Practice day crash tests Daytona safety measures
By Lewis Franck
DAYTONA BEACH, Florida (Reuters) - Spectator safety measures were put to the test at Daytona International Speedway on Wednesday when a seven-car accident ended opening Sprint Cup Series practice for the day ahead of Sunday's Daytona 500 race.
A car driven by rookie Parker Kligerman was sent into the catch fence, near the area of a multi-car accident last year in which more than 30 fans were injured, but thankfully this time the spectator area was not breached.
Wednesday's accident, in which no one was injured, was apparently caused when Joey Logano and Matt Kenseth made contact in tight drafting practice, resulting in several vehicles being diverted sideways.
Kligerman bore the brunt of it as his vehicle rode up and over the car of Paul Menard before getting pushed from behind by Ryan Truex's vehicle, then slid along the top of the outside wall and into the catch fence.
"Turns out Joey was bump drafting the 20 (car of Kenseth) in the middle of the pack when we were trying to get up to speed," Menard, who was among the fastest in qualifying practice, told reporters. "I guess that's the end result."
Track president Joie Chitwood III told Reuters that the gate in the area of the accident had not been restored because there were an additional nine crossover gates at the venue.
"We did not put back in the one we lost after the accidents," Chitwood said. "For us, we're always going to look to be better.
"It's no different when we put in the SAFER barriers (fences designed to dissipate race car inertia). Five years ago, we replaced all the fencing." Continued...

What is it that inspires and enables ordinary citizens to rise to the challenge of service to their country? Who are these souls willing to make the ultimate sacrifice of their lives?
To fight our wars, you must believe something and want something you're not willing to part with. You must harbor a will and conviction stronger than any other purpose you wish to serve. More than that, you must be willing to commit yourself to hardships, perhaps long and arduous, without having the foresight of how and where it will end.
For those who have, it becomes a journey far more than service. It makes us who we are. In the process we not only become students of history, of philosophy, wiser human beings, but also better versions of ourselves due to one another... regardless of the era served, the battlefields, or the units. We attribute no special merit to a man from one unit vs the other. We know that, if the units of our wars did anything worth remembering, the credit belongs not to the Depts who make up our defense - but to the individuals who did it.
History tells us we are living in a time of economic prosperity. This shelters our countrymen from threats that are not well understood by them. This era also sees many young people having no personal connection to the military. Many Americans today have no experience with or are familiar with the military. There are many reasons for the disconnect. You've encountered some of the ignorance and apathy yourselves.
And, in the absence of service, how do our countrymen recognize you, to pay tribute?
For us it's simple. It's in the eyes. Eyes that if you look, tell you of experiences and sacrifice. They hold stories of honor. Of brotherhood. Of patriotism. Eyes older by wisdom. Most of the time they're proud because their service saw them in chaotic places. That the world can be a harsh place. But is a different place a better place because of those sacrifices.
If gratitude comes your way - it comes in many forms. From a stranger it may come in the form of a handshake or 'thank you'. From the men and women passing you through the grocery stores, the airports, the streets, it may be a nod. A nod that acknowledges who we are and your service - that says you are forever thought of by those who understand. That we are with you. Your brethren.
There may be few of us, but we celebrate and solemnly reaffirm our faith in your sacrifice. Your service embodies the most admirable forms of our beliefs - to act with courage, honor and patriotism.
Thank You,
An Anonymous Vet

After decades of rule by brutal military leaders, the people of Burma(or Myanmar) see a glimmer of hope emerging from dark skies. One year to the day she was released from house arrest, Aung San Suu Kyi iss highly pleased with conversations of the new president, Thein Sein who has promised to allow free elections in the coming years.Thein Sein has legalized unions and relaxed strict censorship on the media. He has even freed a few hundred political prisoners from the horror of a Burmese jail.
Tidings of good news are accompanied by continued attacks by the Burmese army on ethnic groups and continued reports of rape of women by soldiers. Ms. Suu Kyi believes the president wants to achieve "real positive change."
Questions remain as to whether other generals will allow this emerging freedom? The future will reveal whether his efforts were a beginning that was halted or whether Burma finally will become a democratic society.

Volkswagen Beetle Recall 12V540000
The Passenger Airbag May Deploy With a Child Safety Seat Installed on the Right Front Seat
Vehicles with leather sports seats are being recalled. If the right front seat gets wet, the airbag system may not detect the presence of a child safety seat placed on that seat and deploy inadvertently.
As of this writing, Volkswagen has not yet released a notification schedule for this recall. There may be no symptoms related to this recall, using child seat only in the rear seats would be advisable until this recall is completed. If you don't receive notification and you feel you should have, please contact your dealer. It's helpful to have your vehicle identification number (VIN) handy when you call.
On 2012 and 2013 VW Beetles equipped with leather sport seats, if the right front seat were to get wet, the airbag system my not properly detect the presence of a child safety seat installed on that seat. In the event of a crash, this could cause the passenger airbag to deploy with a safety seat installed, which it should not do. This would result in an increased risk of injury to a child secured in the child seat. Volkswagen with replace the control module to correct this concern. The Volkswagen recall number is 69i9/W6.
November 15, 2012
Volkswagen is recalling certain model year 2012-2013 Beetle vehicles, manufactured from February 2012, through August 2012, and equipped with leather sport seats. If the right front passenger seat gets wet, the occupant control module may not properly detect the presence of a child restraint installed in the seat.
If the control module does not detect a child seat installed, the airbag will not turn off. If the airbag does not turn off, in the event of a crash necessitating front airbag deployment, a child secured in the child seat may be at an increased risk for serious injury.
Volkswagen will notify owners, and replace the control modules, free of charge. The manufacturer has not yet provided a notification schedule. Owners may contact Volkswagen at 1-800-822-8987.
Volkswagen's campaign recall number is 69i9/W6. Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.

