Dear Diary,
Methinks I'm turning into an old grouch. I wonder of it has something to do with age or the fact that I now have two kids and that I feel more mature and responsible for those two twerps. I'm having fun with my boy lately though. We wrestle a lot and he bites my ears a lot. My kid Kirei is acting a lot like a lady nowadays and prefers to sleep and act prim and proper, except when mom brings out the treats. That's when she exhibits all her unladylike characteristics.
Weird kid.
PS - We went to the groomers today and my boy is looking a lot like me as the days go by.
Dear Diary,
Mom took us to the groomers last Monday and the result is, I kinda look like a mix between Aga Muhlach in "Bagets" and John Travolta in "Grease". The groomers cut my facial hair in such a way that I had bangs cut triangularly. I'd have to sexily peer through them to look at anyone or anything for that matter. This oozing sex appeal is really getting difficult to manage. Whew!
Kirby is in heat again and we might be mated in a few weeks. Kids are coming soon again and I'm gonna be a dad again for the nth time. The family is getting bigger and bigger, I gotta keep track of my pups.
Hershey, my hunk of a son is getting bigger by the day. He's already almost half my size and he's only 3 months and 2 weeks old. The vet advised us to stop giving him vitamins anymore because his appetite is simply amazing. When he's not doing anything, you'll catch him at the eating corner. If there's no food in the tub, he'd bang it and look at mom as if she's starving him. Geez! It takes all of my energy to think of ways to get his mind off food. I drag him to the garden to play with me and Kirei. I'd catch him running back inside with a stone or a chunk of grass inside his mouth. However am I going to slim this pup down?
Dear Diary,
You better congratulate me people and doggies coz you're looking at a twice-over daddy! I am now and again, a proud father of five bouncing baby puppy boys (One died though...sniff) My new gal gave birth last October 23 :) Whatta great life :)
Niwei, I stink. My kid Kirei is in heat and she's spreading her period all over the house. Yuck!
Mom bought each of us costumes for halloween. I'm real excited to try them out. M going as a bee and Kirei's going as a purple butterfly. This is going to be a real fun halloween. I'm gonna have the time of my life barking the cute kiddies in scary costumes. I'm gonna frighten them away when they come to our house for trick or treat :)
Tell you more after the holidays :)

For eight rounds Rhiannon Cire of Montvale Elementary and Brandi Mitchell of Forest Middle School squared off against one another in last Thursday's Bedford County Spelling Bee.
Seventeen students from the county's middle and elementary schools had started in the contest, but by the seventh round it was down to those final two.
There weren't any real surprises, but the importance of Tuesday morning's sentencing hearing in Amherst County Circuit Court wasn't lost on anyone there.
Life in prison — plus three years.
Montvale honored a life-long resident, Monday, on her 100th birthday.
Virginia Noell was born on Jan. 25, 1911, and grew up on a 230-acre farm in Goose Creek Valley, a daughter of the late Royal and Hattie Boyd Garrett Noell.
"I loved it!" she said of her early years. "You could run, do anything you wanted and nobody would run over you with an automobile."

The Bedford County Sheriff's Office has arrested two men in connection with the larceny of items from a vehicle at Sheetz in Bedford County.
On January 1 at about 2:45 a.m. deputies responded to Sheetz at 14449 Forest Rd. in Bedford County. Upon arrival deputies learned that a gun and some other items had been stolen out of a vehicle in the parking lot while the owner was inside.
The Bedford Police Department has warrants for Detrick Cordell Price for felony domestic assault and preventing another from calling police.
He is also wanted in the city of Roanoke for trespassing. Price is 38 years of age and is 6' tall, 160 pounds with slender build. His last known address was Cook Street in the city of Bedford.

Keep your Sharp and Toews jerseys close, the Chicago Blackhawks just released their 2014-2015 schedule and the first preseason game is only three months away.
After an incredible season, the new schedule includes another January 1 appearance in the Winter Classic, and 41 chances to see the Hawks at the United Center. If you're hoping to make it to a game or two this season, here are five games you need to consider.
Tues., Sept. 23 vs. the Red Wings at the United Center
Yes, it's a preseason game, but for fans looking to get a taste of Blackhawks action without the heft ticket prices, preseason games are a good option.
Sat., Oct. 11 vs. Sabres at the United Center
This will be Chicago's first close look at the team during a game that matters. Expect the first home game of the year to be a loud one.
Wed., Dec. 3 vs Blues at the United Center
The Blues return to Chicago seven months after the Hawks destroyed their Stanley Cup hopes. Expect St. Louis to be out for blood.
Mon., Feb. 9 vs. Coyotes at the United Center
The Arizona Coyotes kick off the Blackhawks' longest home stretch for the season, eight games. Except for two games at the end of Feb., the Hawks will be on home ice for nearly a month.
Mon., March 30 vs. LA Kings at the United Center
The Kings return to Chicago for an end of the season match up that will hopefully prove that Chicago is aiming for their crown and the Stanley Cup.

I just published a new report to help marketers benchmark the mobile tactics and technologies their B2C marketer peers use and are planning to use in the next 12 months. The key findings are as below:
B2C marketers often focus too much on piloting the latest mobile shiny object (see graphic below); unfortunately, they fail to adequately invest in the core mobile touchpoints — like email or search — that most consumers use to engage with brands.
Too few marketers think of mobile as an opportunity to transform the brand experience. To truly differentiate themselves, marketers should develop mobile-unique interactions delivering visible value with apps, messaging, and online-to offline tactics.
To rethink how mobile could transform the customer journey, marketers should use ethnographic research and journey maps to develop a more holistic vision of their customer behaviors that leverage contextual data. Testing and learning will not be enough — the use of optimization techniques must be systematic.
Clients willing to know more can access the full report here.

