I would get either the steering replaced or take it to a dealership that actually knows what they are doing.
My car has been solid from day one, I recently updated the MFT to 3.5.1 and it has been excellent.
I am glad you enjoyed reading it, it is a long saga unfortunately.
No one is willing to touch the steering rack since it has already been replaced-Especially since it "drives normal" now. I will NOT go back to Bay Ridge Ford (the ones who installed it) AGAIN.
fool me once, shame on you, Fool me twice, shame on me.

Surviving Cancer
Frequently Asked Questions
4. Why does my age at diagnosis affect my survival?
Video length: 55 sec

Older adults are more likely to have chronic health conditions such as diabetes and heart disease. Managing these conditions can complicate treatment and affect the time it takes to recover. Also, older people's bodies metabolize, or break down, drugs at a slower rate than younger people, and this can have an effect on the way medicines are tolerated. For instance, some older adults may not be able to tolerate high doses of chemotherapy (cancer-fighting drugs) and radiation that are used to treat cancer.

Enhancing Teachers' Incorporation of ICT in Classroom Teaching
Leung, Kin Ping, Watters, James J., & Ginns, Ian S. (2005) Enhancing Teachers' Incorporation of ICT in Classroom Teaching. In 9th Annual Global Chinese Conference on Computers in Education, June 6–June 9 2005, Brigham Young University Hawaii USA. (Unpublished)
|PDF (243kB)
It is recognised worldwide that there is a slow uptake by teachers of Information Communication Technologies in school classrooms. This study focused on determining the effectiveness of a school-based, on-site, and ongoing professional development program conducted in a primary school in Hong Kong. There were training sessions conducted by fellow teachers, and participatory action research groups to share resources and experience in incorporating ICT in teaching. Teachers' incorporation of computers in teaching was significantly increased in the first year of intervention but showed fluctuation in the second year. A number of explanations were offered by teachers in their interviews for these changes. The paper concludes with an examination of the implications of the study for teaching in primary schools.

Tourism: a visual leisure pursuit
Item TypeConference Paper
MetadataShow full item record
This paper explores the ways in which tourism is located within an inner/outer dualism with respect to it being a perceptual experience. Sightseeing serves to construct social & personal worlds in the sense of literally guiding the tourist to what should be viewed & how these are then translated in 'experiences' of place. This kind of perceptual-cognitivism is a cultural commonplace, actively maintained in the accomplishment of a range of social practices, including the production of literature associated with tourism such as travel guides. The notion of tourist 'sites as sights' is therefore actively constructed and comes to define the nature of what counts as tourism as a leisure activity. Such sites might include buildings, religious sites, natural scenery & so on. Some may be listed as 'must see' whilst others are included in terms of a more leisurely or wider interest. This activity & social practice preserves an ideology of tourism as the journeying of psychological individuals seeking to add to their experience. It is argued this maintains an economy of tourism rooted in a psychological discourse of perception & this is related to examples of Barcelona as a tourist destination.

