One of the guys who owns a collision revision i think on 59 drives a new red rx7 he said was one of the first rx7s in the states came to look at my crx to buy it like 4 years ago. He offered 2-300 less than I was asking and I wouldn't budge and he ended up not buying the car lol

I actually grew up not to far from there. 172nd & Pulaski. I've never had a car get keyed before, or keyed anyone's for that matter. So this is a new experience for me. Would absolutely like to find the little puss responsible for this. Tomorrow I got to talk to the security and see why I haven't got my report yet. Then hit these paint shops for estimates.
Thanks for the referrals.

FINALLY got my mother's 280zx started and running!!!!
Hood's to the left, windshields to the right, looking down the nose.
Bit of language, but she runs smoothly! Sorry bout it being so dark, too, was taken at 11p, after farting around with the spark plugs, fuel filter and pump, and rigging up a 2 gallon gas can to draw and return the fuel. Cleaning out the gas tank with vinegar and baking soda, just finishing up day 2. Tomorrow, it's all about the baking soda volcano!
Joe those boots look like they got used maybe once and set on a shelf! Nice find.
You get that bike going yet?

Nope. havent touched it in a few weeks. gunna try to soon. have a friend who is gunna come look when he gets a chance. think im gunna check the valves one more time. and try to bench sync the carbs for a better baseline. new plugs, and get the battery tested as i think its shot. hopefully after that i can get the damn thing running. all this nice weather all i wanna do is ride. And yes i dont think the boot were ever used they still have stickers on the bottom. the gloves show min wear on the right hand palm but i got a good deal. the boots are a tad large but i think some thicker socks and ill be ok.

im not impressed with the tiguans
she doesn't know it but what we really need is a good truck that gets good gas mileage.
Because one of our biggest stipulations is getting through the snow in the winter, i don't have anything anymore that is winter able.
plus a truck will be able to pull a car trailer or a boat or some jet ski's or a camper etc...

Not to add, you could probably tow small stuff (most everything you already have) with thing..i wouldn't think it would have a problem with a small(ish) boat either.
i also agree, nothing about that vehicle really impresses me..the interior and wheels are kinda bland..just not much "fun" or "cool" about it other than 4 motion and 2.0T...

drove one around today, pretty peppy, felt weak tho.
it had the whole pano roof, half of it slid back, that was really cool, even the sun shade was powered.
its too much of a girls car tho, im a treg guy lol and im still trying to find a good deal on one but the gas will kill us.
we need to be making more money because this vehicle will be meagans but both of us are paying for it. I have a hard time thinking about being broke for something im not using all the time or most of the time, if she had the money to pay for it herself then ya id let her buy it in a second. is that how this should work? lol
I need to sell my entire collection and start over, with her an SUV and me a big truck.
Were also planning on getting a dog soon, a doberman, so we need room to take it and its kennel on our 300mile trip to southern illinois when we go down there all the time.

I think its different if she had to cart around your kids or something...but ya. you get my point.
- Jon
were not married yet, i just havn't bought a ring yet lol, but its pretty much inevitable. we act like we are, everybody thinks we are. Well prolly be working on a kid within the next year or so too.

Hex-Can+USB Vag-com
Jason if you buy from orland let me know. we know a guy who used to be in sales and now i believe is the sales/finance manager his name is Sebastian if you find him tell him you are friends of Joe and Aja. Between the family cars and a family member that works for Portillos we got them a ton of sales probably over 20 cars so they know us well and don't mess around when we come in.
Personal recommendation is that the tig is too small it hardly has more room than our mkv jetta which is besides cost is why we ruled it out. Also i have a friend who has an 04 teg v6. personally it eats gas and is a mess. its a huge vehicle and imo really unneeded for most. i could see one with a v10 or something if you really need to tow something heavy. When we went to Orlando we got to rent a 2012 Ford Edge (note that till recently i have given up on anything american) This thing was great. Rode great smooth like a car but with plenty of power had a 6 speed auto and a 3.7 with 285hp im sure it would tow most things. it had enough room with the rear seats down that aja and i took a nap on the floor. put a couple hundred miles on it and it averaged 23mpg on 87 octane. and i was on the highway doing about 80 the whole time beating the hell out of it. so i would imagine higher mpg would be obtainable. we had the SEL model wasnt even the top of the line. Check one out i know new they arent cheap but a used model might be affordable i would recomend the 2nd gen with the new facelift. our was only 2wd but they come in awd and with a 3.9 motor but mpg goes to **** so ive read.
I havent driven much else that would compare to it. my dads new body style Santa Fe isnt horrible but i can say the edge would blow it out of the water.

nice. for some reason the edge's don't do it for me, the design is too plain plus the new ones msrp starts at 27,525
I just noticed the new 2013 escapes are totally redesigned and start at 22k, they look very interesting.
I REALLY like the new ford explorers, but they start at 28k same price as the TDI passat and just go up from there.
I really like the new Fiesta's and the Focus' I could get like TWO of them LOL, i don't like the fusion, and the taurus cost too much.
don't like the chevy sonic, the cruze, or the malibu, the equinox sucks, everything else is just wayy to expensive.
not even gonna look at dodge
honda sucks
she was looking at the santa fe's, theyre not bad really you get a lot for your money with hyundai, im a big fan of the hyundai sonatas
bottom line forester isn't bad, 20-23k
Originally Posted by Adler v. Relynet

The focus was in my sights for a while but the fusion was getting better reviews, the fiesta was just lacking the power. Chevy has nothing for me. Mazda 3 & 6 seemed interesting but the 3 was a little small and the 6 was a little expensive. I liked the Altima coupe but they are kind of rare for the price I wanted to spend. Plus its one of the only cars I know of that charges you MORE to get a manual trans. (didn't care for the CVT)
Then I came back home to the VAG family. 2.5l Jetta was nice but I hated the clutch and I'm not a hatch back person so golf wasn't an option. The Tig was sweet inside the trim I had but it was out of $ range so I ended up in a used CC. In the end I decided I wanted the ride comfort and the 2.0T.
I was shopping for a cheap ($15k range) with good mpg so I could afford an ultralight this year. But I need a tow vehicle to transport it around anyhow and would also need to build an addition to some storage building at the house so this year is out of the question.