At the beginning of the year, Forrester made the call that the future of mobile wallets lies beyond payments. By adding marketing value beyond payments — such as integration of loyalty rewards, coupons and many other services, wallets will become marketing platforms complementing merchants' own integrated apps.
Consumers want a better shopping experience, not better payment systems. By adding support for rewards programs (from the likes of Walgreens or Kohl's) and store-issued credit and debit cards, Apple will make this fall a first step in building a more integrated mobile wallet. The rebranding of Passbook to Wallet represents an explicit push by Apple toward a more comprehensive, consumer-friendly solution.
Less than a year after launching in the US, consumer adoption of Apple Pay is modest but encouraging, all the more Apple Pay has quickly become a trusted solution.
I believe adoption in the UK will be faster than in the US for a number of different reasons:

I remember the first time I attended 3GSM in Cannes: It was primarily a B2B telecoms trade show and centered on DVB-H, WiMAX, and other technology-centric acronyms. Fast-forward 11 years, and Mobile World Congress (MWC) will be the center of the business world for a couple of days (March 2 to 5). Some things don't change: We will continue to hear too much about technology. Simply ignore the hype, especially around 5G; it will have no impact at all on your marketing strategy for the next five years!
However, the list of keynote speakers is a good indication of what MWC has become: a priority event for leaders willing to transform their businesses. The CEOs of Facebook, Renault-Nissan, SAP, MasterCard, and BBVA will be speaking, and more than 4,500 CEOs will be among the 85,000 attendees (only 25% of which are from operators). It is fascinating to see how mobile has changed the world in the past 10 years — not just in the way that we live and communicate but also in terms of disrupting every business. I strongly believe that mobile will have a bigger impact than the PC or Web revolutions. Why?
First, mobile is the fastest and most ubiquitous technology ever to spread globally. People in Asia and Africa are skipping the PC Internet and going direct to mobile phones; they're the ultimate convergent device and often the only way to reach people in rural areas. As Andreessen Horowitz's Benedict Evans put it, mobile is "eating the world". It has already cannibalized several markets, such as cameras, video recorders, and GPS, and is now disrupting entire industries, changing the game for payments, health, and education, especially in emerging countries. Second, mobile is the bridge to the physical world. It is not just another "subdigital" channel. This alone has a huge impact on business models. Last, mobile is a catalyst for business transformation.

Apple Pay makes up more than $2 out of $3 spent on purchases using contactless payment across the three major US card networks. I agree with my colleague Sucharita Mulpuru that this is likely a big chunk of a small pie, considering the lower maturity of the mobile contactless ecosystem in the US. It's always better to look for absolute value. In this regard, PayPal processed $46 billion in mobile payment volume in 2014, up 68% over 2013.
Should marketers care about mobile wallets? Yes. Mobile wallets are not just about mobile payments. Consumers want a better shopping experience. Offering faster or more-secure payments is not enough; wallet providers will have to solve real pain points, such as giving consumers the ability to see what's on stored value cards at any moment in time, access loyalty points, or automatically receive digital copies of payment receipts. In particular, 57% of US online adult smartphone users are interested in having access to loyalty program points and rewards within a mobile wallet. Access to loyalty rewards from brands is the most wanted feature from consumers, and it's the one least integrated in mobile wallets today.

It's no secret that mobile digital wallet technology is faring better in the US than in the UK; here in Boston, I use my LevelUp app at more than half of the retailers I visit (the app tells me I've visited one vendor 122 times!). However, only a few providers — including PayPal InStore, V.me by Visa, and Paydiant — are serving UK consumers. (Will Amazon be next?)
To understand the popularity gap for mobile digital wallet technology between the US and the UK, Forrester leveraged its Technographics® 360 research approach to get a holistic view of consumers. By analyzing data from our European Technographics Retail Survey, 2013, UK ConsumerVoices Market Research Online Community, and UK Consumer Technographics Behavioral Study, November 2013 to March 2014, we evaluated desired features, strongest barriers, and current behavior associated with mobile digital wallet usage across UK consumers.
Our data shows that security is still a major concern among UK consumers, but the features they want in a mobile digital wallet are associated with an improved customer experience: These features make the purchase process more organized and convenient for customers, while also helping them save money along the way:

Every year for the past few years, I've been revisiting our mobile trends predictions. So let's do it again for the 2012 Mobile Trends post I put together a year ago with my colleague Julie Ask.
So many things happened in 2012 that it's difficult to sum up the year. We've passed three key milestones in 2012: more than 1 million apps available, more than 100 million tablets and more than 1 billion smartphones in consumers' pockets!
Let's take a look at some of the key trends we highlighted last year. We expected product strategists to work with other roles to:
· Develop a scalable approach to delivering mobile services. Most advanced organizations took a more strategic approach to building and spreading institutional knowledge as well as governance for the development of mobile services. However, the majority still do not coordinate their approach between marketing, IT, agencies, and vendors.
· Craft a mobile strategy that expands beyond phones. Only the most advanced players differentiated their tablet strategies. I know of a leading online retailer that is now generating 10% of its overall online sales via tablets because of the launch of an iPad app only eight months ago! However, most players still lump smartphones and tablets into the same "mobile" bucket without understanding the differences in the context of use.
Posted by Thomas Husson on the B2C Marketing Professionals Blog on April 26, 2012
A year ago, Forrester stated that mobile payments were entering a disruptive phase. More recently, my colleague Benjamin Ensor elaborated on the battle for the digital wallet.
Mobile digital wallets are emerging and going beyond payment. New technologies, mixing QR codes, apps, personal financial management software, NFC, and many more, are combining to convert mobile handsets into digital wallets that combine not just payments but also receipts, vouchers, and loyalty. Beyond the convenience of using the phone for payment, consumers will benefit from post-transaction elements such as location-based coupons or enhanced product information at the point of sale (POS).
We've not seen a single day without a new product launch, start-up creation, or acquisition — or a new strategic alliance between banks, payment networks, Internet firms, or mobile operators.
So what's new today? Telefonica 02 just announced the launch of O2 Wallet in the UK.
We believe that the O2 Wallet is, for now, the most comprehensive mobile payment solution in the UK – available to a majority of smartphone owners, whether they are O2 customers or not. The new product combines the following functions:

The "Access to Finance" Project (the Project) aims at collecting annual geographic and demographic data on access to basic consumer financial services worldwide. This is done through the identification and development of appropriate high quality data that are comparable across countries and over time collected by means of periodic surveys. The main envisaged users of these data are researchers and policy makers.
The Project's data collection effort, with initial financial support from the government of the Netherlands, complements the work done by the United Nations and the World Bank in the context of the UN Advisors Group on Inclusive Financial Sectors in which the IMF is represented. The Project's periodic surveys make use of the IMF's existing broad network of country correspondents for the IMF's flagship statistical publication—the International Financial Statistics (IFS).The collected annual key financial access indicators are publicly disseminated and support analytical work on:
The main data source for population, area, and GDP numbers used to calculate certain key indicators is the World Bank's World Development Indicators database.