Lacrosse news straight to your inbox.
Monday July 23rd, 2012 5:06pm
This is one in an occasional series focusing on high school lacrosse hotspots from around the nation. Follow all the news from Pennsylvania and around the country on twitter at @ILPreps.
There still remains a slight collective chip on the shoulder from Philadelphia-area teams when it comes to their rivals south in Maryland. But the teams from Philadelphia continue making a stronger push each year that the best high school lacrosse is played in Pennsylvania—more specifically, Philadelphia.
Last year, Haverford School went wire-to-wire as the best team in the country. This year, the team that finishes as the nation's unofficially crowned national champion could be Haverford School's neighbors, two-time defending Pennsylvania state champion Conestoga.
But it won't exactly be that easy for the Pioneers. For one, they'll have to get by Haverford School, April 28, at the Katie Samson Invitational, and there are still plenty of loaded teams in the Philadelphia area that could get a crack at Conestoga, namely traditional power La Salle, and burgeoning power Garnet Valley, Abington and Ridley.
Heading into the bulk of inter-league and inter-region play, Here's a look at the top eight teams, in order, and the top eight players, debatedly up for conjecture, in the 2012 season.
1. Conestoga – The Pioneers are 30-1 over their last 31 games, reaching back to last year. They have the most formidable attack in the state—possibly the country—in Bradlee Lord, Tyler Brooke and Connor Frisina. The defense is anchored by Duke-bound Jamie Ikeda and goalie Rob Zonino (Michigan), and the long stick middie Miles Thomas is having a super spring. Coach Brian Samson has beefed up the schedule, and the only challenge that may be left on the schedule is an April 28 date against Haverford School, the only team to beat the Pioneers in the last two years.
2. Haverford School – The Fords were killed by graduation—and still have a lot of talent back, starting with Virginia-bound Will McNamara, and a strong supporting cast that includes Henry Blynn (Brown), Zach Rego (Georgetown), Sam Rohr (Penn) and a very capable goalie in rangy, athletic Jake Landman. The Fords received a break, if you will, when they had their 30-game winning streak snapped with a loss to Landon (Md.) on March 23. The Fords are 30-1 over their last 31 games, dating back to last year's 23-0 record and national championship. The class of the Inter-Academic League still holds court as the top team, but the gap is closing. Mark the April 28 date at the Katie Samson Tournament at Radnor High School down. The Fords face two-time defending state champion and the country's current No. 1 team, Conestoga, a team that still carries that loss.
3. Episcopal Academy – The Churchmen have a nice mix of youth and senior leadership. There are 13 seniors back from a team that went 6-11 last year, but coach Andy Hayes expects a turnaround. And he's getting it. Strengths will be defense and midfield, featuring Kevin Garhardt (Penn) and Ian Strain (Lehigh). Garhardt is a bonafide shut-down defender, and Strain controls the midfield. The Churchmen have already exceeded last year's victory total with a 8-1 start this season, supported by the offense provided from Tyler Odell (Penn), who scored seven goals in a victory over St. Joseph's Prep, and Dutch Buckley added four assists in Episcopal's 14-4 victory. The goalie combination of Henry Coote and Tyler Morrell has been solid this spring.
4. Malvern Prep – The Friars will win on defense. It's defense that kept Malvern Prep in the game against Conestoga, while its offense got on track. Defenders Eddie Morris (Johns Hopkins), Jack Sheridan (Notre Dame) and Kevin Samolsky will carry the Friars, along with junior goalie Matt Barrett (Virgina), one of the best goalies in the area. The Friars' attack was stung hard by graduation, leaving the attack up to Jake Glancy, Conor Glancy, Tom O'Connor and Joe Dunn.
5. La Salle – The Explorers will be fun to watch with Matt Rambo and Sean Coleman leading the offense. Coleman is still out nursing an injury, which leaves the offense solely on Rambo. Explorers' coach Bill Leahy will turn to goalie Corey Shaffer and a defense led by Casey Eidenshink (Lehigh). With defending St. Joseph's Prep having a down year—so far—the Explorers appear primed to retain their traditional top spot in the Philadelphia Catholic League. But how far they go in the PIAA state playoffs will depend on how quickly Coleman returns.
6. Garnet Valley – It's too bad the Jaguars play in the Central League—with Conestoga. Garnet Valley will win with defense, led by Ryan Guittare (Penn State) and Ryan Lehman (Maryland). The offense may be potent, buoyed by Vail Urso (Drexel), Rob Raucci (St. Joseph's), Jules Raucci (Drexel) and Joe Taulane. In most leagues, in other parts of the state, the Jags would be a favorite. Again, they just happen to be in the wrong league at the wrong time, with mighty Conestoga in the way.
7. Ridley – Always gritty, always physical, the Green Raiders are an X-factor in the Central League. The Green Raiders feature a balanced attack led by Dalton George, Kyle Bush, Jim Gormley, Lou Harrison and Kelton Heverly. Tom McDermott is a capable goalie.
8. Abington – New coach Ryan Greer has done a nice job taking the Abington program up another notch. The Ghosts will be led again by Princeton-bound Ryan Ambler and seem likely to win the Suburban One League. Junior Austin Pifani (North Carolina) steadies the defense. The Ghosts need to rebound from early setbacks against Ridley and Downingtown West.
1. Bradlee Lord – Conestoga / Attack (Maryland) – He's fast, a great dodger, and the most dangerous player with the ball on his stick in this area. Lord is a true game-changer, and though he's marked tightly every game, he's been exceptionally effective. His amazing play in the waning seconds of Conestoga's 6-5 victory over Malvern Prep a few weeks ago is the reason Lord is the king of the class. An outstanding finisher.
2. Will McNamara – Haverford School / Midfield (Virginia) – He's a first-line middie that plays man-down long pole. He's that versatile. A great athlete who's able to do it all. He has great range that can cover a lot of ground and proved his superiority with an all-around fantastic game against Gilman School last week. He finished with three goals, but took over when he had to, scoring a late third quarter goal that deflated a Gilman comeback.
3. Matt Rambo – LaSalle / Attack (Maryland) – A dominant lefty that's dangerous for even teams that know what to expect. He's still able to go left and still able to score. He draws slides, and is dangerous from anywhere. He'll need to deal with more pressure with the graduation of Kevin Forster, who Rambo will join at Maryland. He possesses an accurate shot, and an uncanny ability to get the shot off, despite being opposing team's number-one concern.
4. Matt Barrett – Malvern Prep / Goalie (Virginia) – He's like a Brian Dougherty 'Mini-Me.' He's large, quick, and very rangy. He has quick hands, and quick feet. Against Conestoga a few weeks ago, he singlehandedly kept the Friars in the game with several huge saves as the Friars got their offense going. He's fearless, not afraid to stretch out and make a save.
5. Connor Frisina – Conestoga / Attack (Delaware) – Part of the best scoring tandem in the state, with Bradlee Lord. If he gets within 10 yards of the net, forget about it. Exceptionally quick around the crease, great game sense, and an ability to change direction on a dime.
6. Ryan Ambler – Abington / Attack (Princeton) – A lefty from a great lacrosse blood line. He quarterbacks the offense and does a little bit of everything with his heady style. He's tall and agile with an accurate shot and a high lacrosse IQ.
7. Jackson Tamasitis – Penn Charter / Goalie (Army) – He's set for Army and is the reason why the Quakers will be in games. He cuts down angles very well, communicates well and has been the backbone of the Quakers the last three years.
8. Steve Brodeur – Strath Haven / Goalie (Lehigh) – Brodeur simply makes saves. He sees the ball very well, and sees a heavy dose of shots. He doesn't have much talent around him playing in the rugged Central League, which features Conestoga, yet he could be arguably the best senior goalie in the area.
Other Players to Watch: Miles Thomas – Conestoga / Midfield (Drexel), Jordan Klunder – Conestoga / Midfield (Drexel), Henry Blynn – Haverford School / Attack (Brown), Jake Landman – Haverford School / Goalie, Zach Rego – Haverford School / Attack (Georgetown), Sam Rohr – Haverford School / Midfield (Penn), Eddie Morris – Malvern Prep / Defense (Johns Hopkins), Warner Bailey – Haverford School / Defense (Georgetown), Tyler Brooke – Conestoga / Attack (Maryland), Ryan Lehman – Garnet Valley / Defense (Maryland), Russ Atkinson – Malvern Prep / Midfield (Navy), James Ikeda – Conestoga / Defense (Duke).

Airline Offers On-Board Hotel Rooms For First Class Passengers
Etihad Airways is installing private multi-room cabins with a living room, bedroom, ensuite bathroom, and a dedicated butler.
Traveling is fun but long flights can be quite taxing. Fortunately, some airlines are trying to make flights a nice and comfortable experience for their customers.
Abu Dhabi-based company Etihad Airways, the national carrier of the United Arab Emirates, took that kind of service up a notch with a new offering for their Business Class travelers.
Etihad Airways announced that they will be installing private multi-room cabins on their Airbus A380. The private cabins are meant to give Etihad's travelers a place to "work, rest, and play."
The private cabin, called The Residence, are designed for a single traveler or two guests who are traveling together and include a living room, a separate double bedroom, an ensuite bathroom, and a dedicated Savoy Academy-trained butler who ensures everything is in place for the travelers.
The cabins will be installed in the forward upper deck of the plane and will cover 125 square feet of space, enough space for Etihad's Business Class travelers to relax, maybe finish a bit of work, and enjoy their long flights. The Residence will have mobile and WiFi access for its guests.
The rooms are designed by some of the best interior designers and experts in hospitality and are meant to provide every bit of privacy, comfort, and convenience to guests.
The bedroom includes a double bed furnished with luxurious fabrics, Egyptian cotton sheets, and high quality pillows. The living room has a leather double-seat sofa with an ottoman, two dining tables, a cabinet for chilled drinks, and a 32-inch TV. The hallway leading towards the ensuite bathroom is fully carpeted and the bathroom has all the necessities it should have, such as a shower, toiletries, and even bathrobes for guests.
Aside from the trained butler, travelers who book The Residence also get the opportunity to sample gourmet meals or custom dishes prepared by an inflight chef.
James Hogan, Etihad Airways' President and Chief Executive Officer, said,
These new living spaces will raise inflight product and service standards to their highest level yet in commercial aviation and alter air travellers' expectations of inflight comfort and luxury forever.

