Jonathan Miller Paul Jones and Keith Higgins have shown that they are indeed the three stooges. Former disgruntled employees of the D As office. Millers website shows a photo of judge Amanda Williams administering the oath of office to Ms. Johnson. Look closely and you will notice a photoshop image in the background looking like graffiti. It says JJ JAWS BFF . What a incredibly mature image to add to your website. Keep it up knuckle head, you'll get the vote of every preteen graffiti vandall in the district.

How low are you willing to go? Jonathan your failure to grasp the truth truly amazes me. Your site shows the headline DA refuses to indite. It was the lawfully seated Grand Jury that heard over 6. Hours of testimony video evidence and demonstrative exhibits, that chose not to indite the officers. I know, I was there. We were given an indictment that we could have chosen to use. Which included felony murder, voluntary and involuntarily manslaughter and something to do with oath of a police officer. We made our decision after voting. Yes it was not a unanimous decision, but majority rules. That is the law. You should know that, or were you sick the day that they taught that in law school?

She also has a pearl necklace and we all know that will never happen.
#4 Jun 29, 2012
No you weren't. There are only two ways you were there:
1. You were on the grand jury, in which case you just violated the law by discussing GJ proceedings.
2. You work in the DA's office, in which case you violated the law, your oath of office and office policy by getting involved in a political campaign.
Why is our DA trying to run a smear campaign? This is no way for a District Attorney to act - and that goes for her staff, too.

You are one sick M F and too chichen shit to identify yourself. Keep it up K H.
#6 Jun 29, 2012
I'm not sure what I said to offend you to the point of profanity but what part of my post was out of bounds?
I simply stated that to know details of the grand jury you had to be there. Please, threats and intimidation are not necessary.

The term "pearl necklace" means she had a man titty screw her and he busted a nut thus his cum surrounds her neck like a pearl necklace.
By saying it would never happen means:
She is too prudish to allow it
She cannot find a man to do it
No man would do it to her
She is butt ugly
She is a bull dyke

J Miller and other former DA office employees must be proud of the way they are handling this campaign . What class they have. This is really disgusting! And we want this group in our DA office?
#14 Jul 31, 2012
Miller is a disgrace. he has run a disgraceful campaign full of lies. His confederates and advisers are disgraceful too. I saw his billboard. Great horseman. Looked like a clown.

Jonathan Millers true colors have come out.
#16 Jul 31, 2012
Both sides need to stop this. It's over.
Johnson camp - Quit gloating, it doesn't represent the District Attorney's office well. You won, now act like you deserve it.
Miller camp- Quit whining. You lost. Accept it and move on.
And all of you, don't forget to pick up your signs.

WASHINGTON — Lawmakers and analysts renewed calls Wednesday for the Pentagon to build significantly more next-generation bombers than currently planned, arguing that the Air Force needs a fleet of 200 advanced bombers to project power in a more dangerous world.
In study released today by the Mitchell Institute for Aerospace Studies, retired Lt. Gen. Michael Moeller made the case for the Pentagon to procure a modernized bomber force of 200 aircraft by 2045.
"America desperately needs to rebuild its bomber force, starting with the [Long Range Strike Bomber] and then moving forward," Moeller said. "100 new bombers, the analysis finds, is not enough."
The Air Force plans to buy 80-100 LRS-Bs to replace the service's aging B-1 and B-52 bombers, a number many advocates have decried as insufficient. The 100 LRS-Bs, plus the 20 existing stealth B-2 bombers, will not be enough to meet future threats, Moeller argued.
"Limiting production of the new bomber, LRS-B, to 100 airframes would severely decrease the options available to national decision-makers during times of crisis or periods of instability," Moeller wrote in the study. "A modernized bomber force of 200 aircraft will sustain America's asymmetric advantage in long-range precision strike for decades to come."
Moeller left open the question of exactly what aircraft would make up the 200-bomber force. The future fleet could be entirely made up of LRS-Bs, or could include some combination of LRS-Bs, upgraded B-2s and whatever comes after LRS-B, he said.
Retired Lt. Gen. David Deptula, former deputy chief of staff for ISR, has said the Air Force needs to build 174 LRS-Bs: Airmen need 12 combat-coded aircraft for each of 10 squadrons, plus another 30 dedicated to training and testing; on top of that, the service needs another 24 aircraft for backup and attrition reserve.
Sens Heidi Heitkamp, D-N.D., and Mike Rounds, R-S.D., as well as Rep. Randy Forbes, R-Va., and Del. Madeleine Bordallo, D-Guam, also spoke at the event.
Rounds expressed concern that the Pentagon is shortchanging its future bomber force because of budgetary challenges.
"Analysis has consistently shown the Air Force needs 150 to 200 combat ready bombers, a figure far beyond the less than 100 bombers currently available for operational missions, and far beyond the 80-100 bombers envisioned by the Defense Department for the future force," Rounds said. "Is their calculus national security or is it budget driven? I personally am convinced that it is budget driven."
Forbes stressed the need to build a new fleet of long-range, large-payload bombers in the face of increasingly hardened and mobile targets in the Pacific, as well as Russian aggression.
"In the Pacific, range is going to be a key attribute that we're going to have to look at, but also payload is going to be important because we're going to have a huge amount of aim points that we would need to hit," Forbes said. "So the question that we are all going to be asking is, how many copies of the bomber do we need? … This report makes a compelling argument that more are needed."
During a Defense Writers Group breakfast earlier on Wednesday, Gen. Lori Robinson, Pacific Air Forces commander, said the LRS-B is crucial to the Air Force's ability to project power in the Asia-Pacific.
"The theater is very big, 52 percent of the globe, and so our ability to power project through the theater would be one of the capabilities that we would want it to have," Robinson said.
She added that flying LRS-Bs in the PACOM will show the US' commitment to the theater in future decades, just as the Air Force's "continuous bomber presence" in the region does now.