Titans head coach Mike Munchak confirmed reports: second-year QB Jake Locker will start Friday's preseason game versus Tampa Bay.
Fantasy Analysis:
Veteran Matt Hasselbeck started the preseason opener versus the Seattle Seahawks and struggled quite a bit, going 5 of 9 with two interceptions (one was returned for a score). Locker was more impressive (7-13 for 80 yards, with no turnovers) and now gets a shot against a woeful Bucs defense, though the starting assignment does not mean he has the starting job, not yet anyway. Given his ability to make plays with his legs,Locker's upside is significantly higher than Hasselbeck's and he could prove to be a decent QB2. As a rookie he struggled with his accuracy at times, but even in limited action Locker's ability to create and extend plays was quite evident.Perhaps the Titans decide they want an experienced presence in the huddle for the opener, but it's looking more and more like it will take an injury or significantly poor play for Locker not to be Week 1 starter.

It was nice to be back in the constituency, but I don't miss it. Politics was over for me in 1997; I knew I'd never be part of another Conservative government and off I went. If the phone went one morning and someone said to me: 'We're forming a Conservative government and we'd like you to be the Deputy Prime Minister', I might be tempted. But I am a realist and pigs don't fly.
When I was no longer Deputy Prime Minister, I went back to my company and my garden. They are my lifelong passions and were always there, constant behind my public life. Tony Blair, of course, is continuing his march across the world stage.
A lovely evening with the Garden Society. I am one of 70 members of this private dining club, all men, who own some of the historic gardens of Britain. We meet once a quarter and Tuesday night was ladies' night - an excellent opportunity to invite some of the greatest living gardeners to join us, like Arabella Lennox-Boyd and Liz Banks. We met at the Savill Garden at Windsor.
On Thursday night, I gave a party for precisely 1,363 people. It was held to celebrate 50 years of my company, Haymarket Publishing, and started at 6.30pm with a jazz band. By the time I left, well after 10pm, they were on to karaoke. I didn't ask what time it finished - there are some things in life you're better not knowing. Everyone was enjoying themselves. I felt rather emotional and still remember when there were just three of us: me, my then-partner Clive Labovitch and a secretary, in Lower James Street in 1957. On Friday, all our current staff had the day off.
The party came at the end of a week of conferences. First, we had all the managers of our international businesses and then all the technical staff. These are tremendously exciting times for the industry, with the potential for almost exponential increase on the web. There are roughly 80 countries around the world all developing in broadly the same way and if you can excel in one territory, you can do so all over the place. But it all has to happen against a background of a forced migration away from print and the trick is to stay ahead of the game.
The events at Westminster in the last week demonstrate brilliantly the total dominance of Gordon Brown in the Labour party. It was the former Cabinet Secretary Andrew Turnbull who described his style as 'Stalinist ruthlessness' and it is extraordinary to watch. We have a weak government entirely dominated by a strong man. He has cowed the lot of them into submission and imposed the most centralised control on Whitehall that the country has ever seen.
He has talked a lot in the last couple of days about 'change'. Leopards don't change their spots and human beings don't change their characters. He had already established many of the necessary structures and what we are witnessing is simply Brown moving total control into Number 10.
Most Prime Ministers throughout history have wanted to do this and it's not difficult to see why. It is easier to govern; they could be in charge without worrying about consensus or debate. But Brown has achieved what none of his predecessors has managed.
There may be some different faces, but there is still no one in the cabinet who will stand up to him. The Prime Minister has more control than ever. I think the interesting question to ask at the moment is: where is trouble going to come from? Disenchantment is a political inevitability and it will come. Look to Charles Clarke and John Reid. While Brown has brought in all his outsiders, he has left these two very powerful, resentful backbenchers. The press will build them up.
I don't think Gordon Brown has much time. If he waits until too far through 2009, it will suddenly be 2010 and his back will be up against the wall: the end of his term. If he wants to call an election by choice, his last chance really is spring 2009. He is enjoying a slight bounce at the moment, but it will not last.
I think David Cameron is already setting the agenda to a commendable extent. Take the environment: he is forcing Brown to talk about it. In his first nine years, Brown mentioned it one or twice in all his speeches. In his most recent statement, he uses the word something like 12 times. Brown is weak on television, too, and being a strong performer is essential in today's world.
Huge areas of central London on Friday were dragged into chaos by the terrible bomb which never went off. I had made the mistake of bringing my dinner jacket to London after Garsington and when I set off for the country, I left it behind, so having just managed to get through the difficult zone, I had to turn around and do it all over again. I looked at the police as they ushered me through, having to stand there in the evening rain, and thought what a lot we owe to our public services at times like this.

Driskel Named Gators Starting QB Moving Forward
GAINESVILLE, Fla. - It was a long time coming, but the quarterback battle that began in the spring finally has a winner at the position.
Will Muschamp announced on Monday that Jeff Driskel will start for the Florida Gators heading into the game versus Texas A&M.
Muschamp pointed out Driskel's dual-threat ability to run and pass as a main factor in choosing the former Gatorade National Player of the Year over fellow sophomore Jacoby Brissett.
Ironically, Brissett is now in the same situation Driskel was in last season, when Driskel was benched in favor of the former Dwyer quarterback after the Auburn game.
Driskel reflected on the feeling he had in 2011, but never stopped believing he would one day win the starting job back.
Muschamp told Driskel not to worry about looking over his shoulder for a possible early hook, but did reiterate he needs to play well to keep the starting role.

Damn, everyone is dropping like flies. I know I've long since expired in this contest but couldn't help but stand on the sidelines and watch the massacre continue to unfold. LOL. I blame the many sadists of Metanorn for my corruption. I was so innocent before (not!)!

Share on ThriftyFunThis guide contains the following solutions. Have something to add? Please share your solution!
At the end of the year, you will have 12 legal envelopes the same size as your 12 bank statements. I bundle them with rubber bands. I begin a new check register each January 1, and stop with Dec. 31. I put the check register with the bundled envelopes.
At the end of the year I store them in plastic totes. On the envelope I will write whether there are important receipts for items which could possibly need to be exchanged like a new appliance.
I have done this for over 20 years.
By Jeanne from Elysian Fields, TX
I do the same thing, I have receipts from years past. My daughter laughs at me but if I need one a few months down the road I just go to that year and month and it's usually there.
AWESOME IDEA!! I have tried for so long to organize and this looks like the perfect solution for me. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you.
This is a brilliant idea. So easy and organized and I never thought of it. Thanks so much for such a simple, inexpensive solution!
I do something similar, but only for the last 2 years, and once long ago for some months.
I can't stress enough how useful this is on so many levels.
Bravo for your 20 years of self discipline. You can track any number of things, even coding type of purchases if you want.
Really keeps you honest with yourself when you are getting off track, but also supports you against self criticism if you can see you did the best possible with what you had during a given time.
I have also done this for years but a friend recently questioned why I hold on to paid bills and I honestly don't have a good answer. I really haven't had to dispute a bill in years.
I did this for several years, and ended up with too many accordion files of receipts to store efficiently. I'd be curious to know how the OP manages the accumulated bulk of all her receipts.
I keep as little paperwork/receipts as I can get away with. I do keep receipts for items that I think there could be a possibility I may need to return. When I pay utilities I keep that bill and shred the previous month. But the envelope idea for a month is a good idea that I will use. I think it will easier than dragging out the file and putting them in there. I don't think I've ever needed a utility bill that I've shredded. I don't even keep manuals for most things; I figure I can always see them online if I need too. Only once have I had to look up a manual online and that was for a sewing machine my daughter gave me. Even at that my computer is still disorganized with papers. I've even gone so far as to disconnect my printer because I have such a habit of printing "stuff" I think I may need later; and seldom ever do.
Reading the original idea blew my mind! As someone else said, I've been looking for something forever & I can't believe I never thot of this!!! Brillent!!! There were a couple other comments that brought up some good questions;& might have to think on them. But overall, FABULOUS!!!