Tortilla Pinwheel Appetizers
Posted by Lori Ross - Viewed 1526 times
By Lori Ross for Cooking Challenge Five – Five meals with Flatbreads from Pam Bray of Charleston, SC.
½ lb goat cheese or boursin
1 small red onion (diced)
¼ cup capers
6 flour tortillas – 10-12 inch spinach or tomato is pretty!
Microwave tortillas for 10-20 seconds until they are soft and flexible. Lay tortillas on a flat surface and spread a layer of goat cheese across the whole surface to the edges, then lay the salmon in a thin layer on the cheese, top with ¼ of the onion and capers and roll into a tight log. Repeat until all tortillas are filled. Slice each tortilla into 6 pieces. Makes 36 appetizers. Serve cold or room temperature. Serves 4-6.
Replace salmon with thin sliced roast beef, turkey, ham, tuna, and crab or baby shrimp.
Replace goat cheese with cream cheese and continue with recipe.
Replace goat cheese and meat/seafood with tuna salad, chicken salad, and crab or shrimp salad.
Heated variation:
Heat oven to 350 degrees. Once rolls are sliced, lay on cookie sheet and bake for 10 minutes or until browned and cheese is bubbling. Some nice combinations for warm pinwheels are:
Southwestern: Ground beef with taco seasoning and shredded Mexican blend cheese in tomato tortillas. Serve with salsa.
Mexican: Cream cheese with sliced pickled jalapenos, grated jack cheese and chopped tomatoes in spinach tortillas. Serve with Salsa.
Old Bay: Cream cheese, crabmeat, minced onions, Old Bay seasoning and grated cheddar in spinach tortillas. Serve with a sprinkling of Old Bay.
Spinach: Cream cheese, spinach, minced garlic, grated parmesan.

First I wish this on NO ONE. Having a heatercore go out is not a
fun thing in an SN95 since to replace it you have to remove the whole
dash from the car. The part number for the 95 GT Heatercore from Ford
is F4ZZ18476A and the cost as of July of 98 is $89.63. Well as I said
it is July and I really don't need my heater right now, just my car.
I don't care to be taking out the dash when it is averaging 100 degrees
outside in the Texas heat. So I am bypassing the HC for now and will
attempt that replacement at a later/cooler time. Here is a few pictures
and tips on the bypass.
The fist thing to get is the right parts. I picked up
this kit from "Parts America" for about $2.50 it fits from
1/4 to 3/4 heater hoses. Make sure what ever you get is made for heater
hose because of the temp. the water can reach passing through the
splice. When you go to the parts counter ask for a BARB SPLICE that
is 5/8 to 3/4, this is the correct sizes of the hoses on your car.
you get the hoses pulled off the heatercore then you can see the different
diameters of them. Check for any cracks or tears in the ends before
placing the splice in between them.
now the easy part. Here is a picture of the splice (Barb Splice) it
self, not much to it huh. Make sure first you place the clamps that
come with the splice on each hose THEN put the splice into each end
of the hose.
is what the install looks like when finished. Simple and quick (10
Minutes) job that will save you at the track or on the side of the
road one day. It is VERY wise to go spend the $2.50 for the part and
keep on along with a pair of pliers and screwdriver in your car. If
you are like me you keep a toolbox in the trunk anyway for just such
emergencies. I do have to tell on my self I did not have a splice
when this happened to me, but I did make it the last 10 miles home.
are the two holes/post left over from the Heatercore after the hoses
are removed. You can just leave them like this until you replace it.
Hope this has helped and also hope you never have to do it yourself,
but most likely if you are looking at this you are about to do it..

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Great Lakes & Ohio River Division commander visited Music City for the first time this week, and then left more in tune with Nashville District's "people."
Col. Margaret W. Burcham, who has been selected for promotion to brigadier general, used the visit as an opportunity to meet employees and gain a first-hand perspective of the operations and projects within the district's seven-state area.
She met with Nashville District leadership at the district headquarters, Jan. 11. She received extensive briefings, toured the various work sections, met employees, and took time to recognize 15 people for their outstanding duty performance.
"It was a privilege to meet her and to see that she has a keen interest in what we do here in the Nashville District every day," said Maritere Gonzalez, a secretary in Project Management. "I could see it was important to her to understand our roles in the organization and to recognize the top performers."
Burcham shook a lot of hands and interacted with as many people as she could to get to know them, but she also used conversation to gauge the important issues and to better understand the district's civil works mission. She learned and saw a lot. However, what caught her attention most was not the facilities or projects, but the greatest asset in the district.
"The biggest impression I'm walking away with is the people," Burcham stressed about what she valued most in the Nashville District as she tuned into what they had to say. "What a great crew… I got to go around and shake hands and get a feel for the kind of quality of people, the enthusiasm, the technical background – it was very impressive."
The colonel said she met with seasoned employees who were very knowledgeable, but especially enjoyed seeing younger workers making an impact in the district.
"I saw people who said 'I'm the old engineer' or 'I'm the old contracting officer,' which is really neat because we need that experience coupled with those new folks coming in to build a really strong team," Burcham said.
On Jan. 12, Burcham toured Chickamauga Lock in Chattanooga, Tenn., visited with Tennessee Valley Authority Officials, and then traveled to Center Hill Dam in Lancaster, Tenn., where she received more project briefings on the seepage issues at both Center Hill and Wolf Creek Dams.
She said being on the ground, being able to talk to people, and taking the time to see things with her own eyes will serve her well as she leads the division and works issues at higher levels of the Corps and the federal government.
"I've had people pumping me full of information on the complexities of the work that they do, and I'm certainly walking away feeling very confident that the team here in Nashville has things well in hand. Now I'm going to head back to Cincinnati, and along the way I'll be up at USACE Headquarters, and I'll be meeting with Congressmen and Senators trying to work the budget, which is the big thing that is coming up. When I've been out here and seen the people, heard their challenges in person, and then actually walked the ground, and also met with stakeholders who have impressed upon me what really matters to them, I have a much more personal feeling about what's going on… so that I can make the right kinds of decisions and set the right policies to support the district."
Mike Wilson, deputy for Programs and Project Management in the Nashville District, accompanied Burcham during her visit and said the division commander understood she needed to see the projects and people to help her gain a clear understanding of the issues.
"We obviously put the projects that have the biggest focus, the biggest visibility, sometimes the biggest challenges out in front of her, and with that came the folks who are going to make the projects a success," Wilson said. "And she enjoys hearing that. She loves seeing their energy. She loves seeing what they have contributed to the project and you can tell by just the way she interacts with her folks that that's very important to her… the people, the employees of the Corps of Engineers."
Wintery weather kept the colonel from visiting Wolf Creek Dam, which is the largest construction project ongoing in the Nashville District. The division commander plans to return in the near future to see the foundation remediation project, to walk on the work platform, and again see with her own eyes the project and shake hands with the people doing the work in order to fully understand the issues involved with the installation of the barrier wall.