Home internet access has seen strong growth in the past decade and is now part and parcel of life in Hong Kong, government statistics show.
Almost four out of five homes were connected to the internet in 2010, compared with only half with web access in 2001, the Census and Statistics Department found in a household survey.
The figures indicated the web was increasingly reaching out to grass-roots residents in their homes, said Charles Mok, founding chairman of the Internet Society of Hong Kong.
'It shows that the internet is no longer just for the middle class and above,' Mok said. 'There's been a significant increase of users in public housing, among more grass-roots people and senior residents ... It's become like the television or telephone - like a utility.'
The report, published yesterday, showed 1.8 million households in 2010 had their personal computers hooked up online, comprising 76.4 per cent of total households.
That compared with only 48.7 per cent of homes that had internet-linked computers in 2001.
Web users were also more likely to be connected via mobile devices than fixed broadband access, the report said.
Last year, among 100 people in Hong Kong, 104 mobile devices were connected to mobile broadband networks, compared with 32 that used fixed broadband subscriptions, the report said.
The figures indicated many people owned more than one phone. Hong Kong's mobile phone penetration rate is one of the highest in the world, at 193.2 per cent.
The city's internet penetration rate is in the world's top 50, at 68.7 per cent, according to data compiled by the Miniwatts Marketing Group in late 2011. The figure is on a par with Taiwan, but lags the US, South Korea and a handful of Scandinavian countries which top the chart.

Three Ways to Generate Great Ideas for Brand Blog Content
One of the most intimidating aspects for businesses that have decided to start a blog is the blank page. It's one of the major reasons people avoid it – 'what the heck are we gonna write about?' Blogging, like all writing, can be difficult, and everyone has days where they've got nothing, no ideas flowing through at all - you know you need to stick to your content schedule, you know you need to get something down. But you're mind is blank. Everyone experiences this, but there are always things you can do to get your content groove back. You might just need a prompt, a splash of inspiration to wake you up and bring you back to blogging life. Here are a couple of ideas that might help re-ignite your thoughts and coax that great content out of the corners of your mind.
1. Your professional experiences are more interesting than you realise. I read an article recently about a former Navy nuclear machinist who discussed what it's like working in a submarine. In the piece, he talks about how the crew are always just a little bit on edge because the oxygen levels on board are kept very low. The piece is really interesting and well worth a read, but it also serves as a reminder that there's so much we don't know. Most people's experiences are limited - we generally know a small percentage of different jobs and have a confined amount of detailed, working knowledge on a few core subjects. Even people who are well read don't have the practical experience of working in each specific jobs day-to-day - and that everyday reality is often significantly different to what's noted in text.
At least some of the experiences and knowledge you have gained in your career will be of interest to other people. Think about anytime you've started a new job, you always learn at east a few things that you're genuinely surprised by - but the person taking you through it will go over it like it's nothing. Because to them it is nothing, they've been doing it for a long time. When trying to think of what stories you could share it might be worth getting someone in who has no knowledge of what you do, taking them through some of your processes, then asking them what stood out the most. There'll always be a few points that an outsider will find intriguing. Explaining those elements gives you a chance to share interesting brand stories, whilst also giving you opportunity to showcase your business expertise and the work that goes into doing what you do everyday.
For example: Did you know that street charity fund-raisers (those people who hassle you as you walk past) generate millions in donations each year for charity groups? Did you know that on most airlines, each pilot has to eat a different meal to avoid them all getting sick? Sales of supermarket baked goods increase three-fold when the smell of baked bread is in the air. While not every fun fact can form a whole blog post, insight like this can add a unique and shareable element, helping to create more informative, compelling content.
2. What are the most common questions you get asked? Over the years of working with clients, you've no doubt established a mental FAQ as you've gone through the process. Write those questions down, put together detailed answers for each, see if they can form blog posts. Even better, create videos and images that show how things work in order to answer those common questions – video content can significantly increase shareability, and it, again, offers you a chance to showcase your skills and expertise. If people can get their questions answered online before they come to you (and statistics show the majority of consumers seek information online before making a purchase) it might even make your job easier, as you can avoid going over the same things over and over again.
For example: Colgate's Oral and Dental Resource Centre is a comprehensive guide to all things dental, covering almost any customer query. It caters to a direct consumer need whilst also positioning Colgate as the industry experts and go-to brand. Not everyone can establish a resource of this scale, but by creating posts for each common question, over time you can build a solid resource library to refer back to.
3. What are the others in your industry saying? Social media provides a wealth of data to search for trending topics within your industry, and all of these can be angled into blog posts from your perspective. Using some of the advanced Twitter search functions, you can target your searches to see how specific issues are being discussed in your nation, your state or your immediate local area, then angle each of those discussions into a blog post that's in line with your brand message. One thing to keep in mind is that while you'll no doubt have opinions on industry movements, the aspect you need to communicate is how those movements will impact your clients. That's the blog post, that's what your customers want to hear - while some issues might have a significant impact on you or your business, writing a blog post on them is not likely to gain much traction if they don't affect your audience. Remember who you're writing for, keep in mind their needs and wants. Translating those larger issues into the potential consumer impacts is a great way to create more engaging brand content.
For example: This piece on the Australian website Car Advice looks at the demise of the local automotive sector and, more importantly, what it means for consumers. Whilst this is not branded content in itself, this is a good example of taking an industry issue and providing the answers the audience are seeking.
Blogging can be difficult. Even writers who write everyday find it tough at times, and getting that perfect angle that will generate the most client interest, the most shares among social networks, there's no definitive science to it. The key is to try and think of things from the client's perspective. For every issue, every idea, think about what, based on your experience, your target audience is going to ask about. If you can answer those questions for them it will get people more engaged with your content. You'll not only get more attention and referral traffic, but you'll establish yourself as an industry expert and trusted brand, which will keep clients and their extended networks coming back for more.

