The first part of Step 1 of the 12 Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous states that "We admitted we were powerless over alcohol." There is a lot of talk in AA meetings about the concept of powerlessness and what it is.
Being the over-analytic attorney that I am, I often find myself trying to figure out what this whole notion of powerlessness really means — to me. I'm sure I'm guilty of over-thinking all this stuff, but it's just my nature.
I certainly bristle over the notion that I am powerless over my choice to remain sober. Does Step 1 really mean that I am powerless over my choice to be sober? I hope not.
I believe that I make a choice everyday to remain sober and not take a drink. I don't "turn it over" to anything or a Higher Power. (This is where I diverge from a lot of AA folks). I make a choice not to drink for a day. Just like when I was drinking, I made a choice to take that first drink. I make a choice to attend AA meetings. I make a choice to do a ton of reading about recovery. I make a choice to write this blog and hang out with others in the recovery community. I've made a choice, or more accurately, an informed decision (after extensive "research and development") that I simply cannot drink anymore. It's a complete evil force in my life which will doom and destroy me, and I won't go down like that.
I'm hoping Step One really means that
"It's the first stepping stone to obtaining freedom for yourself. You've admitted that there are serious issues with your life. You may have realized you have issues with your family, with work, your friends, and your career. You may have started to realize the extent of damage your addiction has caused in your life. And you know without a doubt that you've lost control. At this stage of your addiction you may not fully remember the actions you have taken in the past. But you have made the crucial first step in admitting that you have a problem. From this point you have a decision to make. Do you continue your addiction and risk losing your own life or risk other relationships that are important to you? Or do you reach out and seek treatment?" (Credit, Ocean Recovery)
Yet, I'm not relying on my own willpower alone. I have a lot of resources at my disposal: AA, medication, therapy, meditation/relaxation, exercise, cognitive-behavioral strategies, fellowship, reading, writing and the sober online community. I think I use more recovery resources that most of the people I know in the AA program.
I do believe, however, that if I take that first drink, I am powerless over what may happen next. I could be fine. Yet, most likely it will lead me down the destructive cycle of addiction as it has done in the past, leading to the downfall of my family, my career and my relationships. Why take that chance?
I guess in the end, I believe that my recovery will always start and end with me and my own choice and personal responsibility. Maybe that's non-AA thinking, but it's the honest truth.
Well, enough debating AA doctrine for one day. I have a life to live and enjoy!
What do you guys think?

Coming to TermsMature
The nurse, Jenny, came back into Christine's room just after she woke up from her nap. She was a big woman, but young and sweet looking, like the type you would see running a large, welcoming orphanage.
"Hey, hunny, I was checking to see how your pain level is holding up and to look at your stitches. We also need to take that cathater out now that you have been awake for a while. We can do it now or wait until after lunch. Which would you prefer?"
"Um, I am not very hungry. I also do not really feel like getting up, though, can we just leave it in? My head hurts really bad." Christine looked as frail as she sounded. She was still laying on her right side with her arms and legs curled up, and looked much younger than her 23 years.
"No, way, young lady! You need to go ahead and start getting up so you can get back home with your family! Now, turn over to your back, please, so that I can check your vitals and we will go ahead and get that cathater out of there. No crutches for you! I will make sure that you get out of that bed soon. When lunch comes, you need to get something in that tummy, too! It is free food and it is pretty good, too. Your blood sugar is low so eating will help that headache of yours." Nurse Jenny continued to chatter on as Christine complied but did not smile or acknowledge the cheerful tone.
As lunch arrived, so did her mother. Christine did muster up a small smile, wanting to pretend that everything was fine. The truth was that she felt so lost and confused that she could not form any rational thoughts or make sense of what was going on outside her basic medical care and needs.
"I thought I would join you for lunch! Chad told me you were resting when he left, so I made some phone calls and things to pass the time. I also went down to the little coffee shop and bought you and blueberry muffin!"
"Thanks, Mom. You did not have to stay here, though. I would have been ok." This statement seemed to deflate her mother just a bit, so she tried to change tracks a little.
"I am glad that you are here, though. I guess I was getting a little lonely. The nurse is pretty pushy- I think you would like her a lot!" She smiled at her mother and pointed to the chair next to her bed.
"So what have the doctors been telling you so far?" Alice never bothered to go with small talk. Especially with Christine- it was a get to the point type of relationship that did not need any pretenses covering it. What she did not know, however, was how much this question hurt her daughter.
"Mom, they said that someone else got hurt when I crashed. I will be fine but I do not know about this other guy. The cops have to come and talk to me. It was my fault that someone else got hurt." Chirstine also did not mind sharing what was on her mind. She was frank with her mom, but she was also holding back from the full truth in her mind. That itself was too complicated to think about, much less speak.