Stickers Aren't Just For Kids: They're Also A Powerful Marketing Tool For Businesses
Posted on March 29, 2014
Each year, more than 600,000 businesses cease to exist. If you want your business to not only survive but also thrive, you need to take advantage of every opportunity you have to promote it. And in order to take advantage of all the promotional opportunities that may come your way, you need the right tool for the job. Thanks to their versatility and effectiveness, promotional stickers are the perfect way to make people aware of your business. In fact, they're so versatile that some companies get extremely creative with their use of stickers.
If you want to light your own creative spark with ways that you can use stickers to market your business, here are some tried-and-true methods for doing exactly that:
Provide Information
When you initially think of stickers, you may only picture an image with no more than a few words on it. Although that style of sticker can be quite useful (as you'll see in later parts of this post), it's not the only style you can utilize. Thanks to the flexible nature of custom sticker printing, you can opt for ones that have significantly more text on them.
One example of using stickers with text to help people take notice of what you're selling is to put them directly on your products' packaging. Because you can use stickers to create a visual contrast on the packaging, it will help to grab potential customers' attention. To maximize the effectiveness of this strategy, be sure to put the most compelling reasons to buy your product on the sticker. That will allow the sticker to both grab and hold people's attention.
Increase Brand Awareness
Regardless of your specific business or the industry it's in, one thing you want is for people to remember you. That's why it's so beneficial for businesses to have a memorable name and logo. But because people are exposed to so many businesses and marketing messages on a daily basis, simply having a recognizable name and logo isn't enough. Instead, you need to really cement your business in people's minds by creating a strong brand for your business.
While there are many different components to successful branding, visual elements do play a major role. What's great about utilizing stickers as a visual branding tool is, regardless of where you're at, there will almost always be a way to use them. From applying them to surfaces to handing them out as freebies, stickers work really well for increasing the number of people who are exposed to your brand.
Include Free Stickers with Orders
A common mistake that businesses make is thinking that fulfilling an order should basically be the end of their interaction with a customer. In reality, actually shipping something to a customer is a great opportunity to continue building a relationship with them. Even if you're in an industry where it's not common for customers to place repeat orders, every existing customer has the potential to refer you to at least one new customer.
One of the ways you can increase the odds that they'll do just that is to strengthen your relationship with them. In addition to providing great service and quality products, adding extra touches like putting a couple of stickers in the box you use for shipping is a great way to ensure customers think positively of you and remember the name of your business when someone brings up the type of products that you sell.
Use Stickers as a Call to Action
Want potential customers to take a specific action like visiting your website? By coming up with a compelling reason – such as giving away a freebie and then putting that information on a sticker (along with your website URL) – you can increase the number of people who directly engage with your business.
Highlight Retail Spaces
If you have your own retail store, stickers are a great way to emphasize the products that you're most interested in selling. And if your products are sold in other retail locations, sending stickers to those retailers can provide a way for your products to stand out from the others in the store.
While it would be fairly easy to fill an entire book with ways to utilize stickers for marketing, the above ideas should be enough to get your own creative wheel turning. Keep in mind that, thanks to the very affordable cost of stickers, it doesn't take a significant budget to test multiple ideas and see which ones work best.

Its a big YES for me! Sticker is one of the effective way to promote a company or product. It can easily attract customers because they can simply be identified based on the logos or the designs which are very attractive to the eyes. The more creative, the more attracted the customers will be. It increases the possibility to expose ones branding.

Can I include the twitter libraries (for example tmhOAuth or twitteroauth) in the theme package? I am asking the question because these libraries include the cURL functions, when you check the theme using the theme checked plugin, it gives warning of the cURL usage in the theme. So I would like to know if that is ok to include it?
Can anyone please tell about this?
Yes, as far as I know you can. We included them in our two latest themes and both flew through the review process
Yep, I've included tmhOAuth and twitteroauth in my last approved wordpress theme. I think it's not a problem.
You should check the license of those libraries. What is the license? Does it allow commercial usage? Note that there are different rules for commercial usage and you should check the details.
@designedbydash @dan_fisher The reviewers don't check the licenses. You should confirm legal usage.
At upload page there is checkbox for that: Any images, sounds, video…this work is entirely my own and I have full rights to sell it on CodeCanyon.

Secret Superstar: Danieal Manning, Chicago Bears
Secret Superstar: Danieal Manning, Chicago Bears
The 2009 Chicago Bears were a team full of should haves, would haves and could haves. Fans and blowhards alike instantly labeled them Super Bowl contenders based on the acquisition of Jay Cutler alone. But any logical football mind knows that even in a quarterback-driven league, one player cannot take you to the promise land.
Enter 2010, a season that involved much greater fortune for a much improved football team. By opening his pocketbook in the off-season Jerry Angelo (General Manager) proved that he was willing to spend big in hopes of achieving playoff glory. The high-risk hire of Mike Martz coupled with the high-dollar signing of Julius Peppers seemed to be steps in the right direction.
When you think of a Martz offense, you envision a relentless vertical passing game that has no desire to run the football. Well, Martz's stubbornness must be wearing thin because the Bears deployed a much more balanced attack and finished in the bottom half of the league in terms of pass attempts. That being said, the offense finished with a bottom-of-the-barrel -135.5 cumulative PFF grade, making it clear that a majority of the praise should go to Lovie Smith's defense that finished with a +93.5 mark and 9th in total yardage allowed.
Many thanks for the improvement will deservedly go to Julius Peppers and Brian Urlacher, but Secret Superstar Danieal Manning must be added to the mix as the player that shored up the back-end of a leaky secondary.
Stats Don't Lie
Make no mistake about it, the Bears statistically were better against the pass in 2009 in terms of total yardage. However, that can be misleading: the Bears' 2010 coverage grades were better and teams ran the ball 81 times fewer than in 2009. Opponents abandoned the run much earlier in hopes of picking up yards through the air.
In his first year as a full-time starter, Manning didn't hold anything back. He finished the season as our No. 5 rated safety with a grade of +9.5. There was never really a drop-off in his play at any point of the season with some of his most impressive plays coming in pass coverage.
Manning's gaudy pass defense numbers earned him Lovie Smith's continuous praise throughout the season. Opposing QB's success didn't come easy; they saw a QB rating of 59.7 when throwing into Manning's coverage, with only 55% of their passes being completed for an average of 9.7 yards – a Top 10 number for safeties.
Not necessarily a tackling machine, but Manning compiled a solid total of 64 tackles in 2010 and rarely faltered. He only had three missed tackles all the season, which tied him for the second lowest rate among all NFL safeties.
But, of course, I left the most impressive number for last. At no point last season did he surrender a touchdown. There were four other safeties that didn't the same, but none of them were targeted more than Manning.
Double Duty
Did I forget to mention amidst all the defense talk that he is also a pretty good kick returner? Midway through the 2008 season, he took over full time kick return duties from one of the all-time great returners, Devon Hester. That year, he led the NFL in returns of 30 yards or more, return average, return touchdowns and was named to his first NFL All-Pro selection.
While playing a larger role in the defensive game plan in 2009, increased snaps at safety resulted in decreased special teams opportunities. The Bears deployed a two-man Abilene Christian return game that split up duties. Both players did well; Johnny Knox and Manning combined for 1,596 yards, placing them second overall in total kick return yards. A 27.4 average between the two placed them in the top 10.
2010 proved to be another productive season for the Bears returners, doing it this time with a different combination as Hester was instered back into action in Knox's place. Hester and Manning averaged 30 yards per kickoff return together.
It's fair to assume he gets overlooked at safety because of his sucess as a returner. Most special team standouts are automatically categorized as one-trick ponies, but if Manning can continue to build upon his productive 2010 campaign, there is no reason more people won't take notice.
At 28 years young and coming into his prime as a defender, it's hopeful at this time next year we can remove the "Secret" part of this label for Danieal Manning.