Ever since Doom first appeared at the end of 1993, gamers had been longing for a first person shooter set in the Star Wars universe. They got their wish with the release in 1995 of Star Wars: Dark Forces. This introduced the character of Kyle Katarn, a former Imperial agent, who became a mercenary for hire in the service of the Rebel Alliance - hey, it happens. In the sequel, Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II, Kyle discovers that his father was killed by a Dark Jedi, and then finds his father's Lightsaber, which leads him on a path to discover his own latent abilities with the Force. Hmm, remind you of any one else we know?
Sub-Luke Skywalker plotting it may have been but the sequel is, next to Half-Life, the best single player first person shooter of the nineties. Not only was the story gripping, but it was propelled along by Full Motion Video (FMV) the last time that such a technique was used successfully in the game. The acting might have been hammier than your local butchers, but it was the first time new Lightsaber footage had been filmed since Return of the Jedi.
Enjoyable even for non hardcore Star Wars fans, Jedi Knight featured some stunning level design, with a great combination of puzzles and platform jumping. The sheer scale of the levels was enough to give you vertigo, and the level design was highly imaginative. One of the most memorable levels had you trying to get to the docking bay pod of a cargo vessel that was falling through the air, with corridors shifting from side to side, and debris flying at you - positively thrilling.
By far the most exciting aspect, and the one that had people queuing up to play, was that you finally got to fight with a Lightsaber - the coolest weapon of all time. This was the first time that 3D technology had advanced to the point where it was feasible to have an in-game Lightsaber, and the gameplay was enhanced by Kyle appearing in third person perspective when you wielded your laser sword. Taking down stormtroopers and hearing the slash and hum of the Lightsaber was the gaming moment that Star Wars had been waiting for.
Speaking of graphics, I can clearly remember the first time I launched the game on my PC. Set in a Mos Eisley style canteen, I was immediately drawn into the action and was enjoying blasting Gamorrean guards and the three-eyed Gran. But I suddenly realised that I'd been playing without even having 3D acceleration enabled. Turning this on, the game went from good to seriously cool, even though it looks primitive by today's standards.
Another ground-breaking feature was the use of Force Powers. These increased as you went along and before long you were hurling StormTroopers from super high ledges or sending forth cracking bolts of lightning from your fingers. To keep things interesting you could choose to follow either the light or the dark side, though in reality this made little difference to the storyline or gameplay. The audio was great too, If you snuck about, there were nice touches such as being able to eavesdrop on long and amusing conversations between Stormstoopers.
Pleasingly, an expansion pack for the game followed only a few months after the initial release, adding enhanced graphics and letting you play as classic Expanded Universe Star Wars character Mara Jade. The success of Jedi Knight ensured two more high quality sequels, each of which dropped the Dark Forces moniker and instead came under the Jedi Knight title, a clear indication of the effect of Jedi Knight. If there's one game I hope is announced in the future it's a straight Star Wars FPS based on the Unreal 3 engine or perhaps iDs next. All Lucasarts needs is a little inspiration to create a game that matches the design and storytelling ambition of the classic Jedi Knight.

When I first went to CLH, my whole world changed: for the better. Before I went there, I was a bit lost, confused, and alone. When I lefted, I was more self-confident and proud of myself than I was ever before! What amazed me the most was how many skills I learned at camp. From wind sailing to biking, and everything in between, I had fun and learned from. I also made a lot of great friends that will last a life-time! The conselours are like angels with a smile and a warm cookie. And speaking of cookies, forget all the stuff you heard about camp food- CLH's food is better than a 5 star restraunt! Overall, CLH is a great camp. It really made me feel at home, and I can't wait to go back next year!

Santiago and Morales Sizzle!
By Chris Morris / rockymountainboxing.com
In the very best fight in recent memory, super featherweights Juan Santiago (7-1-1, 5 KOs) and Jose Morales (5-1, 1 KO) staged an all out war that far exceeded the expectations on Saturday night at Red & Jerrys in Denver, Colorado. The two warriors landed an incredible amount of power shots and it soon turned into 'any punch you land, I can land one harder' and they one-upped each other for every minute of every round. In the end there were no losers as fans went back and forth in a frenzy of cheering on both fighters with chants of 'Juan-Juan-Juan' and 'Mex-ico-Mex-ico, Jose-Jose' supercharging the atmosphere. Santiago earns a unanimous decision and the State 130lb title while handing Morales the first loss of his career, which should carry no shame. Scores were 38-37 on all three judges cards.
Undercard action was well matched as well with female bantamweight Brittany Cruz winning a razor thin decision over Claudia Guiterrez, 38-37 across the board with a flash knockdown in the second round of the four rounder proving to be the difference.
Light heavyweight Anthony Wehr remained undefeated and looked much improved with new trainer, Rick Lopez, as he out-pointed tough Tim Kane in a four rounder.
Marcos Herrera remained undefeated as he very narrowly beat veteran Corey Alaracon by split decision. The eight-month layoff for Herrera was very evident in his return to the ring.
In the opener, Alejandro Castillo chopped down Jacob Featherman with an impressive arsenal of combinations including triple left hooks, he surely learned from his trainer since day one, Colorado's own Donald Camarena. Castillo has all the tools and as they continue to be tuned he will quickly become a fighter making noise on the national level. The end came at 2:03 of the first round.