Grandpa's grandfather
this wiki
|Character on Hey Arnold!
|Grandpa's grandfather
|Son Grandpa's father
Daughter-in-law Grandpa's mother
|Best friends
|Voiced by
|Dan Castellaneta
He lived from 1830-1921. His father lived from 1800-1891. "That's the trouble with our society — no work ethic!" That's just how Grandpa's grandfather taught his grandson, just as Grandpa passed it down to Arnold. His name is never known.
Conflicts with Timeline
Phil's Grandfather is shown during a flashback in the episode "Snow" when Phil is around 9 to 10 years old, but Phil states in a later episode, "Grandpa's Birthday", that his grandfather died in 1921, when Phil would have been 3 years old. This error probably occurred because, on several occasions throughout the show, Phil has shown that he does not always possess the best memory.
Additionally, in the episode "Helga's Locket", Arnold points to a shish kebob stick that could be used to pry open Helga's locket. Phil says that it was last used by his grandfather on July 16, 1926. However, Phil had stated in the episode "Grandpa's Birthday" that his grandfather died in 1921. Again, this discrepency can possibly be owed to Phil's less-than-perfect memory.
Furthermore, in Hey Arnold!: The Movie, another chronological mistake is made regarding Phil's grandfather. When Phil is telling Arnold about the Tomato Incident, he elaborates that his father's father had participated in the incident. Again, this would be impossible, since the Tomato Incident allegedly took place during the American Revolution (1770s-1780s), at least 50 years before the birth of Phil's grandfather, which was in 1830 according to Phil ("Grandpa's Birthday").
Appears in
- Snow - In a flashback, telling Phil to play in the snow.
- Grandpa's Birthday - Appeared in a cameo in the family picture book.

Cotton Prices to Rise
December 19, 2005,
Washington, D.C. — As China continues to absorb much of the world's available cotton supply, making it in short supply elsewhere, cotton prices are poised to climb sharply higher this year, by as much as 24 percent, to an average level of $0.65 a pound for the cotton year, from $0.52 a year ago.
That means that between what it imports and what it grows itself — an estimated 5.8 million tons this year — China will account for more than a third, roughly 36 percent, of the world's entire supply of cotton, estimated at 25 million tons this year, said the world cotton cartel.
While prices for the entire cotton year are projected to shoot up to an average of $0.65 a pound, prices have been slow to rise so far. During the first four months of the new cotton year, prices averaged only 55 cents a pound — suggesting a rapid acceleration in price over the next six to eight months.
The world production estimate of 25 million tons is about five percent less than last season, but still the second highest on record. The estimated Mainland China production of 5.8 million tons is "about nine percent less than last season due to decreased plantings and yields," said ICAC. Production in the U.S. is estimated at about five million tons, roughly the same as last year.
Elsewhere, said the cotton growers, production in India is expected to rise about three percent to 4.25 million tons "due to increased planting," itself "a result of the significant increase in productivity last season." But production in neighboring Pakistan is forecast to fall by 11 percent, "due to decreased yields as weather conditions have been less favorable than last year."
Production in Brazil, Australia and Argentina is expected to decrease sharply, due mainly to the current relatively low price of cotton. Cotton production in the southern hemisphere "could fall to 2.2 million tons this season, 400,000 tons less than last season," the ICAC reported.

As i went to the meeting place where i usually see my clients, he gave a job. But this one was different compared to the others, he wanted me to actually kill someone. No stealing arms deals or kidnapping people. He wanted me to kill someone, not that its a problem of course. To make matters worse it was a jedi.
He was causing trouble with my client, reasons he was not willing to share, but i was going to get paid so either way, i dont care its money at the end of it. He filled me in with the details
Name: Harrison Fletcher
Race: Human
Occupation: Jedi
Location: Local cantina
This was going to be easy, my ideas of dispatching this one will be easy.
I set off to the local cantina and i looked around, looking at the picture my client provided me with, then i found a match, at the bar drunk out of his mind. I went over to him, hoping he would start a fight with me, i used force conceal ofcourse to make sure he didnt know my power, that way he wouldnt fight me just so plainly.
He looked at me, a drunken look in his eyes and he mutters "What chu' lookin' at" you could smell the alcohol in his voice, i didnt reply he just looked at me, well kind of the alcohol made him look like he was looking at the floor. "You listnin' to me?" he mutters again, the smell of alcohol made me cringe, he saw my look then went to punch me, i counter swiftly knocking him across the room. "Ill get you for that" he murmers, he drew his lightsaber in a pool of ocean blue. Drunken look in his eyes, but yet a killer look, if they were red he would look mentally insane.
He went for me, we clashed, regardless of being drunk he put up a good fight. Doing all sorts of twirls and slashes, i could barely keep up, but eventually the alcohol was on my side and he stumbled. He fell onto the floor and i stabbed him. He lay motionless, dead. I looted his body and took his lightsaber. Not much of a trohpy but it was still a lightsaber, just incase my lightsabers are lost. I also needed proof, so i cut off his head and exited the cantina to my client, upon presenting of the head, he had a smug grin. Giving me my payment and accepting the head we parted ways until next time he wanted anything.

