Rage in a Cage
Amateurs have a go at extreme fighting
Boxing is the "sweet science," studied by tough guys whose Bunsen burners are jabs and hooks. But it's not the only form of combat that distills the chaos of fighting into an ordered, practical art. Tae kwon do, wrestling, jiujitsu, kickboxing and aikido are other violent "sciences," and let's face it: In a good old-fashioned brawl, it helps to know more than one. Hence the sport of extreme fighting: head-to-head combat that combines the disciplines of fisticuffs, grappling and martial arts -- all to find out who's the best at kicking ass. This weekend, Renegades Extreme Cage Fighting is pitting pairs of amateur fighters in a chain-link ring until, well, until someone loses. It simulates, in the test tube of a cage, a street fight. Says Saul Solis, an organizer of the event, "This is the most reality-based combat, and nobody goes to jail." The competition will bring in fighters big and small to vie for trophies, belts and perhaps a shot at the Ultimate Fighting Championships -- the state science fair of extreme combat. 8 p.m. Saturday, May 22. Verizon Wireless Theater, 520 Texas. For information, call 713-230-1600 or visit www.verizonwirelesstheater.com. $20 to $50. -- Eric Norvell
The Hoopla 3on3 Streetball Tour is your best chance to catch a glimpse of the NBA stars of tomorrow, when all they care about is the love of the game. You know, before it's all about the bling-bling, that shiny black Escalade, the groupies and those bothersome courtroom appearances. Played on a schoolyard-size asphalt court, the three-on-three games in various divisions last 30 minutes or until a team scores 20 points (one point per bucket, two from downtown). There are also slam-dunk, free-throw and three-point shot competitions. And hey, if you check out the competition in G-town and think you got game, Houston hosts its Hoopla qualifying event August 14 and 15 at Rice University. 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday, May 22 and 23. Wal-Mart parking lot at 6702 Seawall in Galveston. For information, call 800-507-4667 or visit www.hoopla3on3.com. Free. -- Greg Barr

It may not have been the Oscar-stealing smash both might have been hoping for, but Jamie Foxx and Robert Downey Jr clearly enjoyed the experience of teaming up for Joe Wright's current LA-set drama The Soloist. According to the Hollywood Reporter, they are to reunite for the latest movie from Todd Phillips, director of recent well-received comedy The Hangover.
Due Date, which also stars Michelle Monaghan and Zach Galifianakis, is billed as a road-trip movie about a highly-strung father-to-be (Downey Jr) forced to hitch a ride with a college slacker (Galifianakis) to make it to the birth on time.
Foxx will play an old friend of Downey's who once dated his wife (Monaghan) and secretly keeps in touch with her. The project also reunites the latter pair, who appeared together in Shane Black's action comedy Kiss Kiss Bang Bang in 2005.
The Soloist, about a newspaper columnist who befriends a down and out former musical prodigy who now sleeps rough on the streets, was originally tipped for an Oscar run. In the end, its release was delayed until April in the US, putting it out of contention for the 2009 Academy Awards, and the film only reached UK cinemas at the weekend.
Galifianakis was one of the standout performers in The Hangover. He played the uncomfortable-in-his-own-skin Alan, one of a trio of stag party revellers who must retrace their steps after losing their friend Doug in Las Vegas the day before his wedding following a night of debauchery they cannot remember. The Guardian's Peter Bradshaw called it "really very funny an awful lot of the time, as well as bizarrely gripping".
Due Date will shoot in Atlanta, New Mexico and Los Angeles this Autumn.

The Christians in Rome would have fancied their chances of clambering out of the Colosseum unscathed had they encountered lions such as these. While some people may take comfort from the fact that the next generation of England batsmen have nothing to learn from their seniors in the little matter of middle-order batting collapses Geoff Miller, the national selector, cannot be counted in their number.
Miller looked jaunty enough in the morning, as the opening batsmen Rob Key and Michael Carberry survived until lunch. But a little dyspepsia may have set in in after the interval as England contrived to lose five wickets for 40 runs before some quality cudgelling from Luke Wright rescued the day.
This is a funny looking England team. It is strangely misshapen, like a panto lion. The specialist batting stops at Owais Shah, who batted at three, and was followed by a succession of all-rounders, so that if you view the side standing on your head it looks much the same. With Key, Shah, Matt Prior, Graeme Swann and Matthew Hoggard in the line-up this is not as callow a side as one might have expected but they still struggled against an unfancied New Zealand team who are without their captain, Daniel Vettori.
Vettori, who has yet to have stitches removed from the left hand he gashed while felding at Chelmsford last weekend, is still hopeful of playing in the first Test at Lord's next Thursday. Without him, the bowling looked solid but hardly penetrative, though there was swing and bounce. Key, who had won the toss, and Carberry batted like men whose world had never been tainted by Twenty20 cricket. Carberry is, by nature, a left-handed dasher but here he batted for 11 minutes more than three hours for his 41. He was so heavily disguised in dourness that he might have been a man attempting to escape his debtors.
Key batted for two hours and three minutes for his 24 so by lunch the score was only 48 from 29 overs. Only one run had been added when Key, so strong on the leg side, fell over slightly as he attempted to work a straight and full delivery through midwicket and was lbw.
Shah has been shabbily treated by England and here was a chance for him to make a point. But he had scored only three when he pushed forward to Chris Martin and was caught behind. Then Ravi Bopara, playing no stroke, inside-edged into his stumps for seven. Matt Prior has been in terrific form but he had made only 10 when he drove loosely and was caught in the gully and without addition Carberry was caught at mid-on; 89 for five.
Wright and the ungainly Adil Rashid then added 81 for the sixth wicket in 25 overs before the latter drove straight to extra-cover, the first of three wickets in six overs for Oram. Wright, who reached his century with a murderous slog-sweep over midwicket for six off Southee found another stout partner in Hoggard. The pair added 77 for ninth wicket before Hoggard was bowled by Southee. Wright was last out for 120 when he smashed the ball to cover. He had faced just 131 balls and struck 16 fours and two sixes. His first maximum was a magnificent straight blow off Martin. England had a lion king at last.