The Five Continues To Flounder As Bolling Levels Factually Flawed Attack On Sen. Reid
Blog ››› ››› LESLIE ROSENBERG
Three days into The Five, Fox News' replacement for Glenn Beck, and the hosts have already unleashed a litany of sexist stereotypes and dismissed a children's health epidemic. For their third act, host Eric Bolling demonstrated that the hosts might not be expected to check their facts.
During a debate on the wisdom of legalizing online gambling, Bolling baselessly blamed Senate Majority Leader Reid for stonewalling efforts to make online gambling legal out of fealty to Nevada casinos:
In his rush to reflexively bash a Democrat, Bolling overlooked the fact that in 2010 Reid himself sponsored legislation that would have legalized online poker:
The online poker bill I am working on is good for the country and for Nevada. Under the status quo, Internet poker is played by millions of Americans every day in an essentially unregulated environment, meaning no protections for minors, no respect for State law, no assurance that games are fair and honest, and no one to turn to if you're defrauded. Additionally, neither federal nor State governments collect a dime of revenue from this multibillion dollar Internet poker industry.
The Poker Player's Alliance praised Reid for his public support of online poker:
It is a good thing that Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid stepped up and took the position that Internet poker is something that should be recognized by this country and properly licensed and regulated. He and his staff worked with a variety of stakeholders to craft a bill that would create a U.S. regulated Internet poker marketplace, establish sensible consumer protections, guarantee states' rights, and generate revenue and economic growth. We are pleased that the leader of the United States Senate is someone we can call an ally for realistic Internet poker policy.

New book tells the riveting story of Jimmy Escalle, a U.S. fighter pilot who became missing in action during the Korean War.
Bakersfield, CA (PRnine – August 15, 2013) – "Unforgotten Hero: Remembering a Fighter Pilot's Life, War and Ultimate Sacrifice" tells the captivating life story of Second Lieutenant Jimmy L. Escalle, a U.S. Air Force fighter pilot who became missing in action during the Korean War.
Born in Fresno, California, but raised in the small farming community of Earlimart in Tulare County, Jimmy's story unfolds during the Great Depression when many people around the country had a hard time finding work. According to the author, Jim Escalle, "As the story develops, you will read about what it was like growing up in a small farming town in California's San Joaquin Valley during the 1930s and 1940s. There is mention of a Japanese-American family being taken to an internment camp, and German POWs doing farm labor in the same potato fields where Jim and his brother worked."
Called to serve his country after the Korean War began, Jimmy's childhood dream became a reality when he joined the Air Force and got the opportunity to fly the F-86 Sabre, regarded as the most advanced jet fighter of its time. Soon after arriving in Korea he went on his first missions, which were MiG Alley sweeps. However, since Jim was assigned to a fighter-bomber squadron, the majority of his combat missions were air-to-ground, which were considered to be the most dangerous missions.
"In Korea, more pilots had been killed or listed as missing in action due to being shot down by ground fire rather than enemy aircraft. For Jimmy, this fact was realized only five weeks before the armistice was signed. He paid the ultimate price for freedom when he disappeared while on a combat mission over North Korea and was never seen or heard from again," notes Escalle.
The book recants the life story of one example of the thousands who answered the call to serve their country during the Korean War. The goal of the book is for readers to never forget them or the sacrifices they made for freedom.
About the Author
Jim is the nephew of 2nd Lt. Jimmy L. Escalle. Jim Escalle was born and raised in the San Joaquin Valley town of Delano, California. After attending the College of the Sequoias in Visalia, he went on to receive a degree in Liberal Studies from Fresno State in 1983. He has been involved in public education for over 25 years. Jim currently lives in Bakersfield, California. "Unforgotten Hero: Remembering a Fighter Pilot's Life, War and Ultimate Sacrifice" is his first book.

Anand Rishiji Maharaj (Marathi: आनंद ऋषीजी महाराज) (1900–1992) was a Jain religious leader.[1] The Government of India issued a commemorative postage stamp in his honour on 9 August 2002. He was awarded with the honorary title of Rashtra Sant.[2]
Sansari Name - Nemichandji ; Sansari Surname - Gugliya/ Gugale ; Mother Name - Shrimati. Hulsabai ; Father Name - Shriman. Devichandji ; Tithi of Birth - Shrawan sudh Ekam ; Birth Place - Chichondi Dist. Ahmednagar
He was born[3] in Ahmednagar (Maharashtra) on 27 July 1900 and received initiation from the age of thirteen with Acharya Ratna Rishiji Maharaj, who died in Alipur in 1927. He was pious from his childhood, and started taking religious lessons at an early age. From 1964 until his death in 1992, he was the second Acharya of Vardhman Sthanakvasi Jain Shravak Sangh, a Jain religious body.[4][5][6]
At the age of 13, Nemichand decided to spend the rest of his life as a Jain sant. His diksha (consecration) took place on 7 December 1913 (Margashirsha Shukla Navami) at Miri in Ahmednagar district. He was then given the name Anand Rishi Ji Maharaj. He started learning Sanskrit and Prakrit Stotras under the guidance of Pandit Rajdhari Tripathi. He gave his first pravachan to the public in 1920 at Ahmednagar.
Together with Ratna Rishi Ji Maharaj, Anand Rishi Ji had started promoting Jainism. After mentor Ratna Rishi Ji Maharaj's santhara death in Alipur in 1927, Anand Rishi Ji was devastated. However, he never forgot his mentors words "Never be sad, and always work towards well-being of mankind". His first chaturmas without his mentor was in Hinganghat in 1927. In 1931, he used to have religious discussions with Jain dharma divakar Chuathmalji Maharaj, who realized Anand Rishi Ji's capability to become Acharya, and conveyed his wish it to his followers.
Anand Rishi Ji started many programs to benefit Shravaks. While in Ghodnadi for chaturmas, he decided to establish a religious center called Shri. Tilok Ratna Sthanakvasi Jain Dharmik Pariksha Board. It was established in Ahmednagar on 25 November 1936.
In 1952, at Sadri Sadhu Sammelan in Rajasthan, Anand Rishi Ji was declared as the Prime Minister of Jain Shraman Sangha. In 1953, many renowned Jain sadhus came together for a common chaturmas in Jodhpur, Rajasthan. On 13 May 1964 (Phalguna Shukla Ekadasi), Anand Rishi Ji became second Acharya of Shraman Sangha. The ceremony took place in Ajmer, Rajasthan.
After his chaturmas in 1974 in Mumbai, Anand Rishi Ji arrived in Pune. A huge welcome ceremony took place at Shaniwar Wada. On 13 February 1975 (Maagha shukla dvitiya), he was awarded the title Rashtra Sant by Maharashtra's chief minister Vasantrao Naik. This was also the year of his 75th birthday. The same year, Anand Foundation was established. 1987 was the diamond jubilee year of his consecration as a sadhu. It was celebrated with nine consecrations, and in the presence of Pujya Shankaracharya and Chief Minister Shankarrao Chavan.
One more divine thing about the revered Acharya is that he had a PADAM symbol in his foot middle. He would exhibit that only to those devotees who forbid one of his habit or vowed some PRAN for lifetime. [7]
He accepted santhara (preparation for death by fasting) before his death on 28 March 1992 in Ahmednagar, Maharashtra.
He was the founder of many educational institutes. The Anandrishiji Hospital and Anandrishiji Blood Bank in Ahmednagar were built in his memory and are named after him.[8]