Connecticut Children's Medical Center, Hartford, CT
PURPOSE: Endotracheal intubation and mechanical ventilation are frequently undertaken in children with status asthmaticus and impending respiratory failure. However, the use of positive pressure for pediatric status asthmaticus is thought to be associated with the development of extrapulmonary air leaks. Non-invasive positive pressure ventilation (NPPV) has been used as an alternative intermediary therapy in some children. The purpose of this study was to determine if the mode of positive pressure delivery per se affects the likelihood of development of an extrapulmonary air leak.
METHODS: We retrospectively examined data from all children older than two years admitted to the ICU with status asthmaticus between April, 1997 and April, 2006.
RESULTS: Of the 271 children admitted to the ICU with status asthmaticus, 45 (17%) received treatment with positive pressure ventilation: 11 received only NPPV, 27 were intubated and mechanically ventilated, and 7 children received both of these therapies. For the children who received both therapies, only 1 of 7 was intubated after starting NPPV, the remainder received NPPV following extubation. Relatively few children overall (n=9 or 3%) developed an extrapulmonary air leak during their hospitalization: 55% had a pneumothorax and 45% had a pneumomediastinum. Compared with those not requiring positive pressure, children receiving positive pressure were significantly more likely to develop an extrapulmonary air leak during hospitalization (13% vs. 1%; p=0.001). However, the incidence of an air leak did not significantly differ according to the mode of positive pressure delivery: 9% in those who received only NPPV, 15% in those who were intubated, and 14% in those who received both therapies (p=0.89).
CONCLUSION: The use of positive pressure is associated with an increased risk of developing an extrapulmonary air leak in this population. The use of non-invasive positive pressure ventilation does not seem to significantly reduce the risk of this complication.
CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS: Although non-invasive ventilation may represent an alternative to intubation in this population that potentially prevents intubation in some children, barotrauma still remains a significant risk.

- Radicchio has an unmistakable snappy bitterness that's a great contrast to the mild sweetness of other lettuces and baby greens. It's a lettuce with backbone. Its distinctive flavor, candy-cane color, and crinkly crispness add spirit to salad. And, though salad is its natural hangout, radicchio has enough character to stand up to grilling, sautéing, or baking.Origin

SPECIALTYStoring Rhubarb
Rhubarb should last for about 4 days in the refrigerator's crisper. Keep it tightly wrapped in plastic. If you want to store it long term, wash, cut into the desired length, and place in an airtight container. It will keep in the freezer for about 9 months.
Storing Fennel
Fennel will keep for about 5 days if you store it in a plastic bag in the refrigerator crisper. Unless using fennel within a couple of days, trim off the stems and store them separately so they don't leach moisture from the bulb.
Storing Chayote
This squash should keep for up to 4 weeks when stored in a plastic bag in your refrigerator's vegetable drawer.
Storing Tomatillo
These fruits should keep for at least 2 weeks, and up to a month, when stored in a paper bag in your refrigerator's vegetable drawer. If you plan to use them within a couple of days, they will be fine on the countertop.
Storing Okra
To store okra, wrap it in a paper towel and tuck inside a paper bag, then place in the least cool section of the refrigerator. Try to use it soon after purchase, as okra is quite perishable. It should keep for 3 or 4 days.

(from Arlington Park)
Karelian returned from an 11-month layoff to post an upset score in the $150,000 Sea o'Erin Handicap July 26 at Arlington Park.
James Graham rode the son of Bertrando to a three-quarter length victory in 1:36.37 for the mile over a turf course rated as "firm."
Graham kept the 6-year-old gelding just off the pace set by longshot Voy Por Uno Mas, who led through fractions of :23.87, :47.84 seconds and 1:11.79 before fading in the final eighth of a mile.
George Arnold II trains the winner.
The Sea o'Erin was the seventh win in 14 starts for Karelian, who picked up $87,000 for the victory for his owner, D. Richard Masson, to boost his bankroll to $285,458.
Yate's Black Cat, ninth after a half mile, rallied five wide in the stretch to get up for second for Chris Emigh, a head in front of Demarcation and E.T. Baird. A neck farther back was even-money favorite Lewis Michael, coming off a nine-month layoff.
"Even though he lost the race I'm very excited," said Lewis Michael's jockey Rene Douglas. "He kept trying to come back and he gave me 100 percent."
Voy Por Uno Mas, Pickapocket, Vanquisher, Therecomesatiger, Coragil Cat and Obi Wan Kenobi completed the order of finish.
Sent off as the fourth choice at odds of more than 7-1, Karelian paid $16.60, $8 and $5.40. Yate's Black Cat returned $6.40 and $4.60. Demarcation paid $7.20.

Involve me! Give me details! Show me that you care! Be brief; be bright; be gone!
The first time I read my Insights profile I was freaked out; it was too accurate. Who has been following me around for twenty-nine years to figure this out, and how did he or she know me better than my mother, sister, or husband? The answer is Insights Discovery which follows the theories laid out by Dr. C. Jung. To an outsider, this may seem strange, and I can attest that it actually does seem strange to outsiders: my husband gets angry every time someone (I work with) explains his or her own behavior by saying, "It's because I lead with (insert color here)." This week I will be sharing with my first quarter students their Insights profiles and helping each of them figure out what it means to each one of them individually. For that one reason, I think week six is monumental: Students in the Global Citizenship class are finally let into the "color club."
Insights gives students more than just a way to fit in and understand the culture at Globe. It helps them in the world and in their future careers. Thomas Sharp, seeking a BS in Healthcare Management said that he uses it every day. It helps him understand the strengths and weaknesses of those that he works with and encounters. By learning in the context of Global Citizenship, he believes that it helped to put the concepts of the course in perspective and to relate how interaction with others will impact his future career. "It allows us to understand our patients better. I lead with blue; I need details, and it allows me [the ability to] work with people who lead with different colors by asking the right questions and to get what I need to do my job better."
So, first quarter students get ready for a class that will change your perspective of yourself and how you communicate with other people. Get excited to learn how to make yourself a better communicator and how to better understand why someone is talking to you in the way he or she does.