Long Range Resistance invites you to an important "hearing" so that the voices of the forest may be heard:
March 7th, 2012
Santa Cruz County Building
Room 525 -- 701 Ocean Street
Gather at 9:00am sharp
We will form a circle outside and enter the LAFCO meeting as a group.
On the morning of March 7th, the final legal block to UCSC's planned expansion into the forest of Upper Campus is expected to be lifted. Upper Campus is outside of the Santa Cruz city limits, which means that LAFCO (the Local Agency Formation Commission, a state agency) must grant approval for water and sewer service extensions before any development can happen.
UCSC's current expansion proposal calls for building on 240 acres in what is now forest and chaparral & housing up to 2,000 additional students. Long Range Resistance is a coalition of people on and off campus who are dedicated to creatively resisting UCSC expansion through community education, grassroots organizing and direct action.
Let's gather together to remind the powers-that-be that destroying the unique ecological and cultural landscape of Upper Campus is not an acceptable option. Let's remind them that we are communities with the courage to resist their destructive and unsustainable agenda.

The UCSC is going to do no matter what the community demands at these Dog and Pony meetings. The only way they will listen is by Direct Action - Tree sitting. We have a similliar situation at UC Berkeley. Good Luck

Pixie Geldof's status as a budding style-icon went unchallenged over the weekend as she joined a group of friends in a north London park.
The tanned teenager relaxed in clunky leather biker boots, 80s style denim shorts and a cropped grey t-shirt, topped off with a vintage floral cardigan and Wayfarer style sunglasses.
Making the most of the sunny weather the Tatler cover girl spent the day on Primrose Hill.
Bowling clever: Pixie Geldof wacks the ball and completes a successful run in a game of cricket with a gang of friends
Her fashionable gang included model-of-the-moment Agyness Deyn's best friend, fashion designer Henry Holland and the singer Remi Nicole.
But the 17-year-old daughter of Bob Geldof and the late Paula Yates didn't waste her time posing for the watching paparazzi. Instead she shed her boots and grabbed a cricket bat, sending the ball flying.
But Pixie didn't take the game too seriously - she broke off from batting to playfully wrestle with 25-year-old Remi on the field.
The coolest girl in town: Pixie shows her unique dress sense in 80s style denim shorts and a floral cardigan
After inspecting her flat stomach there was then time for more adult pastimes, including a quick cigarette and a drink from a can.
Despite her tender age the teen has a busy social life, regularly visiting nightclubs and attending showbiz parties with her 19-year-old sister Peaches.
But she is said to 'always obey' her father Bob Geldof's curfew during the school term.
It's just not cricket: Pixie and a friend wrestle each other to the ground
Pixie recently followed in her mother's footsteps by posing for the cover of Tatler. The society magazine named her 'the coolest girl in town' and said she was 'very London, very now'.
And it appears her fashion sense has caught the eye of high street retailer New Look.
Over the weekend, reports claimed New Look had approached the teenager to design a limited edition collection for the store.
Last year, Lily Allen designed a range for New Look, including ballroom dresses and her signature oversized gold jewellery.

Panel Loading Question
I have a question and found some similar topics but could not find the specific answer.
I know ideally that a panel should be loaded equally on both legs but i have read on here also that it is not a big deal for residential.
My question is this: Can i put all of my motors i.e. furnace, refrigerators etc on one leg and all of my lighting on the other, then fill in with my wall receptacles? I ask this to try to avoid the annoying dimming of lights when these motors start and kick in. I have reduced some of this annoyance by switching to CFL's which dont seem to mind the split second voltage drop. Obviously I cannot seperate out the AC as this is 240volt.
Just curious if seperating them is an issue or not.
Just put your motors on dedicated circuits and load all the circuits equally across both legs. That should help.
One other question. Does it matter if they are close to the supply? I mean the first breakers or the last on the bus.
I know surge supressors are supposed to be and i didn' know if this would help or not.
Surge breakers need to be close to the neutral bus to minimize the length of the wire(s).

ST. PETERSBURG — Clearwater Central Catholic did not expect Wednesday's match against Berkeley Prep to go the way it did.
Neither did the Buccaneers.
For the Marauders, who have 15 returning juniors and seniors, including Florida-bound Lindsey Cooper, this was the season they would exact revenge on a team that has owned them over the years. The Marauders lost three times to the Bucs last season, including a 4-1 second-round region loss, and entered Wednesday as the 38th-ranked team in the nation in the ESPN Rise Fab 50.
The Bucs have just been trying to find themselves after losing nine players to graduation.
So after a hard-fought 0-0 tie, the Marauders (11-0-1, 3-0-1) were perplexed at the result just as much as the Buccaneers (8-6-1, 3-0-1) as Berkeley Prep secured homefield for the 3A-10 district playoffs. The Marauders outshot the Buccaneers 13-10, and both teams had several chances to score.
"They surprised me the way they came to play," Marauders coach Frank Seidl said. "We have to play with intensity from the start. We have to learn to play to our roles. We were stagnant at the beginning and we picked up the effort in the second half, but we have to be like that always."
Bucs goalkeeper Bryane Heaberlin, who started for the Under-20 Women's U.S. National Team in the World Cup last summer, was a difference maker as the North Carolina-bound junior made one spectacular play after another before severely injuring her right ankle midway through the second half.
On the play, Jennifer Marzi made a cross from the left side near the penalty box and Kelly Shanahan raced in to shoot only to have Heaberlin make a timely slide to boot the ball away for her sixth and final save.
"We're definitely happy with our effort," said Buccaneers sophomore forward Brooke Banning, who had two shots sail barely wide in the second half. "We got a sense of confidence early on when we almost scored in the first five minutes. They have such a good team that this result can do wonders for us."

