Where to Go?
Cass sighed, fanning herself with her hat. "We should have never let Six get his hands on that camera."
Boone looked up from his lunch only for a second. "It was your idea to visit Angelo's workshop."
"And I regret it every day." After taking another swig of her moonshine, Cass looked out toward the giant Gecko – dinosaur, it was a dinosaur. Six really liked to make it a point that everyone in the group called it a dinosaur.
Novac was a quaint little town, a small population compared to some of the other settlements Cass has come across. On her first visit to Novac, a part of her grew fretful of the few inhabitants with the Legion pushing west. Even Boone mentioned his concern when he was on guard duty, especially after the Legion took Nelson. Nevertheless, folks found a way to get by contently. Maybe it had something to do with the increased NCR patrols, or more traders coming through since those Deathclaws and Cazadores overran I-15. Whatever the reason, people weren't stressing over the Legion that intensely anymore.
Except the former NCR soldiers, and No-bark, but the latter was a nut, so he didn't really count.
"You gonna finish those eggs?" Boone asked, flipping a finger toward Cass's plate. She shook her head, and he helped himself.
The two had taken residence in the tent set up around the center of Novac. A few other settlers were having their lunch on the other side of the table. Six and Veronica were off doing god knows what with that camera by the dino. Raul ran into a scientist, Chris something, and wandered off with him. Arcade was on repair duty, fixing up some of the gang's broken gear, with ED-E. Lily was with No-bark of all people, and Rex had stayed with the only pair of NCR citizens within the group.
Cass scratched Rex's backside, the dog whimpering slightly from where he lay. He was still healing from a run-in with a fire ant, greatly worrying Six, but Arcade said the cyborg would be fine.
"Who do you think he's going to choose?"
The sniper, finished with his meal, regarded his companion. She had a faraway look on her face. "Who do you mean?"
"Six," Cass clarified, setting down her hat. "Which side do you think he's going to go for?"
It was a private matter debated regularly by the more humanoid members in the group. Six could act like a little kid at times, like a cynical mass-murderer at others. Most times, however, he was usually an honest, good-hearted thieving mercenary. A mercenary that protected his friends with a strong passion. His loyalties with the big factions fighting over Hoover Dam, however, was a bit of a mystery.
For a time, Six was a slave in Caesar's Legion. He never gave much detail of his stay. He did let it slide that he grew to respect how disciplined and dedicated the Legion was to their work, no matter how sick and wrong that work was.
The NCR ended up liberating that slave camp Six was in. You'd think he'd support the New California Republic, but, in, his words, "I don't have much against the NCR, but I don't trust their leadership. Kimball and Oliver are asses from what I've heard."
Six had his reasons for not siding with the Legion or the NCR. That left House.
No one in the group trusted House. He planned and waited hundreds of years so that he could basically, as Veronica put it, "take over the world with an army of sex-bots." Arcade has said that House could be the strong government that New Vegas and Freeside needs to enforce the peace, but he'd rather have an actual person or committee overseeing the region, not a practically faceless king. Even Lily mentioned to Six to be careful around House.
But Six keeps saying that a man that old must have a plan that's worth finishing if he's lived for so long. As if House hasn't gone senile or has a hidden agenda he isn't willing to share.
House seemed to be the likely person Six would stick to. While Six didn't convey the message that he trusted or liked House, there was a degree of respect that he couldn't hide when he spoke of him. Six still did favors for the NCR from time to time.
Arcade's suggested that they, the gang, just take over. Six has access to House, so he can find a way to get rid of House. Unite the native towns and smaller factions, like the Kings and Boomers, to form a proper civilization instead of a wasteland. Six is already on the Kings' and Boomers' good sides, but everyone took Arcade's ramblings as just that, ramblings.
It did make them think, though.
"Six won't side with the Legion," Boone firmly said in his usual grave voice. One has to wonder if he formed even a ghost of a goodhearted smile in his life. "They're slavers and rapists. Six wouldn't stay loyal with them, not after everything."
It took a week for Boone and Arcade to trust enough Six to do some undercover work and play along with the Legion. Six had to get into House's bunker somehow, and he got to personally get to know the big people in charge of the Legion, even Caesar himself.
That didn't stop him from following Vulpes out of the Fort, resisting orders to kidnap and rape a family of farmers, and hanging Vulpes' body right in the middle of a Legion slave camp with the some help from Lily.
"Even if the Caesar still wanted him," Boone continued, "Six would just go back with a Fat Man and kill everyone."
Cass nodded. "Good point."
"It's still a toss between House and the NCR. Six has done a lot of favors for the NCR, but he was never a citizen. He might stay independent, work for House."
All speculation. "Well, either way, maybe we can finally get some patrols cleaning up the raiders and critters on the main highways once this is all over." Traders and couriers are what keep a sense of wide-spread civilization running in this mess of a wasteland. "Whether its NCR or Securitrons, as long as people can roam the roads without being targeted."
Cass leaned toward the NCR a lot more than House, but Cass owed Six for helping her find out the truth behind the destroyed caravans, the Van Graffs, and the Crimson Caravan. Six proved he wasn't an insane sociopath, most of the time. If Six stuck around with House and made all of the NCR's efforts to annex the Mojave obsolete, she could live with that. Worst case, she can settle somewhere in Vegas if things are worse off back home.
Boone picked up their plates and placed them on a pile of used plates and utensils nearby. He picked up a rag and began to wipe off some of the crumbs. Cass finished her moonshine and placed her hat back on. She would have got up and helped Boone with the dishes if Rex hadn't suddenly jumped up and barked. ED-E made an appearance with his beeps and defiance against gravity. Rex ran around the Eyebot.
"Something you need, little guy?" Cass blamed Six's influence for making her nickname the bot and unwillingly form an attachment to it. She never in her life expected to care for a floating hunk of metal, especially when she had called it a such on the day Six had first joined her for a drink.
ED-E beeped and bopped and all those kinds of noises. He faced its side to Cass and moved toward her and back in the direction of the motel. It did so repeatedly before levitating away to it. Rex followed.
"What's happening?" Boone asked as he approached Cass from behind. He was wiping his hand with a rag.
"I'm guessing Six called for a meeting." Cass pointed a finger toward Raul and Arcade walking side by side through the motel's gate.
The local motel featured a single building with multiple rooms for rent and three separate bungalows. One such bungalow was one Six's many safe houses across the Mojave Wasteland, and that was where the "Courier Six's Gang of Misfits" awaited with Six in the can.
Arcade came up with the name. Six made it stick.
Something was wrong with Veronica. She usually as talkative as ever before these meetings. Now, though, the hooded young woman sat on the couch without a word. Cass was about to question her odd silence when the swirl of a flushing toilet resounded and Six exited the bathroom.
"The toilet didn't overflow, did it, Boss?" Raul asked leaning against a wall beside Boone and Lily. "My knees are stills sore from kneeling so much to get that fixed."
Six ignored the question. He turned on a lamp on the coffee table and placed something beside it. The light illuminated what seemed to be a small pass card, the one used in corporate buildings with thousands of terminals.
"And what is that?" Arcade chimed in, filching up the card. The blond raised an eyebrow. "Lucky 38 VIP Keycard," he read out off the worn piece of metal.
"I'm killing House," Six said plainly. Everyone looked to him, shocked, and Cass was happy she wasn't the only one with her jaw dropping slightly. "That card will let me get to his body. His real body."
"What?" Arcade gasped incredulously before glaring. "You know how to kill House? You've been keeping this from us? How long have you –"
"Since the Tops. Yes Man gave me everything I needed."
The good medical man obviously wanted to give Six a rather fierce third degree, but Raul interjected before he could. "Why are we going against him, Boss? What changed your mind?" No one bothered to object at the use of the word "we."
Six bit his lip, the telltale sign of nervousness for him. "House wants me to blow up the Brotherhood bunker."
Now Cass got an idea why Veronica was so quiet. Six and Veronica were pretty much best friends and had the closest relationship than anyone else in the gang, and it had been a week since Six had last met with House. While it greatly bothered her that Six had been keeping such a big secret, she had to think what must have gone on in his head.
"And you're not going to," Boone stated, never breaking his gaze to Six.
"No." Six was silent for a moment. He took in a deep breath. "I don't want to kill any of them. They don't deserve to die just because House isn't willing to let another tech-savvy army not be dead or under his control."
"You sure you want to take the fight against House?" Cass said. Six was sweating. "What happened to him being stubborn enough to have a mission worth finishing?"
"That doesn't matter." Six turned to Arcade. "You want an independent Vegas, right?" He didn't let the Follower answer. Six swiped back the keycard and shoved a compact book against Arcade's chest. "I've been taking notes in my journal. Look through, and see if you can come up with a plan for your revolution."
Arcade appeared dumbfounded. "How long have you planning?"
"A long fucking time." Six looked to Cass, and then to Boone. "I don't want the NCR taking over everything."
"So is it all for you?" Boone asked quietly, arms still folded but back straight. "You're taking Hoover Dam and the Mojave for yourself?"
"Not for myself," Six scoffed. "I'm taking the Mojave, and Hoover Dam, and giving them to the people who are actually living in the goddamn Mojave, not to a crappy government."
Boone certainly supported his Republic, but he wasn't patriotic enough to argue with Six, not after Bitter Springs. He grunted before saying, "Whatever you want. As long as I get to kill Legion and we don't go to war with the NCR, Vegas can stay independent for all I care."
Lily and Raul said something along the same lines. Arcade and Veronica were still mute, Arcade reading intently and Veronica staring off into space. Cass was eyeing Six closely, trying to spot something. She had no idea what she was really looking for.
"What about you, Cass?" Six questioned. All eyes turned to her. "We're going for an independent Vegas. Fuck House, fuck the Legion, and screw the NCR. What's say you?"
Cass and Six were both frowning. Cass was unsure, indecisive. She could tell that Six was nervous about, well, a lot of things, but most importantly, he was worried about losing Cass as a friend. Because Six was really big on friendship and loyalty. He still beats himself every day for letting Ringo, some Crimson Caravan trader Six occasionally visited, lost his life during a Legionnaire assassination attempt. They were after Six and the gang, and Ringo got caught in the crossfire.
"I'm out of the caravan business," Cass finally said, "and I'm all out of friends, except you guys. Staying with you is better than heading back to California."
Six smiled, as did Veronica and a few others. Boone was not among them, of course, but he nodded discreetly when Cass looked in his direction.
"Alright," Six snapped his fingers, holding up the keycard in his other hand. "We've got planning. I drew a map, somewhere. Let me…"
Sticking around with the gang of misfits has to be better than dying from her heart problems in an old family home that no one lives in. If Cass is going to die, she might as well have her last few moments by friends, no matter how annoying they can be.
At the end of their planning session, those who could shared a round of moonshine.