Luis Suarez is by some distance the best player Steven Gerrard has played with at Liverpool and one who the England captain believes has shown his true character this season.
Few expected to see the Uruguayan don the red shirt again after a summer of speculation, controversy and frustration, yet the 27-year-old was persuaded to stay at Anfield and the rewards reaped by all parties have been spectacular.
Putting the negative headlines behind him, Suarez netted a remarkable 31 goals as the Reds came within touching distance of a first top-flight title in 24 years.
That form saw him sweep up at the end-of-season awards, including the Football Writers' Footballer of the Year award which was collected on his behalf by manager Brendan Rodgers on Thursday.
Liverpool captain Gerrard believes that award is particularly special as it highlights Suarez's "huge turnaround", and is deserved recognition for the club's best player this millennium.
"I've been privileged to play alongside some great players during my years at Liverpool but nobody comes close to Luis," the Reds skipper said.
"He's not only the best, he's the best by some distance.
"We've all seen what he's done this season with his goals and his all-round brilliance and I think it's taken Luis on to a different level.
"Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo are the two best players in the world and have been for the last four or five years, but Luis is tucked right in there behind them now."
This season has seen quite the turnaround from Suarez, who last year received just two votes in the FWA poll.
He has come full circle since serving a 10-match ban for biting Chelsea defender Branislav Ivanovic, with his behaviour vastly-improved to that seen in previous seasons.
"People look at him and will still pick up on the controversy that he's been involved with over the last couple of years," Gerrard said in the awards programme.
"But I prefer to judge a person by how he responds to setbacks and the way Luis has responded has been magnificent.
"He was incredibly despondent last summer. He knew he'd let himself and the club down but, more importantly, he felt he'd let his family down."
Alternative Premier League Team of the Season 2013/14
Alternative Premier League Team of the Season 2013/14
1/10 David Marshall (Cardiff)
An honourable place goes to the goalkeeper, who has made nearly 150 saves in the league this season for beleaguered Cardiff. He has also conceded 71, mind…
Getty Images
2/10 Morgan Amalfitano (WBA)
As the old saying goes, the West Brom player is not a "great goal scorer, but a scorer of great goals". Manchester United and Cardiff will certainly attest.
3/10 Kolo Toure (Liverpool)
As the old saying goes (II), the Liverpool defender is not a "great own-goal scorer, but a scorer of great own goals". Fulham will certainly attest.
Getty Images
4/10 Dan Burn (Fulham)
The towering Fulham defender makes the team for easily dealing with a total of 81 crosses from Manchester United in the 2-2 draw at Old Trafford, and then compared the champions to a lowly team from the Conference. He later said that this was not meant as an insult, but to most watching the game it looked like he was giving an accurate description.
5/10 Wilfried Zaha (Manchester United)
The curious case of Wilfried Zaha. Signed as the "Next Big Thing" by Sir Alex Ferguson for £10m in January 2013 after winning two England caps with Crystal Palace in the Championship. After joining up at Old Trafford from last season's loan spell at Palace, he made only two appearances under David Moyes before being shipped to Cardiff on loan. He had plenty of time on his hands, then, to fiercely deny an alleged relationship with Moyes' daughter, saying that they had "never even met".
6/10 Kevin Nolan (West Ham)
Every team needs a bit of fire in the middle…although Nolan took this to another level between 7 December and 1 January, when he was handed two reds cards in the space of four matches. The festive season does do strange things to people.
7/10 Kim Kallstrom (Arsenal)
He could have been a great loan signing to deputise in the absence of Aaron Ramsey. Then came the shock of the beach ball incident, fingers were waved and three months later he finally made an appearance for the club, 12 days before Ramsey returned, rendering the whole deal pretty much pointless, unless he scores the winner in the FA Cup final...
8/10 Stephen Ireland (Stoke City)
Now his 'dead' grandmother is back on the scene and allegedly talking to his national team assistant coach Roy Keane, Ireland could be back playing for Ireland soon. An integral part of Mark Hughes' new ball-playing Stoke juggernaut.
9/10 Shane Long (WBA/ Hull City)
The striker has scored under double figures in all competitions, but he can rest assured that for 10 glorious minutes at The Hawthorns he was nothing short of world class, scoring two magnificent goals in West Brom's 2-2 draw with local rivals Aston Villa. It all went downhill for the next 80 minutes however.
Getty Images
10/10 Samuel Eto'o (Chelsea)
33 or 35, veteran Samuel Eto'o continues to bang them in whatever division he is in. And who didn't love that 'old man' celebration in response to manager Jose Mourinho questioning his real age.
Gerrard continued: "They mean so much to him that he didn't want his children growing up and reading about just the bad things he's done, he wanted them to see the positive side of their dad.
"As captain, I was there for him. We talked a fair few times and I tried to be as supportive as I possibly could.
"It doesn't matter what words you come up with, though, it's down to the lad himself to respond - and Luis has certainly done that.
"Yes, I think there were times in the summer when he wanted to leave Liverpool, that he thought he needed a change.
"One thing I'll say for this club is that they weren't just strong in standing by Luis, they also made him realise just how important he was to their plans this season."

Diversified medical firm Covidien (COV) narrowly beat analysts' fiscal Q4 estimates and affirmed its 2013 guidance, sending shares up 6% in early trading Friday, near 56.70.
The company early Friday reported earnings minus items of $1.02 a share, down 6% from the year-ago quarter but 2 cents more than Wall Street's consensus. Sales fell 3% to $3 billion, slightly above analysts' $2.98 billion forecast.
Covidien, based in Ireland but drawing half its revenue from the U.S., suffered from the same foreign-exchange head winds that have battered the top lines of so many global medical companies this earnings season. The firm also said its fiscal Q4 2011 included an extra selling week, hurting year-over-year comparisons.
For the fiscal year ended Sept. 30, sales rose 2.4% to $11.85 billion while EPS climbed 7.3% to $4.26. Both were slightly above consensus.
In the company's press release, CEO Jose Almeida said "we remain comfortable with the sales and operating margin guidance we issued in September." At the annual investor meeting that month, the company said net sales should increase 3% to 6% vs. 2012 and that profit margin would be 22%-23%. The firm had to lower its guidance for both Q4 and 2013 in late August after it had to recall a surgical product due to safety issues. Analysts currently expect 2013 EPS of $4.42.
Covidien's stock hit an all-time high near 61 on Oct. 5, which along with a string of solid quarters pushed its IBD Composite Rating above 90. It sold off after that along with the rest of IBD's Medical Products group, as companies like Edwards Lifesciences (EW) and NuVasive (NUVA) started issuing warnings that Q3 results would fall short, largely on European woes.

If you're thinking of moving with your cats to the UK, you'll quickly discover there's a lot of rules, regulations, and paperwork involved. It is an understandable policy, considering that present rabies doesn't occur in the UK, and the aim is to keep this terrible disease (and others) out. If your cats don't qualify for the Pet Travel Scheme (PETS) then they will have to go through quarantine.
What is the Pet Travel Scheme (PETS)?
The Pet Travel Scheme (PETS) is like a passport system for cats, which enables cats (and dogs and ferrets) from specified countries to enter the UK without quarantine, provided all the rules are met.
This includes having a microchip, valid vaccinations, and a blood test for rabies. For the current requirements, see the Defra website (UK's Department for Environment, Food, and Rural Affairs). If you can't meet all these requirements, or you're moving from a country not listed, then your cats and you will have to endure quarantine.
Cats Quarantine in the UK
Cats not qualifying under PETS have to be quarantined for six months at an approved facility at your own expense. You have to obtain an import license and arrange for quarantine before moving. Your cats will be collected at the airport (or port of entry) by the quarantine kennels, cleared through customs, and taken to the quarantine facilities. You may not collect your cats yourself, but you can visit them in quarantine as often as you like.
I interviewed Marion Boddy-Evans, About.com former Guide to Painting. She and her husband, Alistair Boddy-Evans, Former Guide to African History, had moved with their cats from South Africa to the UK in 2008.
Their cats were in quarantine for six months. Marion shared this experience:
When we moved from South Africa to the UK we selected a quarantine facility near Heathrow airport because we knew cats faced a 12-hour flight, plus all the waiting time to pass through customs. In the end, they traveled for nearly 24 hours, door to door, in their cat crates. Our choice meant we had to travel some distance to visit them during quarantine, but we decided this was better than making them travel for even longer before they got into quarantine. At the end of the quarantine period, the quarantine kennels transported them to our new home, using the crates they'd flown in originally.
Flying Cats
Although cats fly in the cargo hold of a plane, this is a heated and pressurized space. Pet transport companies will provide you with a sturdy crate that meets the airline's requirements (which has got to do with holes that aren't so big paws can be poked out, for instance). All the relevant address and customs labels are stuck to this, and the door should be secured with a keyring or plastic tie so it can't open accidentally. Shred some newspaper and place a clean blanket on top of this. If your cats will be traveling for a long time, freeze the water in the water container so it will be drinkable later in the flight.
What to Expect from Quarantine
A quarantine kennels isn't a pampered cat hotel but are more like a basic hostel. Marion shares more experiences:
We found the facilities to be meticulously clean every time we visited, quality brands of food were used, and the person in charge of that section was devoted to the cats under her care. We were able to provide blankets, baskets, and climbing poles as well as food treats. When we asked for a specific food for one of our cats who had lost weight, this was provided.
Our cats shared three to a kennel, but if you've only one cat she'll be by herself. The individual kennel areas were small, but had a window (covered with metal mesh) that opened to the fresh air and a metal mesh gateway to the corridor. There was also a small heating unit for winter. A vet was available if necessary, and the pet insurance the kennels organized covered the bill up to a limit.
Boredom is a factor, especially for cats used to having space to explore and play. Cats who thrive on a comfy spot to sleep, food, brushing, and a bit of love will get all those. Marion said that her youngest, most active cat took to tossing the cat litter out of the tray in boredom! She and Alistair tried to compensate with home-alone cat toys, like a mouse that squeaks when it's touched. She adds, "Now he's home, he's fortunately not showing any hangover from his time in quarantine (and not tossing kitty litter anywhere)."
Visiting Quarantine Kennels
If at all possible, you and/or a family member should arrange to visit your cats in quarantine, as often as possible. No matter how well-planned your move to the UK has been, travel of any kind is inherently stressful to cats, and a feeling of abandonment is something to avoid at all costs.
It is especially important to visit regularly if you only have one cat in quarantine. Although is was a day-long trip, Marion visited her cats regularly. She told me:
I can't imagine not visiting. Sure, it's not the kind of place you'd normally spend an afternoon, but you need to remind your kitties you haven't forgotten them. They certainly remembered and were pleased to see us. Though not as pleased as we all were when six months were finally up and both kitties and humans were home together at last.
Although a long-distance move with cats may seem like a daunting prospect, with careful planning and research, it can be done successfully, as Marion and Alistair have demonstrated. Ghost and Buffy, pictured here in their new home in Scotland, could be saying, "There's no place like home."