|Patriots Look Poised For Another Super Bowl Run
|Bruins Trade For Drew Stafford
|Black and Gold Bruins Turn Yellow On Parade Day
|Inconsistency Will Continue For Bruins Unless A Change Is Made
Your 2011 New England Patriots kicked off their regular season in grand fashion Monday night down in the Sunshine State, showcasing an aerial attack that will go down in the record books.
38-24 was the final score, in favor of the good guys of course, but the number that we were impressed with most has to be 517. That's the yardage total that Mr. Uggs himself, Tom Brady threw for against a Dolphin defense that had to be uttering some "uggs" and other groans throughout the evening.
The game wasn't without error for New England. Needless to say, giving up 400+ yards to the likes of Chad Henne leaves a lot to be desired on the defensive side of the ball. But on offense, it's as if the Pats picked right up where they left off at the end of last year's regular season. Let's leave that ugly playoff loss last year out of the equation.
So in this article each week, we work it similar to the "Three Stars" that are announced after each NHL hockey game. I call it "PATS on the Back," because heck, it's a clever title, but also because this is where you'll turn to for the most positive Pats article of the week. I write this with rose-colored glasses on, or better yet, with my Patriots foam fingers on. Never mind asking how I type with those things, let's just skip over that point.
Here now, the Week 1 edition of "PATS on the Back," highlighting the three biggest contributors to the big divisional win in Miami.
While I'm sure I will easily be able to name Brady in every "PATS on the Back" article of the season, there is just no way I can overlook his performance on Monday night, and not give him top billing this week. That 517-yard passing mark set all sorts of records, including his own career high, a New England Patriots franchise high, a Monday Night Football high, and was the fifth highest passing yard total in NFL history.
Take that, Cam Newton and your over-hyped 422-yard debut!
The one blemish on Brady's stat line? A fluky interception on a botched screen pass that was batted around… totally forgivable. The big highlight of course was the 99-yard TD pass to Wes Welker, only the 11th time in NFL history such a pass was completed, and the first since big name star Gus Frerotte hooked up with fellow Viking, Bernard Berrian on a 99-yard score in 2008. If this is a sign of what's to come for Brady and this offense this season, opposing defenses should be shaking in their shoulder pads.
Take away that historic 99-yard catch-and-run to the end zone, and Welker would have still had an impressive seven catch, 61-yard, one touchdown stat line. His knee injury is clearly a thing of the past, judging by his elusiveness. His chemistry with his quarterback is clearly as strong as it's ever been, judging by the way he led the team in targets and receptions. And his value to this offense is clearly invaluable… if that makes any sense.
The Dolphins had to be thinking as the game went on, "Gee whiz, it'd be nice to have that Welker dude back on our team." Their loss has certainly been New England's gain. Now get this man a new contract already!
No, that's not a typo. Look, I only have three "PATS on the Back" to hand out each week, so this is my cheap way of not having to choose one tight end over the other. Thus, they shall be known as Aarob Gronknandez this week. The talented tight end twosome combined for 13 catches, 189 receiving yards, and two touchdown grabs. They were targeted 17 times by Gisele's husband, which accounted for 35 percent of his pass attempts. These two second-year studs were certainly studly in Week 1, and I wouldn't expect their contributions to drop off too much as the season wears on. Long live Aarob Gronknandez!
Honorable Mention: Nate Solder and Brian Waters did a bang-up job holding Miami's Cameron Wake and the rest of the pass rush in check, allowing just one sack all night. Most times, Brady had all the time in the world to sit in the pocket and pick apart the Dolphin D. Also a well-deserved shout-out to Deion Branch, who after a catch-less preseason, had an understated seven catch, 93-yard night against the 'Fins.

About MeBest way to contact me for more photos, etc is by PM. I would love to network, get to know more people in the industry, so contact me if you have any questions. I also have a FaceBook where you can see more of my port (which I am always looking to add variety to).
I won't be doing lingerie or swimwear, unless I have worked with you before consistently. Furthermore, I won't be shooting implied or full nude either, so don't try to convince me : ) When I shoot, although I take it seriously, I like to have fun. I work better when people around me are at ease and not uptight. I'd like to do some vintage (20s or 30s) themes, and some Egyptian themes (will need wardrobe for these). More creative poses come from a comfortable atmosphere.
All I ask is that (with regard to shots) you get them to me in a reasonable amount of time, please. I'm willing to wait 3 weeks or so before I start asking if anything went wrong with the shots/computer/etc. I am trying to build a portfolio, and it's my responsibility to let you know what I expect. Besides that, I realize you may be busy, but waiting 3 months with no word from the photographer (even if you are well known) is a little stressful.
With regard to scheduling: l will let you know within 24 (usually 48) hours if I need to reschedule.
If you want to know more themes I am interested in, just ask! If you have new ideas, I am all ready to hear them! My rates:
35/hr for regular shoot
30/hr for promotional/brand/Fit model
When my profile says paid assignments only, that is what I expect, so be mindful before contacting me. Due to time and budgetary restraints/transportation costs, I am not able to do tf at this time.
Looking forward to working with you!

This Day in History: Svetlana Savitskaya's Space Walk
30 years ago today, Svetlana Savitskaya was welding metal in space. In the temperate outer space climate of minus 455 degrees fahrenheit, Svetlana tested and repaired parts of the Salyut 7 space station in her red-striped spacesuit. In 1984, she was the second woman to be in space at all and the first to perform extra-vehicular activity. She worked for 3 hours and 35 minutes, standing on the edge of (and tethered to) the space station with her colleague Vladimir Dzhanibekov.
Savitzkaya was given two Hero of the Soviet Union awards, and has two asteroids named after her. This quote makes us like her even more:
"When watching the Earth from over there, one can see the results of human activities, not just a beautiful bluish habitable planet, but because one can see just how habitable it is, with all of its floodlit streets and avenues, and its huge cities. One can see this both at night and in the daytime.
And secondly, anyone over there, in orbit, should give, and actually gives, a thought to the fact that they are at an average altitude of 400 kilometres, aboard a space station or a spacecraft that have been manufactured by human mind and human civilization, so one can't help but feel proud of them. One realizes that this planet is their home. One may even land on water, somewhere in the world Ocean, still the planet is their home. One has a natural psychological wish to return to earth, to their home. When in orbit, one thinks of the whole of the earth, rather than of one's country, as one's home."
Imagine seeing the whole earth from that far away! See Mae Jemison's view from space:

Gilles Peterson's strength lies in his ears. Via long-running efforts as both a club and radio DJ (on the London-based KISS FM and now on BBC Radio 1), the UK-based crate digger is now renowned worldwide as a consistent unearther of quality music. Because of his solid reputation, it's kind of a big deal that Peterson's now prepared to hand the compilation duties of an entire series—released on his own label, no less—over to someone else.
The inaugural volume of Worldwide Family has been entrusted to Belgium's Lefto and France's Simbad, two DJ/producers who have previously received the blessed Brownswood label head's holy thumbs up. Just as we look to Peterson for what to listen to next, both compilers stay true to his general ethos of digging into lesser-known artists producing quality, forward-focused music. It also helps that the pair are wholly immersed in the world of international beats, acting as authoritative surveyors and selectors of sound.
Lefto exerts his own preference for soul-inflected cuts over disc one, opening with the fluid shuffle of fellow Belgian brethren UpHigh Collective before sifting through the work of current darlings like Exile, boogie-funk champion Onra and the first lady of beats, Tokimonsta. The inclusion of the unfamiliar is Lefto's greatest favor to us, offering up the likes of Dela and the Headless Hunters' vocoder breeze, the black granite of Japan's grooveman Spot, and Brassroots' triumphant transformation of Inner City's late '80s club classic "Good Life" into brassy jubilation.
In turn, London-based Simbad scans the landscape of his peers and emerges with a colder-edged, instrumentally-focused collection of tracks. Cemented by the weight of well-respected producers including Cooly G, Zed Bias and Seiji, the second disc also pulses with the sounds of new blood. Simbad introduces us to producers previously unheard, with tempos and frequencies coming from the UK, US, France, Paraguay, Croatia, Israel and Sweden. The cities these artists call home are as far flung as their sounds, but Worldwide Family Vol. 1 links the arms of global kin related via their love and search (as Peterson says) for the perfect beat.