ASHE COUNTY — Bike riders of the Blue Ridge Brutal can feel assured that there are first responders to help them at all the rest stops along the way during the event on Aug. 8.
Approximately 50 trained volunteers from the Ashe County Volunteer Fire Departments (VFD's) will be stationed at each rest stop with a fire truck that is outfitted with first aid equipment. When the first responders hear of an injury, they can drive the truck to the injured biker. All day during the Brutal ride, the Ashe Rescue Squad vehicles and caregivers remain at the Ashe Civic Center and wait to be called for emergencies.
The Blue Ridge Brutal is one of the premier fundraising events in Ashe County. Started as the brain child of Maude Calhoun in 1990, the Brutal raises money to support the Ashe Civic Center. The ride brings 500 to 1000 visitors to Ashe County on the second Saturday in Aug.. Burt Prange has coordinated the presence of the VFD members for the full 26 year history of the race.
It is a testimony to the VFD Good Samaritans that the VFD's have been assisting at the Brutal since the first ride. VFD members have three levels of medical training: medical responder, emergency medical technician, and paramedic. All are state certified and every four years the volunteers must demonstrate their medical skills. In addition, they are required to have 24 hours a year of classroom training at special training meetings.
In Ashe County there are three levels of intermediate medical assistance: Ashe Medics, which is a business providing care and transport; the Ashe Rescue Squad, a medical care and transport squad, and the VFD's which provide care. Ashe Medics has three 4×4 ambulances and three other ambulances. When a citizen calls 911 for an ambulance, the first call goes to Ashe Medics, and the Ashe Rescue Squad provides back up. The Ashe Rescue Squad has three ambulances and a crash truck, which has, for example, all the tools to cut a vehicle to release a person trapped inside. Two VFD's have ambulances: Helton and Fleetwood.
VFD's work with the Sheriff's Department and the State Highway Patrol. When there is a traffic accident with a fatality, it takes the State Highway Patrol three to four hours to complete the investigation. In the meantime, it is often the VFD, which has arrived on the scene first, to direct traffic around the accident while the investigation is being completed.
What makes the members of the VFD's give up their time on the day of the Blue Ridge Brutal, the monthly meetings, training meetings, plus being on call 24/7? According to Prange, who has been a member of the VFD since 1979, he wanted to be able to help his neighbors if they had medical problems and wants to keep the Blue Ridge Brutal riders safe. Ashe County residents and the riders in the Brutal bike ride are indeed fortunate that there are so many Good Samaritans in the Volunteer Fire Departments.