The critically acclaimed and New York Times best-selling master of suspense delivers her first stand-alone novel, a thrilling tale of crime and struggle set in Atlanta in the mid-1970s.
Atlanta, 1974: It's Kate Murphy's first day on the job, and the Atlanta Police Department is seething after the murder of an officer. Before the day has barely begun, she already suspects she's not cut out to be a cop. Her male uniform is too big, she can't handle a gun, and she's rapidly learning that the APD is hardly a place that welcomes women. Worse still, in the ensuing manhunt she'll be partnered with Maggie Lawson, a cop with her own ax to grind (and a brother and uncle already on the force) - a strategy meant to isolate Kate and Maggie from the action. But the move will backfire, putting them right at the heart of it.
Cop Town is an incredibly atmospheric nail-biter from the author the Huffington Post called an "exemplary storyteller" and "one of the great talents of the 21st century".
©2014 Karin Slaughter (P)2014 Blackstone Audio, Inc.
it takes all of us
This might be a good story, but the narration is so bad I could not find out.
I am someone who enjoys audible books very much now that they exist. As a young student (real young) I can remember a teacher telling me how books can transport people to different places & open up a whole new world. This is how listening to audible books make me feel. Now if I can just stop falling asleep while listening to them at night I would be fine. Ha ha
"Pretty Decent Book"
It was believable & interesting
It was very suspenseful & kept me guessing most of the time
She did a fine job in my opinion
Not my expertise
"WOW a ONE star review already??? Impossible"
I have not listened yet but this rating a book within 5 or 6 hours of release is ridiculous. There is NO WAY the person who rated this book 1 stars actually listened to the book in full and gave it a proper rating. Hell, even the reviews that are 5-Stars that show up within 2 hours of the audiobook release is ridiculous (think Mr. Mercedes). Audible should get the act together on this. It is giving unfair bias and review to both the buyers and the authors who worked hard on the novels. That is all
"Not a book for women"
I don't think so
the women police officers were such wimps in this book. Here they are full fledged cops and they act like junior high school girls.
I was really disappointed in the passive role the women in this story played. The premise of the book started with two male cops preforming oral on each other in a public alley in full uniform. WHAT! How stupid!
Blind listener reading everything, especially mystery/thrillers and sf&f. Restricted to audio so picky where credits spent. #BooksRule
"New Kind of Slaughter"
Excellent read!!! So many things to gush about... Some classic Slaughter suspense and thrills... The historical slant really grabbed me... Looking at the integration of the good ol' boy southern police dept. was well done and truly insightful... A lot of the little things about that change were eloquently, and at times humorously, depicted... The other social issues of time were given voice, and what a fine voice it is...
"cop story"
this is anice book, but it is a bit long. build up slow but with a twist and a nice ending
"Such terrible narration, I can't stand it!"
This is the worst narrated book I have ever listened to on Audible, after listening happily to about 50 other titles. Every single sentence has the exact same inflection. I have begun talking like this and my husband threatens to divorce me. It is the worst thing ever. (I am reading these sentences to myself in the inflection of the narrator and I want to stab out my own eyes with a pencil.)
I have not at all gotten emotionally invested in any of the characters, 7 hours in. I don't even know if I will finish it. It's hard to know whether that is Slaughter's fault or 100% Early's fault -- since I have loved other Slaughter books, I blame Early.
I honestly don't know how it could be worse, unless she read it in Chinese. At least I wouldn't have wasted 7 hours of my life listening to the Chinese version, though.
How does this narrator have a job, seriously?
"It's awful"
A plot would have helped. The storyline was obvious and a characterization of actual life. It was vulgar and depressing.
I have liked some of her other books. She was on a rampage when she wrote this book to prove sexism and discrimination was present and ugly past all imagination in the Atlanta police department during the 70's.
Don't waste your money.
No one
I have enjoyed all of Karin's books, and looked forward to listening to or reading Cop Town.
I fast forwarded through most of the first half because it was so boring. Words words words saying nothing. Women complaining about men, men complaining about women. So very sad.
She did a good job with the story she had to work with.
Terry, Jimmy, the parents and all the male and female police persons. Let Maggie and Kate be stronger and role models instead of laughing stock for men.
Listen to all the other Karin Slaughers books,especially Tripteck, don't waste your time or credit on this one.
I would. I am a fan of the "Will Trent" series. But....wow, Cop Town is making me think twice.
Not in this genre, but definitely by this author.
Her performance was fine. Her voice worked well with the characters.
Where would I begin, what a loaded question.
I understand where and when this book takes place and I understand that this book is a work of fiction. With that being the case I am still offended at how the author portrays her black characters in this book. How is it that all of the black characters are on heroin,dirty,filthy,pimps,mean,angry and "less than"....
The difference between slavery and the holocaust is representation in history approaches both atrocities differently. It doesn't mean that one group of people is better, cleaner and more deserving of understanding and respect. Karin Slaughter has managed to make all of her black characters regardless of time,place or setting seem like they aren't worth the shit on a shoe. I was offended by her portrayal of characters. This was a waste of my time and credit.