Slim for Life
Dr. Gillian McKeith teaches the nutritious value of a holistic lifestyle.Top Rated Diets of 2017
Slim for Life is one of the latest books written by England's celebrity diet doctor, Gillian McKeith. Originally from Scotland, Dr. McKeith has achieved fame and notoriety for her long-running overseas television show, as well as her blockbuster book, You Are What You Eat.

Slim for Life speaks to a generation of dieters who want to lose weight without consuming anything unnatural or artificial.

The Slim for Life program is heavy on beans, which can be difficult to digest for many, but Dr. McKeith also endorses "sea vegetables", such as wakame and konbu, which incidentally, are known to aid digestion. This is but one example where food combining is a critical part of the program.EXERCISE
In her motivational book, Slim for Life, Dr. Gillian McKeith promotes an active lifestyle, and her book, as well as the website, provide motivation and ideas for supporting daily exercise, for not just the body, but also the mind.CONCLUSION

she is not a doctor
I have seen Dr. Gilian's show "You are What You Eat" on BBC. It is a fun and educational program about nutrition but I am not certain about her diets being completely rounded to cover all needs of your body. By looking at her, she appears to have osteoperosis and if you look at the diets she prescribes for people, there is certainly calcium missing. I would approach this one cautiously.

Inflation May Be A No Show In This RecoveryBy
Thanks to the April inflation reports, the bond market is beginning to understand that it has nothing to fear from a moderately paced recovery. If future price data continue to pound the lesson home, as appears likely, low inflation will lay the groundwork for a lasting upturn that will take upward pressure off long-term interest rates and the unemployment rate.
The latest data make the case. The credit markets reacted favorably to the modest April increases of 0.2% in both the producer price index (PPI) and the consumer price index (CPI). The rate on 30-year Treasury bonds fell to 7.85% on May 13, on the heels of a larger-than-expected jump in April payrolls and a healthy gain in April retail sales. The numbers on jobs and retail buying were the best signs yet that a modest but sustainable recovery is under way, while the price data show that inflation is under control--and likely to remain so.
The core rates of inflation, measured by both the CPI and the PPI, reveal the fundamentally subdued nature of prices (chart). Excluding the ups and downs in energy and food costs, which can distort inflation's true trend, the CPI rose 0.3% in April--up only 3.9% from a year ago. Yearly core inflation has been under 4% for four months in a row--something that hasn't happened in more than five years. Inflation for the core PPI is running at a four-year low, and no price pressures are building at the earlier stages of production.
The April CPI report looked a lot better than the one in March, when both the total CPI and core inflation rose by 0.5%. But food prices were flat last month, after a spike in March. And apparel costs fell back in April, following March's larger-than-normal gain. Housing costs also moderated in April. That's important since the cost of housing accounts for more than 40% of the overall CPI.
The arguments for continued low inflation are strong and numerous. The most important: For the past three years, the economy has been growing some two percentage points below its long-term potential of about 2.5%. That figure is the sum of the growth rates of the labor force and productivity, and it's the pace at which an economy can grow without fueling inflation. This stagnation has wrung out nearly all of the economy's latent price pressures, and it will take a long time for a mild recovery to generate any new heat under inflation.
Moreover, the wage-price spiral continues to unwind. The pace of wage growth is at a four-year low, and it isn't likely to pick up amid widespread cost-cutting and corporate restructuring. The combination of slow wage growth and the cyclical pickup in productivity that typically accompanies a recovery will restrain the growth of unit labor costs. And it's unit costs that influence prices.
Also, manufacturers still have plenty of idle capacity, so there are no production or distribution bottlenecks to provide the climate for price hikes. Indeed, price wars continue to break out. And last, but far from least, the Federal Reserve is committed to low inflation.
The bond market's expectations of inflation are one factor that has kept long-term interest rates high. In fact, the spread between long and short rates is exceptionally wide. However, the market's fears seem unjustified. More price data like April's will allow inflation expectations--and long-term rates--to adjust downward.
The good news for consumers is that inflation will stay low as jobs and incomes begin to pick up, which will provide a firm foundation for consumer spending.
Retail sales continued to cruise at a high altitude in April (chart). They jumped 0.9%, following a 1% drop in March. A late Easter robbed sales from March, but exaggerated April receipts. Still, retailers are maintaining the lofty sales levels they had reached in February, when buying soared 1.6%, after a 2.1% surge in January.
Even after those big gains, which lifted first-quarter retail sales by an 11.8% annual rate, sales began the second quarter at a 3.1% rate above their first-quarter level. This pattern suggests that consumer buying will continue to add support to economic growth this quarter--but at a more modest pace.
Better job growth will help consumer buying stay on track. The latest employment report was one of the more positive to come out of the Labor Dept. in a long time. To be sure, job growth isn't exploding, but the labor markets are finally showing more strength.
In April, nonfarm payrolls rose by 126,000 jobs--the most in 11 months. And Labor's survey of households--which asks workers, not employers, about jobs--showed a gain of 327,000 new jobs in April, following a 305,000 advance in March. Early in a recovery, the household data tend to lead the payroll numbers, so another healthy gain in May payrolls could be in the works.
More good news: 55.2% of 356 industries added workers last month (chart). Hiring was the broadest in more than two years, and it suggests that the need for labor is picking up economywide. Indeed, last month's jobless rate fell to 7.2% from 7.3% in March.
The trend in part-time work also suggests rising labor demand. The number of people who could find only part-time work fell by 227,000 last month and has dropped by 519,000 since January. This means that companies are extending work time to meet increased demand for their products. And as demand picks up further, companies will hire more employees.
That process already seems to be starting in manufacturing. The factory workweek has stayed at a long 41.1 hours since February, and in April, overtime rose to four hours a week. That's up from 3.7 hours in March, and it's the most factory overtime in three years.
With existing workers putting in so many hours, factories are finally hiring again, adding 8,000 employees in April. While that gain was small, it was the third consecutive advance. Manufacturers haven't added workers for three months in a row since the end of 1988.
The employment report also highlighted some snags that will restrain the recovery. Most important, job growth today is nowhere near its performance in the first year of past recoveries, when payroll gains averaged 190,000 jobs per month and gains of 300,000 or more in any one month were common. Seeking to protect their bottom lines, companies will remain cautious about costly additions to their payrolls.
And the pickup in hiring did not translate to any gains in nonfarm wages, which fell 1 , to an average of $10.54 per hour in April. During the past year, hourly pay is up just 2.5%--the slowest wage growth in nearly four years. While that's good reason to bet against any pickup in inflation, slow wage gains will also put the brakes on any rapid acceleration in consumer spending.
Moreover, because the nonfarm workweek fell by six minutes, to 34.4 hours, average weekly pay dropped by 0.4%, to $362.58. Skimpier paychecks suggest a weak showing for personal income in April.
Still, households are in better financial shape now than they were a year ago. Weekly earnings are up 3.7% from a year ago, more than the overall CPI. In addition, consumers have improved their balance sheets, either by refinancing debts, especially home mortgages, or by keeping their credit cards locked up.
Consumers cut their installment-credit levels by $1.6 billion in March (chart). As a result, credit outstanding as a percent of consumers' disposable income slipped to 16.6% in March--the smallest debt share in seven years. Easier monthly mortgage payments plus lower debt levels are why consumers can lead this economy into recovery even with slow job and income growth.
Of course, debt-shy consumers won't be very extravagant in this upturn. But that's good, because the restraint on spending will squash any demand-driven runup in prices. Bond traders remain a band of doubting Thomases on the prospects of low inflation in a recovery. But given a few more tame-looking price reports, even they may yet become believers.