2016 CPCA Forecast Report
This year, in addition to the standard 12 product categories and 12 end user industries, we asked for a more detailed breakdown of the following: absolute gauge and pressure, temperature transmitters, temperature sensors, electronic flow, electronic level, gas analytical, liquid analytical and process valves. These are broken down by individual province level.
This includes an analysis of market potential for each province/territory. Within each region, the market potential is further segmented by 7 industry categories. Overall, the Canadian process industries are positioned for growth over the forecast period. The drop in oil & gas and mining & minerals spending resulted in a 4 percentage- point drop in the PI&A annual growth rate in 2015, and depressed the annual growth rates throughout the forecast period.

Research in the TuttleLab is focused on the concept of reducing molecular search spaces. The reduction of molecular search spaces involves the use of computational methodology to inform, focus and drive the direction of molecular research. The group works in close collaboration with experimental colleagues to ensure the results from our design work are able to be directly implemented in a practical laboratory. The process of reducing molecular search spaces involves three phases: (1) rationalising and understanding existing systems; (2) isolating the governing molecular processes; and (3) predicting new systems with enhanced/desirable properties and reactivities. A variety of different methods are used in pursuit of this goal, including ab initio, DFT, semi-empirical, MM, coarse grain and hybrid QM/MM methodologies.
News From the Lab

Reports have been surfacing all day claiming that Prince Harry has asked to be 'hooked up' with Emma Watson.
The royal apparently wants to go on a date with the Harry Potter bombshell but doesn't want to do it alone, so has asked a group of friends to come along.
I'm assuming this is because he doesn't want any photos taken of them on their own, as I can't imagine the lad lacks confidence.
Woman's Day Australia claims the pair have several mutual friends and since Emma's recent break up with her rugby-playing boyfriend, Harry has seized the moment and asked friends to hook them up.
Fair play to the lad. If this turns out to be true I won't be jealous at all.

My wife forced me to start the Paleo Diet a few weeks back. I'm glad she did. I've been losing weight and feeling better. It is hard at times to stay on course, but it really has been well worth it. I was searching for Paleo recipes and came across Spaghetti Squash with Paleo Meat Sauce on AllRecipes.com. There are so many recipes on there that it was hard to choose one. But when I saw this one, I started to crave spaghetti. I used turkey instead of beef and it was delicious! This is what I did:
Paleo Diet Friendly - Spaghetti Squash with Turkey and Vegetable Sauce
Author: What Is Cooking Now?
Cuisine: Paleo Diet