Quick GuideBladder Cancer Symptoms, Stages, Treatments
What is the treatment for superficial bladder cancer?
Superficial bladder cancer is a cancer which has not invaded the muscle wall of the bladder and is confined to the inner lining of the bladder. The T stage is Ta, T1, or Tis (also known as carcinoma in situ or "CIS"). After the initial TURBT or biopsy in case of CIS, the subsequent treatment in these cases may involve observation with regular follow-up with cystoscopy examinations of the bladder, instillation of medications in the bladder, or in certain cases, surgical removal of the bladder (radical cystectomy).
Small low-grade, superficial bladder cancers may not require aggressive management after the initial TURBT and may be simply followed up by doing repeated cystoscopy examinations at regular intervals (usually every three months for the initial two years and then at increasing intervals). Recurrent tumors may be surgically removed or fulgurated (burnt out) with special instruments passed through the cystoscope. It is very important to note that 30%-40% of these tumors tend to recur and these recurrences may not be associated with any symptoms. Hence, it is imperative to stick to a regular follow-up protocol to ensure that the disease does not go out of control. It has also been shown that a single dose of a chemotherapy medication (for example, mitomycin C [Mutamycin]) put inside the bladder immediately after a TURBT can decrease the chances of recurrence within the first two years after surgery.
High-grade, larger, multiple, or recurrent superficial bladder cancers may require additional treatment after the initial TURBT. One of the most effective and widely used medications is called the Bacille Calmette Guerin, commonly referred to as BCG. It is a modified form of a bacterium that causes tuberculosis in cattle (Mycobacterium bovis). It is instilled into the bladder in the form of a solution using a catheter placed in the urinary passage. It acts by stimulating the immune system of the body to act against the cancerous bladder cells and prevent their growth and development. It has been shown to decrease the chances of recurrence of bladder cancer as well as its invasion into the muscle layer of the bladder. However, it is only partially effective in achieving these objectives, and its use does not obviate the need for a regular follow-up. It is usually administered in six initial doses at weekly intervals followed by a "maintenance" schedule of 3 weekly doses repeated every 3 months that is usually recommended for at least one year but may be needed for as long as three years.
Patients who do not respond to BCG treatment, have recurrent bladder cancer in spite of treatment, or those who have medical issues which preclude the use of BCG may require other forms of treatment. These include bladder instillation of immunotherapy agents such as interferon or chemotherapy medicines like valrubicin (Valstar), mitomycin C, epirubicin (Ellence), or doxorubicin (Adriamycin). In general, these medications are not as effective as BCG and help only a small minority of patients who have not responded to BCG.
In patients who have an aggressive form of high-grade superficial bladder cancer and those who have not responded or who have recurrent bladder cancer in spite of treatments mentioned above, a more aggressive form of treatment may be warranted. This is usually in the form of a major surgical procedure called radical cystectomy. It entails removal of the bladder and the prostate and diverting the urinary stream using parts of the intestine. This surgery will be described in the subsequent section on treatment of invasive bladder cancer.