Why You Should Care About the Hobby Lobby Case—And Be Alarmed
Posted By Kevin DeYoung On January 8, 2013 @ 5:55 am In Uncategorized | 69 Comments
The facts are well known: the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (aka Obamacare) requires employers to provide insurance for their employees. As part of the mandated health coverage, businesses must include contraceptives and abortifacient drugs in their insurance plans. Hobby Lobby, owned by the Green family (strong Christians and generous philanthropists), is refusing to comply with the HHS mandate, believing that the government is requiring what is unethical and infringing upon their religious liberty. Perhaps it is tragically fitting that Justice Sotomayor denied Hobby Lobby judicial relief [1] on December 26—St. Stephen's Day, the day the church remembers its first martyr.
Millions of Americans are already outraged. And rightly so. Our government not only allows for abortion, and celebrates abortion rights, and wants women to have unfettered access to abortion on demand, it now requires other Americans to pay for abortion-inducing drugs or face crippling fines. It is not an endorsement of any political party to conclude that this policy is morally degenerate. More Americans should be alarmed [2] than are already.
The Department of Justice's brief filed in October [3] makes a number of arguments (in opposition to the Greens) which bear closer scrutiny and ought to arouse no small degree of concern. I'm no legal scholar, but as a Christian citizen and an American worried about our liberties, I would ask questions like these:
I'm a pastor, not a lawyer, justice, or politician. But let us pray for all of the above, that they may do justice, love kindness, and walk humbly with God. Religious liberty is a precious gift we think too little of, and we will miss it sorely when it's gone.

Life Without Limits is an inspiring book by an extraordinary man. Born without arms or legs, Nick Vujicic overcame his disability to live not just independently but a rich, fulfilling life, becoming a model for anyone seeking true happiness. Now an internationally successful motivational speaker, his central message is that the most important goal for anyone is to find their lifes purpose despite whatever difficulties or seemingly impossible odds stand in their way.
Nick tells the story of his physical disabilities and the emotional battle he endured trying to deal with them as a child, a teen, and a young adult. "For the longest, loneliest time, I wondered if there was anyone on earth like me, and whether there was any purpose to my life other than pain and humiliation." He shares how his faith in God has been his central source of strength and explains that once he found his own sense of purposeinspiring others to make their lives and the world betterhe found the confidence to build a rewarding and productive life without limits.
Nick offers practical advice for realizing a life of fulfillment and happiness by building trust in others, developing supportive relationships, and gaining strength for the journey. He encourages the reader by showing how he learned to accept what he could not control and focus instead on what he could.
"I do believe my life has no limits! I want you to feel the same way about your life, no matter what your challenges may be. As we begin our journey together, please take a moment to think about any limitations youve placed on your life or that youve allowed others to place on it. Now think about what it would be like to be free of those limitations. What would your life be if anything were possible?"
Nick Vujicic, from Life Without Limits

Ok so i just got my carry permit here in the great state of maine and have a major question. when if at all and how to tell my sons that i carry every day? They are 8 and 6 we have discussed gun safety here at home and my 8 year old is one of the better shots with a .22 in his scout den. they understand guns and the damage being unsafe causes but should they, could they understand my choice to protect my family?
Some Kids respond differently , Honesty always helps by taking some of the curiosity out of it.
Why Would A Preacher ever need a Gun? Its Not for the Sheep , its for the Wolves!

ya true i mean they know i have it we have gone to the pit to shoot as a family and i shot with them there just dont know how to explain daddys got a gun in his pants. god willing ill never need it or only need it when they arnt around!
My daughters are huggers, 9 and 11 so they generally bump into it. I do know that there have been occasions where my older daughter gave me a hug just to comfort herself that I was carrying. They do not discuss it outside the family but that is just my girls.
Assault is a type of behavior, not a type of hardware.
How can you praise freedom, and condemn that which gains and preserves it?
If I get a CPL I wouldn't tell my kids. Unless it some how came up. I have 2 that are young my son is 1 and my daughter is 3. If my daughter knows it everyone else does. The house alarm went off so my daughter woke up to the alarm. She came out of her room and saw me standing in the hall with my pistol trained on the stairs till the cops showed up. Now everyone knows about that night.
Each kid is different. I know my 6 year old son asked me about it when I started to carry I told him that it was to protect him from BG. For him that was good enough. My 5 year old daughter has never said a word and she knows I just think she is so use to it she does not relize it is there. My 13 year old step son I sat down with him and talked to him about it. I told him that he is not to tell anyone not even his daddy. Me carrying is not for anyone to know about. I have gone through classes and checks that the law says I can carry but we don't tell anyone. He has listen so far. I have had a harder time with my wife then the kids. IMO I would sit down and talk with them that way if they see it when you are out they don't yell "daddy why are you carrying a gun" and everyone know at that point.

My daughter is 6 years old, and she fully aware that I carry, and to her its no big deal. She knows that sometimes bad things can happen and that "Daddy wants to protect us". She knows complete gun safety, can recite the rules, and knows not to touch the guns. I have worked very hard on her with gun safety, and knowledge. She even has her own, (A little Pink BB gun) that she has not shot yet because her attention span has been too short. But she knows its hers, and is waiting impatiently to give it try.
Her favorite activity is going to the little shooting gallery at Cabellas and she will shoot the pants off of some of the boy's and even adults. She can consistently get 15-16 shots out of 20 without a single bit of help.
"Gun Free Zones" is where only criminals carry guns.
My 12 y/o knows we have guns in the house, and have applied for our CPL's and knows all the safety rules about guns, both at home and at friends houses.
I have been letting her handle my MK III under my suprvision when I know it's not loaded. She knows well enough to point it in a safe direction, check for the safety, magazine and bullet in a chamber.If warmer weather ever returns we will take her to an outdoor range and let her learn how to shoot it. We go through the drill about once a week and after I have been to the range we clean it together.
She knows when I'm home alone or home with just her it's on my strong side and it doesn't bother her.
She is also aware that she is not to discuss the guns in the house with anyone. What goes on in our house and what things we own are not public business. I explained to her that criminals don't purchase guns legally and I don't want strangers knowing what we have in our home.