MoMA Adds Video Games To Their Permanent Collection
The museum has introduced 14 classic examples of the genre to show the design thinking that lies behind their creation.
MoMA has introduced 14 classic video games to its permanent collection, with the aim of including around 40 in the near future, to show the design thinking that lies behind game creation. These games, which will be installed in the Museum's Philip Johnson Galleries in March 2013, are Pac-Man, Tetris, Another World, Myst, SimCity 2000, vib-ribbon, The Sims, Katamari Damacy, EVE Online, Dwarf Fortress, Portal, flOw, Passage, and Canabalt.
Over the next few years, they would also like to acquire other games including Pong, Snake, Space Invaders, Asteroids, Donkey Kong, Super Mario Bros., The Legend of Zelda, and Minecraft. In selecting the games, curators looked for a number of factors such as historical and cultural relevance, aesthetic expression, functional and structural soundness, and innovative approaches to technology and behavior.
From MoMA:
Are video games art? They sure are, but they are also design, and a design approach is what we chose for this new foray into this universe. The games are selected as outstanding examples of interaction design— a field that MoMA has already explored and collected extensively, and one of the most important and oft-discussed expressions of contemporary design creativity… This acquisition allows the Museum to study, preserve, and exhibit video games as part of its Architecture and Design collection.

No, do not trim the hair.

My Siberian has a lot of hair between her toes that cause her to slip and slide. My home has hardwood flooring and tile, so I do trim the hair between her toes to help her get better traction. I see no problem trimming the fur between a cat's toes if it's needed. I know my Lily appreciates it.
Member 540615 answered on 7/31/08. Helpful? / 1
If you're comfortable trimming the cat's hair do so ONLY if you have scissors with guards on them or trust me, eventually you WILL cut a toe. Its not pretty and it can be costly if it has to be sutured. The hair growth will not hinder her/him in any way.
I too have hardwoods and Bella slips and slides so much that trimming her slippers, as I call it, is part of our weekly grooming but I am 100% comfortable grooming her, I use clippers with a guard on them and she doesn't move around at all.
Bella (In Loving Memory) answered on 7/31/08. Helpful? / 1
If it's so long that she does slip and slide or step on it when she's walking, then I would HAVE it trimmed by a professional. Many groomers have individual listing for their services list "just" claws, "just" a bath, etc. with individual prices. I didn't do this for Delilah until one day she stepped on gum that missed the trash can. What a mess.

Hi if anyone has had multiple procedures performed at once especiall any FFS related I would love your opinion on recovery, healing etc... I am looking to have surgery in the next few weeks and have the following procedures: Brow Bone Reduction Chin Contour Tracheal Shave Minor Revision Rhinoplasty Upper Lip Lift (also having BA from 600cc silicon mod+ up to 800cc Silicon High Profile) I am considering cheek implants but im wondering whether the bandaging after surgery for chin/brow will put pressure on the cheek area and push them forward whist they are healing? Or possibly this is too many procedures at once? It seems like a lot when I see it in writing im nervous! Any comments/ suggestions/ tips would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance x

ERIK AND GINA'S WEDDINGApril, 2010 in Bloomington
"Our wedding was amazing! We loved getting married in Bloomington-Normal. There are lots of great locations for photos and it was pretty affordable. We took a gamble by getting married in April, but our day turned out perfect! We owe a big thanks to all of our vendors, because our day could have been as special and memorable without them. Wedding Mapper was a great resource for us. We loved the budget feature, and being able to make an interactive map of our wedding locales was very helpful for our guests."

Normal, IL, United States
"I would recommend Sugar Art to anyone looking for affordable, delicious desserts or catering for your wedding. They are not the most professional people you will meet with, but they know what they're doing. We had cupcakes at our wedding and had to pay a non-refundable fee to borrow a cupcake stand. I do wish we could have gotten our money back on that since we just used it for one night, but overall we were happy with Sugar Art. Everyone raved about how good our cupcakes were! She also drew our monogram on each cupcake for no extra fee."
DJ4UPeoria, IL 61651, USA
"We loved having DJ4U at our event! They are very professional and did everything asked. My husband and I are very into music and we created a list of songs we wanted to be played during dinner. DJ4U was able to accommodate us and did a wonderful job. Our DJ, Jason (who is the president and founder of DJ4U) did an excellent job getting our wedding guests on the dance floor and pumped up. He made sure to let us know when he was going to start everything so there were no surprises. He takes requests and has so much music that pretty much everyone's requests should always get granted. We loved DJ4U!"
Jean's Flower Basket308 Kingsley Street
Normal, IL, United States
"We dealt with Cindy at Jean's Flower Basket, and had a very pleasant experience. We weren't exactly sure what we wanted and we could have used a little more guidance in the selection process, but she was still very helpful. I met with her multiple times and she was patient with all of my questions. Our flowers were gorgeous and I was very happy!"
Beyond the Well1302 S Low St
Bloomington, IL, United States
"We loved working with Beyond the Well! Karen and Nate are top-notch at what they do, and are such a joy to work with. They were dressed very nice and Nate even matched our wedding colors! They had some great ideas about what photos to take and where, and we are very happy with the results. Our photos were done just a couple weeks after the wedding and we couldn't have been happier!"

"We love Fully Alive Photography! She did our engagement photos and took boudoir photos of the bride for the groom's wedding present. We could not book her for our wedding because she had a conflict, but we loved working with Tracy. She is very professional and great at what she does. She's got a lot of creative ideas and really made us feel comfortable. We love all of the photos she has taken for us and recommend her to everyone!"

"Amber did a great job with our wedding day beauty. We had a second stylist with us, but Amber did my airbrush make-up and styled hair for two of my four bridesmaids. She worked very quickly, which is always helpful when you are in a time crunch! My bridesmaids looked beautiful, and I loved my make-up! The airbrush was a bit uncomfortable for me because I wasn't used to it, but she did her best to help me relax. The make-up stayed on all day and night though tears, sweat, and everything else! If you want a professional stylist who will make you feel beautiful, go with Amber!"
Wedding Fashion Vendor:
Men's WearhouseChico, CA, United States
"Our groomsmen and the groom bought suits and rented ties/vests from Men's Warehouse. They were very accommodating and we enjoyed working with them. We went when they were running a sale, so everyone got their suits for just $150. It's super helpful that they work with David's Bridal so vests can match dresses. They also have a tailor on-site, which was such a relief. One groomsmen had a problem getting his pants back, but everything worked out. I loved that I could go online and see who to nag about not renting their vest and tie yet. It was also helpful that they have so many locations. We had a groomsmen who lived out of state, so he was able to go in for a vest fitting and rent his tie in another state. I do wish the rentals didn't have to be returned the next day, but it was fine. I would recommend Men's Wearhouse for sure."
Wedding Fashion Vendor:
A Perfect FitBloomington, IL, United States
"Linda was great! She had my dress ready when she was supposed to and did what I wanted with the bustle. My dress ended up being a little tight, but I'm not sure if that was her fault or mine. I would recommend her though. She was very sweet and still professional."
Wedding Fashion Vendor:
David's Bridal
"I was not very pleased when I went in to David's Bridal to look at bridal gowns, but with such a large store it depends on who you get. However, we went there again for bridesmaids dresses and I was very peased with their service. I was pretty indecisive and they were very patient. We got two different dresses for four bridesmaids and they were different prices. The sales clerk let us divide the total cost by 4 so everyone could pay the same price. The dresses came in very quickly and they let one bridesmaid pick them all up. I would recommend David's Bridal at elast for bridesmaid dresses, especially if you want matching vests, which you can get from Men's Wearhouse!"