Errol Morris doesn't have much truck with the old saw about a picture being worth 1,000 words. For him, a picture, especially a documentary photograph, often needs 1,000 words – at the very least. And sometimes, if five or six photos are involved, an entire book.
The 63-year-old Oscar-winning documentary filmmaker and director of TV commercials (more than 80 for Miller High Life alone) has done just that with Believing is Seeing, a 310-page illustration-packed plunge into "the mysteries of photography."
Amazingly, it's the first book for this self-described fan of irony, who in 1989 received a "genius grant" from the MacArthur Foundation, and won an Academy Award in 2003 for The Fog of War: Eleven Lessons from the Life of Robert S. McNamara. As Morris documentary devoteeswill attest, the man's nothing if not an obsessive empiricist for whom little, if anything, is self-evident. Witness 1988's The Thin Blue Line, in which Morris conclusively demonstrated the innocence of a drifter wrongly convicted in the murder of a Texas police officer. (How many times did he make us see that same chocolate milkshake hit the pavement before we clued into its significance? Eleven? Thirteen?)
The same relentless, repetitive rigour is evident in Believing, as he scrutinizes seven documentary photographs, famous and otherwise (the oldest date from the Crimean War of 1853-56, the most recent shot six years ago in Iraq's notorious Abu Ghraib prison) to "mine the gap" between the "swatch of reality" conveyed in the image and the world in which it was shot. In the process, he ping-pongs the reader between states of rapt absorption and eye-rubbing irritation.
It's the former philosophy student's contention that "all photographs are posed. To take a photograph is to pose something," as he confidently and jovially remarked the other day on the phone from his office in Boston. "Every frame excludes something and for that reason alone you can consider it a version of posing."
Enshrine a photograph as a separate entity and it can become prey to all sorts of assumptions, presumptions and misconceptions – what Morris likes to call "social meaning." Better instead to see the photograph as an opportunity to go on a field trip into history – as Morris literally did in 2005, travelling to the Crimean site where, 150 years before, the pioneering documentary photographer Roger Fenton had shot two now-famous photographs of a cannonball-strewn valley.
Believing is Seeing had its first incarnation as a series of online essays, mostly on photographs, that Morris wrote for The New York Times' Opinionator blog. The project started in 2007 with an interrogation of the infamous "hooded man" photograph from Abu Ghraib in late 2003, and the 2006 front-page photo in the Times of Iraqi Ali Shalal Qaissi claiming (and the Times largely affirming – wrongly, it turned out) to be the hooded man.
Nine months later, Morris posted a complementary rumination on the equally notorious snapshot of a smiling Abu Ghraib MP Sabrina Harman giving the thumbs-up over the corpse of a tortured Iraqi inmate. These pictures subsequently became key elements in Standard Operating Procedure, Morris's acclaimed 2008 documentary, in which he argued that the pictures, on their own, scapegoated the likes of Harman and that their content was not as "obvious" as it appeared to be.
"I continue the discussion in book form," Morris explained, "because a movie can only go so far and I felt in written form I can address things that would be far too difficult to put in a movie, especially in a movie that had no narration by me."
In Believing, an expert on facial expressions tells Morris that Sgt. Harman's smile is not one of genuine enjoyment but a "forced smile, the social smile." We learn that the Iraqi pictured in the Times in 2006 eventually admitted he was not the "hooded man" in the famous photograph – though he was in Abu Ghraib at the same time and had been photographed wearing the same sort of hooded garment. (Morris says he knows the name of the "real" hooded man, Abdou Hussain Saad Faleh, and spent a year searching, unsuccessfully, to find him.)
"I never saw myself as a writer," Morris said with a chuckle. "I had writer's block for, well, decades … so when the Times asked me to write I never thought I could do it. But I did and now I've written maybe a million words." One result of the spew is that Morris now has two more books on the go, neither of which deals directly with photographs.
Nevertheless, his fascination with the myth that photos, "snatched from the fabric of reality," can be "a magic path to the truth," remains undiminished. In theory at least, the plenitude of documentary images out there suggests an infinity of Believing is Seeing sequels.
In fact, Morris confesses to wanting to do a book on "just this one bizarre photograph" he came upon two or three years ago. A picture of "a landscape covered with eggs in every direction," it was taken on an isolated, barren island in the Hawaiian archipelago in 1892. The more Morris has delved into its content and circumstances, the more it's become a kind of ur-image, "connecting me to Laura Bush, Margaret Mitchell and Gone with the Wind …and on and on in a sort of marvellous shaggy photo story." Does he have a title for this story? "How about," he laughed, " The End of Everything?"Report Typo/Error

The quick answer is no. But the second part of that is that @domainname.com is not needed. The portal is logged into using only the username and password. No domain name is included because SpiceWorks only works with a single AD domain so that information is already in SW and does not need to be entered again.
Or is the issue that you are not using AD and you are only using email addresses? If that is the case then they just have to know their email address. Not too much way to get around someone knowing some way to reliably identify themselves.
Is someone who doesn't know their own email address able to fill out useful tickets?