Introduce your kids to firearms, as early in their lives as you can.
Teach them that other than safety first, firearms are nothing out of the ordinary.
My dad use to:
Teach me that using a firearm is fun, and learning how to be proficient with one is challenging. He would take the time to show me how to shoot a rifle and pistol, and encourage me to shoot often.
If they should ask why you carry a pistol?
Tell them that being able to provide safety and security for the family is part of being a man, and father.
I would think this is the perfect opportunity to introduce your kids to this "chapter" of gun safety, and carrying. Since the 8 year old already is a shooter, if he finds out you've started carrying and preferred to keep it hidden from the kids, he might take that as a hint (not the right word to explain my thought) and start to be secretive or hide stuff from you, now or in the future...not to be malicious or sneaky, but thinking that hiding stuff/being secretive is OK.
It's all in the training. My 5yo doesn't talk about the gun on mommy's hip, etc. She knows that her dad and I carry for protection, etc. In bathrooms, she does not mention it, giggle, etc. Now, my 3 year old is a different story. He's still a bit young, so I feel more like a broken record with him, but he's getting it.
I think honesty with your kids is the best policy. They are at good ages for training and understanding reasons to carry, and will do just fine.
"Let me control the textbooks, and I will control the state." - Adolf Hitler
I have 4 kids: 11, 9, 6, 3. They all have known that I carry from the first day I began a couple of years ago. We made it very plain and simple to them that I carry and that they are welcome to handle and shoot any gun in the house if they ask to. They go to the range with us, so they know what guns do (and it goes a long way to keeping their hands off of them when they are little, too!).
What we decided is that I CC for my protection and my family, not for anyone else. So I don't hide the fact that I CC per se; I just don't spread it around.
So that is how we have raised the kids. We know that dad carries and if someone else does too that is okay, but there's no more reason to talk about the firearm on dad's hip than there is to talk about what kind of underwear they are wearing. It's just something that is not public conversation.
When someone asks my older two (it's happened once or twice...I pastor a church so everyone knows me, plus I am a hugger) their stock response is "don't ask me, ask him!" That puts the ball in the kids' court and allows me to explain to parents if I feel the need.
I am glad that you have tried to think through this about your kids and be proactive. That, IMAO, is a very wise decision.

At this point i'm unsure about purchasing from them in the future, a company is only as good as their word.
I stopped ordering from them, for this same exact reason. I placed an order with them one time, nothing crazy expensive a drivers side window regulator and a quart of oil order total was 75-80 bucks. UPS delivers the package some dipshit where I live decides to steal the package. I call FCP and ask if they can resend the same order they tell me I have to pay for those items again or file a claim with UPS and wait to get my money back from UPS and then FCP will redeliver the same items at no cost again. I have spent hundreds of dollars with these guys, placing orders almost every week and instead of FCP sending the items back to me as a gesture of good faith business with good customers, they rather you go through the process of trying to get your money back on your own. So here is the kicker, 1 month went by, because FCP wouldn't redeliver the order and UPS wouldn't give me any info on the claim, they always tell me to contact FCP. So back and forth with this nonsense over a 75-80 dollar order, so I call them and ask what's the status of the claim......they say oh that claim was paid on (a week prior), would you like us to redeliver the order? Mind you FCP should have called me and asked me if I wanted my money back or reship the stolen items. The moral is had I not called back and followed up they would've just kept the claim money and the original purchase. I told them yes I want those reshipped and consider that my last order with you guys, thanks. I order my stuff from ECS or Eeuroparts customer service is 100 percent better and although the prices are slightly higher than FCP, customer service to me goes a long way, those FCP guys need a lot of that.

Here comes the last post of the eco-friendly challenge supported by Kellogg's Special K for their initiative "Change for the better". My personal challenge was to be more friendly with the environment by using sustainable cosmetics, choose ecological restaurants, and add eco-friendly clothes to my wardrobe in order to support fair trade. It's been a great resolution that I'm trying to keep, as being concerned with fair production and working conditions is something that we should always have in mind. So, here you have a selection of some of the nicest eco-friendly fashion labels!
Ecoalf is a Spanish label founded by Javier Goyeneche, who also created the brand Fun & Basics. Ecoalf is based on the idea of using recycled materials from used plastic bottles, wire, fiber, fishnets, and coffee waste, to create simple yet nice pieces. They are specialized in accessories (backpacks, handbags, laptop cases), ski jackets, coats… They've collaborated with major stores such as Barney's, and even Gwyneth Paltrow! Ecoalf created a capsule collection for Gwyneth's site Goop. I love their manifesto and their designs. It's one of my favourites.
Maiyet recovers old techniques from far-away villages and creates elegant collections using eco-friendly materials and fair trade work. It's considerably more expensive than the average. Their lovely campaigns are shot by Cass Bird with Daria Werbowy.
Edun was founded by Ali Hewson and Bono to promote trade in Africa. It's now owned by LVMH too. The clothes are designed by Danielle Sherman and were showcased in New York Fashion Week. Almost 85% of the clothes are produced in sub-saharian Africa in adequate working conditions.
Honest by is an online store that features different designers that create collections defined as sustainable, vegan, organic or skin friendly. Some of the creators you can find there are Bruno Pieters, Calla, Nicolas Andreas, Taralis, Maison des Talons…
To describe Awamaki I'd like to use their own words: "Awamaki is a Peruvian non-profit working with indigenous Quechua women weavers to improve their skills and increase their access to market, thereby revitalizing an endangered weaving tradition while affording Quechua women a reliable source of income in the district of Ollantaytambo. Awamaki Lab is a six-month fashion design residency that gives young designers the opportunity to develop a capsule collection in partnership with Awamaki and its weavers' association."
Elroy works with manufacturers in low income areas in order to support fair trade and help these communities develop. One of their best pieces are the knit sweaters.
Feral Childe is a label created by Moriah Carlson and Alice Wu that uses natural fabrics, upcycled materials, vintage pieces and other sustainable materials in order to produce their collections, which are manufactured in the Garment Center, New York.
Laene Scandinavia is a "performance-driven eco-tech fashion made ethically and sustainably in a Bluedesign approved factory, using a minimum waste production, on-demand circular knitted and bonded garments." Wow!
Study New York is a label founded by Tara St James that offers ethical contemporary designs entirely produced in New York City using sustainable materials.

