the blanket is. :think:
Thank you!
Do you think I should increase 1 stitch every inch instead of every row?
Interesting idea. What is your stitch gauge and row gauge with your yarn and needles?
I'll have to make a swatch when i get home and get back to you!
If I understand correctly, you're making a trapezoid.
So, you need to increase your width 4ft (2ft to 6ft) over a distance of 6ft (length of berth).
convert to inches= 48" over 72"You should increase 1" in width every 1.5" of length. How many sts that is, will depend on your gauge.
Just asked my husband and he agreed the V berth is not usually 90%, but he pointed out that boats differ. A larger beamier (wider) boat might have a wider V. The bigger boats I've been on usually have separate berths and use that area for storage. Is this your boat?
Increasing less often would make it narrower. I think you're going to have to measure and do some math though.
Hello suec, would the following be any help in caculating your increases?
Thank you all so much for your help!
@Jan, no this is a friends boat locate in Kanas City MO..I'm in NY so I'm going by her drawing! I hope she's right!
I'm starting this tonight as soon as I brush up on my math!
Thanks again!!

The Vatican has issued a new rule requiring anyone bringing €10,000 (£8,800) or more into Vatican City to declare it.
The rule went into effect yesterday, on the same day as the Holy See's broader anti-money laundering and anti-terrorist financing regulations became law.
The Vatican announced the measures on 30 December in a major effort to comply with international finance norms and to shed its image as a tax haven with a reputation for secrecy and scandal.
The Vatican's own bank remains implicated in a money-laundering investigation that resulted in ¤23m being seized and its top two officials being placed under investigation last year. The Vatican denies any wrongdoing and says the investigation resulted from a misunderstanding.

British Man Arrested, Gets 10 years for Seeking Child Sex Incest Fantasy
British man Shuhel Mahboob Ali responded to an online ad last year posted by a undercover agent posing as the father of an underage girl living here in the States. According to federal agents in charge of the sting, Ali's initial response was that he wanted to "settle down with a girl and raise a couple of daughters for 'the lifestyle.'"
Ali described in detail what he wanted to do with his new teenage wife, saying he wanted to "breed", raising an all daughter family. The criminal complaint for Ali's case said that if he [Ali] got the teen pregnant he would want to start abusing their newborn daughter immediately after the mid-wife left. Agents also said Ali described past experiences where he sexually abused children.
Last year on April 13, Ali, 40, travelled to the United States, from London to Sanford, to be with his new teenage wife and create an incestuous family only to be met with federal agents. Authorities said they found two hooded face masks, bondage tape, condoms (although, if he wanted to "breed" I don't know why he would need condoms), cameras among other things in his suitcase along with child porn on his laptop.
Ali pleaded guilty to enticing a minor to engage in sexual activity.

News and of others stories
One day I shall open a news paper or log in on net and read some good news in the world!!!
But for the remanding time I shall simply skim throught the ones that are less relevant for me and try and not be too discouraged by all the garbage that gets printed out.
Elections in Afghanistan.
Maybe the less damaging news I have read in a long time.
It always surprises me the capacity that manking has to creat weapons capable of causing so much damage to bodies.
And the willingness that goes with the killing.
It is true when in combat you protect youself and the ones in your company,anyone else is presume an enemy!
Rightfully so,because no-one goes to an area of conflict thinking "I hope I shall not kill anyone!",that would be too naive to even consider.
But I have to think more broadly and reason myself about who we are fighting here and who are they using as human shields.
And in the process I see only one undeniable truth.
When trying to reason with people who are uncapable of trying to find common ground to see a way out without the lost of human lives,you are better off killing them all!
Trust me on this one,people who can`t talk themselfs out of an argument and are quickly capable of reaching to arms to win their point of view are people you can`t reason to.
The most dificult part of being a officer of peace is the ability to make the perpetrator to see reason of his/hers actions.
Accountability for ones actions means ultimely to be responsable maybe for something that may or not be very shameful,so be very careful of what you do and think wisely before caring any actions that you will have to answer for,even if the same are in the defence of ones country or in the name of an army.
You are still accountable for your own actions.
Besides one has free will!
I barely read any uplifting stories these days,unless it is here and sometimes not even here.
Do we like to dwell in the fall of makind actions ?
Is that why there are so many violent stories writen here ?
Where is all the good feeling ones ?
The ones full of moral and any good teachings to our young ones ?
Where are thoses ?
What have we become ?
Who are we ?
I need to do more research...

... pizza. I assumed the sauce was chocolate sauce. I was happily eating said chocolate sauce, yummy!! Beautiful, warm, milk chocolate sauce. Delicious.
The waitress came to see what we thought of the dessert and Tom asked what the sauce was. Turns out it was a balsamic sauce. I HATE balsamic. Loathe.
Tried the 'chocolate' (beautiful) sauce again and it tasted like gross, vinegary balsamic and it left a bad taste in my mouth. Bizarre experience.