Kolkata, Jan 17 (ANI): Communist Party of India (Marxist) General Secretary Prakash Karat has stuck to its demand for a Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC) probe into 2G scam but said he did not want the Budget Session of Parliament to be stalled on the issue
"We will stick to our stand on the JPC but we would also like the Budget session to be held," Karat told reporters after a two-day meeting of the CPI (M) Polit Bureau.
He said the CPI-M would be consulting other "secular" parties in order to devise a strategy for the Budget session beginning next month.
"Our party has discussed the matter; we stick to our stand that there should be a Joint Parliamentary Committee but we would like the budget session to happen, to function. Now how to achieve these two things is something, which is not in our hands alone. So we have decided in this meeting to talk to all the other secular opposition parties whom we have been cooperating with in parliament and to decide to a common approach," he added.
Referring to Union Telecom Minister Kapil Sibal's statement that the CAG report on the spectrum scam was faulty and that there had been no loss of revenue for the government, Karat said it indicated that the UPA government wanted to "cover up" the whole affair.
"Why no JPC? the Politburo feels that there is a need fora JPC enquiry into corruption of such magnitude," he said.
Lashing out at the government for petrol price hike and its inability to control rising food prices, Karat said: ""Within a month 5.50 rupees has increased per litre, and the government still talks about trying to curb price rise. So the deregulation of Petrol pricing is actually contributing to the inflation rate. We have decided that we will immediately discuss with the other parties and plan a countrywide agitation against price rise and the failure of the government to curb price rise."
Voicing concern on the spiraling violence in the run-up to Assembly elections in the West Bengal, Karat expressed confidence of the CPI-M led Left Front retaining power in their bastion.
"Despite all efforts to instigate violence and target the Left Front government we are confident the state will recognise that this sort of effort of political violence is being resorted to for very narrow partisan political ends," said Karat.
Karat also detested the move of the Election Commission of sending a team comprising of Chief Electoral Officer of Bihar and police officials from outside West Bengal for conducting free and fair elections in the state. (ANI)

During our stay, the first thing that stood out was the service, friendliness and the desire to please the guests and most staff went over and beyond to make us happy. There was 4 of us in what was listed as a Luxe Apartment. It had two rooms which one was a bedroom and the other was a living room. The bedroom was air conditioned which had a double bed and then they put two twin beds in the living room to accommodate the other two people and it had only a fan in it. My husband and I had to keep our bedroom door open to allow the air to circulate into the living room (now converted to bedroom). The food was good, but being from the US it did need a lot of improvement. We went to the ala carte restaurant one evening and was very disappointed. The service, again, was excellent, but what they served was the problem. It was a shank bone with some meat on it. If you want to go back to that restaurant, and this was the only one other than the buffet, you had to pay. The beach was nice and there was entertainment almost every night there which was great. They always had some snacks there during the day. You did have to get up and get your drinks and food. The location was out of the way, but the public bus had service into town. The reception of the wifi at this hotel was terrible. I could get my emails on and off, but good thing there was nothing important. Again, the thing that stood out for me was the service and friendliness of this hotel. They had a fair amount of activities and entertainment and it was very clean and well maintained. Should I return to the area, I would definitely stay here.
"Great Hotel, Resort and Spa"
We had been for 12 days. Our room was very comfortable, 2 room, living room, bathroom and air condition. The room was near of the one pool with a bar and 30 meters of the beach. The all inclusive service is awesome, coke, beer, food, snack, coffee, juice, and more. The people is amazing, each person who works there is polite, friendly and do their job with a smile on his face.
Good food, good beach. People are kind. Very good to kids because there are good monitors. Good music at the pool and beach. There's a entertainment team That are very good also. Very good food at the beach also.
"Great but a ehm..."
Nice place, kind staff. But the thing is that it is a little bit boring at night. Other than that it's great! Ok, wifi doesn't work in every room, you need to go to shared facilities to get enough signal (but it's fun anyway... you get to check your email and fb by the pool, meet some nice people...)
Credit cards accepted by the hotel: Visa - MasterCard - American Express - Diners Club
Check-in: 2:00 PM , Check-out: 12:00 PM