2009 Olson Ogden Syrah Unti Vineyard
Retail: $45.00
$39.98per bottle
750 mL
Closure Type
Syrah / Shiraz
currant, blueberry, blackberry and strawberry
spice box, cedar and dark fruit
Product Description:
"This wine has a wonderful nose of black cherry fruit, new leather, mocha/cocoa, spice and white pepper. A full-bodied yet elegant wine with excellent balance, great structure and firm but mature tannins. There are textured, complex layers of cherry and wild berry fruits with earth and minerals on the palate followed by a long, lingering finish. This wine will show its best in 3 to 7 years but try it when still young over several days and you will see how this wine will blossom with some time in the cellar." - Tim Olson, Winemaker
"George Unti and his team, led by Vineyard Manager Levi Glen are committed to growing great grapes and their dedication shows in the quality of wines coming out of this great vineyard. They rely on traditional farming techniques while incorporating the latest technology and innovations. Their experimentation with new clones and high density planting continues to yield impressive results."
"After years of farming sustainably, in 2004 the Unti's began using biodynamic vineyard practices in order to make the vines more self-sustaining and adaptive to their natural environment. Having worked with the vineyard since 2001, we have noticed a shift in the wines' personality. The wines have taken on more minerality and show more depth and range in the core of fruit that defines the wines." - Winery
"Olson Ogden Wines is a small, artisan wine company located in the Russian River Valley of Sonoma County. We specialize in small production, handcrafted wines. Our focus is on Pinot Noir and Rhone varietals, with an emphasis on vineyard designated Syrah's. We seek out passionate growers with special vineyards."
"Our primary goal is to produce complex and intense wines that express the terroir and vintage from which they come. Our winemaking philosophy has its roots in traditional methods but is tempered by trial and error and creative innovation. Each wine produced is an expression of the appellation and/or vineyard it comes from. Our wines are usually bottled unfined and unfiltered and will likely contain a natural sediment during their evolution. This results in an authentic and honest wine that is rich and complex and a pleasure to drink." - Winery
This was also rated 87 Points by the Wine Spectator.

Focus Fanatic
Outstanding Driver's Cars you've driven? (Long - wanting opinions)
Thought perhaps you all may be able to help me with my research. Though I'm not looking to replace it immediately, I drive an SVT and, while very good, in my honest opinion it falls down in some catagories as a driver's car. I don't want to get jabbed for that, it's a matter of opinion. I could talk all day about what I like, but the list of things that need improving, and what I will need in a more optimal car, consists of:
Seats: I cannot stay comfortable in the cloth-insert SVT seats. I'm betting the Recaro's are better, but, well, I dont drive an EAP car. The seat bottom angle, while adjustable, isnt quite right, the lumbar support is in the wrong place on me (I'm about average sized, 5'-9"), and side support, while good, is not good enough.
Ergonomics: This is a big point for me. To be quite honest, I think they botched the Mk1 interior ergonomics. The relationship between the wheel, pedals and shifter is not optimal. To get the wheel close enough, the pedals feel too close, though I'm getting more and more used to this. The shifter is located too far forward, and too low. You're all probably going to hate the comparison, but the 02-05 SI's shifter (I test drove one) was located very well in my opinion (didn't like how lifeless it was tho), close to the wheel both laterally and vertically. One of the ways to get the shifter where I want it would be with a tall center console, which I understand wouldnt work in a family car, and the Focus needs to be family friendly to stay marketable, so I understand that. Finishing off this catagory, the mounting location for the radio is such that the right side of my Pioneer deck is too far away, the buttons over there (like Eject and audio settings, in this case) are uncomfortably far away. And, there's no flat spot on the top of the dash for me to set my cellphone while I drive, my Neon had a nice flat top that I put one of those no-slip pads on, cell stayed put and was easy to grab if I got a call.
Summary is just that the car's interior doesn't feel like a cockpit, its more like my desk at work. I dont want to reach and turn to get to my car's controls, ideally they're all in hand.
Steering: I haven't driven a base Focus, I know the SVT's power assist boost was lowered some 30%, but to me it still feels over-boosted. This is a relativly small point, except that, either because of the boost or something else, the wheel doesn't do a good enough job telling me what the tires are doing. It feels very isolated, maybe they used thick rubber bushings somewhere to reduce vibration, but whatever the reason, it makes the car harder to drive in bad winter conditions than my previous car (I hate to compare the SVT to my 97 base-model Neon, but there it is, don't damn it until you drive it ). This seems more and more common in modern cars, the SI I test drove seemed similar, so this may be a point I need to let go.
I would gripe about the feel of the Getrag, but I recently flushed with RP synchromax and removed the inertial counterweight and its a new creature, I dont mind it nearly so much now.
The point of this novella is that at some point, probably not this summer but perhaps next, I may be replacing the SVT. There is so much I love about this car that I can afford to be picky, very picky, because I'm not exactly suffering on the meantime, but I am looking for a very very good Driver's Car.
All of the above points are deeply important. Power is not a big deal for me, honestly the SVT is more than I need to have a good time, I'd hapily trade 20 or 30 HP for a cockpit that fit me like a Durex . Good mileage would be nice, but my baseline is 25mpg on premium (what I get now). What I do want is drivetrain flexibility, which will probably come in the form of less power and tighter gearing. I love the highway speed flexibility of the SVT, never having to downshift, and 6th gear steady accel like its in a vacuum. So, what I'd like from any of you are cars you've driven in, been driven around in, or even just heard strongly about, that would fulfil these requirements of mine. If I'm gonna drop the cash for a new vehicle, it might as well be as close to correct as possible.
Cars I'm currently wondering about:
2000+ Toyota Celica
1999-2005 Subaru 2.5RS (money I save in insurance is probably worth not getting the WRX)
1997 240SX, tho almost certainly too old at this point...
Late model Tiburon GT
2000+ Mazda Miata (I think I can swing a 2-seater for a few more years)
My rule of thumb is $15,000 or less.
Thanks for reading, you esteemed input is appreciated!