50 years too late... thalidomide drug maker issues an 'apology' to victims
Source: naturalnews.comRemember thalidomide, developed for morning sickness and prescribed to pregnant women in the 1950s and 1960s? The aftermath of this Big Pharma fiasco left around 10,000 reported babies born with malformed limbs and missing arms or legs. Victims of thalidomide defects said that a recent apology from the German inventor of the drug is too little, too late. After repeatedly reminding this errant company of its criminal behavior at the negotiating table, British thalidomide victim Geoff Adams-Spink is not satisfied with this apology.
But Adams Spink, head of the European Dysmelia Reference Information Centre, says: "This is an important first step. The next is to compensate everyone damaged by their so-called 'totally harmless' drug." At a ceremony in the western German city of Stolberg, where the company is based, Chief executive, Harald Stock said: "In the name of Gruenenthal ... I want to take this opportunity to express our deep regret over the consequences of Contergan and our deep sympathy for the victims, their mothers and families."
50 years of "silent shock"?
The victims are blamed for the companies silence! While thousands of surviving victims of thalidomide struggle on, the company excused its deafening silence by placating the victims with these words: "We also ask for forgiveness for not reaching out to you from human to human for almost 50 years ... We ask that you see our long speechlessness as a sign of the silent shock that your fate has caused us."
To add insult to injury, the Gruenenthal apology was made with a public unveiling of a statue which portrays a child with shortened arms. "The fact that Gruenenthal, a billion-euro company, is paying 5,000 euros (for the statue) is a slap in the face of every victim," said the federal association of Contergan victims.
No time for "silent shock" for parents
Lynette Rowe, now 50, was born without arms or legs after her mother took thalidomide for a month while pregnant. Lynette won a recent settlement in July against thalidomide's Australian distributor. Lynette's mother, Wendy Rowe, said the apology was an insult. "It's the sort of apology you give when you're not really sorry." Referring to Stock's statement of 'silent shock', Wendy Rowe said: "Our family couldn't have gone into silent shock. We had to get up and face each day and every day and cope with the incredible damage that Gruenenthal drug did to Lyn and our family." The Rowe family's legal firm, Slater & Gordon, called the drug manufacturer's apology "pathetic". "It is too little, too late and riddled with further deceit."

Our patients often write to thank us for the care they received at Newport Hospital. We are pleased to share some excerpts from their letters:
"There is a feeling of hospitality and warmth when one enters the hospital, and smiles and reassurance from the reception desk greet the anxious patient. A maintenance worker stops to ask if directions are needed. The foyer is lovely and adds to the charm in such a way that one forgets the reason for coming..."
"The essence, however, is the degree of professionalism shown by the people who comprise the Newport Hospital community. Recently, I had an MPJ surgical implant. My surgical procedure was clearly not life threatening; however, the manager of surgical services made me feel that I was the only patient in the hospital. You are very fortunate to have in your employ these dedicated and valued employees..."
"Should I or my husband require hospitalization in the future, Newport Hospital will be our choice. It has heart."
"My Dad was a patient in the Vanderbilt Rehabilitation Center at Newport Hospital. I'd like to let you know how happy we were with the care he received there..."
"The admission process was easier than I expected and moved quickly and smoothly. All of the staff members, from administrative to nurses, therapists and aids were very professional while at the same time caring and sensitive to Dad's needs. Every time a staff member came into the room I knew they'd have Dad smiling and with uplifted spirits by the time they left..."
"Dad progressed so rapidly under the care he received at Vanderbilt that his stay was shorter than expected. I was very grateful for the excellent assistance and co-operation we received during his discharge and the training I was given for his home care. We are so fortunate to have Vanderbilt Rehabilitation Center in our community."
More Kudos for the Vanderbilt Rehabilitation Center
"It is my pleasure to comment on my recent stay at Newport Hospital. The facilities at Vanderbilt Rehabilitation, with help from the ICU, were superb only to be superseded by the excellent quality of care provided by the medical staff and supporting group. Kudos to the nurses and staff on all shifts."
"I would like to say that it is wonderful to have hospital doctors who are very dedicated to skill and care, and who are continuously on hand to order tests and treatments. I was impressed with how well the doctors work together with great professionalism and compassion, and I felt great confidence and comfort. Newport Hospital has become a truly great hospital for all of us; we can be proud of it."
"My husband was a patient at Newport Hospital for much of the last six months. We both feel his recovery was due to the wonderful care he received from physicians, nurses and support personnel at Newport Hospital. When his condition began to improve he had a personal cheering section from the staff. Nurses came to visit him from other floors and we know they really cared..."
"This letter is long, but so was my husband's stay. Our thanks to:
"All these people were instrumental in my husband and I surviving this ordeal. He gets stronger every day, and we owe the Newport Hospital family a great debt of gratitude."
"I just want to let you know how much I enjoyed my stay on the 6th floor in the hospital. The staff members were so nice and helpful. It was lovely to see the loving care everyone got. May God bless each one for their kindness to all of us."
"This is to thank the emergency room staff at Newport Hospital. I fell on a sidewalk in Newport on Saturday afternoon, receiving a laceration on my forehead. Unable to stop the bleeding, I went to the ER that evening. The care and attention I received was outstanding."