The Myth of Effective Democracy
Decentralising Power
The tide of history is the progressive transfer of power from the King, to Parliament. Then from a parliament that wasn't representative of the community to a parliament that is representative of the voters. Today, voters are demanding even more transfer of decision making power away from the centre. They seek greater local control of local affairs. Even so, at every opportunity, those who seek to corrupt that process play their role. None of the old style "democracies" are democratic by modern standards, though they all claim that status. The Arab Spring of 2011, indicates a wind of change, and the kick-back by the military and the ruling class of the old regimes, tells us oppressive government in favour of the rich and powerful is not about to end.
Alvin Toffler was telling us 40 years ago that as citizens we need to be much more active in making our democracy work. We have to do that ourselves. We can't rely on our politicians to act in the interest of the community.
System Complexity
It's not possible for the political process to control everything. That was a key problem in the old Soviet Union, a problem still facing many nations today. Decisions need to be made about what to control and what to leave to the natural pressures of relative scarcity or abundance. When you look at the "World Problématique" the Club of Rome tried to wrestle with, you can see how complex the whole system is. For the last hundred years financial power has dominated decision making, destroying the environment and community life, to turn a profit. That unbalanced process has to end, or continued human life on Earth is in peril.
Transparent Government
We cannot rely on politicians and the press to give us good information. Transparency over governance needs to be built into the system, so that those in power can be held accountable. For instance freedom of information acts are useful, but wherever they exist, rules also exist to keep the most important details hidden from view. The alliance between governments and business interests is often used to hide government action behind a cloak of "confidential business" matters. Such an alliance creates favours for business interests as consideration to party patrons. When governments choose to do things they don't want people to know about, they can employ a business partner to do it, and hide behind a commercial sensitivity barrier. This is unacceptable, especially unacceptable in countries that pretend to be democracies.
Who's Interest is Served?
Typically in every society, powerful vested interests control decision making. Their purpose is to ensure that government action protects those interests, as a first priority. Those with power use it to entrench their position if they can. So we need to ask these questions.
How, where and by whom are decisions made in your community?
Who gets to write the law and the rules by which decision are made?
What principles guide decisions and what gets decided?
How involved are the general population in the decisions made and the effect of those decisions?
Every government is subject to pressure to favour the interests of powerful government sponsors. Only the power of a well informed and politically active public can counter-balance that power. Sustainable development can only occur if government plays it's proper role in making economic, environmental and social factors equally important, as each decision is made.
Market Systems for Decision Making
Because of these competing pressures, governments often try to dodge the issue by turning to markets as a decision making tool. The financially powerful generally favour that process too, because the market prices for environmental goods and services, and for social connection are "missing", and human capital has little bargaining power. Governments must be active in creating "prices" for the use of natural and social capital which businesses need to internalise as part of operating cost. Proper prices recognising the real cost of activities are a powerful tool. However, markets are a complete failure if governments refuse to fulfill their function and govern in an even-handed way. Market systems can also fail because of the lack of world wide governance. Tax havens and differences between the regulations in various countries allow the evasion of national laws and regulations and taxes. This works against the interests of sustainability, and signals a need for world-wide governance of business and international trade.
Worldwide Government?
So many of the significant problems of the world require worldwide governance, but there is no such force. In fact there is widespread opposition, especially in large and already powerful countries to the idea of worldwide governance. Nation states are unwilling to submit to binding international rules which constrain their future actions. Much greater control of financial and corporate groups is needed. If corporations have the ability to avoid transparency by moving their HQ, or by operating from a tax haven, or by seeking to produce in the country with the most lax regulatory framework, then sustainability can never be achieved. It's essential to establish a global framework for international governance. That will not be possible if the world consists of a few powerful countries and many weak and impoverished countries. Fundamental changes are required to the way the world is governed. One day a democratically elected World Assembly might be possible. Sadly, today, even within nations there is a struggle between democratic forces and the forces of powerful vested interests. For the immediate future we have what we've got.

1993 Lexus ES300 Questions
Get answers to questions about your 1993 Lexus ES300 at RepairPal. Find solutions, diagnose problems and get back on the road.Refine by vehicle
my car runs great when outside temp is below 40 degrees
Why is that and how do i get it fixed? I can get into the car, lights come on but the car won't start and it ran perfectly before keys got locked in the car. Thank you so much!
the key will not turn at all no more so im gonna remove it and have a locksmith re-tumble the cylinder itself
The smell and smoke comes through the air vents and pollutes the car. It's misfiring and burns through gas very fast. Sometimes it turns off completely and I have to wait to try to turn it back on. It usually would go back to driving perfectly when I put Lucas fuel injector into the gas tank. It's 4 months later and that has stopped working. Now it smokes with the injector included. So far I've oh have the wires , sparks , rotor cap replacements. The mechanic that fixed it thought it was a faulty ECU ECM but I don't think so. Now it's at another shop undergoing diagnostic . Also there is loss of power and and it will barely drive while smoking.
up really high and will drag slowly before iy completely drops the gears
i happen afterb replacing a battery
It will not ingauge the starter I have full power just won't start
Ignition Signal
what could be the problem .
Do not know everything seems to run fine. Motor revs when turning at a stop and when first putting into reverse. Do you have any ideas where to start. Is it a vacuum leak?

I am currently on the road, driving down in the deep south to see relatives and being exposed to a capacious amount of ridiculously bad ideas Fundamentalist Christianity has to offer.

Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott Texas City, Texas City
convenient and clean hotel
The staff was very helpful. WE were not pleased to find upon our return that there is a $40 pending charge on our credit card for Fairfield Inn in Texas City. We made a prepaid non refundable reservation through Hotel.com. for this room. That charge has already cleared our charge card. Upon inquiry, we have been told that the charge represents an "incidental' charge that will supposedly be removed within the week. . We do not know if this is standard throughout the industry or just SOP for Hotel.com and/or Fairfield Inn. It will certainly make us hesitant to stay at this hotel again when we are in the area if the facility can add "incidental" charges in additional to the room cost already prepaid.

PURPOSE: Pneumothorax is the most common complication of transbronchial biopsy. Previous studies examining the safety of transbronchial biopsy with or without fluoroscopy have found no difference. The British Thoracic Society advocates the use of fluoroscopy during transbronchial biopsy. However neither the American College of Chest Physicians nor the American Thoracic Society have definitive guidelines. This study evaluates the rates of transbronchial biopsy-induced pneumothorax with and without fluoroscopy.
METHODS: All transbronchial biopsies performed at UCSF-Fresno from 2007 to 2010 by pulmonary fellows with attending supervision were reviewed. We compared the rate of transbronchial biopsy-induced pneumothorax with and without fluoroscopy. The odds ratio and confidence interval were calculated using PASW software. We performed a Chi-squared test with the Fisher's exact correction. A p-value of <0.05 was considered statistically significant.
RESULTS: 130 transbronchial biopsies were reviewed. 82 were done without fluoroscopy and 48 were done with fluoroscopy. We found an 11% (9/82) incidence of pneumothorax in cases without fluoroscopy, compared to a 2% (1/48) incidence in cases with fluoroscopy. Odds ratio, 5; 95% CI 0.7-40 (p-value 0.09).
CONCLUSIONS: Our study shows a trend for decreasing risk of transbronchial biopsy-induced pneumothorax when fluoroscopy is used.
CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS: The use of fluoroscopy may decrease the rate of transbronchial biopsy-induced pneumothorax. Our study suggests that transbronchial biopsy without fluoroscopy may not be as safe as previously thought.