Honestly.. I can sit here and give you alternatives to everthing you just said... but I dont cause I dont have the time and I dont think I could change your mind. With that said, its whatever feels better to you, I like the celica, subaru 2.5, and mazda 3.
Since you seem to want comfert the miata might not be the way to go but hey test drive them all if you have to!
Oh yeah for the cell since I can set mine to ring and vibrate at the same time I put it on the seat between my legs. That way I can feel it becuase if its in my cup holder the shelf my head unit gave me I can hear it with the sub on. Only problem is when you try to get out the car really fast and forget its there.. *bam* but hey whats another scratch on my cell its already got a ton.
2005 Focus ZX3: -------------- 15.17 at 93.25

I think you might like the Subie the best. I'd suggest going for an early Rex, but the 2.5RS is good also. Has a good engine, good trans, good interior ergonomics,but you'll want to upgrade the seats.

Current Mods: Silverstars, iPad radio/navigation, center muffler delete, Hella 700FF driving lights, brakes, Red/White footwell LED's, lock-switch lights, Tigger doll from GF

i think out of all those, the miata would be the most fun to drive.

I've sat in new Miata two days ago. It certainly hugs you, but my pecker is not used to being so close to pavement... but it was comfy

Just like I am a lesbian trapped in a male body, my Focus is RS trapped in ZX3 body.

I've actually been reading a lot of good things on the Tib. People don't like the weight and, as a consequence, the handling. I know there arent many cars on the market that'll handle like the SVT, its something I'll need to weigh during a test drive. People do, however, like the seats, the ergonomics, the 6 speed MTX, and the feature content. Oh, and the styling. From the sound of it, I might be able to "fix" the handling with a beefy rear sway, since it apparently just wants to plow into nose-heavy understeer.
If I get a chance to test any of these this weekend I'll update with my ergonomics report

Funny thing a few month ago when I'd reported an incident at my home (turned out to be a false alarm) that just by chance occurred the day and at a time when I was playing MW2 some folk here took that as an opportunity to make jabs at me in general and my situation as in specific.
As though playing video games is exclusively the domain of children and so called"Mall Ninjas". Neither of which I am.
I play very regularly with a group of very much adult automotive board members that I've known of for years, as well as a 'clan' of also adult dudes & parents as going back to RB:6 Vegas.

Night flight of dread and delight
´Jacobs Ladder´ in a mixed technique on paper recalls Jacob in the Old Testament in Bethel, where ´he dreamed of a ladder reaching from the earth to the sky, with God´s angels flitting up and down,´ as it is written in the first book of Moses. In this dream God appears, promising Jacob land, numerous offspring and his protection, but Skunder Boghassian´s shows the ladder with neither Jacob nor angels but only two scrolls/toras attached. The scene is mainly greyish and, owing to Skunder Boghassian´s way of organising space through innumerable points and ornaments, looks supernatural and cosmic. Though little more than a ladder is shown, the atmosphere is miraculous.
Besides painting and drawing, Skunder Boghassian also made sculpture. The aluminium relief ´Nexus´ (2001) was made together with the Ethiopian artist Kebedech Tekleab for the Ethiopian Embassy in Washington D.C., where it was mounted on a granite wall round the compound. The relief consists of two lengthy rhombs, consisting in turn of several geometrical units arranged symmetrically to the left and right of a circular object. On it there are decorative motifs, typical musical instruments and flora and fauna, and various patterns and symbols from Christian, Jewish, Islamic and other spiritual traditions found in Ethiopia. In effect the work is a compendium of Ethiopian nature and nurture and blends traditional and modern aesthetic canons.
(Translated by Phil Stanway)
In 1984 he was handed the Certificate of Appreciation of the United Nations´ Special Committee against Apartheid by the mayor of the District of Columbia, Marion Barry.
Skunder Boghassian is one of Africa´s best-known modern artists, and his works continue to be shown at many international exhibitions. He was the first Ethiopian artist to have his works bought by the Musée d´Art moderne de la Ville de Paris and the Museum of Modern Art in New York, and a set of his works was bought by the Smithsonian Institution in 1992.
Skunder Boghassian died on the 4th of May 2003 at the age of 65 in Washington D.C.

Woman Busted Smuggling Cocaine In Her Breast Implants
The 43-year-old Venezuela national had been on a flight from Bogota, which is seen by police as a common route for narcotics to be trafficked into Europe. According to AFP, the police said "the gestures and behavior of a supposed tourist raised the suspicions of narcotics agents." Her baggage was searched, but the police did not find anything suspicious. However, when female officers conducted a body search, they discovered "certain irregularities and deformations in both breasts." The woman was then taken to hospital, after admitting to officers that she was carrying cocaine in her breast implants. After doctors subsequently removed the implants, they found 1.7 kilograms of the drug hidden inside them. Although unusual, it is not the first time that Spanish police have encountered a woman trying to smuggle drugs by using breast implants. In 2012, police in Barcelona arrested a woman from Panama who was carrying just under 1.4 kilos of cocaine in her breast implants. She was also on a flight from Bogota. When border police discovered fresh scars and blood-stained gauze on the woman's chest she was taken to a nearby hospital to check her claim that she had recently undergone breast implant surgery.