We're not done yet, insists England after loss to Samoa
England suffer a big loss against Samoa but coach vows to return stronger, while South Africa also take a beating at the hands of Argentina
Related topics
England and South Africa will have their backs to the wall today as they fight to get into the Cup quarter-finals after losing their opening games yesterday.
England will meet old enemy Scotland with the pressure on their shoulders after Samoa knocked the stuffing out of them in a powerful and consummate performance which stunned most of the packed stadium on the opening night of the Cathay Pacific/HSBC Hong Kong Sevens.
The 38,530 fans, most of them rooting for England, were shell-shocked after the Pacific Islanders stormed to a 28-7 victory, made even more emphatic by the fact that England never put a foot into their opponent's half before the break.
If this didn't fall into the category of a 'shock result' - England have fared dismally for most of the season barring their Wellington Cup title - then South Africa's demise at the hands of Argentina certainly was.
Argentina, with their trademark ironclad defence holding firm, kept the more-fancied South Africans to a scoreless first half before running in three tries after the break to rush to a 21-0 win. The other top seed in the remaining two pools, New Zealand and Fiji, emerged unscathed.
But England coach Ben Ryan, seeking his first Cup title in seven visits, refused to be downbeat.
"We haven't been knocked out or won anything based on winning or losing the Friday night game," he said. "I've stood in this same spot five years ago after defeating Samoa on the opening night and they came back and beat us two days later in the Cup quarter-finals.
"We win our next two games, we go into the quarter-finals. It is as simple as that. I'm a glass half-full guy, and I know we will use our possession - which we didn't get enough today - a lot better tomorrow," Ryan said.
First-up will be Scotland who will be fired up after losing to Portugal. Ryan is aware of it. "Another loss and they will be in the relegation zone so they will have a lot to play for," he said.
If Ryan has waited seven years for the chance to feel what it is like for England to lift the title again, his South African counterpart, Paul Treu, and the Blitzbokke have never won in the 20 years they have been turning up in Hong Kong. And Treu admitted last night's setback was severe, especially when you are in a pool with Wales and Australia.
"No doubt about it, this is a disappointing start for us," Treu said. "There are now no second chances for us."
The New Zealand team celebrated their reunion with coach Gordon Tietjens - who only arrived yesterday morning having delayed his flight due to an ear infection - by handing him a 33-12 victory over France.
"The French came to play and they put us under a lot of pressure. Is always hard to play your first game of the tournament after a five- or six-week break and to put 30 points on them is very pleasing," said Tietjens.
Fiji, meanwhile, had the easiest of outings from among the top seeds, coming up against Hong Kong. It was a cakewalk.

Annie: Running back... Not what I wantMature
"Annie Stop!" Rosalita was watching me in shock.
"I'm not staying!" I snap back. "I know I did it and you did also before but we promised" I turn on her tears streaming down my face "You promise"
I held up my hand and slowly slid off the ring she had given me. I place it on top of Lilianna's dresser then turned back to pack my childs stuff. Rosalita had watched me silently with her eyes wide.
"I'm going to a hotel... I'll come back in the morning we'll talk then when I've calmed down" I say quietly. I pick up the baby carier then move past Rosalita out the room. She stays silent but... I just saw a small tear.
I get outside the taxi waiting and give directions to the driver. Not to the hotel I told Rosalita...... but to Johnathan's. I don't know why I'm doing this.
I knock on the door and he answers wearing only jeans. He freezes at the sight of me then smile's. He opens his mouth to speak but Lilianna lets out a cry. Johnathan looks down and looks opened mouthed.
I roll my eyes and walk straight past him. As I set down my bags and the carrier I hear the door close behind me. I pull out a ready made bottle from the bag and unbuckle Liliana. I begin to feed her bouncing her lightly.
"Come on drink..." I look at Johnathan whose watching confused. "She just came off breast milk she isn't use to the bottle yet"
"Why are you here Annie?" Johnathan asks. "Why are both of you here? I'm glad to see my child an all but..."
I give off a big sigh. "Me and Rosa... we've fallen out. I need somewhere to stay and... I don't want to be alone" I whisper the last part looking at the floor. Then I look up again. "Do you want to hold her?"
He's shocked but then smiles walking over. I explain how he should hold her and he takes Lilianna gently. "Her name's Lilian right?" He asks unsure.
"Lilianna" I say quietly. Carefully Johnathan handed her back over. I secured Lilianna comfortably in her carrier then as I turned back to Johnathan she fell slowly to sleep.
Johnathan was still watching Lilianna. "She looks so much like you" He whispers looking back to me. I smile lightly, the smile not reaching my eyes. Then he leans forward to kiss me. I let him and then I realised this was why I came. I wanted some sort of love and no matter how obvious the bruises had been..... it was still obvious to anyone that he did in some way love me.
His lips were soft but his hands were firm as they slid beneath her shirt. I pulled back. "Not in front of her" I whisper. Johnathan smiles. He lifts me up by the waist and carries me into the bedroom.

Chinese Type 56 assault rifle, cal. 7.62mm, rifled, four grooved barrel, 415mm long, detachable curved box magainze holds 30 rounds, wooden stock, pistol grip and foreend, two sling swivels. Fixed rearsight to 800m. Stamped on left side of receiver '66', framed in triangle, three Chinese characters - ( wu liu shi, or 56 Type), and serial number 10121943.
The Type 56 assault rifle is the Chinese copy of the Russian AK-47 Kalashnikov (the 'AK' prefix standing for 'Automat Kalashnikov', after the gun's designer, Mikail Kalashnikov). It was first manufactured in 1956, given the model it's name, and was produced by the State Factory 66 - whose mark is stamped on the left of the receiver - from the year of its introduction until 1973. Since 1973, the Type has been produced by Norinco, the Chinese North Industries Corporation, which continues to produce defence products, many of them adaptations of Sovient-era weapons. Although the Chinese People's Liberation Army replaced the Type 56 with the Type 81 in the 1980s, Norinco continue to produce the model for export customers.
Like the well-known AK-47, The Type 56 has become one of the synonmous weapons aligned with Communist regimes, seeing service in conflicts in Korean, Vietnam, and Cambodia, and subsequently with insurgency groups from former Soviet countries like Afghanistan, through to South America and Africa. The weapon was provided to Afghan Mujahideen in the 1980s, both directly by China but also by the United States through third-party dealers, to fight the Soviet forces, and in more recent decades the weapon has seen extensive use in the Balkan theaters of war during the 1990s, being used heavily by the Kosovo Liberation Army.