173-ZN-MCC Chicago Series Art Deco Single Close Ceiling Light Only - NO SHADE
173-MCC-0319 Frosted Shade Option Chicago Series Semi Flush Mount Ceiling Light
173-MCC-0319A Amber Shade Option Chicago Series Short Ceiling Lighting Fixture
The best term to describe this series is simply: "Screaming Deco", since that really is what every nuance and every square inch of design says. Covered completely with deco design and pictured with one of the most deco designed shades made in America, we just have to say…"Screaming!!". These fixtures are all substantial, with a great dark/light pewter contrast.
Pictured with both a frosted 0319G shade and an amber 0319AMG shade. Just could not resist taking a picture without the shade since the metal fixture itself is just so nice indeed.
Shades are sold separately, in case an antique shade or other 2¼" fitter shade is planned for use. Option to purchase the light as pictured, in choice of amber or frosted shade, is given in the menu above.
Height: 8 ½" with the pictured shade.
Diameter: 8"
Fitter Size: 2 ¼"
Pictured here also are several of the matching Chicago Series lights, including a single wall sconce, double sconce, double close ceiling light, and 5-light close ceiling chandelier.
The socket can handle up to 100 watt incandescent bulb, or purchase our optional LED Art Deco looking bulb 60-WW-E26, each using only 7 watts and putting out about 75 watts of incandescent equivalent light. Makes running the light all night long, perhaps as a nite lite, very economical indeed and cool to the shade as well.

Wish I knew my trees...
could you try to describe it? Or look it up in a book, I'm sure you'll find something :)
Based on the location and the long needles, it's very likely that it is Ponderosa Pine. That's the common pine with long needles in that part of the world - it isn't pinyon pine which is very common a bit lower in elevation/drier habitats than Ponderosa Pine - but that tree has much shorter needles and the species I am familiar with has only one needle per bundle.

Anyone that has been japan and played in the amusement arcades will certainly have come across pachinko.
Unlike slots in the US or Europe, pachinko has an 'old fashioned' penny slot feel to it, using ball bearings that are fired up in a pinball-style manner an then drop down to score points. There is some skill involved, unlike slots in the USA, which makes it fun.
Pachinko is a traditional Japanese slot machine. Although it is not very well known in the USA and Canada, it is still quite popular in some places around the world.

General James Conway of the Marine Corps admitted that getting our fighting men needed war equipment has "not been perfect" and noted of 100 urgent requests for equipment from February, 2006 to today only about 10% were provided. He blamed the failure on "a combination of bureaucratic inertia and vested interests in existing programs."
I don't doubt General Conway's statement since he undoubtedly places the interests of marines at the highest order of his priorities. I find puzzling his refusal to identify who is to blame other than making generalities about "bureaucratic inertia." People control bureaucracies and those people whose failures have resulted in the deaths of American marines should be identified, placed on court martial or charged with crimes if they are civilians. The greatest failure in the war in Iraq is refusal or inability to punish those responsible for our failures. Unfortunately, those responsible are top level bureaucrats, not the average marine fighting in a foxhole. Doesn't Conway owe some allegiance for those on the front lines?

Many lawyer assistance programs have expanded their scope to address stress and lack of life balance before they lead to depression, substance abuse, or other problems. But some bars have found that lawyers are often reluctant to make use of the work-life resources available to them. What if you held a work-life seminar and no one showed up? What are some ways to offer assistance in a way that's more appealing? And if attendance is sparse, but one attendee leaves with some good ideas and later calls the LAP for help, should that count as success?
If many consumers now look for lawyers via the Yellow Pages, can a consumer-focused lawyer search Web site be a boon to the public, as well as a profitable business model? And what does this mean for lawyer referral services? Two such sites debuted recently, one from within the bar association world and one from outside it. Here's a look at those sites and the thinking behind them, and at some of the discussion they've prompted.
If you bring in lots of new members each year but lose lots of current ones, then your bucket is emptying just as fast as you can fill it. Here, a veteran director of membership explains why retention is so critical-and how diligent tracking of member information and feedback can help you all year long.

Category: John baby name
Guest blogger SONIA TSURUOKA, who's been interning at nameberry this month, examines the long rise and recent fall of the name John and the advent of its upstart cousins.
Pretty much everybody knows someone named John.
Backed by its rich history and plenty of timeless appeal, this all-time favorite enjoyed its moment of baby-name stardom, gaining a measure of glitz and glamour thanks to high-profile hotties John Travolta, John Cusack, and Johnny Depp, along with celebrity parents like Michelle Pfeiffer, Bono, and Rob Lowe all named their sons John.
Yet after dropping out of the Top 25 this year for the first time in recorded baby name history, John seems destined to keep sliding.
Which leads us to ask: what, exactly, is its future? What newer, more timely forms are taking the place of the original? And what made John such a classic to begin with?

Server Monitoring in CF 9.0.1 - Multi Server monitor changes
Multi server monitor enables you to monitor multiple ColdFusion instances and at any point one can check the load on the added instance. If your remote server is running on the jetty (please refer to my previous post here) i.e. when the remote machine has monitoring server enabled then the cross-domain details are required to be specified in crossdomain.xml located under {CF_ROOT}
Jul 13, 2010
ColdFusion 9.0.1 Server monitoring enhancements
This post gives an Introduction to Server Monitoring Enhancements in CF 9 updater 1. Server Monitoring helps the user to monitor various statistics such as slow requests, load at any point of time, active requests, requests with errors etc,. In the updater version of ColdFusion, an embedded server - Jetty is added which listens to a different port: 5500. A page - Monitoring Settings is added to the administrator where in the user can check the current status of server monitor. This avoids the step of launching and checking whether monitoring, profiling and memory tracking are enabled/disabled.
Configuring and starting Server Monitor:
By default Server Monitor will run on the same port on which coldfusion is running (i.e. without Jetty). However, to improve the performance the embedded server jetty can be enabled. There are three ways of starting Server monitoring with Jetty on a different port:
- ColdFusion administrator: Sever Monitoring -> Monitoring Settings.
- Manually by configuring jetty.xml and neo-monitoring.xml
- Using Admin API.
Configure and start Server Monitor using the Administrator:
Login into the administrator with the administrator credentials and navigate to Server Monitoring -> Monitoring settings.
The monitoring settings page shows the current status of the Server Monitor; one can enable/disable the same. To enable Jetty check Enable Monitoring Server and specify the port. By default port 5500 will be used. Changes made here will be reflected in the jetty.xml file which can be found in the lib directory. Any attempt made to change the port to a port which is currently not available will result in an error.
Manually by configuring jetty.xml and neo-monitoring.xml:
Monitoring server can be started manually by setting 'ismonitoringserverenabled' in neo-monitoring.xml to true and restarting the server so that the changes are picked up. As mentioned earlier, the default port at which monitoring server would start is 5500. One can change this in jetty.xml file. One can always change the port number to any other number by referring jetty.xml connector section
Configure and start Server Monitor using Admin API:
Several methods have been added to servermonitoring.cfc, these can be used to configure server monitor. The list of methods added are as mentioned below:
- setMonitoringServerPort(port_number): This method will change the monitoring server port to the port_number passed in as an argument. As mentioned earlier 5500 port will be used as a default port. However this will not start the monitoring server.
- getMonitoringServerPort(): This method returns the current monitoring server port number.
- getMonitoringServerProtocol(): This method will return http or https based on jetty.xml configuration.
- stopMonitoringServer(): This method will stop monitoring server.
- startMonitoringServer(): This method will start monitoring server.
- isMonitoringServerRunning(): This method will check whether a separate monitoring server is running.
- configureMonitoringServer(flag,port_number): This method can be used to start/stop the monitoring server.
- flag (true/false): when set to true will start the monitoring server.
- port_number: port at which a separate monitoring server should start.
With CF 901 a page Monitoring Settings was added under Server Monitoring section. One can not only enable/disable the monitoring server and monitoring port but can also start/stop server monitoring settings: Monitoring, Profiling and Memory tracking. This will also avoid the step of launching the server monitor to check the status of the same.