Chapter 1: The Ascension of ChaosMature
A new dawn was settling on the horizon. The day had been fated to give birth to a new time in the galaxy. The people went about their lives, relishing in the golden rays gleaming their way into the great city, basking in the light that made its way into their hearts and gave them clarity. But the eyes of one had turned to light for the last time as his heart turned to darkness. And a new era began.
The beauty of the sky was suffocated by the black smoke as it rose from the flames devouring the city. The screams of men, women, and children echoed off the falling skyscrapers as their skins melted and their lively bodies turned into ash filled corpses. A demon had erupted, unleashing its bloodwave to sweep across the streets. I stood in the center of the carnage, listening to them as they begged for their lives and pleaded for their loved ones. Bodies fell by the thousands and I could feel their fear-filled auras rippling through my skin, begging for someone to save them. I saw the horror upon their faces as they questioned the very meaning of their existence. To die in such an unfulfilled manner. To have everything that was them, and everything that ever would have been themwiped from existence. To never see the light of this world again. I felt my stomach churn at the displeasure displayed before me. My hands quivered, my teeth grinded, my heart beat grew quicker, but my mind was strong where my body wasn't. I soaked up the images before me, burning them to my conscious. This feeling would be etched into my soul. The disgusting feeling of watching someone else claim the fear that belonged to me.
I met the weary eyes of the boy. Not an ounce of anger. Not a tear of sadness. They were completely void of all emotion. Only the ambition to kill. But the power consumed him. No art. No technique. Only rage. Only destruction. My heart convulsed at the beast who attempted to claim my desire. Absorbing all in his madness as his victims became shells of the beings they were. He sent his wails soaring across the sky, and the city stood in terror. But a beast is a beast. It cannot truly hold fear, for fear is absolute. It is the result of a broken will and a crushed ideal. To crush a man's spirit requires patience. A brute can only frighten, something men get over with bravery from their women and hope of a new light. But I will show them true darkness. I will show them true fear. I will hold everything they hold dear in the palm of my hand, and when despair breaks them, I will crush it. Only when they have felt my pain. Only when they know what it is like to be on the verge of losing everything, will I become slightly satisfied. There is no hope. In their wake they will see my dream, and in their dreams they will see my nightmare.
In this society, there are two main categories of people. Those who pull strings, and those who have their strings pulled. The problem with that is that these wretched beings believe that order is power. That their rules keep them protected. That by hiding behind the numbers of their military and the influence of their petty leaders will make them stronger. They believe that they struggled. That their lives were tough because their fathers scolded them, or their mothers told them they couldn't date. In my world, it was survival. Power was taken with one fist, and held with the other. It belonged to the one who was alive. They have no power. The only reason they are alive, is because they are allowed to live.
I have no memory of a father, and my mother-
I'll never forget what they did to her. I grew up in the slums of Arkna, the only city on Planet Di'Capor. Not much of a place for scenery. It was an ocean planet, known for its dark atmosphere. Rarely did light show through the constant thunderstorms but the rare water minerals was where the city made its living. Or at least where The Governor's District made its living, and I didn't see much of that. Everything else was run down and destroyed. Abandoned buildings, dark streets, and dirty alleys. We had to scavenge for our survival. The Market Districts were the only other parts of the city worth mentioning. Small stands would set up shop to sell whatever produce they could mop up from the season's crop. Crowds of people would gather to scrape the bottom of their pockets just to buy enough food to feed themselves. Crime was as just as common as drawing breath. If you wanted to survive here, you'd have to spill blood before you learned to walk. Gangs fought for influence, and anyone was eligible for an early death, whether it was for supplies or just to prove how insane you were. My father died before I was born, and my mother not long after.
Despite my dim circumstances, I honed my skills. Darkness became my consolidation. In the shadows, I made my living, and destroyed others. Killing is an art. The weapon you carry, the equipment you use, the armor you wear, the route you take, the method you use, clean vs messy. It's not just mass killing. It's planned, coordinated, quick, efficient, and most importantly chaotic. I don't do this for money or the title. This is what the world turned me into. And now I'll show them a true monster.

This storm will pass by midweek. Reid's future here has a bit more staying power, although ownership has forecasted a regime change after 14 seasons if this 3-4 Eagles team fails to make the playoffs. "At this point, we're not thinking about that," Eagles cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha said. "We're thinking about playing for the postseason. You can't say it's early in the year anymore. It's midway. We should be doing better at this point. . . . It's embarrassing." Reid also called this performance in what could have been a statement game for the Eagles "embarrassing." This was the debut of defensive coordinator Todd Bowles, who took over after Juan Castillo -- who had been with the Eagles for 18 years in various capacities -- was fired before the bye week. W...