Bridal Elegance1329 East Empire Street
Bloomington, IL, United States
"I got my wedding dress at Bridal Elegance and was pretty happy with their service. They do have a lot of employees, so I think your experience depends on who helps you. I went in once to look at and try on some dresses without an appointment and they were able to accommodate me. They wrote everything down so that when I returned I could look at the dresses I liked. When I went in a second time with my bridesmaids I set up an appointment. They didn't start pulling the dresses until we got there and we ended up having to wait for close to a half an hour. This was frustrating because we were in a little bit of a time crunch. Since they knew we were coming, they should have had the dresses pulled when we got there. That day the manager helped us and she was great. She was very knowledgable and we had a good experience. I do wish they had a tailor on site, but they did steam my dress a couple days before the wedding for just $10, which I thought was very reasonable."

"Grace Church was awesome! They were so sweet to us and very affordable. We were able to have a slideshow video played after the ceremony, and the sound guy (George) even recorded our music. The man who was supposed to be the janitor could not come due to a family emergency, but they did not miss a beat. He was quickly replaced, and his substitute did a wonderful job. Grace Church does have certain criteria you must meet if you get married there, but most churches do. Although it is not necessarily open to everyone, it was perfect for us!"

text: ROCKVILLE, Md., Feb. 22, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Synthetic Biologics, Inc. (NYSE MKT: SYN), a developer of synthetic biologics and innovative medicines for serious infections and diseases, announced today that its flupirtine sublicensee, Meda AB (Meda), has received a green light from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to conduct a Phase II proof of concept study for the treatment of fibromyalgia as reported in Meda's 2012 year-end report. Meda has announced that the randomized, double-blind, placebo and active-controlled study of patients with fibromyalgia will be conducted at 25 clinics in the U.S. In May 2010, the Company entered into an agreement with Sweden-based Meda granting exclusive sublicense to all of its patents and pending patents covering the use of flupirtine for fibromyalgia in the U.S., Canada and Japan. Meda assumed all future development costs for the commercialization of flupirtine for fibromyalgia. Synthetic Biologics received an upfront payment and is entitled to future milestone payments, plus royalties. "We are pleased to share Meda's update on the status of its clinical development program of flupirtine for fibromyalgia," stated Jeffrey Riley, Chief Executive Officer at Synthetic Biologics. "We believe Meda's experience with flupirtine outside of the U.S. will help bring this potential new class of treatment to the millions of people that suffer from fibromyalgia in the U.S." About Fibromyalgia and Flupirtine Fibromyalgia is a chronic and debilitating condition characterized by widespread pain and stiffness throughout the body, accompanied by severe fatigue, insomnia and mood symptoms. Fibromyalgia affects an estimated 3-6% of the population worldwide, including an estimated 10 million patients in the U.S. There are presently three products approved for this indication in the U.S. – Lyrica®, Cymbalta® and Savella®. Flupirtine is differentiated from these products in that it employs a unique mode of action.

"Hardy Dog Park is an enclosed, fenced, off-leash dog park that spans 2.16 acres along Hardy Street and Claremont Avenue in the Rockridge District. Slightly out of the way and directly underneath the freeway (Highway 24), it serves as an ideal location for dogs to play in a shaded area and to bark loudly without disturbing the peace. There is also green grass and open space outside of the enclosed dog park, but dogs are to remain on leash once outside of the fenced area of the park. There is off-site and street parking available."
Yeah, it's not a pretty park, the smell can be overwhelming and the noise from the overhead BART trains and sirens is horrible, but it's convenient and provides shelter from the rain. Most patrons are responsible, friendly local residents who frequent the park regularly. As a result, their dogs all get along pretty well. Peak hours (between 5:30-7 pm) typically have about a dozen dogs.
Kudos to Oakland for utilizing this space as an enclosed dog park, a kid's playground, and a grass area. The alternative would be a homeless encampment, I suppose. While it won't be the first place we consider, we might visit again. I'm not sure where the "2.16 acres" comes from, it's significantly smaller than that, maybe the size of a small house's lot? There's a load of bark for the dogs, chairs for the humans, and it's out of the direct sun, but it's a bit of a drive through town for us so we'll explore other options for when we want to socialize with other dogs.
Hardy Dog Park
I found this park in the Dog Lover's Companion to the Bay Area and was extremely disappointed in what I found. Under the freeway is fine but it amounts to an enclosed slab of concrete and I didn't find it very clean or inviting. I will not go back, even in a pinch I'll drive further for something more suitable.