Update: 3/5/13
Baby Raegan goes home!
After a miraculous recovery, Raegan was discharged from the hospital late last week. At that time she was 36 weeks, 5 days gestational - 3 weeks 2 days old. She weighed 4 lbs 5 oz.
Raegan's mom reports:
We had a rough patch last weekend. Though Raegan had a feeding tube we were still trying to feed her with a bottle working toward hopefully being able to giving her all feedings by bottle, a task she had to be able to do in order to go home. Every time we went to feed her it seemed as though she was choking and her heart rate would drop sounding the alarms in the N-ICU. Raegan hadn't had a problem eating in the past, she just was tube fed to save energy, but now she seemed to be in pain when she was eating. I sat next to her bed in tears because I felt like I was hurting her when I was trying to feed her.
After speaking it over with the doctors and nurses we determined that Raegan had reflux, she really was in pain when she ate. Premies have a hard time learning how to eat, being able to suck, swallow, and breathe all at the same time can be difficult, and when you add in reflux eating becomes far more trying. The acid in her belly comes up through her esophagus into the back of her throat and while she is trying to decide if she can swallow whats in her throat or if she needs to spit it out she forgets to breathe causing her heart rate to drop.
Within 48 short hours Raegan was a different baby, she was taking all her feedings by bottle with no problem, and we were offered to stay in a transition room at the hospital. A transition room is a room where Raegan's father and I can spend the night with her and take care of her. She still was under the care of the nurses but we had the freedom to change her and feed her whenever she needed. I was excited to finally get the chance to get up with her at night. As strange as it may sound, I finally felt like her parent and not just a visitor.
Once Raegan showed that she was going to wake up and eat on her own taking in enough volume to grow were told we could finally bring her home. After three long weeks in the hospital we were going home. I was going to be a full time mommy!

Divers Compete at Bulldog Invite
Four CLU divers take part in Bulldog Invite
REDLANDS, Calif. – Cal Lutheran diver Ryan Brem had a strong day on the board Saturday to lead the Kingsmen at the Bulldog Invite, collecting season-high scores in both the one and three-meter dives. Sheyenne Machida and Tianna Pasko competed for the Regals at the meet with teams coming from all around Southern California.
A week after taking first place in the one-meter dive at the Malibu Invitational, Brem recorded a season-best total score of 213.40. Finishing fourth in the event, the junior's best individual dive was his fourth attempt where he received a score of 7.0, 7.0, 7.5, 7.5 and 6.5 from the judges. Brem also had a season-best score in the three-meter dive where he placed eighth. The Wailuku, HI native finished with a combined score of 210.15. Cal Lutheran's leading diver had some of the top scores through the first two dives averaging a 6.5 mark from the judges.
Also competing for the Kingsmen was Joey Zeisldorf. In just his second event as a Kingsmen, Zeisldorf took eighth in the three-meter and just missed out on a top-ten finish in the one-meter diver. Zeisldorf scored a 195.20 in the three-meter dive, just 1.3 points behind the seventh place finisher. In the shorter board competition, Zeisldorf had one of the best individual dive scores of the event, getting scores 8.5, 8.0, 8.0, 8.0 and near-perfect 9.0 from the judges on his second attempt.
On the women's side, Machida was CLU's top performer, coming in 12th in the one-meter and 14th in the three-meter dive. Machida was close to finishing in the top-ten of the competition, trailing the 10th finisher by just 2.25 points after recording a total score of 201.35. Her best individual dive came on her fifth try when she received scores of 7.0, 8.0, 8.5, 7.0, and 9.0. Machida recorded a top-15 finish in the three-meter dive competition, compiling a score of 181.90.
Joining Machida on Saturday for the Regals was Pasko, who took 24th in the one-meter and 26th in the three-meter dive. Pasko had a high mark of 6.0 during several attempts in the one-meter dive and then received two marks of 6.5 in the three-meter.
The Cal Lutheran swimming and diving teams will be back in action next weekend when they take part in the Finis Invitational in Santa Cruz. The meet begins on Friday, Nov. 22 and goes through Sunday, Nov. 24.