2008 Ford Mustang Coupe V6 Premium 2dr Coupe (4.0L 6cyl 5M)
well it's been one year 26 thousand miles.Did road trip in January from R.I. to Punta Gord Fla, all together 4000 miles. average speed 75-85,Okay don't report me!! got a solid 25 miles per gallon. Did have both traction control sensors go. Add K&N cold air intake/Pypes duel exhaust and power flash SCT tuner basic 87 octane. It's my daily ride didn't want to screw with it to much.Also many brush aluminum interior and on pieces.With resent engine upgrades highway millage has increased to 28mpg at 65mph. I been very happy with her so far.. will up date next year. Have fun their a great car's for the money..
look's, handling,power.
As a former owner, some25 years ago of a v6 mustangII holly crap. It's been 25 years of boring dependable toyota trucks. 6 be be exact. I finaly had to try one. Took my 20yr old son with me for a test drive. been loving it ever since. needles to say it's one car he won't be driving. It's a 2008 left over 4.0 premium with pony package.I'm allready having factory cold air induction installed as we speak and will probably go for dual exust. hav'nt had this much fun in a while. Hope it last a lot longer than my75 did.
handling, love hitting off ramps.
gas mileage, what the hell if I was so worried about that I would have bought acarolla
I purchased my 2008 Mustang V6 with Pony Package at the beginning of 2009 and I love it! You can't beat the beautiful styling for the dollar. Pony package adds a performance look with fog lamps and Bullitt wheels. GT handling package really makes cornering a BLAST! Mine also has the optional Shaker 500 audio system, which I HIGHLY recommend if you are a music fan. Fuel economy is OK, I would have expected better from a V6 but it's not all that bad. The enthusiast in me can't help but want just a little more when I press the gas pedal, but this car has PLENTY of pep for most people, and it sounds really cool when accelerating. If you want power I suggest paying the extra $ for a GT.
Pony Package Shaker 500 audio Overall design
Fuel economy
As far as comfortably priced and comfortably equip sports/muscle cars go this is the best I have ever driven. With leather and an appearance package tacked on to this little V6 you don't need much more. With 210 horsepower (I'd argue there was more) this V6 will kick any little 4 banger out there to the curb while not quite being dangerously powerful. If your looking for power and style with a reliable name and company look no further.
Responsive acceleration in any gear, air vent design (found myself playing with them at stop lights), and customizable gauge color.
A reluctance to turn at increasing speeds with chattering and chirping tires, cold weather causes the car some problems in shifting out of low gears, and police seem to follow you regardless of how you are driving. (I personally had one pull me over for nothing, just told me he liked my car.)
I've been wanting a Mustang for as long I can remember. I always wanted an older classic one, but they have become too expensive. I finally bought one this year and I love it. She rarely gets out since I drive my company truck most often. But when I do take her out on Sundays I'm amazed how nice she drives and how sporty she looks. I wouldn't change my Stang for anything.

Petersen/ White Lightning's Bergmeister and Long Named to All-American Team
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., November 10, 2005 -- The American Auto Racing Writers and Broadcasters Association (AARWBA) announced today that Petersen Motorsports/ White Lightning Racing co-drivers Jorg Bergmeister (Langenfeld, Germany) and Patrick Long (Las Vegas, Nev.) have been named to the First Team of the prestigious 2005 All-American Auto Racing Team in the "At Large" category. Bergmeister and Long each earned their first American Le Mans Series (ALMS) GT2 class Driver Championship this season after a dominating performance that saw them win 50% of all the ALMS races. Their No. 31 Westward Ho Casino/ MMPIE/ PAWS/ Michelin Porsche 911 GT3 RSR took them to podium finishes in nine of the ten events including five victories, three second-places and one third. They had two pole positions (Sebring and Lime Rock) and never failed to finish in the top-10. Petersen/ White Lightning earned their first ALMS GT2 Team Championship and nine of ten IMSA Cups-- awarded to the highest finishing privately-entered car in each class-- gave them the season-long IMSA Cup for the production-based Grand Touring (GT) 2 class.
"It's a big honor for me," spoke an obviously humbled Bergmeister. "It is the first award that I have won like this and is coming at the end of a very good year for me. While Patrick and I will be honored in name, it is the team that should receive so much of the credit. They gave us the car every weekend to win races and win the championship. I am really, really pleased that other people recognized our season. I am very thankful for this honor and want to say 'thank you' to AARWBA, the Petersen/ White Lightning team and Mike [Petersen] and Dale [White]."
AARWBA is made-up of the top motorsports media members in the country from the disciplines of print (newspapers and magazines), internet, television and radio broadcasters as well as public relations representatives. As the single most knowledgeable group on the subject of motorsports, AARWBA has created the annual All-American Auto Racing Team for 35 years. Each year drivers are nominated and voted upon by its members for seven categories of American auto racing (Open Wheel, Stock Car, Road Racing, Drag Racing, Short Track, Touring Series and At Large). The votes are tallied with the highest votes given "First Team" status. There is also a "Second Team" and an "Honorable Mention Team" to drivers nominated but not at the top of the seven categories. Two drivers, or driving pairs such as Bergmeister and Long, are elected to the All- American Auto Racing Team from each of category. The "At Large" category, for which both Bergmeister and Long have jointly earned a spot, covers a wide range of classes in motorsports. As the largest of the seven categories, the honor is doubly impressive for the two. The AARWBA team is the only one of its kind and, due to the make-up of the panelists, is the equivalent to similar teams drafted in other major sports. As the only representatives from the ALMS on the "First Team", Bergmeister and Long will receive their "Horsepower Award" recognizing their place on the '05 All-American Auto Racing Team at the AARWBA Banquet in Indianapolis on December 3. They are also eligible for the Jerry Titus Award-- awarded to the driver who receives the highest number of votes overall. Similar to the Heisman Trophy in stature; the Jerry Titus Award will also be announced at the AARWBA Banquet.
"To be announced to the AARWBA All-American Auto Racing Team really is a dream come true for me," commented Long. "It caps off a dream season in the ALMS with Petersen Motorsports/ White Lightning Racing. Anytime you can be listed beside the great names that are on this team, and to be the sole representatives of the ALMS with all the great drivers in the series, that is pretty special. I won the Gorsline Scholarship at the AARWBA banquet in 2001 so I have seen firsthand how impressive this all is. This is one of the greatest honors of my career and I need to thank Jorg, Mike [Petersen], Dale [White] and all the guys on the team and at Porsche for making it happen."
Highlights for the season were many and included a sweep of all the ALMS endurance events counting the first victory for both drivers and the Las Vegas-based team at the season-opening Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring, the team's and Long's first Petit Le Mans title-- it was Bergmeister's third-consecutive win at the 10 hour/ 1,000 mile race-- and the season-ending four hour Monterey Sports Car Championship at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca. The Monterey victory marked the culmination of a four-race win streak to close-out the season which started at the Generac 500 at Road America and included victories at the Grand Prix of Mosport and the Petit Le Mans. The duo also combined with the Petersen/ White Lightning team to return to defend their 2004 24 Hours of Le Mans GT, now GT2, race victory. After 24 hours of the famous Circuit de la Sarthe, Bergmeister, Long and Le Mans teammate and direct championship competitor Timo Bernhard (Germany) finished just minutes behind the winner. Since joining Petersen/ White Lightning, Bergmeister and Long have only finished off the podium in one of the 12 events including ALMS and Le Mans races.
It is the first such award for both drivers though Long was a recipient of the John Gorsline Scholarship, also awarded at the annual AARWBA Banquet, in 2001. Bergmeister became the first non-factory driver since 1999 to win the Drivers Championship while Long, a Porsche "works" driver, became the first American since '99 to win the title. The Michael Petersen (Las Vegas) owned and Dale White (Bozeman, Mont.) managed team became the first non-factory team to ever win an ALMS title in GT2 dating back to the series inaugural season in 1999.