Book Signing: An Evening with Lauren Groff, author, The Monsters of Templeton
Wednesday, March 5, 2008
4:00 p.m.–6:00 p.m.
Doberstein Admissions Center Auditorium
New Castle Campus
Friday, March 7, 2008
4:00 p.m.–6:00 p.m.
Rehoboth site
Rehoboth Beach, DE
Library Director, James McCloskey, invites the Wilmington University Community to join author Laruen Groff, as she shares her debut novel, The Monsters of Templeton. Copies are available through all major book vendors and limited quantities will be available for purchase at the event. Refreshments will be served.
Lauren Groff's debut novel, The Monsters of Templeton, is everything a reader might have expected from this gifted writer, and more. Willie is a funny, sexy, plucky, heroine; her Mom -- a once-upon-a-time hippie who's gone Baptist but not square -- is a hoot; her family history is a funhouse through which Willie must wander in order to find her father. Best of all is Templeton, a town that will remind readers of Ray Bradbury at his most magical. There are monsters, murders, bastards, and ne'er-do-wells almost without number. I was sorry to see this rich and wonderful novel come to an end, and there is no higher success than that." --Stephen King, Entertainment Weekly
"In The Monsters of Templeton Lauren Groff has crafted a multilayered story that is boldly inventive and surprising, by turns wistful, elegiac, and sweeping."
—Lauren Belfer, author of City of Light
"A fantastically fun read, a kind of wild pastiche that is part historical novel and part mystery, with a touch of the supernatural thrown in for good measure."

Keane hails Sunderland spirit
Roy Keane paid tribute to the character of his Sunderland side after the 2-1 victory over Tottenham.
By Lewis Rutledge
Last Updated: 23/08/08 9:48pm
Roy Keane paid tribute to the character of his Sunderland side after the 2-1 victory over Tottenham.
Kieran Richardson put Sunderland ahead early in the second half with a spectacular strike before Jermaine Jenas levelled.
The Black Cats had to withstand a lot of pressure before debutant Djibril Cisse headed home to clinch all three points.
"We are delighted to get an away victory so soon in the season," Keane told Sky Sports.
Asked if Sunderland deserved the victory, Keane conceded: "I am not sure.
"Credit to Tottenham, they deservedly got their equaliser, but we showed good character after they scored.
"And with Cisse coming on I thought that if we got one or two half-chances we'd take them."
Cisse praise
Cisse only joined Sunderland on a season-long loan from Marseille on Thursday and Keane was happy for him to start as a substitute.
David Healy also tied up a move to the club this week but Keane opted for Daryl Murphy and El-Hadji Diouf up front.
"I thought our attacking players put in a good shift last week so it was only fair they started," Keane said.
"He (Cisse) only arrived for his first training session yesterday so we thought we'd put him on the bench along with David Healy.
"It's good for me to look over my shoulder with 25 minutes to go and look at the better options I have on the bench."
Keane is still looking to add to his squad before the close of the transfer window on 1st September.
He said: "We hope so. I am trying to work on two players and hopefully we can do something next week, but I am so delighted with the group of players I have."

Geologic and hydrologic hazards in glacierized basins in North America resulting from 19th and 20th century global warming

Alpine glacier retreat resulting from global warming since the close of the Little Ice Age in the 19th and 20th centuries has increased the risk and incidence of some geologic and hydrologic hazards in mountainous alpine regions of North America. Abundant loose debris in recently deglaciated areas at the toe of alpine glaciers provides a ready source of sediment during rainstorms or outburst floods. This sediment can cause debris flows and sedimentation problems in downstream areas. Moraines built during the Little Ice Age can trap and store large volumes of water. These natural dams have no controlled outlets and can fail without warning. Many glacier-dammed lakes have grown in size, while ice dams have shrunk, resulting in greater risks of ice-dam failure. The retreat and thinning of glacier ice has left oversteepened, unstable valley walls and has led to increased incidence of rock and debris avalanches.

Research on drug discovery and asymmetric synthesis methodology development.
Prior to Wellesley, I worked as a medicinal chemist at Wyeth and Pfizer Pharmaceuticals after my Ph. D. studies in organic synthesis at UCLA. During my time spent in drug research three of my projects entered clinical trials and I published multiple papers. My experience covers the whole drug discovery process: identification of lead compounds from high throughput screens, synthesis of potent inhibitors based on computer-aided drug design, and development of safe molecules to clinical trials. This experience broadened my knowledge in computational chemistry, biology, biochemistry, pharmacology, and many other areas related to human health.
I co-authored the book, Anti-Inflammatory Drug Discovery. This book provides a comprehensive review of recent medicinal chemistry approaches to various important therapeutic targets and offers a key reference for modern drug discovery programs directed at anti-inflammatory mechanisms of action.
My higher education started with material science. I did my M. S. E. research on polymer engineering at Chinese Academy of Sciences/Changchun Institute of Applied Chemistry and Dalian University of Technology. Later I worked as a scientist at DuPont Central R&D, Wilmington, DE, specializing in polymer materials and organometallic catalysts.
I am passionate about teaching and love to share my research knowledge with students. I have developed a Drug Discovery and Drug Action curriculum and taught Organic Chemistry and Introductory Chemistry Laboratories. Meanwhile, I supervise student research. My research focuses on elucidating the mechanism of adverse effects of drugs and developing asymmetric synthetic methodologies.
In my spare time, I enjoy walking in the woods, reading biographies, and playing violin.