Mobile Suit Gundam 00 - Episode 11 Discussion / Poll
Welcome to the discussion thread for Mobile Suit Gundam 00, Episode 11.
Thread Guidelines
so, think Hal will be making an appearance this week?
doesn't seem to be much to add to him a mere episode after he did some particularly terrible things.
Wonder when the preview for the next episode will show up :D
that looks interesting ... I hope we will find out more about tieria.
Pride: Spoiler tags please for the images.
Sounds like an awesome episode, can't wait!
Shame we's gotta wait till Monday/Tuesday for english subs eh?
It looks like, from the pictures supplied, we got the REAL reason why Hallelujah exists. I won't know until the subs, but it appears it wasn't experiments that drove Allelujah crazy.:heh:
Spoiler for hypothesis:
If my theory is right, then it makes sense for Hallelujah to claim that he does all the dirty work for Allelujah's sake. Allelujah couldn't take responsibility, and one has to wonder if he is really the "good twin" at all.:heh:
Just finished the raws... I am not sure, even now, if what happened to the research faculty classified as a "good" or "bad" act.
Spoiler for episode spoiler:
All that psychic screams reminds me of the classic quote:
I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced. :eyespin::twitch:
A very interesting episode.
I would have probably given this ep a 10 if not for the later half feeling a bit rushed (the actual events feel a bit too isolated and easy) and some other things. However, the human drama was definitely 10/10.
Meanwhile, there's a certain feeling of people closing in on CB in some ways - Graham gets word of HRL's attack on CB and feels confident that it showed it is actually possible to confront and defeat CB, and the scientists are getting closer to understanding how the Gundams operate and why there's only 4. And Saji's sister has noticed that CB has been recruiting scientists to help develop technology - might not be possible to find actual evidence of CB's true intent, but by covering their historical actions, maybe a lot could be discovered.
On the other hand, I feel that CB might have come out of the conflict strengthened internally - by the end of the episode at least. Tieria seems to appreciate what Allelujah went through, for example.
I enjoyed Allelujah's conversations with himself. (Was it supposed to be irony that someone walked in on him this time? "It's a miss-understanding!") It was also interesting seem him at the end of the ep when about to fire on the facility. Allelujah wanted to "save" them (rescue them somehow) but Hallelujah points out that it's unrealistic and that the pity Allelujah feels for the children is not something the children themselves would understand - and ditto for the female pilot they felt.
I particularly liked the bit when you see "flashbacks" to Allelujah/Hallelujah's past but then they're talking "live" and suddenly it's not Hallelujah pointing a gun at some kid but Allelujah and Hallelujah facing each other.
Anyway, next week looks like the plot finally kicks into the main event (for the first 26 eps), when events really start to move to Azadistan. Looks like Setsuna goes there, and in this ep, Alejandro's companion suggests that Marina go visit the construction site herself - which Miss not-smiling-so-much-anymore suggests would make a good opportunity for assassination. Drum roll...
PS Allelujah reveals at the end of the ep that he's just turned 20, so Sumeragi lets him have a drink... (Given that she previously invited Tieria to drinks, does this mean we can say for certain that he's over 20 - or at least that Sumeragi thinks he is?)
A very good episode. Some interesting Allelujah stuffs...Yay for Setsuna next episode (I'm praying for more development on him).
Another perfect episode for me
I have to laugh at Tieria's reaction in this episode. He's actually blaming Sumeragi for causing him to reveal Nadleh. Tieria is back to his old self again :heh:
Allelujah is definitely an interesting character. It seems that Hallelujah is the split personality that appears to do whatever necessary to ensure his (their) survival and does all the dirty works. I enjoy seeing both personality interacting, and Hallelujah laughing at Allelujah, criticizing him for pretending to be kind while using Hallelujah as an excuse to do all the cruel things...I want to know more about Al and Hal! :D
There's a space colony?Wow...I though the 3 nations are still building it?
Kyrios destroying the Super Soldier research facility is an amazing scene. Allelujah screaming and the Kyrios just looks badass. I feel sorry for all the poor kids, but I guess there's no way for them to live except being used as machine...but I doubt this is the last of the research though
I kinda forget Setsuna is the main character now. Glad to see the following episodes will involve him. Let's hope he will get more line!
And happy birthday to Allelujah!