Jim McCarthy, magazine designer and debauchee, gets into a whole load of trouble when the past catches up with him.
Problem is, it's not his past. He must deal with a deranged boss, a celebrity girlfriend and strange text messages on his phone from God knows who as he is nudged towards the unearthing of an dark secret and a horrific discovery.
Along the way, he breaks hearts, helps shape the Britpop scene, infuriates the wrong man to a terrifying degree, frees a restless spirit and eventually realises that he's not the wonderful person he once thought he was.
Jim and his colleague Jennie are at an art gallery opening, when a brief acquaintance of his, an up-and-coming actress, appears.
He walked over to the table where glasses were being topped up.
'Ah, Mister Mysterious Irishman. What brings you here?'
Jim turned to locate a deliciously purring voice.
'Is one of those for me?' Laura Chalke pointed to the wine in his hands.
Jim looked over to where Jennie was waiting for him, saw her smile and roll her eyes up to heaven, saw her grab a glass from a passing waiter and salute him.
'It could be,' Jim said with an excited smile. 'That all depends on how much you want it.'
He watched Laura's eyes sparkle as she smiled and shook her head at his cheesy line.
'Ah yes,' she said, 'but then again it could be for your colleague over there. Are you two an item, if you don't mind me asking? The only time I've ever seen you has been by her side.'
Jim watched Jennie talking to some random stranger.
'What if I were to say we are an item? Would you believe that?'
'I could believe whatever you want me to believe. Or not.'
'So we're not an item. Does that satisfy you?'
'It's not a matter of satisfaction,' Laura said.
'Everything's a matter of satisfaction.'
'I guess you have a point.'
He raised his eyebrows as he sipped some wine.
'I never got your name,' she said. She draped her cool fingers on his arm, making the hairs spring up like unleashed coils.
'I never gave it.'
'Do you give your name out or do you prefer to be a man of mystery, aloof and up yourself?'
'Both. It's Jim. Jim McCarthy.'
'Laura. Laura Chalke.'
She offered her hand up to be kissed. Jim took it softly and placed his lips lightly on her soft skin.
'You kiss like a gentleman,' Laura said.
'I do now, don't I?' he said, laying on the brogue heavily. 'I'm working on you at the moment, you know.'
'I dare say you are.'
'On the magazine, that is. You'd be amazed at how much of you I see during the day.'
'You'd be amazed at how much more there is to see.' Jim could not help but drink a little wine to settle his flow.
This is just a bit of dialogue though. Surely the BBC could have chosen a nice chunk of prose to give this guy a fair shot? Any chance of a bit more so we can really judge whether this guy can write and deserves my hard-earned £7.99?John, London
There's a whiff of sour grapes in the comments. "Paragraph about Jennie watching Jim from the other side of the room is very wrong grammatically." That's not exactly the best grammar I've ever come across...
Jo, Cardiff
You're all meanies! Who could resist this professional Irish schmoozer? The corny, smooth-as-Guinness chat-up lines are surely the point. I love it! Rosy, Cambridgeshire
Utter rubbish... more pleaseLuke, Kent
Wow - take it easy guys (I'm talking about those that have commented so far). This is someone's hard work here, perhaps even a dream, and deserves far more constructive critism than your nasty put downs (I'd like to see you miserable lot toil over something as hard as writing a novel). Michael - as mentioned it is a little cliched, but don't let that stop you. It just needs a little more work put into it. Keep going, mate!a fellow unpublished author, chepstow
Very amateurish and cliche ridden - 'That all depends on how much you want it'? Please!Diane, Knaresborough
Dialogue is thoroughly unconvincing, stilted and lacking in humanity. Paragraph about Jennie watching Jim from the other side of the room is very wrong grammatically. Sorry! Laura, London
I've just got into the world of magazine design, so would be very interested to read the rest of this novel. Ruth, Bath
It doesn't seem like it would be my sort of thing. Presumably, this is meant to be one of those cheesy 'romance' novels that you can buy for £1.99 in chemists. It's cliched and awkward, and the dialogue reads like a made-for-TV movie. Don't meant to sound harsh, but surely you can do better than this? imogen, london
A bit cliched - nearly as bad as my own efforts. The crowd turned as one and gasped! The thumb - the all-telling thumb - was turned down. As so should this book be!simon, bradford, england

Adobe Theater Directing Opportunities
The Adobe Theater will present ten shows annually. The theme for the 2017 season is "The Classics: Past, Present and Future." Our Artistic Committee will review all submissions made by directors for recommendation to our Board, and new talent is welcome! Please use the attached form to submit a complete and thorough proposal. The more detail included in a proposal, the better chance it will have for being selected. Use the links below to download the proposal form in the format that works best for you.
|Director's Proposal in MS Word format
|Director's Proposal in Adobe PDF
Note that gender parity will be considered as a factor in selecting the season. Not all plays have to include an equal number of male and female roles, but gender parity will be considered throughout the season. For example, if a show with an all-female cast is produced, it will be balanced by a follow-on show with a large number of male roles.
Published works generally have the best chance of acceptance, but original scripts will be considered. However, unpublished works MUST be submitted by a committed director.
Please submit a copy of your proposal, a copy of your proposed script (and a CD with music if proposing a musical). Copies may be actual printed scripts, photocopies, or a combination of the two. Proposals to direct in 2017 must be submitted by 15 June, 2016.
Please submit your proposal via email to email@example.com. If you do not have access to email, please leave a message on the business line at 505-898-9222 to arrange for postal mail or hand delivery of the proposal; please specify your message is for the Artistic Committee.
If your proposal is accepted, the Adobe Theater will produce the play. This includes, but is not limited to: paying royalties, providing publicity and facilities, staffing the box office and providing a show budget of $500. The Adobe also pays a small stipend to Directors ($250) and Stage Managers ($150) once all receipts and theater keys have been turned in when the run of the show is completed.
If your play is selected for production, you will also be assigned a Production Coordinator from the Adobe Board to assist you throughout the process. Directors are expected to recruit sufficient technical staff, including that for set design and construction, costumes, props, lighting and sound and running crew. However, we can assist with recruitment if you run into difficulties.
Thank you for your interest in directing at The Adobe Theater. Please contact our Artistic Committee chairperson Kathleen Welker (firstname.lastname@example.com) with any additional questions.
NOTE: The Adobe Theater is committed to open casting and encourages directors to provide auditions that offer full access and casting opportunities to all community actors.
~The Adobe Theater Artistic Committee and Board of Directors

- Stylist:
- Dee
Mar 04, 2010 - I was told about this Salon by a customer of mine. I asked her where she gets her hair cut because her curls are fantastic. All of the stylists in this Salon have been personally trained by Ouidad and are awesome. I was lucky enough to choose Dee. She is so wonderful!!! I have been to her several times. I will continue to recommend her and this Salon to any curly haired person I can. And now that I have had my hair cut by a real expert (not one who thinks they can cut curly) I see other people out and about and want to pull them aside and tell them call The Styling Hutch you don't have o live with your hair looking like that any more.