Rather naively, I thought that a dip into the most blogged-about twenty funny viral videos of the past week might mean we escaped the barrage of videos from the Democratic National Convention. Not so, I'm afraid. But we do get off quite lightly.
First off, his royal Obamaness has been co-opted for the now expired Rick Rolling phenomenon; more campaign propaganda veiled in a cloak of internet respectability. See Obama dancing! See Obama singing Never Gonna Give you Up! Vote Obama!
Compare that to the original (we're never gonna give you up, Rick...) and then this creation, which is the bastard child of both of them.
The Olympics have proved very inspiring for the cheekier corners of the web: Michael Phelps' very sportsmanlike victory in the 100m butterfly and Usain Bolt's remarkably casual victory in the 100m sprint.
Tube Adventures is very clever - just the kind of interactive storytelling you'd think could be done on YouTube. Plenty more potential where this came from. There's the tail end of the now traditional internet wake for US comedian Bernie Mac who died earlier this month. Videos of a few classic performances here but be warned - this is really not work friendly...
Elsewhere in the chart, there are plenty of familiar viral classics: Charlie is still biting that finger, that prairie dog is still giving dramatic looks and that annoying Dad dancing video is still hanging around. Blame the bloggers who keep sticking these things on their sites, I say. As ever, your own viral gems are always welcome.
But I've saved the best for last. By far my favourite is this mashup of bible-bashers and drum'n'bass - now there's a match made in heaven!
Guardian Viral Video Chart: compiled by viralvideochart.com
1 Barack Roll Possibly the next President of the USA is transformed into a viral sensation. Sort of.
2 The Dark Knight: Joker interrogation scene spoof Diverting, but a little too long.
3 Bernie Mac Def Comedy Jam "If they could put sex in cans, people be shoplifting..."
4 Bernie Mac: My sister's kids
5 Charlie bit my finger - again! Never gets boring.
6 Evolution of Dance Bad dad dancing through the history of time.
7 Rick Roll The original and still the best.
8 Barackroll and Rickroll: Side by side Oh look - both of them, together!
9 Free Hugs Campaign People hugging strangers.
10 Messiah Remix goes off!!! Masterful juxtaposition of evangelism and drum'n'bass.
11 Tube Adventures: Aventura interactiva Very clever Spanish interactive drama.
12 Michael Phelps at the 1972 Olympic Games in Munich Venezuelan TV gets its Olympic chronology in bit of a muddle.
13 Dramatic look Before the argument kicks off again, it's a prairie dog.
14 Panda sneezes Yep, he's cute.
15 Usain Bolt celebrates early... very early The world's fastest man gets some stick for his cocky finale.
16 Font Conference What happens when graphic designers get bored at work.
17 FaceBook In Reality: Hilarious video Don't they know we're all bored of Facebook now?
18 Frozen Grand Central Musical statues at New York's famous station.

Students' FCAT Scores Investigated
While many students are getting ready for finals, a handful of North Central Florida students are thinking back to their FCAT.... because they're being investigating for cheating on the exam.
Megan Cummings of Morriston says it took three tries to pass her FCAT. Monday she found out she got a score of 350, which is a passing grade... but she also found out three other students who took the test with her got the exact same score.
And the Department of Education released a statement, which read in part: "Since having two students answer all of the questions identically, or mostly identically, is highly improbable, we suppress the scores temporarily and ask the district to conduct a local investigation..."
Cummings says she refuses to retake it... even if it means she won't graduate.
"I already passed it. And that thing is impossible to pass and I'm not going to take it again because it takes all day and I'm not going to take it again," Cummings said.
All students must pass the FCAT with a score of 300 to graduate high school.
The investigation is on-going, and Cummings says the four students, along with their parents, will have a meeting at the school Tuesday morning.

When MTV debuts its newest reality series, "Miss Seventeen," on Monday, Oct. 17, one of the contestants—described by the network as a group of "overachievers you love to hate"—will be Brianne Burrowes, a junior in the journalism program at the University of Montana. Burrowes can certainly be described as the ambitious sort: While a straight-A student at Polson High School, she started her own themed teen magazine called Unlimited (one issue tackled the topic of courage, she explains, with stories covering "everything from having the courage to follow your dreams to the courage to wear an outfit that may not be the coolest"). That's the kind of initiative that seemingly made her the perfect candidate to compete for the title of Seventeen magazine's "ultimate role model."
"I've been reading Seventeen since I was in sixth grade," says Burrowes, 19, who also spent a year as a Seventeen reader/contributor collecting information for surveys (i.e., "Why is your boyfriend not returning your calls?").
"I don't consider myself a celebrity at all," Burrowes told the Independent in a recent phone interview chaperoned by MTV, "but the coolest thing to happen so far is that they put all our pictures in the last issue. For me, that was incredible."
The show splits 17 contestants into teams that take on tasks aimed at unveiling the best qualities of Seventeen readers, including intelligence, honesty and kindness. Atoosa Rubenstein, the magazine's editor-in-chief, judges the competition, which eliminates women randomly throughout the series. The catch is that contestants are evaluated when they think the cameras aren't rolling—a gag meant to capture some cattiness among the supposedly nice girls.
"There were times when us girls didn't get along—I mean there were 17 of us living together, so, as you can imagine, especially with us being girls, it wasn't always so pretty," says Burrowes, who's not allowed to discuss the competition's outcome.
What Burrowes can confess is that being a small-town Montanan helped her stand out.
"It made me more unique," she says. "Here I was, this girl from Montana. When you're from a small town, people want to know more about you."
Starting Oct. 17, viewers will have their chance.

For a week in September, commuters waiting at Brighton Station will notice a new display as they look up from their free newspapers. Despite appearances, this will not be displaying the usual advertisements or train departure times; instead anonymous messages from fellow commuters will be shown for all the public to see.
Inspired by author and philosopher Alain de Botton's idea of transforming Jerusalem's Wailing Wall into something that we can all use:
"…an electronic version of The Wailing Wall… would anonymously broadcast our inner woes… The wall would offer a basic yet infinitely comforting – public acknowledgement that … none us are alone in the extent of our troubles." – Alain de Botton.
It's often when waiting, for something or someone, that there is the time to reflect. This can be uncomfortable or it can be a blessing: a break from rushing around where we are never quite alone with our thoughts. Let worries, regrets and hopes bubble to the surface. Anonymously share them with the wall so we can all find consolation from the fact that none of us are alone in our private world of innermost feelings. Visit thewaitingwall.com to see the wall and post a message. Let your private thoughts out and contribute to something beautiful.

Solving Water Problems
The following tips will assist the homeowner with the purchase of water treatment equipment.
These devices purportedly use electromagnetic fields to change the molecular makeup of various water constituents like calcium and iron to other more "inert" forms. The claimed result is a reduction or elimination of water contaminants.
Drinking water treatment equipment is gradually becoming common place in many homes and offices. Ion exchange units in the basement soften hard water problems; carbon filters remove chlorine at the tap; and counter top distillation units slowly drip out water free of heavy metals and dissolved solids.
Shock chlorination is a simple and inexpensive process that can be used to disinfect water supplies that have been contaminated as a result of these one-time contamination incidents. When done properly, shock chlorination will kill all the bacteria existing in a well.
A listing of symptoms in water (color, smell, taste), the common causes, and possible solutions to common drinking water problems.
Soft water and hard water are common terms used in households across Pennsylvania. If you asked someone what these terms meant, you would probably get a definition based on how well the water cleans when used with detergents or soaps or what is left behind in tea kettles.
Corrosive water is a term used to describe "aggressive" water that can dissolve materials with which it comes in contact. While aggressive water is usually not dangerous to consume by itself, it can cause serious drinking water quality problems by dissolving metals from plumbing systems. Many homes have pipes, solders and/or plumbing fixtures made from copper, lead or other metals.