Apple Attacks The Big Apple: Apple and NYC Battle Over Logo

The little logo that has Apple in a tiff.
(Source: NYC)
Apple and Steve Jobs are unhappy with New York's new logo for its green campaign
Looking at
NYC's GreeNYC campaign logo
-- a little green apple with curve bisecting it -- it certain looks harmless. The GreeNYC campaign was
launched by Mayor Bloomberg
as part of a vision for sustainability over the next twenty-five years. It aims to cut the city's carbon emissions by 30 percent and to conserve natural resources.
The innocent looking logo has been popping up of late on bus shelters, hybrid taxis and shopping bags from Whole Foods. The city filed for trademark for the logo in May 2007. Soon after filing Apple began a fierce legal campaign against the symbol, which it has continued to escalate to the present. Apple claims that the earth friendly logo will, "seriously injure
the reputation with which [Apple] has established
for its goods and services."
Perhaps Apple bears a bit of
ill will against environmentalist movements
due to its rough treatment at their hands in the past. Environmental activists
Greenpeace blasted the MacBook Air
, which it gave a B-, and the iPhone, which it
denounced as "toxic"
. Still, Apple has promised reform and has tried to
revamp its products to be environmentally
. CEO Steve Jobs even claims to be a big environmentalist and
supporter of Nobel Prize-winning activist Al Gore
Regardless Apple, for some reason, has chosen to wage legal war against NYC over a trademark that looks at casual glance little if anything
like the Apple logo
, other than its a logo with an apple in it. NYC officials state. "The city believes that Apple's claims have no merit and that no consumer is likely to be confused."
Lawyers specializing in trademarks stated that Apple will be hard pressed to prove a case of trademark dilution. For such a case to work, Apple would have to virtually argue than any logo with an apple in it violates Apple's trademarks. In other words Apple has to basically prove that it has exclusive trademark of the world's most popular produce.
Apple has waged lengthy legal campaigns over its name and device names in the past. Apple finally ended its long battle with the Beatles' Apple Corps not long ago, opening the way for a
possible arrival of the Beatles catalog on iTunes
Apple also fought Cisco Systems
, who tried to use the name iPhone for its products to Apple's chagrin.
The final decision will be made by the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board of the patent office. Currently surveys are being commissioned which will question people at malls across the country to determine if Apple has any right to challenge NYC over the logo.
"And boy have we patented it!" -- Steve Jobs, Macworld 2007

Pub bores might like to remember the names Hans-Jorg Butt and Sinan Bolat.
These are the men who ensured that, for the first time, goalkeepers scored on both evenings of a Champions League Matchday.
Admittedly, it is a stat couched in the sort of 'football began in 1992' language that would make any football purist retch, but it is interesting nonetheless. Well, ED thinks so.
Butt scored his first goal for Bayern Munich on Tuesday, ramming in a penalty in the 4-1 win against Juventus, bringing his career total to 35.
The former Hamburg and Bayer Leverkusen keeper is a prolific penalty taker, and his efforts carry a delightful frisson of danger, with the promise of a frantic sprint back to his area on the event of a miss.
On one occasion in 2004, Butt converted a penalty kick and, while celebrating with Leverkusen fans, watched the ball sail over his head and into the net after Mike Hanke shot straight from the kick-off.
Note the way Butt's team-mates Lucio and Carsten Ramelow cannot resist laughing as Hanke's shot goes in.
As far as ED knows, Standard Liege's Turkish goalkeeper Bolat had not scored before last night's headed equaliser against AZ Alkmaar - certainly his celebration seemed to suggest as much.
The 21-year-old's goal ensured Standard pipped AZ to third place in Group H, thereby giving them the chance to embarrass Liverpool in the Europa League.
Here, ED foregoes the medium of writing to go video-embedding mad and introduce some more goalscoring keepers.
Rogerio Ceni - Contrary to popular belief, the most prolific South American goalkeeper is not Jose Luis Chilavert - it's this guy. He introduces a selection of his favourite free-kicks.
Jorge Campos - Psychedelic Mexican loon. Here he is in the role of goalkeeper-turned-goalscorer-turned-provider charging out of his box to set up a ridiculous goal in a friendly.
Peter Schmeichel - the Manchester United legend scored plenty of goals in his time, but ED would rather show him on Strictly Come Dancing. The Dane's cameo starts at about 3.38 - and you thought that Davor Suker chip made him look stupid.
Paul Robinson - Scored for Spurs with a Pat Jennings-style clearance that bounced over Ben Foster, but also found the net when at Leeds with a bullet header against Swindon.
Mickael Landreau - How not to do it. Nantes's 2004 French League Cup final against Sochaux went to penalties, and up stepped Landreau who tried to be just a little bit too clever. Every penalty taker's nightmare.
- - -
More proof, if it were needed, that most Americans know nothing about football: Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes were at last night's Sevilla v Rangers game.
ED knows there are some odd strands to Scientology - remaining silent while giving birth and the stuff about aliens spring to mind - but watching Rangers in Europe is a step too far.
- - -
QUOTE OF THE DAY: Apparently, Chris Waddle's penalty at Italia '90 would have gone in had he been using the Adidas Jabulani that will be at the World Cup in South Africa. Developer Dr Andy Harland said: "He aimed for the top corner. If he had this ball I think he would have got it."
By that logic, they can start engraving Emile Heskey's name on the Golden Boot trophy now.
- - -
FOREIGN VIEW: Jens Lehmann - still bonkers. The former Arsenal keeper used a
quiet moment in last night's Stuttgart game against Unirea to nip
behind the advertising hoardings for a quick slash. Genuinely.
Lehmann's defence: "I've rarely been that nervous."
Stuttgart general manager Horst Heldy laughed off the incident, saying:
"It reminded me of the Tour de France."
And here it is, with bonus DaMarcus Beasley footage:

Women's college basketball is getting good marks in racial diversity for its coaching hires.
One reason: The search committees for coaches are more diverse.
Fourteen of 16 schools received A's for their hires before the 2008-09 season, according to the second hiring report card in women's basketball that was released Wednesday by the Black Coaches and Administrators.
Colorado State, which hired Kristen Holt, was the only school to receive an F. The report attributed that to Holt, a former Colorado State assistant, being promoted without an external search.
One school, Idaho, was not included because of what the BCA described as an oversight that prevented it from collecting data.
Nine of the other 16 coaches who were hired were nonwhite. The report cited that development as encouraging particularly after grading college football, which has only seven black coaches in the Football Bowl Subdivision.
"This sends a strong message to student-athletes when they can look to the sideline and see role models like Dawn Staley, Sylvia Crawley, Nikki Caldwell and Niya Butts, to name a few, now having the opportunity to guide their own programs," Georgia Tech men's basketball coach Paul Hewitt said in the report. "The effort of the schools should also be applauded for creating a more diverse selection process."
Twenty-four women's coaches, representing 20 percent of Division I schools, now have coaches of color. There are 20 black women, three black men and one Hispanic in Division I women's basketball.
Arizona, Ball State, Navy, North Texas, Temple, UCLA and Western Michigan received an A in all four of the categories — communication, search committee, candidates and the length of the search.
Alabama, which received a B, was the only school other than Colorado State not to receive an overall grade of A.
Also encouraging was the makeup of the search committees.
While the number of black coaching candidates brought in for interviews actually dropped, from 45 percent to 38 percent from 2006-07 to 2007-08, persons of color actually accounted for 35 percent of the search committee makeup. That was up from 30 percent last year.
The result: More black and Hispanic coaches (56 percent) were hired in 2008 than in 2007 (36 percent).
"By any standard of measurement, this hiring cycle in women's college basketball was even more successful than last year's study in terms of the number of people of color hired," the report said.