Apple CEO On Track for June Return
"He'll be back."
Although that might sound like a line ripped straight out of Christian Bale's forthcoming Terminator movie, the resurrection that has everyone talking this week concerns none other than Apple chief Steve Jobs. And according to Apple, the boss never really left.
For the last nine months or so, speculation has been rampant that Jobs, whose face is as synonymous with Apple as the nibbled fruit, might not return to his lofty post atop the Cupertino, California-based company. Ever since the false Bloomberg report that Jobs was dead, the media has buzzed that the enigmatic leader was tormented by unknown health issues.Back in January, the best guess was that Jobs may have been suffering a reprisal of the pancreatic cancer that threatened his life several years ago until surgery brought him back to better health.
On Tuesday, Apple shareholders gathered at Apple's Cupertino corporate campus and continued their pursuit of details regarding Jobs' health. They didn't get a whole heck of a lot of information out of Apple's executives, but they did receive some encouraging news on Jobs' status. (Source: reuters.com)
Job June Return Still Planned
"[Steve] is deeply involved in all strategic matters and has delegated day-to-day authority to Tim Cook and his team," remarked Apple's co-lead director, Arthur Levinson. "That's where it stands."
Levinson, who is also the chief executive of Genentech, admitted that Apple's board had discussed succession of Jobs' title several times, but that no decision had been made. "If there is new information we deem of import to disclose, that will happen." (Source: nytimes.com)
More encouraging news came from Timothy Cook, Apple's chief operating officer. According to reports, he assured shareholders that Jobs still planned to return to the company in June.
Still, most shareholders were unimpressed. AFL-CIO Reserve Fund representative Brandon Rees criticized Apple for not being more forthright with information on Jobs' health, a matter that has direct implications for the company's stock value. "I was disappointed by the fact that the board was not more transparent about the health of Mr. Jobs in addition to a succession plan," Rees said.
Jobs obviously wasn't present at the meeting, which might have made it rather uncomfortable when several stockholders stood to sing "Happy Birthday". Jobs' 54th passed on Tuesday.

Not even EnergySolutions Arena is big enough to contain Utah's love for Brian Regan.
The family-friendly comic, scheduled to play ESA on Friday, Feb. 28, has added a second show at the Salt Lake City basketball arena on Saturday, March 1.
Tickets for the second show go on sale Friday, 10 a.m., at Smith's Tix outlets. Tickets range from $35 to $56.50.

|How has crate training been going? Our pup has problems when we leave the room without her, but if we put her in her crate she does great. A sense of security maybe? Also wearing them out helps a ton.... And a kong with frozen peanutbutter
One of the many reasons we go to responsible breeders is for situations like this. Call them up for hints/tips/suggestions. Also find out how all the littermates are doing and what seems to be working with them.
Think you need to way up what you are doing WITH her when you are home so she gets tired out.
Just getting the necessary start on --> http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum...s-puppies.html will help because there is alot we can do to helpl
Are you crate training? One of the many reasons we do it, besides just housebreaking, is because when done properly the pups crate is a safe haven so calms and comforts our pups when they are in it. --> http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum...uppy-cage.html
Some screaming is NORMAL because it's what puppies do when the USED to be surrounded by all their littermates and mom and then suddenly have been jerked away forever to an entirely new/strange/scary LIFE. So she isn't actually even just screaming to 'inform' you that she's stuck and can't get to everyone (she is communicating by the way....). She's more likely then not still screaming for her mom and littermates too.
So leaving her initially for short times. Leaving her with toys/kongs with treats to keep her busy. TIRING HER OUT.
There is also more training you can do utilyzing the crate that's helps make it more fun and has us doing some 'work' too Crate Games by Susan Garrett
Congratulations on your new pup! My boy has serious separation anxiety too. Luckily he has never chewed on himself. I have always been with him. I was advised to try and have other family members do things for him like feed or walk, brush etc. He still wants to be with me all the time,
and gets upset when he can't. But as he has gotten older he has gotten a lilt bit better.

Separation anxiety...HELP! (brand new puppy!)
We just got a german shepherd puppy on Christmas eve and she has been dealing with some separation anxiety. Whenever I leave the room, even if someone is with her she will cry and whimper until I return. However, today while we were out, we came home to find she had been screaming and my mom walked in and she was chewing on her paws(self inflicting pain, I suppose). My question is what are some things I can do to keep her calm while we're away and what are some methods that have worked for you. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
This is our little princess, Riley

Market News
Wednesday midday cash livestock markets
Direct cash cattle markets are quiet at midday on Wednesday. There are a few bids at $125 on the live basis in Kansas and Texas and $200 to $202 dressed in Nebraska, and we could start to see more as the day moves on but that may depend on how the futures trade goes. Asking prices are around $130 in the South and $207 in the North. Widespread business isn't expected until Thursday or Friday.
Boxed beef at midday was modestly higher with Choice up $.58 at $192 and Select $.20 higher at $189.42.
Today's cattle slaughter is expected to be around 121,000 head, which would be up on the week but down on the year.
At Tuesday's feeder auction in Kingsville, Missouri, steers weighing less than 650 pounds were $6 to $12 higher, while steers over 650 were $3 to $7 higher, and heifers were mostly $3 to $5 higher. Supply and demand were both called good to very good. Steers and bulls made up most of the feeder run with 57% of the steers weighing more than 600 pounds. 600 to 699 pound feeder steers sold at $175 to $191 and 520 to 591 pound feeder heifers ranged from $130 to $147.
For the cash hog trade at midweek, we're looking at a combination of slow country receipts and generally lackluster wholesale demand for pork products. Still, there are some firm quotes for delivery next week as packers try to stay ahead of the seasonal tightening of market ready numbers.
The Eastern Cornbelt direct hog market was the only major direct market reporting, up $.54 with the base price range on barrows and gilts at $72 to $75.21 for a weighted average of $75.06. USDA says there were no hogs traded in the Western Cornbelt or Iowa/Southern Minnesota. Butcher hogs at the terminals are steady to a dollar higher at $49.50 to $54. The Missouri Direct base carcass meat price is steady at $68 to $73 with supply and demand both called light to moderate and sows steady at $48 to $63. Illinois direct sows are steady at $47 to $64 on moderate demand and offerings with boars at $10 to $35.
The average Iowa/Southern Minnesota hog weight of 276.2 pounds was up a half pound on the week but down one point one pounds on the year.
According to USDA, fresh pork cuts were not reported at midday on Wednesday.
Today's hog slaughter is projected at 427,000 head, which would be a little lower than last week but above last year. Saturday's slaughter is estimated at 110,000 head.