LAS VEGAS - DECEMBER 02: NASCAR driver Kasey Kahne speaks at Las Vegas Motorspeedway for the Roast of four time NASCAR Champion Jimmie Johnson during Day 1 of the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Champions Week on December 2, 2009 in Las Vegas, Nevada. (Photo by Todd Warshaw/Getty Images for NASCAR)
KAHNE ON CLEVELAND SHOW: Kasey Kahne will be one of three NASCAR Sprint Cup drivers, including teammate Dale Earnhardt Jr., to be featured on "The Cleveland Show" this Sunday, March 17 at 7:30 p.m. ET/PT. LAS VEGAS RECAP: Most recently, Kahne dominated the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series event at Las Vegas Motor Speedway on March 10. The 32-year-old driver lined up fourth, led a race-high 114 laps and recorded his second runner-up result at the 1.5-mile track. Kahne was the biggest mover in the standings after the race, climbing 17 spots to 14th in the driver standings. SPEEDING FOR A CURE: On Tuesday evening, Kahne will join other NASCAR drivers and personalities as they team up with Autism Speaks for "Speeding for a Cure" at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. The special gala benefiting the autism community will be hosted by ESPN commentator Mike Tirico and will help raise funds and awareness for Autism Speaks and Gillen Brewer School, which specializes in educating children with challenging and often multiple disabilities. GREAT CLIPS: Great Clips will adorn the hood of Kahne's No. 5 Chevrolet SS this weekend at Bristol (Tenn.) Motor Speedway. The Minneapolis-based company will be the primary sponsor on the No. 5 Chevrolet for two more NASCAR Sprint Cup Series races this year: Indianapolis Motor Speedway (July 28) and New Hampshire Motor Speedway (Sept. 22). This season marks the first full year for Great Clips with Hendrick Motorsports and its 11th with Kahne. KAHNE AT BRISTOL: In 18 Sprint Cup starts at Bristol Motor Speedway, Kahne has one pole position, three top-five finishes, seven top-10s and has led a total of 347 laps. He earned his best finish at the short track in August 2007 when he started from the pole position and finished second. Most recently at the .533-mile short track in August 2012, Kahne led 42 laps and crossed the finish line ninth. BRISTOL LOOP DATA: According to NASCAR loop data during the last 16 Sprint Cup Series races at Bristol, Kahne ranks second in the closers category by improving 19 positions in the last 10 percent of laps in each race. He also ranks seventh in green-flag passes (716), eighth in laps led (347) and ninth in fastest laps run (285). SHORT TRACK STATS: Kahne's one short track victory happened at Richmond (Va.) International Raceway in 2005. Kahne started from the pole and dominated the race, leading 242 of 400 laps. He finished 12th in his most recent short track start at Richmond in September 2012. Kahne has nine top-five finishes and 17 top-10s in 54 starts on tracks less than one mile in length. CHASSIS CHOICE: Crew chief Kenny Francis will unload Hendrick Motorsports Chassis No. 5-769 for Sunday's event at Bristol. Kahne last raced this car March 3 at Phoenix International Raceway, where he recorded his first outside pole position of the 2013 season. SEASON-TO-DATE: In the first three events of the Cup season, Kahne leads all drivers with an average starting position of fourth. The driver of the No. 5 Chevy also ranks seventh with a driver rating of 94.4 among 2013 Cup drivers and sits second with 69 fastest laps posted. HENDRICK AT BRISTOL: In 58 Cup events (183 starts) at Bristol, Hendrick Motorsports has nine wins, 46 top-five finishes, 82 top-10s and 11 pole positions. Jeff Gordon is tied for first among active drivers with five wins at the track, while Johnson most recently went to Victory Lane there for the organization in March 2010. SHORT TRACK POWER: Among active drivers at tracks less than one mile in length, Hendrick Motorsports ranks atop the competition in wins and laps led; Gordon is first in both categories with 17 victories and 7,891 laps led. Gordon sits second with 61 top-five finishes (Terry Labonte has 62 among active drivers); and Gordon also ranks second with 18 pole positions (Mark Martin has 19 at tracks less than a mile in length). Heritage trivia? When it comes to racing at Bristol, Labonte earned his most recent top-five result (March 2000) at Bristol driving the No. 5 Chevy, while Martin powered the Hendrick Motorsports machine to his most recent pole there in August 2009. KASEY KAHNE, DRIVER, NO. 5 GREAT CLIPS CHEVROLET SS (ON HOW THE NEW GEN-6 CAR WILL HANDLE AT BRISTOL.): "It will change racing up a little bit, but that track is so unique and so different and knowing how we race there, you'll probably still have that similar race that we've had in the past. That's just one unique place when you have 43 cars on that small of a racetrack with that much banking." KENNY FRANCIS, CREW CHIEF, NO. 5 GREAT CLIPS CHEVROLET SS (ON HIS RELATIONSHIP WITH KASEY KAHNE.): "All we really know is each other. We've been together for a long time. He's the only driver I've had for a while now. Kasey and I do kind of communicate by osmosis sometimes it seems like. Between Kasey, myself and my engineer Keith Rodden, we've all been together for a number of years. We can even look at each other and tell what we're thinking or what's going on. If you listen to our radio, you don't hear a whole lot. We don't talk a whole lot. It's probably frustrating for people to try to scan us and figure out what we're doing because we don't talk much. We have a pretty good relationship, and we're all kind of quiet people by nature so we might not use a lot of words, but it has a lot of meaning."

Camp Sacramento Sued over Peanut Allergy Death
The parents of a 13-year-old girl with a peanut allergy who died at Camp Sacramento have filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the city.
"It's like accountability, it's like any lawsuit," said attorney Roger Dryer.
Dreyer is representing the parents of Natalie Giorgi, who died in July after eating a Rice Krispie treat that was made with peanut butter. She went into shock and suffocated despite injections from three "EpiPens." Dreyer says camp officials had been made aware of her allergy and are liable for what happened.
"They put a sign up, they put the notice up, 'this has nuts in it,' she doesn't eat it. She was vigilant about not eating nut products," concluded Dryer.
He says the case is the next step in creating awareness. The Giorgis have set up a foundation and testified before the legislature.

Darth Vader hired these guys to track down Han Solo because he wanted the kind of guys that weren't afraid to get their hands, claws or pinchers dirty. And here's an opportunity to get them all in one swipe. That's right, this is the Bounty Hunter Gift Set, the dark corner of the Star Wars saga, a small cross-section of scene-stealing peripheral characters. This is the same scene aboard Vader's Star Destroyer where he gave the small group of bounty hunters the specifics of the job he had in mind. All bounty hunters in attendance have their individual strengths and weaknesses, but with just the one bounty on the table, only one of them will take home the championship belt. Dengar was once mangled in a speeder accident and then later reconfigured into a genetically-augmented Imperial assassin; now a renegade, he hunts his various prey in his small vessel, the Punishing One. Bossk, a carnivorous Trandoshan, has plenty of brawn and maybe a moderate degree of brain; whatever he can't tear apart with his thick claws he prefers to vaporize with his customized cargo carrier, the Hound's Tooth. IG-88 is among the more impressive of the bounty hunters, an assassin droid gone horribly wrong; shortly after his creation IG-88 had unexpectedly become self-aware and had promptly decided to rid the universe of all troublesome organic life forms. Boba Fett, taciturn behind the scarred exterior of his Mandalorian armor, is of course the most experienced of the group, an exacting, emotionless predator who prefers the silent, sanitized environment of the Slave-1 to his present surroundings. Zuckass and 4-LOM are a package deal, one a Gand intuitive desperate for an illegall clone-lung procedure, and the other a business-minded droid eager to obtain his partner's intuitive ability.

Thanks for the query. The cause of hair fall needs to be established before proceeding for a hair fall therapy and it is easily done by a clinical examination alone most of the times. It could be male pattern baldness which is an increasing problem in today's society. The treatment typically consists of usage of oral medication (Finasteride) and topical lotion (Minoxidil in 5% strength). One needs to be patient with the treatment protocol as it takes months to see initial improvement. Minoxidil is recommended by US-FDA for indefinite usage. Certain dermatologists supplement biotin, hair serum and advice procedures like PRP therapy which may accelerate the rate of hair growth. PRP needs multiple sessions (4-6) roughly at 6 weeks intervals. PRP therapy is increasingly being accepted by dermatologists all over the world. Apart from active pharmaceutical medicines, a healthy diet and lifestyle is mandatory to achieve results.