Detroit Chic is excited to announce that it's hosting a photography contest for aspiring photographers here in metro Detroit area.
I love sharks. There are no ifs, ands or buts about it. So imagine my excitement when I heard about a Jaws-themed restaurant in Michigan…
There seems to be a zombie epidemic going around (not a real one, obviously, although that'd be awesome), but there's no argument that AMC's new show, The Walking Dead, is perhaps one of the most popular forms of zombie entertainment today
Don't you wish you could enjoy your favorite Christmas films on the big screen this year? Well, you can! Several theaters around the Metro-Detroit area are showing time-honored flicks this December to get us all into the Christmas spirit.
Detroit Chic Rating: ** out of *****
Saw 3D manages a bit of surprising edginess, wit, and plot. That said weak acting, the seemingly incomprehensible stupidity at times of characters, melodrama, and lack of originality drags this movie from a few stars to a couple. There's no new ground tread here, just a journey down a well-beaten path by a veteran guide. At the end of the day, for Halloween movies, you could do a lot worse than Saw 3D.
Detroit Chic Rating: ** 1/2 out of ***** — My bottom line — go see Paranormal Activity 2 with some friends. It's dumb fun, but it's still fun. And it may be a whole lot less scary than the first movie — but perhaps that's a good thing as you'll probably actually be able to sleep after seeing it, this time around.
We're quickly approaching October, and it's almost time for all things scary
The weather has been chilly and rainy as we enter the fall season, but the sun decided to stick around long enough for the last big festival of summer: The DIY Street Fair in Ferndale
For those of you who prefer a slight chill in the air as opposed to humidity, your calendar probably looks a lot like mine…a big red circle around September 22, the first day of fall. And if you love the season as much as I do, you're itching to dive right into all things autumn.
Detroit will finally receive its time in the limelight as the focus of a new prime time TV show, with a controversial focus on crime. This show is cited to be ABC's breakout title this season.

The village enjoys a green, has a shop, the Piglet Stores, a pub, The Pig's Nose and the Piglet Cafe and is a mile from the sea in the middle of unspoilt farmland with cliffs, coves and beaches waiting to be explored. The coastal path offers superb scenery, breathtaking walks and bird watching with longer walks along the National Trust Neptune Path to Start Point or Salcombe and beyond.

Atlas Elektra 923 Snowshoes - Women's - 2011 Closeout - $119.93
With a women-specific design, the Atlas Elektra 923 snowshoes provide excellent stability for exploring rolling terrain and heading off the groomed trails. Tough frames are crafted from 6061 aluminum to create a stiff yet lightweight chassis. Designed for a woman's stride, the optimized nose and tail shapes provide a balanced platform for stable footing. Free-Rotating(TM) Suspension lets the binding rotate much further forward than previous Atlas designs, freeing up the stride and reducing the amount of tail flip. The result of the design is that freedom of movement is increased, the toe crampon can bite into snow better and the foot is allowed a more natural flex. Abrasion-resistant, lightweight Nytex(TM) nylon decks stay flexible when cold and stand up to the elements for lasting use. Wrapp(TM) bindings use a single-pull, continuous webbing design that tightens with a light tug. Steel toe crampons supply surefooted traction on icy and snowy terrain; heel crampons increase traction while traversing and descending. Recommended load specification includes weight of hiker with gear. Closeout. - $119.93

Which words would you use to describe Montag and Mildred's marriage in Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury?
2 Answers | Add Yours
Mildred and Montag's marriage is cold, distant, and unloving. When Montag is heading home at the beginning of the book, he thinks,
"Without turning on the light he imagined how this room would look. His wife stretched on the bed, uncovered and cold, like a body displayed on the lid of a tomb, her eyes fixed to the ceiling by invisible threads of steel, immovable. And in her ears the little Seashells, the thimble radios tamped tight, and an electronic ocean of sound, of music and talk and music and talk coming in, coming in on the shore of her unsleeping mind" (10).
Mildred is always emotionally unavailable. Montag thinks of her body as if it were dead, as she has turned off reality and only pays attention to the screens on the wall and the sounds coming into her ears through the thimble radios clamped to her ears. She is likened to someone floating on an ocean—unreachable and drifting away from Montag. Stumbling upon Mildred's inert body, Montag realizes Mildred took too many sleeping pills and needs to have her stomach pumped. By listening to music, becoming absorbed by the characters on television screens, and taking sedatives, Mildred makes herself as unavailable as possible. Montag cannot really relate to her.
Later, as Montag develops a dangerous interest in reading, Mildred does not share his interest. She says to her friends about poems Montag is reading, "Ladies, you won't understand a word. It goes umpty-tumpty-ump" (95). Mildred thinks poetry sounds like nonsense and means nothing. She dislikes Montag's growing interest in books and thinks reading can make people "crazy" (95). The irony is that the way Mildred lives could be considered crazy, and she has no insight into the power and restorative power of literature. As Montag realizes what society has lost by burning books, he and Mildred grow increasingly and irreparably apart.
I would describe Mildred and Montag's relationship as platonic. They hardly know each other, and are not in love with each other. Mildred's focus is on the "parlor family" and does not focus on Montag. When Montag asks her if she remembers where they met, she brushes it off, and cannot give him an answer. She doesn't feel as though it is an important part of their relationship. They sleep in separate twin beds in the same room, but do not really communicate with each other. They talk to each other, but there is no deep communication as there is when Montag meets Clarisse. It is also very evident that Mildred only cares for herself when she sounds the alarm on her own husband for having books in the house and reading poetry to her and her friends.