Can't find that other trolling thread.
Bit bored today, so thought I'd harass some innocent people just trying to do their job.
David Haye Banana KO:
18:59:46 Richard L has joined this session!
18:59:46 Connected with Richard L
18:59:46 Hi Jim, my name's Richard. How can I help you today?
19:00:21 Hello, I was wondering what odds I could get for the Haye/Valuev fight
19:01:12 all prices can be found on our site under boxing
19:01:23 I know its quite a general thing, but i need a specific request
19:01:39 ok, what is your request
19:02:12 what odds would you give for a man dressed as a gorilla jumping into the ring in round 4 and knocking david haye out with a giant banana?
19:02:29 a million to one
19:02:32 my mates bet me to do it, I thought Id make some cash doing it
19:03:00 is your mate gonna be dressed as the gorilla?
19:03:47 My mate will likely be dressed as another form of primeape, I shall be the only 1 in a gorilla suit
19:04:53 i see, and will he be able to knock him out cos i recon haye will be able to take quite a lot to get knocked out
19:05:25 ok, hang on ill go ask our boxing compiler and see if he is willing to quote you a price
19:05:34 2 mins please
19:05:43 Haye's chin isnt the best, and the giant bannana will be filled with concrete
19:06:46 And if the banana fails, we have an assortment of other fruits to knock Haye out with
19:08:08 ha ha, you should take a sledge hammar and discuses it as a giant banana, that might work
19:08:57 our boxing compiler is not in tonight so unable to get you a price, if you get back to us tomorrow he should be in then and hopefully he might quote you one
19:09:35 Ah well. the star will probably buy my story for millions anyway, they buy everything else
19:10:16 me knocking out a pro boxer with a banana or katie price's fella in a dress..........which 1 would you rather read?
19:12:39 why not go for the double and do both, now that would sell stories, lol
19:14:07 I just dont think you understand it, this is a SERIOUS political message Im trying to make
19:15:54 ok, sorry, but i think for sky bet to quote you a price would be unacceptable and we would be wrong for us to encourage the disruption of a sporting event
19:18:30 plus it would be detrimental towards our company as the fight would be stopped, all bets would have to be made void and we would loose alot of money
19:19:13 My bet wouldnt be void though
19:19:17 so thats a plus
19:20:05 all bets on the match would be and as i have said we would not allow such a bet to be placed with our company that would promote the disruption of a sporting event
19:21:17 good job im joking then?
19:21:56 Yea, Im not actually gonna ko Haye
19:22:17 I see Valuev and his good chin as a better test, so any odds for that?


text: Chillicothe traveled to Logan on October 12th. Despite the encouragement of the Cavalier cheerleaders, the Cavs came out on the short end 28-7. Photos by Dana Cousins wbex.com Purchase photos at http://allthingsarepossiblephotog.com/ Team captains Luke Barnes (2), Ryan Mathis (5), Julius Lee (25) and Ryan Milliken (52) meet with Logan's captains for the coin toss. Ryan Mathis finds a hole through the trenches as the Cavs moved the ball to the Logan 25. Markel Cain makes his way toward midfield despite the efforts of a lunging Dean Jordan (22) of Logan. Trailing 6-0, Cavs QB Ryan Mathis launches a shot for the Cavaliers' only score of the game... Christian Collins was at the other end for his first varsity touchdown reception. Jacob Weber's PAT put the Cavs ahead 7-6. Luke Barnes picked off Logan a pass... ... but a couple of plays later, Logan returned the favor. Isaac Schmeltzer was the workhorse for the Chieftains attack, rushing for 167 yards and three touchdowns. At halftime, fireworks illuminated the Hocking County sky. More shots to the sky The Cavs were caught in the pathway of the halftime performance's smoke trail. Kicker Jacob Weber had to come to the rescue to stop the second half kick return. Markel Cain rushed for 82 yards for the Cavs. Cain's night was cut short after a Logan tackle. He didn't return for the second half. Coach Ron Hinton is hoping his team's passing game will return to its effectiveness from earlier in the season. Chillicothe travels to Jackson October 19th. Photo 1 of 1 Continue Gallery


text: Herbnlife royal rinse shampoo. The consistency is literally like water and it's not great at lathering either. It took me a few tries to learn how to use it without wasting a bunch, I mean the first time I used it I used up a third of the bottle. Now I only use a small amount, maybe even less than regular shampoo. But anyway, despite the consistency and later, I LOVVEEE this stuff! It is my HG shampoo (low-poo actually), it cleans well and leaves my hair full of body, but at the same time, it moisturized, detangler, and leaves my hair ridiculously soft.

Rihanna Hits Up Hyde Nightclub
Celebrating humpday with an exciting evening out, Rihanna showed up at Hyde nightclub in West Hollywood last night (January 23).
The "Umbrella" songstress was joined by some friends as she hopped out of her chauffeured car with a cranky expression on her face.
And once again, Ri-Ri has been flaunting her pot smoking ways with another suspicious picture posted to her Twitter account.
The image was said to be taken during a break in her world tour rehearsal session and was accompanied with the caption, "You a real n****, then phuck wit me! #GOLD."