Automated assistants are an apparatus incorporated with most message administration frameworks. Whether you are utilizing Mail Chimp, AWeber, Constant Contact, IContact or whatever other quality informing benefit, an automated assistant will be incorporated with the item suite.
What they permit you to do is convey a progression of messages to your email endorser client at interims without physically doing any work past the first setup of your email battle arrangement.
For instance, when they first subscribe to you, it is standard to send them an appreciated message that lets them know somewhat more about you or your association and potentially furnishes them with a blessing they ideally will esteem. Endowments can be made in numerous structures and it is altogether up to you with reference to what you choose to give them and incidentally, it regularly comes to pass that the individual will join to you since you have promoted the blessing in advance, they have seen it and they need it – so give great thought to what you give out as it might be what inspires them to join in any case. A couple directing standards for your blessing:
To hold your expenses down or at nil, make it something that can be electronically transferable to the individual joining.
The blessing regularly ought to be instructive or uplifting to them somehow – so they do recollect that it after some time and fortune that you were willing to part with it
It ought to be seen similar to an endowment of high esteem to them – they will treasure it progressively and you don't need them to feel offended by it – I suggest you consider every option and give them something you would esteem on the off chance that you were in their shoes.
It ought to be something that emerges – is interesting – you would prefer not to give them something that they can go anyplace on the Internet. Make them feel extraordinary.
The blessing ought to have pertinence to your business. All things considered, it is your kind of business they have communicated an enthusiasm for when they joined in any case.
So here are some blessing thoughts that I think might be helpful to somebody simply joining to your business.
An agenda of smart thoughts that they can use to profit in some style on the off chance that they put forth a concentrated effort.
An agenda of something pertinent to your business. Is it accurate to say that you are in Travel? What about an agenda of things to pack when you go on an excursion – and so forth.
Is it accurate to say that you are an online mentor? Give them a coupon for a free course.
Have you composed and distributed anything? Give them a duplicate of it or let them download a free duplicate of it electronically.
Give them an application or some product that could be helpful to them.
Give them a layout or formats of something (Could be done in Excel, or PowerPoint, and so on.)
A free specimen of something
A module or something to that affect, custom ringtones, screensaver, free music access, and so forth – you get my float.
So this gets us past the principal thing you do with your automated assistant. You can computerize every one of this so they can information exchange, get their blessing and you don't have to physically do any extra work at all with the exception of perhaps view your information exchange insights intermittently.
When they have joined, begin sending them periodical helpful data, for example, a pamphlet. Most advertisers will get something out to their endorser base about once per week or somewhere in the vicinity. The pamphlet truly shouldn't attempt to offer them anything, simply pass on some more information or bits of knowledge to them to help them amid their day. You need to send them content that they will need to see and that they will anticipate your next portion with a longing to open the following message from you when it arrives.
Pat Flynn, an all around regarded and fruitful online advertiser says he just sends them a special message about each one in seven messages. A technique like this is something worth being thankful for to remember. As you set up your automated assistant crusade, it's a smart thought to consider setting up a progression of 30 or more messages in an occasional grouping, precisely scattering your limited time messages so they don't feel immersed with weights to buy anything. You need them trusting you are involved with them – that you are not only a businessperson.
Also, when they get to the end of your automated assistant arrangement, ideally they have bought something by then. However, regardless, keep the relationship going – you can have numerous crusades incorporated with your informing stages after some time. A second arrangement of messages can begin after the first finishes up. These cost you only a touch of time to setup – and they are well justified, despite all the trouble as you never know when your prospect will purchase or who he or she will tell about you on the off chance that they like you – which helps you develop.
So utilize automated assistants in your business and give them watchful thought when setting up. You may find that after some time, they turn into the absolute entirety of the advertising side of your business wander. Good fortunes in your promoting exercises.