For all those who haven't seen it yet in the previous thread, here's what Marie Chantal has worn today:
And here's a yet unseen dress from June 6 - Marie-Chantal attended the Ormeley Dinner at the Bridgewater House in London:
** Full view **
Love the dress at the wedding. Beautiful
I'm sorry but I think it is incredibly tacky and rude to wear white to a wedding, which is what color MC's dress looks to me. It's a beautiful dress but I was raised that you never wear white to a wedding so you don't upstage the bride.
I've seen better from MC. It's okay, not great.
She is always perfectly attired, and I really love her dress, her tiara, her hair, etc. today. Perfect in every way-except the color. What was she thinking?
Loved the shape of the dress as it suits her perfectly but agree with other posters that she should not have worn this colour.
I can only imagine what went through the bride's mind when she saw her guest in a wedding gown.
I doubt that. People wear all kinds of colors or lack thereof. You can tell the bride. That is an old fashioned idea, which really has no basis in fact. A good bra might have helped, some are right, I guess they are not available in England. Plus, she is a princess from nowhere. Madeleine is a real princess, if that matters.
She is certainly not the first woman guest to wear a shade of white at a wedding. I seem to recall Princess Grace wore white at the 1973 wedding of Princess Anne. It seems to be another of those old rules that has been thrown out the window awhile ago,
agree that the bra is lacking. So is the posture. A rare miss for MC
Yes I remember when Grace did that NGalitzine it was huge to say the least at the time andso I think that with that lesson read out to the style icon Grace I would have thought no one else could have thought to make the same mistake EVER.
But many women have and still do wear white at weddings. I just think it is one of those old rules that is pretty much gone now. No one seriously would have a problem differentiating between a wedding guest in white and the bride coming down the aisle and standing at the altar taking her wedding vows.
I don't think it is okay and though i guess we will have to agree to disagree I would never wear white to a wedding myself as a guest and I think and this is only me.. that alot of actions which are just bad manners are turned away as old fashioned[ like chewing with your mouth closed!!!!].
But I understnad your comments re the guest thing.
Marie Chantals dress to the wedding was by Valentino Couture Fall 2011.
I don't care if she wore white the wedding, there is no rule that white should not be worn.
I don' think in Europe wearing white to a wedding is a big deal. In America it is basically no one should wear white because it is the brides day to wear that color. And I know of weddings where people have been asked to leave if they are wearing white. The times that guests can wear white is when the bride is having an all white wedding and the guests are asked to wear white.
Marie Chantal as usual very elegant.
I love the dress but agree not at this event. If it were light blue or something it would have been perfect.
Very pretty dress at the wedding. That's a very beautiful color.

(Awkward Blackberry photo of Yancy Gates taken by Scott Springer)
Last season, Lance Stephenson and Deonta Vaughn scored over 34 percent of UC's points. If you factor in Yancy Gates, that figure goes to nearly 50 percent as those three were the only double digit scorers for the Bearcats.
In terms of minutes, Rashad Bishop, Gates, Vaughn and Stephenson all played at least 25 per game with Vaughn leading the pack at 30.5.
If Coach Mick Cronin has his way this season, those same numbers won't be posted. The only numbers that Cronin and the team want to increase this season are in the win category.
If the first exhibition is any indication of things to come (and yes, that's a mighty reach) the Bearcats are going to come at you with fresh bodies as eleven players were in double figures in minutes, with Dion Dixon staying on the floor the longest (27 of the 40).
"We're a team," said Dixon. "That was just an exhibition, nothing major, but we're getting our chemistry together."
The key words in that quote were, "we" and "team". The omission of an "I" reference is encouraging as UC looks to gel as a unit, having had a taste of the postseason and then an unpleasant early bounce in the second round of the NIT.
To make that "other" tournament, bonding and cohesiveness is a must. Therefore, the Bearcats are using their personnel to chase and wear out the opposition, with more players determining the outcome of the game.
"Yeah, I love it," said Dixon. "We've got ten guys that are going to play. You go out there and give your all and someone will come get you and give his all. That's good."
Certainly, this is far from a new idea, but it's one that Cronin has been striving for since their last loss to Dayton back in March.
"The mental focus of our team has been my focus for six months and it's going to continue to be," said Cronin. "We continue to have great team mentality, very coachable. I'm excited about our team."
This is not to knock Deonta Vaughn or Lance Stephenson. Vaughn guided the Bearcats for pretty much his first three years, then "Born Ready" showed up and changed UC's presence again.
No one will ever know how good UC might've been had Stephenson stayed, but there's a pretty good argument being made right now that the departure of the last season's scorers may result in a better overall team focus. Particularly, with the pressure defense being displayed. Communication and support for your fellow man are crucial there.
"It helps out a lot, especially on defense," said Gates. "You've got more guys out there talking and it helps you stay alert instead of maybe falling asleep and getting back cut. You know what's going on behind you, it just makes it easier on the defense, like a sixth man."
Gates no longer is an underclassman, neither is Dion Dixon. Those two seem to have had the proverbial "light bulb" go on above their heads in terms of conditioning and dedication. That's another positive sign as both entered UC the same year.
" We're real close," acknowledged Gates. "We've had a lot of classes together, we've had the same lift time. We're both a lot alike, we're willing to do anything to win."
It's all apparent in Gates' new toned body and Dixon looks leaner, yet stronger. Dixon's offseason work has also been documented by Paul Dehner Jr. and when he was in town, he put more hours in at Fifth Third Arena than the lead custodian.
"He was in the gym all summer all day and night driving Scott Wilhoit (UC facilities management) nuts," said Cronin. "(He was) doing two-ball dribbling drills and shooting drills. When you've got a guy doing that on his own, you've got a dedicated guy."
Again, it's early, but the one-game returns on Dixon were 19 points in 27 minutes, while Gates had 23 in 25. The only thing selfish I can report in either of them is Dixon's answer when I asked him which Bearcat would be the most improved this season....
"Hopefully me, hopefully me," said Dixon with a grin.
Beyond that, this appears to be a year of great teamwork. This is also the beginning of the 50th anniversary of UC's back-to-back NCAA champions who won "The Dance" with great teamwork.
They were honored with a luncheon about a month ago and more is planned for them as the season progresses. It should be noted that Mick Cronin and his staff and Yancy Gates were present at the luncheon honoring the '61 and '62 champions.
The winning equation they heard about that day is the same equation set forth every year by most coaches. However, in a "Playstation" world, not all take heed.
A few months from now, we'll know whether or not this group did.
"The key is getting guys to believe it," said Cronin. "You've got to have guys committed to winning and sacrificing and willing to play a certain role to separate yourself from other teams. The key for us is we're talented enough to do it. Coach saying it is one thing, players understanding it is another."
The current learning curve begins shortly and extends into March.
Those that learn well, play more.