Inhaltsangabe: A swashbuckling triumph of storytelling, Flint and Silver provides a thrilling ride back to the rich and wondrous world of Long John Silver and his fiendish nemesis Joseph Flint in this prequel to the beloved classic Treasure Island. John Silver had never killed a man. Until now, his charisma, sheer size and, when all else failed, powerful fists had been enough to dispatch his enemies. But on a smoldering deck off the coast of Madagascar, his shipmates dead or dying all around him, his cutlass has just claimed the lives of six pirates. Finding himself surrounded by their revenge-thirsty crewmates, Silver fears his promising merchant navy career is at an end. But then the pirate captain makes him an offer he can?t refuse. On the other side of the world, Joseph Flint, a naval officer wronged by his superiors, plots a bloody mutiny. Strikingly handsome, brilliant but prey to sadistic tendencies, Flint is regarded as the most dangerous bandit on the high seas. Together these gentlemen of fortune forge a deadly and unstoppable partnership, steering a course through treachery and betrayal while amassing vast treasure. But the arrival of Selena, a beautiful runaway slave with a murderous past, and Flint?s schemes to secure the pieces of gold for himself trigger a rivalry that will turn the best of friends into sworn enemies. And so the legend of Treasure Island beginsan epic battle of wits and blades that unravels the mysteries of Robert Louis Stevenson?s greatest work on the sweltering seas of the Caribbean.
Über den Autor: John Drake trained as a biochemist before realizing he wasn?t much good at science and worked as an anchorman for PharmaVision, a live-TV broadcast service produced by ICI Pharmaceuticals, before leaving to write full-time in 1999. His hobbies and interests include muzzle-loaded shooting, history and politics. Flint and Silver was inspired by the many unanswered questions left in Robert Louis Stevenson?s much-loved classic, Treasure Island.

Comments about Monroe Econo-Matic Complete Strut Assembly:
First time ordering Advance auto parts online instead of buying from local store. Was not in a hurry, so waited for shipping time. But encountered wrong pricing discount right off the bat and then when product arrived one of the four struts I ordered was either assembled wrong or took a hit in shipment. This required me to contact the store to remedy the situation by using a coil spring compressor. The store had no bench or vice that I could use to re-assemble the strut assembly and they wanted me to pay up front 49.99 to use compressor. It is 12 miles one way to the store, and now I had to travel 48 miles to complete repair and return compressor. Not what I had in mind for what I thought should be a hassle free transaction and repair.

Published on Oct 27, 2015 Editor's Pick Activision's Call of Duty and Carls Jr./Hardee's have teamed up on a special meal that gamers will likely chow down on -- the "Ultimate Care Package." Created out of agency 72andSunny's Brand Partnership incubator, the new combo is themed around the upcoming Call of Duty: Black Ops III and is inspired by a care package that actually drops within the game. 72andSunny already works as creative agency for Activision and Carl's Jr. separately. The "Ultimate Care Package" offering includes the restaurant's Tex Mex Bacon Thickburger, large fries and drink as well as a peel-and-win contest that offers prizes such as a "Take Out" personalization pack, which gives videogamers actual in-game camo for their weapons that boasts a ketchup, mustard and extra pickles pattern. 72andSunny, CKE Restaurants, Activision and COD developer Treyarch collaborated on the design. To promote the tie-up, which happens to be Call of Duty's first in-game integration with a fast food client and Carl's/Hardees' biggest promotional tie-in, there's also a blockbuster spot that seems pulled directly from the COD world. Directed by Wayne McClammy of Hungry Man, it's filled with all the sorts of high-octane thrills the videogame has come to be known for in its ads. But it also stars Carl's Jr. and Hardee's spokeshottie Charlotte McKinney, who turns out to be quite the hero -- she even performed her own stunts for the spot. The campaign also brings CKE Restaurants into Activision Blizzard's ongoing Stars for Heroes and Call of Duty Endowment programs, which support veterans and their families. All profits from Ultimate Care Package sales will go directly to CODE, which helps veterans find post-service jobs. The Ultimate Care Package is available at Carl's and Hardee's now.

Calvary Covers It All (6 of 20) by Stan Coffey
This content is part of a series.Calvary Covers It All (6 of 20)
Series: The Riches of Romans
Dr. Stan Coffey
Romans 5:7-8
Tonight if you have your Bibles, let's turn to the fifth chapter of the book of Romans, the fifth chapter of the book of Romans and I would like for you just to sort of keep it open there if you will for a few minutes because we are going to be reading several verses from the fifth chapter of Romans.
I hope that your heart has been blessed by the Riches of Romans, by these messages that God has given us from the book of Romans. I tell you, it's been a real joy thus far to preach.
Some of the best of it is yet to come as we move into the eighth chapter and ninth chapter and tenth chapter of Romans, some of the most wonderful, precious promises for God's people. I'm so looking forward to it and covet your prayers.
I want to begin tonight by reading verses seven and eight: ''FOR SCARCELY FOR A RIGHTEOUS MAN WILL ONE DIE: YET PERADVENTURE FOR A GOOD MAN SOME WOULD EVEN DARE TO DIE. BUT GOD COMMENDETH HIS LOVE TOWARD US, IN THAT, WHILE WE WERE YET SINNERS, CHRIST DIED FOR US.''
Now the apostle Paul at this point had come to the place in the Roman letter where it seems that he can contain himself no longer. He has talked about the fundamental facts of theology; he has talked about the fact that all men are sinners.
Beginning in Romans 1 he has said that the pagan world is guilty before God even though they do not have the law for the law of God is written upon their hearts and they see evidence of God as they look about them everywhere in creation.
He has come then in Romans Chapter 2 to speak to the religionists, to the Hebrews, to the Jew, and perhaps we would say to the church member of this day and say that they are also sinners before God and stand before Him with our excuse.
He came in Chapter 3 to say in conclusion that all have sinned and come short of the glory of God and in the latter part of that chapter he came to say that a man could be made right wi ...