Air University Review, July-August 1982
Lieutenant Colonel William R. Liggett
Between 1978 and 1981, leadership in the United Stated was awakened to the need for a strategy and capability for protecting U.S. vital interests in the Third World. The objective area for protection are regions of the world where interests vital to the Untied States and her allies have been placed at peril. The source of this peril has been the growth of Soviet power-projection capability. Irrefutable examples of this evolution of Soviet doctrine and policy are evident in their "willingness . . .to exercise military power indirectly through both the application of military assistance and the use of Cuban and other surrogates in parts of Latin America and Africa and even directly in the December 1979 invasion and continuing occupation are ". . . the first offensive combat use of soviet military forces outside the borders of the Warsaw pact since World War II."1
The instrument of this U.S. strategy for the protection of vital interests is the Rapid Deployment Joint Task Force (RDJTF), which is an organizational structure for the command of armed forces drawn from conventional units of all the services. The exact makeup of the rapid deployment forces (RDF) will be based on the nature of the conflict. "While the potential missions of the rapid deployment forces are global, in practice most of the planning and programming had focused on Southwest Asia."2
Speaking of the RDF task, Major General Larry D. Welch,* then Deputy Chief of Staff for Operations, Tactical Air Command, cited four problems that almost axiomatically will be central to countering Soviet intervention:
*Major General Welch is now commander of Ninth Air Force (TAC) and thereby the commander of the air component of the RDJTF.
In keeping with General Welchs criteria, the vulnerability of oil resources in Southwest Asia has been labeled a vital national interest by the Carter administration and confirmed in the same status by President Reagan.4 A strategy for securing such a vital interest, an RDF strategy, must encompass the principles of deterrence, force projection, and war fighting.
The United States has been in the business of deploying forces around the globe for many years.5 But such an endeavor in the 1980s has been complicated by the criticality of resource supplies and turbulence in the Third World. Also contributing to the problem are the nearly unbridled Soviet policies wrought by nuclear parity and unprecedented conventional force buildups, coupled to the geographical proximity advantage and new projection capability available to the Soviets.
Deterrence, force projection, and war fighting are the components of the strategy to defend U.S. vital interests in the Third World. Deterrence relates basically to the credibility or believability that a force could and would be used effectively. The visibility of a force is also a plus in deterrence: A force that can demonstrate presence has increased credibility.
The problems of force projection are responsiveness, logistics, and basing. Quick reaction could be vital to prevent interveners from gaining tactical or strategic advantage. Untimely U.S. response might cause a need for greater forces later on or result in escalation to general war.6 The Soviets are not going to give us notice of when and where they are going to move. Unfortunately, our intelligence and the willingness to react on our intelligence have cloudy records. Logistically, if the theater is Southwest Asia, then our line of communications (LOG) is about 8000 miles by air and 12,000 miles around the African continent. United States access to en route ports and bases has become more and more restricted.7 Logistical supply will be difficult and vital due to the high intensity of war in open country. And, as General Welch pointed out, the in-theater bases and infrastructure for supporting combat operations or even drinking water requirements are severely lacking.
War fighting is broken down into the ability to bring effective firepower to bear on the enemy, sustain that firepower, and maintain reasonable attrition rates.
Given these elements of the required strategy deterrence, force projection, and war fighting it falls to the planner to propose requisite forces. "Conventional forces" solutions to the strategy for projecting U.S. military force in the counterintervention role employ Army, Navy, Marine, and tactical air force (TAF) elements. It is not within the scope of this article to discuss these elements. However, by definition, the RDF is made up of forces from all the armed services; by design they complement and support one another. I will focus on generic long-range combat aircraft (LRCA) and how they should play a prominent role in the counterintervention mission of the RDF.
For an aircraft to qualify as an LRCA in the generic sense, it "must be able to fly long distances, to carry large, diversified weapons loads, to provide self-contained capability for target acquisition and weapons delivery, to defend itself reasonably well against sophisticated air defenses and, most importantly, to provide on-scene, human judgment throughout the mission."8 The B-52 is an LRCA, albeit 18 to 25 years old. Congress issued a mandate for definition of a new "multipurpose bomber" in August 1980 that may well be the next LRCA.9 The B-l, canceled by President Carter in 1977 but nevertheless funded for research and development every year since, is an LRCA design. President Reagan in 1981 specified the development of a B-l variant, the B-1B, and called for the first squadron to be operational in 1986. Congress is acting on the administrations B-1B proposal at this printing.
Also, in 1980, the Strategic Air Command (SAC) developed and exercised a Strategic Projection Force (SPF) that would support the RDF with a package of intelligence, reconnaissance, command, control, and communications and, most important, a B-52H LRCA force for the RDF mission.10 In November 1981 six B52Hs flew 30-hour conventional bombing missions in support of the Bright Star 82 exercise in Egypt, taking off from and returning to their home bases in North Dakota. Each bomber released 27 conventional 500-pound bombs on the 15,000-mile nonstop, round trip flight and was supported by several inflight refuelings.11
"That two presidentsJimmy Garter and Ronald Reaganhave reassigned some of the B-52s formerly reserved for. . . nuclear strikes to protecting Persian Gulf oil dramatizes how priorities have changed as the world scramble for resources heats up."12 Also, this reassignment shows a growing realization of how an LRCA force is uniquely suited to the counter-intervention role.
Deterrence, according to AFM 1-1, Functions and Basic Doctrine of the United States Air Force, "stems from the perception by other nations of our capability, intent, and will. Therefore, we can deter conflict only if a potential adversary perceives that, of all the conceivable options, armed conflict is unacceptable because of our military potential and our will to use it."13 Deterrence of Soviet actions in areas peripheral to the Soviet Union or elsewhere in the Third World is far different from strategic nuclear deterrence. Where the latter is served by equivalent nuclear forces, intervention is deterred by a combination of strategic nuclear, theater nuclear, and conventional forces.14 LRCA is unique because it serves across this entire spectrum. However, given current trends in nuclear symmetry, it is at the conventional level that LRCA can dramatically improve U.S. capability.
Neither political leverage or effective deterrence can be gained from military power that is too destructive to be suitable for a contingency that requires neatly limited application, or from military forces that are too far away to make a timely response.15
Deterrence is further served because the lethal payload of the LRCA and the presence of "a man in the loop [provides] the unique advantage of the [LRCA] over other systems. . . escalation control and keeping the nuclear threshold high."16 General Ellis, until 1981 the Commander in Chief of Strategic Air Command, was quoted by the Washington Post to this effect:
The last thing we want to do . . . is to be the one who has to initiate nuclear weapons to salvage a force. With airpower you dont set yourself on a beachhead immediately and get yourself in a position where you may have to use nuclear weapons. . . sending [LRCA] rather than troops to the Gulf would widen the firebreak between conventional and nuclear war.17
An LRCA is highly visible and mobile; it is an established symbol of national resolve. Due to its long range and flexibility, even continental United States (CONUS) basing allows employment of the LRCA anywhere in the world.18 General Ellis said: ". . . sending [LRCA] to the trouble spot in the first hours of a crisis might be enough to freeze the Soviet military. Bombs might not have to be dropped at all, as long as will and ability to do so were demonstrated. . . ." 19
The LRCA particularly contributes to the "intent" factor of deterrence. It is a saber that is feasibly rattled, the prime example of this was our response to the Cuban missile crisis.20 The deployment of LRCA to forward bases or merely the placing on alert of CONUS-based LRCA with conventional weapons would be highly visible and therefore credible ways of saying clearly that there are significant risks and penalties incumbent to an intervention by the Soviets and that the United States is prepared to respond with appropriate levels of force. General Ellis has described this feature of alert posturing and deployment as giving "decision-makers an option to apply force in the signal giving mode." It lets the Soviets know that they are "getting into one of our vital interests "21
Force Projection. The three legs of force projection are responsiveness, logistics supportability, and basing. The Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) listed two considerations relative to force projection:
. . . US airlift and sealift capabilities are insufficient for the rapid deployment of large forces to remote areas. This is a critical deficiency, for meeting and deterring threats require an ability to embrace forces before a crisis escalates into conflict. . . . US access to a number of regions around the world has become increasingly uncertain. A diminished overseas basing structure, fewer overflight and staging rights, and reduced opportunities for pre-positioning war materials make the deployment and support of combat forces at great distances more difficult than it was.22
The long range of the LRCA contributes to all three legs of force projection and concurrently assuages the JCS considerations discussed earlier. Because it can go to combat from CONUS bases or deploy to support bases well away from the theater, the LRCA can be responsive, supportable, and based with ease.
Regional basing arrangements for strategic bomber forces are ongoing. At the present time, bombs and fuel for possible contingency operations are stockpiled in Europe and Guam.23 An agreement with the Australian government has made the Royal Australian Air Force Base at Darwin available for B-52 staging.24
General Ellis summed up advantages of LRCA for force projection in a discussion of the B-52:
[Its] long unrefueled range. . . allows the B-52 to effectively operate farther from the hostile fighter threat area. Because it can be based outside of the immediate battle area, it will not compete for limited airfield and basing facilities with shorter-range aircraft or other US and allied forces. In addition the B-52 will not tax already heavily committed . . . air refueling resources.25
War Fighting. The components of war fighting are effective firepower, sustainability, and the maintenance of reasonable attrition rates (combat survivability). The firepower of an LRCA is enormous. In Southeast Asia, the B52D routinely dropped bomb loads of 108 general-purpose bombs and had a maximum payload capability of 60,000 pounds. The LRCA proposed by President Reagan as the near-term multipurpose bomber (B-1B) could carry 84 bombs internally. The maximum payload could be more than 100,000 pounds.26 "No other [current] weapon system can match the B-52 in delivering concentrated conventional firepower. In the opening hours of hostilities, B-52s can quickly and effectively assist in disrupting enemy actions."27 An LRCA force might be the only force the United States can project in the opening hours of an invasion "to blunt the massive armored spearhead attack, which is a key element of Soviet theater war-fighting doctrine."28 Two LRCA forces could be employed, one from CONUS basing for opening strikes, while another is deploying to regional prepositioned material bases that are peripheral to the intervention theater. Southeast Asia proved the LRCA (B-52) capable of sustained, round-the-clock attack.
Concerning attrition, the LRCA can expect a difficult but negotiable threat environment. Though Soviet ground mobile antiair systems and defensive aircraft are formidable, the combat arena should not resemble the more heavily defended areas of the Soviet Union. The LRCA, by definition, is night and all-weather capable. These are envelopes to be exploited because of attendant reduction in enemy defense capability and the need to deprive the enemy of sanctuary in these conditions. When tactical air force (TAF) elements join the theater, their predominantly visual capability will blend well with LRCA night capabilities.29 Also, the TAF, using the defense suppression capabilities developed since the Israeli 1973 experience along the Suez, can further enable the LRCA attack.
SAC considers the B-52 viable in the counter-intervention role:
The defense system of the B-52H and its ability to move into a hostile environment at an altitude of less than 500 feet are expected to effectively protect the bombers from air defenses known to exist in the Middle East and Southwest Asia regions.30
Further, vulnerability is reduced by the 2500-mile plus unrefueled combat radius of the B-52H or future LRCA which allows for secure basing well away from enemy offensive counterair.31
Summarizing the war-fighting aspect, the aim of an LRCA projection force is to be able to put debilitating firepower on the field forces and supporting elements of an intervening power "with lightning speed, perhaps as a precursor to the operations of the Rapid Deployment Force" and later in support of RDF ground elements.32
Since the l960s, when U.S. strategy changed from massive retaliation to flexible response, military forces have been faced with a mismatch between the strategy consonant to national security policy and available forces. This asymmetry has been exacerbated by false economies, post-Vietnam retrenchments, and the severe requirements endemic to Southwest Asia. The credible strategy required by the United States, due to weight of world position and vital interests, must be supported by substantial improvements and sustained procurement.33 While the Strategic Projection Force is ready to go today, force modernization is important to stay relevant to the threat. The new LRCA (B-1B) projected for the 1986-87 time frame should be procured.
In addition to airframe procurement, the development and application of enhanced-lethality munitions are of primary importance for employment of LRCA in support of RDF. Lethality combines destructiveness with accuracy and is the ultimate arbiter of weapon-system effectiveness. The LRCA assigned to the RDF today are armed with general-purpose bombs that have evolved only slightly since World War II. The accuracy and destructiveness of general-purpose bombs on a B-52H do not meet the requisite lethality criteria, particularly when cost-exchange and cost-to-deliver ratios are factored.
Rather than the past practice of delivering massive munitions loads from many LRCAs on a few targets, the LRCA of the near-future should dispense many lethal weapons on many targets with requisite accuracy.
The concepts of standoff delivery systems and common dispensers of terminally guided submunitions, with both high-altitude/high-speed vertical attack systems and slower-speed/low-altitude, medium-to-long-range cruise missile systems, have great potential and should be exploited.
It is critical that enhanced-lethality munitions especially for airfield denial, the destruction of massed armor, and the neutralization of point targets like command posts, bridges, and bunkers be developed and established in the tactical doctrine of LRCA that support the RDF.
Beyond the 1980s, a prognosis of the threat, the availability of stealth and other technologies, and the age of the B-52 force will demand further LRCA force procurement. An advanced technology bomber (ATB) should be forecast for LRCA roles in the l990s.
A strong case can be made for the development of a nonnuclear LRCA in the 1990s. Since World War II, we have built bomber aircraft optimized for the strategic nuclear bomber role: The B-47, B-52, B-58, B-70, and B-1 are examples of this design. Yet in Korea and Vietnam strategic bomber aircraft were used in the conventional role. Current wisdom says that in this era and the foreseeable future nonnuclear firepower will remain the type most likely used.34 The Soviet Unions growing conventional power-projection capabilities and the emerging military strength of Third World nations are strong indicators that conflicts are likely to remain beneath the nuclear threshold.
There are four main problems with the employment of strategic nuclear aircraft in the conventional role. First, they are not optimized for the conventional role. This has led in the past to inefficiency and untimely modification.
Second, there are political difficulties with staging, basing, and employment of aircraft identified as nuclear capable because of the stigma surrounding their nuclear association.
Third, diversion of such aircraft detracts from the single integrated operational plan (SIOP), the U.S. strategic nuclear strike plan. The SIOP is the primary operating sphere and contribution to deterrence of strategic nuclear aircraft.
The fourth problem is related to the third but brings the Strategic Arms Limitation Talks (SALT) consideration into the equation. Since strategic nuclear delivery vehicles have been accountable in SALT totals, the fact that the United States and the Soviets have agreed to the basic principle of ". . . significant and substantial reductions in the numbers of strategic offensive arms. . . ." could raise a difficult dilemma.35 This dilemma would come about as SALT totals, including the number of LRCA, are reduced. In this situation, a diversion from the SIOP-dedicated force for application in conventional RDF support would become ever more critical and therefore more reluctantly pursued. Such a diminishment would endanger SIOP effectiveness; and because of their criticality to SIOP, the credibility of U.S. willingness to use LRCA in support of RDF would also be in peril.
These four problems have in the past constrained the use and effectiveness of LRCA in a conventional role. That these problems will hinder LRCA in support of RDF is axiomatic. Conversely, a nonnuclear LRCA would eliminate the four problems that accompany reliance on nuclear LRCA for RDF conventional support. Whether solely nonnuclear or dual capable, strategic prudence mandates continued development of LRCA that can fully support the RDF strategy.
The foremost strategy and employment problem in the U.S. defense establishment is the RDF. Secretary of Defense Caspar W. Weinberger was quoted in U.S. News and World Report:
. . . we certainly may find ourselves in a situation in the years ahead where the Soviet Union is an energy-importing nation and where we must resist any aggressive move toward the gulf as quickly and as forcefully as we can. In order to do that effectively, America must have the ability to project force rapidly into that area and to sustain and reinforce it.36
The United States needs a credible force to deter (and, if necessary, counter) intervention by the Soviets or their surrogates. Vital interests of the United States have been declared to be endangered in Southwest Asia; and though undeclared, vital interests are no less endangered in Africa.
A variety of methods has been proposed by political, service, and weapon systems advocates, and all come up short against the requirements of the precarious theaters involved. Lieutenant General Kelly H. Burke, Air Force Deputy Chief of Staff, Research, Development and Acquisition, summed up the case for long-range combat aircraft:
. . . in a time when our interests are increasingly intertwined with the rest of the world . . . LRCA would provide the quickest and, in some cases, the only means to mount a rapid show of force or, if required, to bring that force to bear against any targetanywherewithin 24 hours and return to fight again.37