Oh irony, oh hypocrisy! Joe Scarborough opened today's Morning Joe by singing the praises of NBC's Pete Williams for not jumping onto the story that other news outlets were reporting yesterday that an arrest had been made in the Boston Marathon bombing. Scarborough condemned journalists "far more interested in getting it first than getting it right."
But mere minutes later, Scarborough rushed to accuse former Republican congressman Chris Cox of "lying" in his role as NRA spokesman, and said he was ashamed of him. If Scarborough had taken a moment to research the matter and get it right, he would have realized he had the wrong Chris Cox. The NRA spokesman is not the former congressman. Scarborough grudgingly admitted his mistake about an hour later in the show. View the video after the jump.
Here's the Wikipedia entry for the Chris Cox who is the actual NRA spokesman. Scarborough could have Googled it in two seconds, as I did. Instead, he wrongly condemned a former colleague as a liar. So who was "far more interested in getting it first than getting it right," Joe?
Note: when Scarborough came back almost an hour later, he mentioned that Mark Halperin told him in the previous hour that he had the wrong Chris Cox. But rather than taking a moment off the air to confirm that, Scarborough only apologized "if" he made a mistake.
JOE SCARBOROUGH: A lot of conflicting media reports yesterday afternoon. Many of us began getting the bulletin there had been an arrest. That police identified the man that was responsible for the bombing and had taken him into custody and CNN, in fact, broke that and went with that story for some time. Then the Associated Press followed. And other news agencies followed as well. Mike Barnicle, it was Pete Williams who went against every instinct in this 24/7 news culture where people seem far more interested in getting it first than getting it right. It was Pete Williams who kept saying that the information is incorrect. And he acted like a news reporter is supposed to act. He actually waited until he got the information and passed it on to everyone else. Not an especially good day for journalism yesterday with news outlets messing up on an issue this important to the American people because they are just interested in speed instead of accuracy.
After Mika Brzezinski read a statement from "NRA spokesman Chris Cox" regarding the background check bill that was defeated yesterday, Scarborough weighed in.
SCARBOROUGH: Mika, there's so much to be said here. I think we have to start first let's start with the last thing you read. A statement by Chris Cox. A man I served with who I've always had great respect for. He's now the lobbyist for the NRA. At least when he was in Congress, he was considered a reasonable man. His statement was not reasonable. In fact, it wasn't even accurate. In fact, as Joe Manchin, the author of the bill, said yesterday, anybody that suggested that private gun sales, individual sales from one person to another, a family member or another, a friend to another, would be outlawed or would have to even go through this sort of check is lying. The NRA statement is a lie. And I am ashamed of Chris Cox this morning that he would, for whatever reason, I won't even--I won't even try to speculate as to why he felt it necessary to lie about what was in this bill. But he did.
Even almost an hour later, Scarborough wasn't willing to flatly admit he had made a ba
SCARBOROUGH: Mika, this NRA--first of all, Mark Halpern told me last hour he didn't believe this was the same Chris
cox I served with in the NRA so if that is it, apologies to Chris Cox from California. Regardless who made that statement for the NRA or Chris Cox who made the statement for the NRA, we will have it mentioned in a minute, just lied.

my '90 allante. only known her a week, but already in love!
guess it's phase I, as the top latches at the top corners. still learning about these babies.
has 130k miles, but looks and drives like new....after i got the one gremlin repaired. tranny was also leaking a little, but a friend has a transmission shop, so he serviced the tranny and installed a pan new gasket and that fixed that.
Hmmm I've seen an Allante very similar to that in my area. Good looking car, beautiful color! :)
Hello all. Pretty new to the forums, thought I'd post pics of my 1988 Allante. Bought back in May, just clicked over 88,500 miles. 17" Epic rims and all records since new.
Awarded First Place in Class 23 (Allante/XLR) at the 2008 Cadillac LaSalle Club Picnic (Northwest Region) on Sunday, August 26th, 2008.
Looks awesome! :cool2:
This is my 1993 Allante with 29,000 original miles, and I absolutely love it! It's basically a weekend driver, but it sure gives you something fun to look forward to! :)
Thanks Tony, most appreciated! They are 19 X 8.5 DUB Shorelines, with Cadillac center caps
Here's my 1990 Allante. She has 130,000 miles on the odometer but the body and paint are near perfect, the cloth top (no hardtop) is very good and the light tan interior is good. Some minor bugs to iron-out, but essentially a great car at a good price.
ADDENDUM: Here's a photo with the newly-purchased from CraigsList hardtop.
That's a very nice looking Allante and the interior really looks great!
Just had a chance to peek...that looks really nice and clean!

2012 Draft
Pirates Reportedly Agree to Terms with 12th Round Pick
2012 Draft
According to this article from the Rolla Daily News, the Pittsburgh Pirates have agreed to terms with 12th round draft pick Dalton Friend. The 6' 3", 230lb left-handed pitcher played for Jefferson College (JUCO) in 2012 and had signed a national letter of intent with Texas Tech for next season.
No terms of the deal were announced although it would be assumed to be for $100k or less due to the new draft bonus rules.
According to the article, Friend will fly down to Bradenton tomorrow, then join the State College Spikes next week. Baseball America had Friend rated 328th in the 2012 draft class....

He writes a weekly article on Pirates history for the site, has already interviewed many of the current minor leaguers with many more on the way and follows the foreign minor league teams very closely for the site.

A virtual battle of the bands
By John Gaudiosi
RALEIGH, North Carolina (Reuters) - Wannabe rock stars will have a greater choice of instruments and songs to choose from as videogames like "Guitar Hero World Tour" and "Rock Band 2" introduce new features.
After selling 23 million units globally in less than three years and generating $1.6 billion at retail, Activision Blizzard's "Guitar Hero" franchise is expanding on October 26.
In addition to playing bass and guitar, "Guitar Hero World Tour" will feature a drum set and microphone for a four-player band experience on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Wii and PlayStation 2.
"Singing in 'Guitar Hero World Tour' gives people the chance to try out their voice, even if they're too scared to go on a real stage," Haley Williams, lead singer of Paramore, said at a recent press conference.
Williams, who provided motion-capture for her in-game avatar, appears along with other musicians like Ozzy Osbourne, Jimi Hendrix, Sting and Ted Nugent.
Brian Bright, project director at "Guitar Hero World Tour" developer Neversoft, said a new feature called Music Studio enables gamers to compose, record, edit and share their own music online through GHTunes.
"We're going to reach a market that has never experimented with music software before," said Bright.
"It's going to be cool to hear all of the music that people create with the Music Studio in this game," added Williams. Continued...