Stephen Duncombe and Maxwell Tremblay's White Riot: Punk Rock and the Politics of Race is continuing to spark wildly overdue conversations on the role of race in music culture. One of these much needed and often awkward conversations was broadcast on the Michael Eric Dyson Show. Another, a conversation between the editors and Souciant magazine, is transcribed online.
Among the various claims Steve Duncombe and I make in our recent book White Riot: Punk Rock & the Politics of Race , one in particular seems to me to have been enlivened—or at least encouraged—by the "Occupy" actions of these past few weeks: the notion that the very abstractness or vagueness of punk's oppositional stance is one of the keys to its endurance and, occasionally, political efficacy. In other words, there is something about the immediate accessibility of punk's "Fuck Off! [and We'll Fill in the Details Later]" that makes the genre/subculture, despite its myriad shortcomings on issues of race and gender inequality, so attractive to all kinds of people.
Now, there are many more subtle and elaborate political critiques to be found within punk itself, but what makes them unique is that they come across with the kind of confrontational flair—whether Kathleen Hanna's "Suck my left one!" or Martín Sorrondeguy's "That's right motherfucker, we're that spic band!"—on whose wavelength one can get even if a more robust engagement with the specific content of the message may only come later (hopefully).
White Riot editors Stephen Duncombe and Maxwell Tremblay were recently interviewed on WNYC Souncheck, where they discussed the complicated and problematic racial politics of punk rock.
Using Black Flag's "White Minority" as an example—a song proclaiming "white pride" but sung by Puerto Rican Ron Reyes, accompanied on drums by Colombian American Roberto "Robo" Valverde, and produced by African American Glen Lockett (a.k.a. Spot)—Duncombe and Tremblay demonstrate that
The "white riot" was never white from it's conception, yet it's been remembered and thought of and articulated as white. And this creates an immense amount of frustration, of course, for punks of color.
Ducncombe and Tremblay took questions and comments from listeners with varying perceptions on punk and racial politics.
Listen to the interview in full below.
White Riot editors Stephen Duncombe and Maxwell Tremblay discussed punk, race and politics with Alexis Petridis for the Guardian Music Weekly podcast.
Going through the 'album' accompanying the book, the editors describe The Clash's 'White Riot' as
the quintessential articulation of radical whiteness ... It has all the complicated notions of the racial identity of punk rock - which is at one and the same time, a radical articulation of racial solidarity and anti-racist sentiment.
We purposely started the book with a non-punk piece, Norman Mailer's 'White Negro', because what we're trying to point out is that punk slips into a long line of bohemian cultural expressions of being able to and desiring to identify with the Other as a way of freeing oneself from white bourgeois restrictions; Patti Smith's 'Rock n Roll Nigger' is exactly within that tradition - and that haunts punk rock for 40 years.
For the full youtube playlist and commentary for White Riot - The Album, compiled by Stephen Dunmore and Maxwell Tremblay, see here.
Here's something for your ears from while you're perusing White Riot: Punk Rock and the Politics of Race: an 'album' of songs treated in the text, with commentary by yours truly. Bop along, enjoy - though not the Skrewdriver track, which is offered only in the interest of scholarly completeness - and hear how different punks have lived and negotiated racial identity.
1. The Clash: 'White Riot'
Composed after witnessing black youth fight back against police presence - at the 1976 Notting Hill Carnival - "White Riot" calls for white youth to do the same, to have a "riot of [their] own." Its message of anti-racist solidarity with people of color is still, to this day, characteristic of most white punks, but it still problematically frames punk, at its inception, as an exclusively white phenomenon.

The left wing barrister John Hendy QC is turning out to be far more than just an armchair and court-bound campaigner for international justice.
Until now Hendy was best known for spending spare moments between cases penning lengthy diatribes for The Morning Star.
However, now he has become far more active. Yesterday, the head of Old Square Chambers began his 109km sponsored cycle ride through the foothills of Table Mountain around Cape Town on behalf of the Free Representation Unit in London and South Africa's Legal Resources Centre.
Apparently, he is enjoying the fresh air and formulating his opinions on the future of socialism from the way mountain sheep interact.

Report: Liverpool 0 Rovers 0
Rovers' dreams of a Wembley appearance remain very much on after a superb display in a goalless draw at Anfield.
Their name will be in the hat for Monday night's draw and it will be there on merit as they more then held their own against Liverpool.
The first half saw Rovers have the better of the chances as Rudy Gestede and Craig Conway went close. Daniel Sturridge with the best opportunity for the Reds, easily dealt with by Simon Eastwood.
Alex Baptiste forced the save of the match from Simon Mignolet early in the second, and although the home side dominated possession in the latter stages, Rovers weren't unduly troubled in defence.
Marshalled superbly by captain Matt Kilgallon, the Rovers saw out time with ease to set up a re-match at Ewood Park next month.
Ahead of the game Rovers made seven changes for the trip to Anfield, whilst the hosts made just the two.
But barely two minutes in Liverpool defender Martin Skrtel landed heavily after his first aerial duel with Rudy Gestede, and after an eight minute delay whilst the Slovakian received treatment, he was eventually stretchered off to be replaced by Kolo Toure.
When play eventually resumed it was Gestede, back in the starting XI after being rested in midweek, who continued to cause the Liverpool backline problems. A Tom Cairney free-kick saw the forward win his header but the effort went wide.
The hosts looked to hit back with Raheem Sterling and Daniel Sturridge lively, whilst a superb last-ditch challenge from Matt Kilgallon on Adam Lallana stopped the England man from breaking through in the box.
Whilst the Reds were attacking at one end, the Rovers fans at the other were marking the 20th minute with a gusto as they applauded and chanted Jack Waker's name to mark the 20th anniversary of Rovers winning the Premier League on Merseyside. Boss Gary Bowyer applauding the supporters for their efforts.
That seemed to spur Rovers on as their forceful play saw the hosts back-pedalling time and time again. Adam Henley clipped a ball forward to Tom Cairney saw him spread the ball to Craig Conway but Toure defended well.
Rovers came back once more through Conway, his centre having to be headed behind at the near post by Glen Johnson under pressure from Gestede.
Then from a Ben Marshall long throw Gestede again had the beating of the Liverpool defence, but Simon Mignolet claimed his on his line. Moments later Marshall again found Gestede with a ball in the box, the Benin international looked to strike on the volley, but Sterling, operating as a makeshift left-back, blocked the effort.
But the best chance of the half for Rovers came on 32 minutes. Another sweeping move saw Marshall lay the ball off to Cairney, Gestede dummied the pass to allow it to run to Conway, but the Scottish international fired over the bar from just inside the box.
A minute later the hosts did have the ball in the back of the net, but it was correctly chalked off for offside as substitute Toure had strayed as he fired home from Sturridge's flick.
It wasn't until injury-time at the end of the first half that Simon Eastwood was tested in the Rovers goal.
He easily claimed a shot from Lazar Markovic that deflected off Markus Olsson, but Sturridge posed more of a threat with a vicious left-footed strike that Eastwood did well to beat away.
Fired up by an impressive first half showing, Rovers were a whisker away from taking the lead just four minutes into the second half.
After good work to win a corner on the right, Conway sent the ball into the box, Baptiste, who has three goals to his name already this season, connected well with his header, but Mignolet pulled off a great save to tip over the bar.
It was a bright start from the blue and whites but slowly the hosts started to get more of the ball in Rovers' final third.
A 66th minute free-kick typified the effort the Rovers players were putting in. Sturridge saw his kick strike the wall, the ball ran out to Emre Can who shaped to shoot but Corry Evans brilliantly threw himself in front of the ball to block.
Mario Balotelli, on as a sub for Markovic, tried an audacious effort from distance but only found the Rovers fans. He did better with a forward ball to Sturridge, the England strike slamming a first-time effort wide of goal.
Cup hero from the earlier rounds, Chris Taylor added much needed fresh legs as he replaced Ben Marshall, and to their credit Rovers always carried an attacking threat.
The tireless Gestede looked for Cairney but Johnson had to defend well, whilst Henley, Conway and Cairney were always winning runners in the final third.
Liverpool huffed and puffed in the closing stages, Balotelli shot straight into the arms of the barely worked Eastwood, whilst Phillipe Coutinho only found the side-netting from a tight angle.
6000 Rovers fans worked as hard as the 11 on the field and when just the one additional minute was shown at the end of the 90, the cheer was almost the loudest of the afternoon.
The loudest came a minute later, as Andre Marriner blew the final whistle, to mean Rovers can look forward to fully deserved replay at Ewood next month.
Mignolet, Johnson, Lovren, Coutinho, Henderson (c), Sturridge, Lallana, Can, Sterling, Skrtel (sub Toure 11 mins), Markovic (sub Balotelli 59 mins).
Subs not used : Ward (GK), Lambert, Moreno, Sakho, Williams.
Goals: None.
Booked: Can.
Eastwood, Henley, Baptiste, Kilgallon (c), Olsson, Conway, Evans, Williamson, Marshall (sub Taylor 68 mins), Cairney, Gestede.