Doug Flutie Learns Wiles of Knuckleball With Tim Wakefield in First Episode of 'The Knuckler' (Video)
Originally posted on NESN.com | Last updated 2/14/13
For those waiting to see Doug Flutie get his arm back in the game, the time has come — although they'll have to be satisfied with watching the quarterback sling a knuckleball. Flutie and four other former athletes are working with former Red Sox pitcher Tim Wakefield to see who can master Wakefield's signature pitch, the knuckleball. The player who figures it out the best and wins the competition will be invited to the Diamondbacks' spring training, with a chance to pitch in a game. The first episode of the series following the competition, The Next Knuckler, aired Wednesday night on the MLB Network. For those who missed it, though, here's a clip where Flutie and Wakefield try to get the local legend's arm working, baseball-style. Check it out below. Your browser does not support iframes.

The Detroit Pistons aren't wasting anytime in rebuilding their team, reportedly reaching a deal with former Chicago Bull Ben Gordon, according to the Detroit Free Press.
Teams cannot officially announce deals until July 8. In the first day of free agency, Gordon and unrestricted free agent Charlie Villanueva both made visits to the Pistons and nailed both their guys, according to Ken Berger of CBSSportsline.com.
Gordon apparently got a five-year deal worth $55 million with Villanueva's contract still be worked on.
What's this mean for the Cavs, if Villanueva has agreed to terms with the Pistons, it seems less likely that the Pistons would keep both Rasheed Wallace and Antonio McDyess their two power forwards.

Jewish communal institutions often claim that the diverse list of organizations that their funds support prove that they are "big-tent," non-political actors— but the proof is in actions, not words.
I recognize this response as, at best, a misunderstanding of what it means to be part of the American nonprofit complex, and, at worst, a cowardly lie.
If you asked most people why the year 1969 was important in American life, few would mention that year's federal Tax Reform Act. But Norman Sugarman's fingerprints on that document may have had as much of a lasting effect on this country's history as Neil Armstrong's feet on the moon.

translated and edited by Brett Larner
Having developed Kojokan H.S. of Ihara, Okayama into an ekiden powerhouse with two National High School Girls Ekiden Championships titles under his leadership with an all-star cast of alumni including London Olympians Hitomi Niiya (Team Univ. Ent.) and Risa Shigetomo (Team Tenmaya), head coach Yoshitoshi Morimasa has announced that he will leave the team to take over as head coach at the Toto women's corporate team in Kita-Kyushu beginning in April. On Feb. 4 members of the Okayama athletics community and local residents in Ihara held an event to honor Morimasa for his many years of accomplishment. With his successor still in training, Morimasa will remain associated with the team in an advisory capacity.
Okayama Track and Field Association director Yasuhisa Kandatsu hailed Morimasa, calling him, "The single biggest contributor to high school girls' athletics in Okayama prefecture." Morimasa became head coach at Kojokan H.S in 1999, and under his outstanding leadership the student athletes developed their abilities to the utmost, making the National High School Girls Ekiden Championships fifteen years straight starting right from Morimasa's first year. They won the national title in 2005 and 2010, and with last year's runner-up finish they completed a ten-year streak of podium finishes [top three], an unparalleled achievement. As the head coach of the Okayama prefecture team for the National Women's Ekiden Championships each January Morimasa has also been involved in training junior athletes. Director Kandatsu said, "It's very unfortunate that he is leaving us, but I'm proud that he has shown the rest of the country a mightier Okayama."
According to an involved party, a Kojokan alum set to graduate from university this spring will take over Morimasa's position as head coach, with Morimasa acting in parallel with his duties at Toto to help develop and train his successor. In 2016 Okayama will serve as the main venue for the Central Japan High School Championships. Prefectural High School Sports Association director Naoshi Kamachi commented, "He is essential to the world of Okayama high school sports. It is crucial that we retain his knowhow and preserve the competitive edge he brought us."
In the town of Ihara where Kojokan H.S. is located, voices were also raised to wish Morimasa the best in his new locale. Having traveled to the National High School Girls Ekiden Championships in support every year since Kojokan first qualified, former mayor Gen Tanimoto, 78, sent his best wishes, saying, "At the celebration party for the team's 2nd-place finish, Coach Morimasa was in tears. I wonder whether he was really ready to say goodbye. I hope he makes an impact in the corporate leagues."
Kojokan H.S. Track and Field Alumni Association director Seiji Shitaki, 61, lent his support, saying, "He has said for a long time, 'Once I'm done with high school sports I want to take a shot at becoming number one in Japan in the corporate leagues.' I hope the whole region will support Coach Morimasa and all the Kojokan staff more than ever."