Take a Seat: Master Bedroom Sitting Areas

Private Perch
In a modern farmhouse-style bedroom, a contemporary version of a classic wingback chair creates a perfect reading nook. "The master bedroom was designed with intimate scale in mind. A comfortable chair beside the window, with proper reading light, provides a peaceful spot for Mom to relax when she can steal a moment," says architect Tim Cuppett.
Fireside Retreat
"We always try to fit in a comfortable reading spot in a master suite," says designer Lauren Muse. "This one is a perfect getaway. Turn on the gas fireplace, grab a book, and curl up!" The round upholstered ottoman is a great choice for a small seating area, because it can work as a footstool, tea table or additional seating.
Window Seating
Tucked in front of a bay window overlooking a swimming pool, a pair of upholstered chairs offers a comfy place to sit to watch TV or read. When selecting upholstery, designer Debbie Talianko says to "keep solid fabrics on large items and bring in texture and color with accents." And remember, "using plenty of white gives a restful feeling."
Bright Outlook
When space is at a premium, built-in cabinetry can add essential master bedroom storage. "When we remodeled this top-floor master bedroom, the existing walk-in closet in the master bedroom was absorbed into a larger master bath—creating a need for built in cabinetry and the opportunity to frame the sunsets from the window," says a spokesperson for Matarozzi Pelsinger Builders, who executed the work.
Perfect Match
In this mid-century modern-inspired bedroom, a pair of Mies Van Der Rohe chairs lends structure at the base of the bed. Explains designer Laurie Woods: "My clients were a young couple. The wife's tastes were contemporary, but soft; the husband brought these chairs into the marriage. This arrangement not only created a look that pleased them both, but it also provided usable seating at the foot of the bed. The dark wall color behind the bed echoes the rich dark color of the chairs and ties the room together."
Luxe Living
For a bedroom with a magnificent view of Lake Erie, designer Libby Palmieri used a color palette inspired by her client's collection of beach glass and driftwood. The look is soft, but "we chose fabrics that will be durable for many years," she says.
Dramatic Details
In this glamorous, contemporary master suite, dark walls create the perfect backdrop to a white chaise lounge. "We defined the seating area with a richly-textured rug and added a fur throw blanket and sequined throw pillow to create the feeling the clients were looking for," says designer Nina Magon.
On the Bench
In this fresh, youthful bedroom, an upholstered bench at the foot of the bed provides a punch of sassy color and pattern. "Starting with a neutral base color on the walls and restraining your color and pattern to accent pieces will give you a very custom and upscale look," says designer Jennifer Leonard.
Grand Statement
In an expansive master bedroom with soaring ceilings, a seating area can help make the space feel more intimate. "Be sure to add texture and interest," says designer Ashley Campbell. The rich upholstery on the sofa and side chairs reflects the luxurious treatment on the bed, where fur pillows create a bold focal point.
Morning Room
"The natural light in this bedroom gave me the inspiration to create a seating area that would be perfect for morning coffee as the owner greets the day," says designer Tobi Fairley. "Bright areas like this are great in the morning, but remember to use double-lined or blackout-lined draperies, so you can block out the light for a good night's sleep."
Quiet Moments
"I love to provide extra seating in a bedroom to allow for another place to relax and unwind from the day," says designer Tobi Fairley. "Even if you only have room for a chaise or a chair, add extra seating when you can. And be sure to include an ottoman and a soft throw."
Practical Matters
When designing a master bedroom seating area, it's important to pick the right chair or chairs. But don't forget another key consideration: the lighting. Ideally, provide layers of lighting, as in this luxurious reading nook. "In this space, adequate light for reading is provided by ambient overhead lighting in the form of a crystal chandelier, combined with a floor lamp with a silk shade stationed by a petite side table," says designer Jennifer Leonard.

Hi You seem to be under moderate to severe depression. Considering you are getting suicidal ideations the first step for you is to consult a psychiatrist ASAP. Your mood levels are so low that it is pushing you towards extremely negative thoughts. Medicines will help you stabilize your mood and also curb your excessive anger. You also need to get counseled as sharing your thoughts will help vent your negativity and frustrations and you will be able to think of solutions to prevent such a behavior.