Virginia's 495 Express Lanes Unveil News Ops Center
The operators of Virginia's I-495 Express Lanes unveiled the highway's incident command center on Wednesday where traffic monitors will watch the flow of vehicles on a widescreen monitor displaying a dozen camera angles. The new lanes are expected to open by the end of fall.
The center will operate 24/7 with staffers monitoring traffic volume in order to compute toll rates. The new roadway – connecting the Dulles Toll Road to the I-395/I-95/Springfield interchange 14 miles to the south – will charge drivers dynamic tolls, meaning the price will change depending on traffic volume. The more traffic, the higher the toll.
The express lanes' private sector operator, Transurban, is required to keep traffic moving at least 45 m.p.h., so if traffic slows due to heavy volume tolls, will be significantly increased to deter further drivers. Transurban invested $1.5 billion into the lanes as part of a public-private partnership with Virginia, and will receive toll revenues for the next 75 years.
"Three times per mile we will have detector stations that will give our control center here information regarding what is the volume of traffic and what is the speed of traffic," said Transurban operations manager Rob Kerns. "Our dynamic pricing is scheduled to update every fifteen minutes."
Transurban has not released precise toll rates because of the dynamic nature of the pricing system. Moreover, once the highway opens, staffers will need some time to determine what rates work best.
"The tolls are set minute to minute based on what's actually happening out there. We won't know until the road opens how drivers are reacting to different toll prices," said Jennifer Aument, a project spokeswoman.
The average toll will be between $3 and $6 during busy periods, said Aument, who said the Express Lanes are designed for use a couple times a week when drivers need a dependable ride. The new lanes will run parallel to 495's regular travel lanes that are often clogged bumper-to-bumper.
Aument is encouraging drivers to familiarize themselves with the coming changes to the Beltway at 495ExpressLanes.com and to sign up for an E-ZPass as soon as possible. Only E-ZPass will be accepted in the new lanes, with HOV-3, buses, and motorcycles riding free. However, carpoolers will still need to obtain an E-ZPass Flex transponder.