2012 Jeep Sahara Unlimited Sound System
I've ordered a new loaded 2012 Jeep Sahara Unlimited (begining of the month) but only put in the 130n head unit (no connectivity group). My intention is to replace the unit with something like the Sony XNV660BT or maybe a pioneer\kenwood unit. The question I have is, does the 130n head unit in the jeep (has the inifinity sound system with sub) power any of the speakers directly, or does it simply feed the infinity amp which then goes to the speakers.
I am trying to figure out if I need to be concerned with the power output of the replacement deck, or (if as I suspect) it doesn't matter.
The head units in these JKs sees if an amp is present and adjusts outputs accordingly. And no, not all 130N units come with the Infinity system. It's just another option.
Bob K.
Dont go with sony. Go with poineer alpine or kenwood
I haven't seen an Alpine unit available in Canada. Saw the pioneer X930BT, but reviews say it's radio performance is lacking. Kenwood might be a way to go.
The main reason I want to replace the head-unit is to be able to play MP3's off a usb drive (as opposed to a disc). Another option would be to replace the infinity amp (if I could leave the stock speaker and wiring).
@LrrrJeep - let me know what you're thinking and where you're thinking of doing the work. I'm up in Ottawa and I'm planning on replacing the head unit at minimum (iPod connectivity is critical) and maybe more. I have a 2012 JKU with the Infinity speakers and the 130 head unit as well.
Hi LrrrJeep,
I picked my alpine HU at Futureshop in ottawa/gatineau (x303, it's a bit old now, but it was amazing at the time) so they do exist in Canada. Mine is only a usb HU but I added a BT mod to it to connect my phone and play music/gps/calls.
Some other things to think about when choosing a deck. Do you want to keep those existing steering wheel controls (volume control, input selection, etc) that you have? If so, make sure your new deck accepts a Steering wheel control interface (you'll also need a PAC harness and a pac swi-(jack) or other steering wheel adapter harness. Pretty easy to setup, just need to read the directions and solder a few wires. I bought both Pac kits from amazon.ca for 200$ ship included from a place in Concord (or somewhere around toronto)
thx @LrrrJeep - much appreciated - I'm a tad leery of messing up the audio but I've done it before (correctly). Depending on how busy things are I may go pro though.
@ clb-logan ... thanks! Right now I'm leaning towards Kenwood (with Nav) when the time comes. Altough at the same time, I've been looking at the integration of an 7" andoid tablet. So many choices where our end goal is simple... good sound, navigation, and be able to play MP3's from a usd drive.
@ darrello ... once I have my mods picked, I'll keep the this thread updated with progress and pictures!
Our Sahara is built (Haza!) and on it's way for us to pick-up next Monday.
We'll probably live with the sound in the Jeep until it warms up a bit -> for the same reason why we bought a new Jeep and did not replace the headgasket on our 1995 Grand Prix GTP.... it's currently -20 here at home, and it was -27 last night! :-)

Lipstick Eulogy
He used to kiss me with his eyes closed. I never found out why.
I could never make my mind up. Sometimes I thought it was because he was savouring the moment. He closed his eyes because he wanted it to last forever. But part of me knew it was naive. Part of me always suspected he was thinking of someone else.
He was always so distant. Always thinking. Always some place else. But he loved me, I think. In his way. He just never took the time to tell me.
And now he won't. Ever.
I loved everything about him, but I loved his smile the most. His smile was fleeting, his smile was shy. The ghost of a smile would occasionally trace his lips when we were out together, but it was when we were alone - when he was truly content with the world - that I would occasionally see it. It was the most rare, and yet the most genuine of all the smiles I've ever seen. I would treasure it's every appearance as one might treasure the sighting of a comet.
But comets are predictable. Comets always come back.
He's not coming back.
I remember I once bought the most expensive lipstick I could find. His last girlfriend had worn a lot of make up, and although it had never been my thing I thought that I'd make the effort. He used to complain that it was a pain to wash off, that it stained his collar - but he liked it really.
I would have given anything to see his smile one more time.
I plant a kiss on the corner of his mouth, still curved up at the edges in a false smile. An imprint of my lips remains where I left it, and I don't wipe it off. He wouldn't want that. A tear rolls down, but he's not there to wipe it off. He always said I cried too much.
"I love you." I whisper. And then I pull the knife out of his heart.