Camden Town, North London: star-crossed lovers, 1990s-style. The marriage of Danny (Henshall) and Hannah (McCormack) fails to survive the reception, shattered by a revelation of prenuptial infidelity. Pub band singer Marey (Burke) lands Danny on the rebound, but soon tires of her role as a comforting 'fat bird' whose own emotional needs are ignored. Rich single mother Sophie (Ehle) is too selfish to let anyone into her life for long, not even womaniser Cameron (Scott), a handsome serial seducer who combs the lonely hearts ads for potential conquests. Most troubled of all is the inept Liam (Hart), whose volatile neediness is at once comical and desperate. Writer/director Kane's deftly understated dialogue suggests rather than insists, and the result is an engaging comic portrait of flesh-and-blood people just getting by, in a world where little is as permanent as the 'Celtic Forever' insignia which a drunken Danny tattoos on to the similarly squiffy Marey's bum.

Weak earnings tug stocks lower on Wall Street
FILE – In this Wednesday, July 31, 2013, file photo, Specialist Fabian Caceres, background right, works with traders on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange. World stock markets fell Wednesday, Aug. 7, 2013 led by a plunge in Japan's benchmark index, as expectations mounted that the U.S. central bank will begin to phase out its monetary stimulus next month. (AP Photo/Richard Drew, file)
NEW YORK (AP) — Disappointing earnings news and a slump in bank stocks tugged the stock market down Wednesday, giving major indexes their first three-day drop since June.
Banks had some of the biggest losses following news that the government filed lawsuits accusing Bank of America of misleading investors.
The Standard & Poor's 500 index fell 6.46 points, or 0.4 percent, to close at 1,690.91. Seven of the index's 10 industry groups ended [auth] lower.
The Dow Jones industrial average fell 48.07 points, or 0.3 percent, to 15,470.67. The Nasdaq composite lost 11.76 points, or 0.3 percent, to 3,654.01.
The S&P 500 has drifted down 1.1 percent since reaching an all-time high of 1,709.67 on Friday. Trading has been thin this week, and warnings of slowing sales and tepid quarterly results have given investors no reason to push the market higher.
"I'm not concerned about the market being down over a few days given how much it's run up," said Paul Zemsky, the head of multi-asset strategies at ING Investment Management. "Put it in context, and it's not concerning."
The S&P 500 index closed above 1,700 points for the first time last Thursday and has already surged 18.6 percent this year. If the broad-market measure stays put for the rest of 2013, it would still be the S&P 500's best year since 2009.
In separate lawsuits filed Tuesday, the Justice Department and the Securities and Exchange Commission said the country's second-largest bank failed to tell investors about the risks involved in a 2008 sale of mortgage-backed bonds. BofA fell 11 cents, or 1 percent, to $14.53.
Walt Disney reported quarterly earnings late Tuesday that narrowly beat Wall Street's estimates, but revenue came up short. Disney's executives also said the company will have to take a steep charge from a weak box-office welcome for "The Lone Ranger" movie this summer. Disney slumped $1.14, or 2 percent, to $65.91.
As the second-quarter earnings season winds down, the overall picture looks mixed. Most companies have reported better earnings along with weaker revenue.
In other trading Wednesday, crude oil fell 93 cents, or 0.9 percent, to settle at $104.37 a barrel. Gold gained $2.80 to $1,285.30 an ounce.
The yield on the 10-year Treasury note fell to 2.60 percent from 2.64 percent late Tuesday.
Among other companies in the news:
— Ralph Lauren Corp. dropped $16.38, or 9 percent, to $173.13. Sluggish sales led the luxury retailer to report a drop in quarterly income early Wednesday. The company also gave a cautious sales forecast.
— First Solar fell $6.28, or 13 percent, to $40.47. The company posted results late Tuesday that fell short of Wall Street's expectations. First Solar also cut its profit outlook.
— Zillow, which operates a real-estate website, dropped $6.98, or 8 percent, to $83.73. After the market closed Tuesday, the company reported a loss in the second quarter as its costs nearly doubled.

10 am - 5pm
10 am - 4 pm
Drop in and meet our new owners,
Anna & Silvio
As so often happens hobbies can turn into full time businesses.
Moon Shadows Estate Winery and Maple Moon are no exceptions.
It all started as a small maple syrup operation and gradually
grew into what is now a popular gift store and Haliburton
Ontario's only winery. Here you can find not only maple
syrup in a selection of sizes, a variety of tasty maple
products, a large selection of unique gifts for everyone
but also a wide variety of fine Ontario
fruit wines.
"He was so impressed with your
wine that he is going to use them for part of our Christmas
gifts for our corporate clients. Hopefully they
will enjoy them as much as we have."
From the earlier years of their maple syrup production came
the concept of maple wine and from there Moon Shadows Estate
Winery was born. It is not only Haliburton's first winery
but also Ontario's first maple winery, opening its doors
in July 2005. Using maple syrup in the fermentation process,
this local winery offers customers 20+ unique fruit and
maple wines, from dry to sweet.
Among their selection of wines, Golden Maple, Cran Maple
and Maple Sugar all feature the heavenly taste of maple
and are among the most popular. As well, a variety of grape
wines are available.
Wine tasting is offered daily at the tasting bar and winery
tours can be arranged upon request.
"I discovered your winery last
weekend, and bought 3 bottles while there. It is absolutely
fabulous and I wish I had got more"
During your visit to the Highlands drop by for a unique
shopping and wine tasting experience.
The Moon Shadows Estate Winery bottle label was created
by local artist Wendy Wood. Wendy has the Haliburton Highlands
at her doorstep. It is this inspiration that helps her create
her paintings and handwovens.
Traveling around the county with sketch book and camera,
Wendy is able to bring a piece of the Highlands back to
her studio. She then recreates that experience with oil
on canvas or with fiber on the loom.
Wendy's work can be seen at her home/studio at 1255 Peterson
Rd., Carnarvon. Phone or email
first to make sure she is home, 705-489-3793.

FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. – Northern Arizona football head coach Jerome Souers has announced the hiring of offensive line coach Adam Stenavich and cornerbacks coach TJ Rushing on Tuesday. The former NFL players will help elevate a Lumberjack football program that finished second in the Big Sky and made a trip to the Football Championship Subdivision Playoffs.
Stenavich comes to NAU after spending the previous two seasons as a graduate assistant on the University of Michigan staff, where he worked with the offensive line and quarterbacks. During his stint with the Wolverines he helped coach two-time Big Ten Lineman of the Year Taylor Lewan, First Team All-Big Ten guard Patrick Omameh and Rimington Trophy winner David Molk.
He was a two-time First Team All-Big Ten offensive tackle at the University of Michigan. He started 39 games during his four-year career and helped lead the Wolverines to the Big Ten Championship in 2003 and 2004. Stenavich went on to have a five-year career in the NFL with the Carolina Panthers, Green Bay Packers, Dallas Cowboys and Houston Texans.
Rushing joins the NAU staff after spending 2013 as a graduate assistant with Arizona State University. He was an assistant secondary coach with ASU, where the Sun Devils ranked first in the Pac-12 in interceptions.
He played collegiately at Stanford University, where he was a 2004 First Team All-Pac-10 selection. Rushing finished his career as one of the top three kick returners in school history with 1,409 yards. He had a five-year stint in the NFL with the Indianapolis Colts, where he was a cornerback. During his time in Indianapolis the Colts won the AFC Championship in 2006 and 2009, in addition to winning Super Bowl XLI.

The trailer for the new Johnny Depp action-comedy Mortdecai has been released, and it doesn't look like the movie is going to do much in restoring the actor's reputation after a string of movies that have failed to perform well with critics.
Johnny Depp is one of the most unique and respected actors of his generation. While he hasn't nabbed any Academy Awards, his long creative partnership with director Tim Burton resulted in his iconic roles as Edward Scissorhands and Ed Wood. For most of his career, Depp has chosen strange, artistically adventurous projects over ones guaranteed to make big money at the box office, which made fans of his work love him all the more.
Recently, it's been hard to be a Johnny Depp fan. Depp's recent work has been everything that his great early career was not; big budget franchises and critical failures. The science fiction film Transcendence completely bombed when it was released over the Easter weekend, taking in only $10.8 million during its opening and receiving just a 19 percent Fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Venerable Rolling Stone film critic Peter Travers even went so far as to call Transcendence "one of the biggest disappointments of the year." Before that was Disney's The Lone Ranger, which also performed poorly at the box office and with critics. The string of badly received movies continues, with many of them also flopping financially. Dark Shadows, The Rum Diary, and The Tourist were all disappointments for Depp fans as well as the people who invested in making them.
The Pirates of the Caribbean and Alice in Wonderland franchises have been solid earners at the box office, but they aren't the type of films that characterize the work Depp's fans love. The first Pirates was enjoyable because of Depp's rakish, bizarre Captain Jack Sparrow, but the onslaught of sequels have performed worse and worse with critics. The fifth Pirates film is planned for 2017. Depp will reprise his role as the Mad Hatter in the second film in Tim Burton's reinterpretation of Alice in Wonderland in 2016 as well.

Trojans Take Advantage Of Roadrunner Errors In 6-5 Win
March 10, 2012
LOS ANGELES - Sophomore Kevin Swick's ninth inning walk-off RBI single gave the Trojans a 6-5 win over CSU Bakersfield tonight in an error filled game at Dedeaux Field. USC moves to 10-3 on the season with the victory.
USC took a 1-0 lead in the second inning as a fielder's choice off the bat of sophomore Jake Hernandez scored senior Kevin Roundtree who had reached on a throwing error to lead off the inning. The Trojans would tack on another run in the fifth when Omar Cotto Lozada was hit by CSUB starter Jeff McKenzie. He would steal second base and then score on a two out error from shortstop Tyler Shryock to put the Trojans up 2-0.
Bakersfield jumped back into the game in the sixth inning when Kevin Younger tripled to center off Andrew Triggs to score two Roadrunners and even the game at 2-2. Triggs allowed four runs (two earned) on four hits in 6.1 innings while taking a no decision.
With two on and two out in the seventh, Dylan Christensen singled to center of sophomore James Guillen to give CSUB a 4-2 lead.
The Trojans wasted no time evening the score as they took advantage of another Roadrunner error. A routine grounder to shortstop was thrown away allowing junior Sean Spear to score and cut the lead to 4-3. Swick followed with a high chopper to short to score Adam Landecker and tie the game at 4-4.
Things looked bleak for the Trojans in the eighth as Matt Foat appeared to lose an infield pop-up in the lights allowing a hustling Oscar Sanay to score from second and take a 5-4 lead.
USC's Garrett Stubbs reached on a crisp liner to center in the bottom of the inning but the Trojans weren't able to convert the run and after freshman Wyatt Strahan (2-0) delivered a 1-2-3 top of the ninth, Troy was down to their last chance.
Keeping true to game riddled with defensive blunders, Landecker reached on an error by CSUB third baseman DC Legg to lead off the bottom of the ninth. Foat singled to right to give the Trojans runners on the corners and Roundtree tied the game on a ground out to second base. With the game on his shoulders, Swick singled to center and Foat came around from second beating the throw to the plate to give the Trojans the walk off win.
Swick, Roundtree and Landecker all had multi-hit games for USC.
The Trojans return to action Saturday at 2 p.m. as the series continues at Dedeaux Field.