15 Small Changes for Faster Weight Loss
Research shows that taking baby steps--not giant leaps--is the best way to get lasting results...
A study published in the Annals of Behavioral Medicine found that participants who made one small, potentially permanent change in their food choices and/or physical activity each week- lost more than twice as much belly fat, 2½ more inches off their waistlines, and about 4 times more weight during a 4-month program, compared with those who followed traditional calorie-restriction and physical-activity guidelines. (Huffington Post)
15 Small Changes for Faster Weight Loss
1. Pick up a pen: Keep a food journal.
2. Skip through commercials: Skip, dance, squat...whatever. When the commercials are on, you're moving.
3. Limit high-fat foods: Think cookies, candy, ice cream, potato chips, and fries. Gradually downshift the amount you eat. If you're eating 6 o these foods per week, try to go down to 5.
4. Sign up for e-newsletters: One study from Kaiser Permanente found that people who received weekly e-mails about diet and fitness for 16 weeks substantially increased their levels of physical activity and intake of healthy foods.
5. Walk 5 minutes more: A little extra exercise each day will really add up over the course of a year.

What they say
I've listened from the start. You have the only local show worth listening to. Yes, you're a little controversial, but that's what makes you who you are! By the way – Go Wolfpack… Howwwl!!!Jimmy Gardner - Loyal Listener, Lake City, SC
Talk Radio – more specifically, sports talk radio – can be an invigorating, enlightening source of entertainment. If done right… That brings me to Allen Smothers, who seems to have the energy and the desire to draw this area into the sports talk arena. …"Mark Jaworski - Sports Editor, Fayetteville, NC Observer
Thank you for choosing to bring your show to the Pee Dee and thanks for all that you do for sports in the surrounding areas. It is good that our area is getting the recognition it deserves. Also, thanks for bringing E-Daddy back. You guys are an awesome team!Roger Smiley - Loyal Listener, Sumter, SC
Even as a lifelong Clemson fan, I can't wait to hear what E~Daddy has to say about his Gamecocks and our rivalry each week. I won't say I respect it, but I know he's as passionate as I am on the other end of the spectrum."Tiger" Mark Keefe - Loyal Listener, Coward, SC
I knew the first time I heard Allen & Emerson, they had the talent and knowledge to not only attract sports fans, but non-sports fans as well, because their show is fun and entertaining and it's something we've needed for years!Tommy Johnson - Socastee HS Boy's Basketball Coach, Myrtle Beach, SC

Young Playwrights shapes the way teachers teach by incorporating arts education into classrooms and across curricula. Introducing playwriting and theatre to constituencies who might not otherwise have been exposed to theatre participation, Young Playwrights improves arts accessibility, fosters community, and develops diverse, aesthetically aware new audiences for the future.

Sonuçta, kesinlikle mükemmel. Londra City 20 dakika ve hemen alanında dükkanlar için tüp bağlantısı çok keyif aldık. Daire, küçük ve çok işlevsel. Oldukça temiz ve tam donanımlı. Yaklaşık bir hafta boyunca dört tamamen tavsiye etmek. Yine her zaman.
Alles in allem absolut perfekt. Die Tube-Anbindung nach London City 20 Minuten und die Läden in direkter Umgebung haben uns sehr gut gefallen. Die Wohnung ist klein und sehr zweckmäßig. Ziemlich sauber und komplett ausgestattet. Zu viert für eine knappe Woche uneingeschränkt zu empfehlen. Jederzeit wieder.
The host cancelled the booking, this review is automated.
Great host, nice location, very recommended!
When I arrived in the apartment, the manager said the pipe of the apartment is out of order. So, he proposed to stay the temporary apartment for two days.
The temporary apart was very dirty, very small, a lot of roachs and bad bed.
I could not sleep the temporary area. My family was very unhappy yo the situation.
I complained to the manager the next day and then he move us better apartment. After two days from our arrived, we could go to our apartment,
Finally, the apartment that I reserved was good location and nice. The manager was very kind and supported all.
But we have to move three times and had bad image for London travel and wasted times during my vacation for the period.
We enjoyed our stay in this appartement. It was clean and cosy. Joe is verry friendly and helpful. The neighboorhood was quit. The tube station (central line) is 15 minutes (walking) away.
Host to 1 day before the stay tried to change the terms of the agreement. During booking we informed that we will come around 22.00. The host wanted to tell us the keys until about 7 in the morning saying that we will be aloud to check in and it bothers the neighbors. Later, another attempt to necessarily send a taxi for us despite the fact that I had purchased tickets for the subway. After rejecting taxi poor contact, barges answer questions. Apartment little dirty. Overall quality of the average.
Joe is nice and pleasant, despite a last minute changement of apartment we spent good vacation in London.
The apartment was clean ans spacious for 4 persons.
A bit far away from the underground (need to take the car) but calm and well furnished.
Joe is a very friendly and cordial. Gave us a lot of information to get around London. The neighborhood is quiet, the transportation is very good, has good access to the center. It only takes 30 minutes to get to London eye.
The apartment is very cozy, heated, large comfortable beds. All new and clean. We spent five great days in London. Clearly Lumphini.
Very nice to stay there in London,
the host was very kind and offered us his help for every second :)
so we were well received and
always again to Joe Rhys