How Businesses Can Avoid Holiday Shipping Disasters
Unishippers Provides B2B Shipping Tips to Ensure an Efficient, Cheerful Holiday Season
SALT LAKE CITY, UT – With the winter holiday season quickly approaching, the busy shipping rush for manufacturers and retailers is well underway. And small to mid-size businesses are ramping up to ship thank-you gifts to loyal vendors and clients nationwide.
To help small to mid-size businesses nationwide avoid lost, delayed, or damaged parcels during the peak of the season, Unishippers Global Logistics, LLC, the nation's first and one of the largest small package and freight shipping resellers, has compiled the following tips to allow for a smooth, painless shipping season.
For Heavy Freight Shippers
- Properly package pallets. Many shippers try to save a few dollars by skimping on shrink-wrap. All too often, boxes fall off of poorly wrapped pallets and are damaged or lost. A good rule of thumb is to use two to three complete wraps around the pallet to ensure a secure load. If every box on your pallet is not going to be labeled individually, it's a smart idea to at least mark each box 1 of 10, 2 of 10, etc. By doing so, you can minimize the risk of any boxes being missed if they should fall off the pallet. In addition, it is recommended that you mark somewhere on the pallet how many total boxes are in the shipment.
- Reinforce packaging. Due to unpredictable weather and the influx of shipments over the holidays, packaging needs to be as secure as possible. An easy and effective way to reinforce packaging is by taping the opening and seams of the boxes with 2-inch-wide clear, brown, reinforced or paper packing tape. Do not use the following materials: cord, string, twine, duct tape, basic tape or masking tape. For fragile items, it's always a good idea to box them twice to avoid damages.
- Consider insurance. If a shipment is damaged in transit, the basic liability program may not cover the full value of the shipment. With cargo insurance, businesses are more likely to recover the full value of their shipments and the process for filing a claim is often easier. Make sure to keep all receipts and take photos of valuable items before they are shipped as proof of their condition. Inspect and take note of any visible losses as soon as the package is delivered. This way, if the goods in the package are destroyed, the business receiving the package can immediately spot if there were any damages and proceed with the proper protocol of filing a claim right away.
For UPS/Small Package Shippers
- Shipping perishable items. The best days to ship perishable items are Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays with next-day delivery. Keep in mind that a request for a Saturday delivery will result in an additional charge (and is often a waste when shipping to a business that is closed on weekends), so if you have to ship a perishable item on a Thursday or Friday, make sure it can endure extremely hot or cold temperatures for up to four days.
- Shipping alcoholic beverages. If you are planning to ship wine as a thank-you to your loyal customers this season, read the rules and regulations of the carrier you are using before you ship. For instance, when ordering wine with UPS, you need to be licensed to ship wine and must be entered into a contract with the carrier for wine transport.
- Protecting shipping labels against wet weather. It's important to prepare packaging for all weather conditions, especially over the holidays when snow and sleet are common. Protecting shipping labels is an important step to ensure shipments get to where they need to be without delay. Preferably, use the label sleeves provided by the carrier or place a strip of clear packing tape over the address area and be sure to avoid any barcodes that require scanning.
For All Shippers
- Plan ahead for the busy season and carrier closings. Over the holidays, most carriers have reduced hours or are closed altogether. The majority of shippers, like UPS and FedEx, will not deliver packages on Thanksgiving, the day after Thanksgiving (Black Friday), Christmas, New Year's Eve or New Year's day. Check their websites well in advance for open and closed dates and ship accordingly so shipments are sent early enough to get to their destinations on time.
"The holiday season is always a hectic time in general and can easily become that much more stressful for business owners who are in the dark about how to properly maneuver through the many ins and outs of shipping over the holidays," said Unishippers President, Kevin Lathrop. "It's best not to leave anything to chance at an already stressful time of year. Working with a third party logistics provider like Unishippers takes the guesswork out of the process and alleviates shipping concerns so business owners can focus on all of the other details and tasks at hand."
About Unishippers
Founded in 1987, Unishippers has grown to the largest reseller of shipping services in the nation with more than 290 franchise locations. Headquartered in Salt Lake City, UT, the Unishippers concept is simple – work with major carriers including UPS®, Saia®, Estes®, YRC Freight™ and UPS Freight® to handle the pickup, transport and delivery of customers' shipments. All the while, franchisees work to provide customers with service and support. By leveraging the combined shipping volume of all its customers, Unishippers gets deeply discounted rates from its carriers, resulting in lower shipping costs. Unishippers serves more than 50,000 small to mid-sized businesses, and has been recognized as a top freight broker by Transport Topics and a top franchise by Entrepreneur, Franchise Times and the Inc. 5000.

Recommended HID kit for my 03?
Well after weeks of searching, I thought I'd see what a forum can do for me.
I just recently acquired a 2003 Jeep Wrangler X. A few after market bells and whistles. I'm upgrading all the lights asap. I bought LED's to change the interior lighting.
Now for the head lights. I'm not the smartest car guy.
I just want a good priced conversion kit to keep my high and low beams, a bypass to keep all my internal safety lights working and also a pair of lower power HIDs for my fog lights. I know I want 6000k.
Any suggestions on what to get and where?
Thanks in advance!
Good HID Light Kit
Go to this site, xenonsupply.com. They have a few DIY video's on YouTube and the kits aren't made in china. That's what I have on my headlights and fog lights. If you do decide to buy from them, you can use this coupon "youtube11" type it in the apply coupon and get a discount. Hope this helps..
H.I.D.s on my TJ = WOW! - JeepForum.com The favored combination are DDM HI/LO and Hella e-code lenses. I have had mine for going on 3 years. I have the 55w 6k Raptors. Delivered cost is a round 150 for HIDs and lenses.
I used rampage housings from Amazon, and hids r us hid kit. Went together and works flawlessly. I have four other hid kits from the same company on the rest of my vehicles, the oldest kit going on four yrs with no problems whatsoever.
1 Attachment(s)
i got mine from ddm tuning they are 8000k high/low they were $80 after shipping i think.

Problem. Such a simple word,
for something so complicated. Everyone
has problems, some more than others, and I
am no exception. My friends
have problems, from bruises
to unwanted life. They think noone sees that they cry,
but I do.
They think noone sees that they're dieing
But I do.
I see, and try to act. I try
To do something, but only God
Knows if I'll be succesful. Its difficult,
Solving problems that aren't mine, with so many
Belonging to me piling up.
I'm ignored, mistreated, abused.
And noone seems to care. But I know,
Deep down they have their own
Unique problems, and I can't help but wonder-
What are they? What must they deal with, what
Are they experiencing?
Problem. Such a simple word,
For something so complicated. Every problem
Gets solved, sooner or later.
I always was good at maths.

The controversial move would add around 7p to a pint of beer, 15p to a bottle of wine and 25p to a bottle of whisky.
The long-awaited Breakthrough Britain study will conclude that spiralling levels of debt, drug, alcohol and gambling addiction and the breakdown of the family are creating a growing 'underclass'.
Scroll down for more...
It will recommend doubling the £400million currently spent on the treatment of drug and alcohol problems
The report by the Conservatives' social justice group will call for the cost to be met with a 'treatment tax' on wine, beer and spirits.
The study also recommends reclassifying cannabis from a Class C to a Class B drug and calls for a network of residential treatment centres, including an addiction wing in every prison.
The recommendations, from the group led by ex-leader Iain Duncan Smith, will carry great weight even though they are not binding on the party.
Although the final figures have yet to be finalised, any suggestion of raising taxes - rather than lowering them - is likely to prove highly controversial for the Conservative party.
Leader David Cameron is under massive pressure from traditionalists to push a tax-cutting agenda ahead of the next election. Earlier this year, his proposal to increase tax on flights in a bid to cut carbon emissions provoked an outcry.
The report warns, however, that alcohol has become too affordable.
It says: "The relationship between the affordability of alcohol and the level of consumption provides Government with an effective tool for controlling levels of consumption through a levying of a tax on the product."
The report also calls for heroin users to be forced to go 'cold turkey' rather than be treated with substitutes such as methadone. It also calls for a 'clean break' from the harm-reduction programmes such as exchanging needles.
The study contains 190 policy recommendations on family breakdown, personal debt, addiction, failed education and getting people to work. Included is a call for the age limit for all forms of gambling to be raised to 18. Mr Duncan Smith yesterday warned that "the fabric of society has crumbled at the margins" in recent years.
He said: "What has been left behind is an underclass, where life is characterised by dependency, addiction, debt and family breakdown. This is an underclass in which a child born into poverty today is more likely to remain in poverty than at any time since the late Sixties."
Recent research by the Institute of Alcohol Studies concluded that a 10 per cent rise in alcohol taxes would lower mortality rates by 7 per cent in men and 8 per cent in women.
However, the calls to raise tax on alcohol were last night condemned by the drinks industry, which warned that many pubs and retailers could be driven out of business.
Tony Payne, chief executive of the Federation of Licensed Victuallers Association, said: "It will do nothing because where is the cheap booze coming from - it's supermarkets where you can buy a pint for 50p. What will an extra 7p mean? Nothing.
"All you will do is drive more people to the supermarkets where the beer, wine and vodka is cheap and make more pubs close. It will do nothing to solve the problem at all but it will be another nail in the coffin for pubs."
Caroline Nodder, editor of The Publican, said the proposals would increase binge drinking by encouraging people to consume cheap supermarket alcohol unsupervised at home.
"When people are drinking at home, that's when you have got to start worrying about it," she said. "This will add to binge drinking rather than help it."Reuse content