Ask Mac Questions and Get Answers from Experts ASAP
Hello and thank you for asking your question, with JustAnswer.com/Mac. I am Sr. Mac Tech Support Specialist, Terry, glad to assist you.
Hi ~ I'm Janet. Not even sure what to ask!
What type of wireless modem (brand and model) did you order for your wireless network?
Its ok Jane:)
I will help you here
Don't know, it will be rented from Cable One.
Ok so that wireless modem is going to be your way to connect to the Internet from Cable One- is this correct?
Yes, and phone. I am ultimately hoping my Wii, and therefore Netflix, will work on wireless.
They will
do you have more than just the iMac in your soon-to-be home wireless network Jane, or is it just the iMac?
just the iMac ~ if you don't mean printer
Actually it is good to know you have a printer as well
is the printer going to be hooked up regularly to your iMac?
I am asking, because if that is the case, you should be good to go
As long as you have an wireless card built into your iMac
and I know you do
it is called the Airport Extreme Wireless card
and it will allow your imac to communicate with your new Cable One wireless modem
so you can connect with your imac wirelessly to your new network
Oh, I have an external hard drive also. Let me look for the wireless card
to check for the wireless card in your Mac, Jane,
just click on the black Apple menu icon in the upper left corner of your screen and select About this Mac
then select the More Info button
that will take you into what we call "System Profiler"
which allows you to view all devices and connections on your iMac
including the wireless card
Well, can't seem to find that ~ is it under Ethernet?
try there
I cannot see from my PC computer here, but you can be my eyes
OK, I see it. So I should be good to go? I know the cable installer will not touch my computer and I don't know what settings might be necessary, if any?
Once the new wireless modem is connected in your home network and goes live
your AirPort card in your Mac should be able to discover that new modem
and allow you to connect to the Internet
your cable installer person should be able to make sure that happens before he leaves
if not
I want you to bookmark this web page
in your web browser
so if you need ME to help you set that up with the new modem
I will be glad to do that for you
but this should be an easy connection, once the wireless modem is connected
because then, like I was explaining, the iMac should find the wireless modem connection
and connect you to the Internet-
I will just be an "insurance" for you
to make sure that does happen Jane!
Thank you! I understand now what will happen and you are bookmarked just in case. Think we are done for now ~ thank you!
If you are satisfied that I have resolved your question to your satisfaction, please feel free to rate my service. We always like to know how our customers feel about our services, in an effort to continue improving our already high standards of good answers and customer service.
Finally, I thank you very much for allowing me to assist you.
Keep in mind also, when you Accept an answer, it does not mean the session is over, especially if the issue you received support from me, re-occurs once again.
Otherwise, if all is well , then there is no need to return. Should you desire to err on the side of caution, however, you are always welcome to bookmark this session so you can come back to this session and alert me.

- New Member Intros (http://www.wrxtuners.com/forums/f120/)
- - Hello everyone.... (http://www.wrxtuners.com/forums/f120/hello-everyone-16654/)
Hello everyone....
I have recently acquired an older Subaru- a 1992 Legacy wagon. It was sitting in an apartment complex parking lot unused. I picked it up for $160. It's a very solid car especially for salty NY state. It had 93K on it and ran perfect. It's my daily driver while I put my wife through college. I am a store manager for a local tire company Dunn Tire. I hope to get a WRX or STi in the future because I LOVE AWD.
congrads on the purchase and welcome.
Welcome to the site, just remember older subies are just as cool.

Sturtevant's growth and product expansion led to the move out of crowded Old Boston to an industrial center forming in the newly annexed borough of Jamaica Plain. Blowers, fans, heating systems and steam engines were produced in the buildings nestled along the Boston & Providence Railroad near JP station.
There stay would be brief, lasting only 27 years. The fire disaster, typical of this period, that hastened their arrival would revisit in 1901 prompting an early departure in 1903 to Hyde Park a few miles south.
The factory didn't remain idle post-fan manufacturing. Still owned by Sturtevant, a section was leased to Nappier Auto from 1904-1907 to assemble this British model for the US market. The onset of WW1 brought a more creative re-use.
In the summer of 1915, the Sturtevant Aeroplane Co. was organized by the owner's son and located on 20k sq.ft. consisting of wing assembly, covering and final assembly. Under the guidance of famed early aeronautical pioneer Grover Loening three historically notable but ultimately failed designs were built. In 1917, America's entry in the war caused employment to explode to nearly 1000 as the company abandoned their early efforts and became one of several around the country churning out spare aircraft parts for the war effort.