You are herecontent / Wider Scope in Pre-War Probe Sought
Wider Scope in Pre-War Probe Sought
By Walter Pincus, The Washington Post
Democrats on intelligence panel want right to question top policymakers.
Democrats on the Senate intelligence committee want the right to interview top policymakers or speechwriters as part of the inquiry into whether the Bush administration exaggerated or misused intelligence in the run-up to the Iraq war, Sen. John D. Rockefeller IV (D-W.Va.), the panel's vice chairman, said yesterday.
Rockefeller raised the possibility of issuing subpoenas, and outlined a more wide-ranging approach than the one described by Committee Chairman Pat Roberts (R-Kan.), who said the work would center on comparing public statements by administration officials to intelligence reports circulating at the time. Rockefeller, Roberts and four other senators are to meet today to work out a schedule and process for the committee's review.
"Comparing public statements with what the intelligence community published does not alone tell the story," Rockefeller said in a statement yesterday. "If necessary, we may need to conduct interviews and request supporting documents." Rockefeller warned that "if the committee is denied testimony or documentation, we must be prepared to issue subpoenas."
Rockefeller's recommended approach also appears tougher than the one reflected in an agreement he and Roberts reached last year. At that time, they agreed to schedule the "Phase Two" of their inquiry into prewar intelligence, which would include some of the most sensitive issues, including whether the administration mischaracterized intelligence in public. That inquiry would review public statements, reports and testimony by U.S. government officials and determine whether they "were substantiated by intelligence information," according to a committee statement in February 2004.
It was to be a relatively simple process, as Roberts described it Sunday on CBS's "Face the Nation." "You have the statements over here," he said. "Then you have the intelligence over here. And I want members to roll up their sleeves . . . and say, 'Okay, here's the statement, here's the intelligence. Is it credible?' "
Under last year's agreement, it was unclear whether the committee would consider whether there were contradictory or competing intelligence reports circulating at the time public statements were made that could call them into question, or whether the panel would simply check to see whether each statement could be backed up by at least one piece of intelligence.
For example, in a Sept. 8, 2002, appearance on CNN, Condoleezza Rice said Iraq was receiving "high-quality aluminum tubes that are only really suited for nuclear weapons programs, centrifuge programs." At the time, there were serious disagreements within the intelligence community over whether those tubes were meant for centrifuges - which can be used to extract weapons-grade uranium - or whether they were meant for anti-aircraft rockets, which proved to be the case. If it could be shown that there was at least one intelligence report that substantiated Rice's statement, that might be enough to justify her statement under terms of the panel's earlier agreement.
As one senior committee staff member put it, "This study will not punish 'cherry-picking' intelligence, whether by the administration or by Democrats."
Under Rockefeller's desired approach, Rice could be interviewed to ask her what intelligence she based her statements on, and whether she was aware of the contrary views.
Yesterday, a Senate staff member familiar with Roberts's views said he thinks it may not be necessary to interview anyone. "But if the committee members decide they need to speak to those involved, they can agree to do that," he added.
Rockefeller said that several new intelligence items need to be included in the Phase Two review that were not known when the committee released the first phase of its review more than a year ago. That phase centered on the quality of prewar intelligence, not on how the administration presented it publicly.
Rockefeller cited the Defense Intelligence Agency's report in 2002 that questioned the reliability of an al Qaeda captive whose information later became the foundation for allegations that Iraq was training Osama bin Laden operatives. Although the analysis of how the administration used intelligence has gotten the most publicity, it is only part of the committee's Phase Two study. Among other things, the panel also will compare prewar assessments on what would happen in postwar Iraq with what has occurred there, and it will examine how information provided by Iraqi defectors and exiles, including Ahmed Chalabi, were incorporated into intelligence analyses.

When I was in engineering school, I took several courses that dealt with sub-atomic particle theory. One of the things that was always fascinating to me was the concept of a "Bubble Chamber." Since you couldn't really "see" the particle's movement, another "view point" had to be utilized. That was the "Bubble Chamber." By shooting an accelerated particle into a "Bubble Chamber" you could see the patterns left by the particle and analyze those. Then, by using "interpolation" and "extrapolation" techniques you could successfully create a model of behavior and isolate the particle.
I find the same techniques useful in dealing with this PNAC NEOCON cabal "Shadow Government" that HG Wells, George Orwell, President Dwight D. Eisenhower, Albert Camus, Jean Paul Sartre, Aldous Huxley, Robert Anton Wilson and Abbie Hoffman warned us about. It is very difficult to catch them "in the act", but by analyzing their swath of Patriarchal fascist destruction and coruption through our Free and Just Peaceful Democratic Society, we can analyze their techniques and patterns. . . and it ain't "rocket science", let me tell you. These guys are NOT that smart, they are just "Power-FULL" and mean-spirited due largely from their upbringing in the dysfunctional households of the "rich and famous." (The "Poisonous Pedagogy" described by Marion Woodman, Robert Bly and Alice Miller)
As the old saying goes, "Follow the Money". Add to that "Follow the Alliances" and "Follow the Power Shifts" (from Alvin Toffler). Let the phrase, "CUI BONO?" (Who Benefits?) be your compass. It is up to US, the Middle Class Saturdaze Kidz, to insure that this so called "Wider-Scope Investigation" doesn't turn into another "Warren Report" or "9/11 Commission Report" of total bullshit designed to protect the guilty rather than expose them.
As all the blogging "Saturdaze Kidz" know, all the "Patriarchal Grown Ups" are insane and will say anything/do anything to WIN at all costs. We know that the corporately owned Main Stream Media cannot be trusted to tell the truth since the demise of the "Fair and Balanced" doctrines and the 7-7-7 Media Ownership were destroyed by the 1996 Telecommunications Act (go back and look to see who sponsored this legislation . .. recognize the players? CUI BONO?)
Here is a nice piece of multi-media that addresses several "Objective Truth" points that have all but disappeared from the "Official Subjective Truths" of these rich frat brats of the New World Order of the PNAC NEOCONS.
And always remember, kidz, "THE EMPEROR HAS NO CLOTHES!!!"
"I look for truth and find that I get damned
But what is truth? Is truth unchanging law?
We both have truths - are mine the same as yours?"

Pat Roberts is one of the biggest roadblocks to justice and democracy in this country since republican's evolved from pond scum. It'd be nice to see the democrats in both the congress and senate start to rip up the sleazbag republicans who did everything in their power to sidetrack or derail the queries of the few decent democrats who have always challenged the validity of the "god told me to do it" crowd in the white house.
hoping that the '06 election will be a major blood-letting, mostly those republican's who have been every bit as treasonous and seditious as their scummy leader by aiding and abetting the criminality of the war in iraq, it'd also be nice to see a whole lot of fresh new INDEPENDENT CANDIDATES actually replace the old burned out lapdog democrats who have been pandering and performing fellatio to their republican buddies across the aisle.
back on my point though, Pat Roberts needs to be investigated by the Independent Counsel just like the rest of the vermin in the white house, for his role in running cover for them this long.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 9/4/2014 (1170 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
More than 19,000 people across the province "stood for respect" Wednesday as part of the third annual Red Cross Day of Pink.
Presented by RBC Royal Bank, the Red Cross Day of Pink brings awareness of the impact of bullying and what people can do to create safe and respectful communities.
Across Manitoba, more than 365 schools and businesses hosted events that included film festivals, speakers' series, rallies and parades to inspire their community to take action against bullying.
For each official Red Cross Day of Pink T-shirt sold, the Red Cross can educate one community member to recognize and respond to bullying. This year, the Red Cross sold more than 19,000 official T-shirts.
"We have gone above and beyond what we expected to achieve with Red Cross Day of Pink," said Shawn Feely, provincial director for the Canadian Red Cross.
"Having so many people across the province choose to take a stand for respect demonstrates that bullying behaviour is no longer socially acceptable."
RBC regional vice-president Holly Toupin said this "extraordinary" movement "invites all of us to be a voice for change and have the conversation about bullying in our boardrooms, classrooms and living rooms."
The Canadian Red Cross is Canada's leader in bullying prevention education. Children, youth and adults are educated through the award-winning Red Cross Violence, Bullying and Abuse prevention program to be able to recognize, respond to and prevent bullying behaviour.
Red Cross Day of Pink is presented by RBC and supporting sponsors IMPACT Security, Special T, MTS and 680 CJOB/FreshFM. The Red Cross acknowledges the support of Safe Schools Manitoba.
