Border convoy brings I-10 to a standstill
Border convoy brings I-10 to a standstill
The group that created national controversy at the border in Murietta, California brought their controversy through El Paso on Sunday in a convoy of vehicles. The group says they are a coalition of citizens with a deep concern for what they call "the invasion currently happening." Several of their vehicles, with USA and flag emblems emblazoned or actually painted onto the vehicles, lined up along I-10 where the interstate was at a standstill. Approximately a half-dozen police cars were also on site to help quell two groups at odds; those with the convoy protesting border immigration and those who are pro-immigration. Earlier, police had received reports of shots having been fired near where the standstill took place. After investigating, police found no probable cause to arrest anyone. One man, Greg LeClaire, a contractor from a small town just south of Denver told KVIA he joined the convoy because he feels his rights as a "voting legal American citizen" have been violated and that the the refusal to draw a hard line on immigrants is, he ads,"...a concerted effort to just flood the country with left wing voters I mean, its so obvious out in the open I can't believe I don't hear it stated more."
A pro-immigrant woman who works for a nonprofit that provides books free of charge to immigrant children, Ana Reza, held a sign protesting the border convoy. Reza told KVIA she feels the group is hateful towards children and that the issue is not clear cut, "Life is not as simple as black and white of doing it legally. Back in the day when my mom did it legally when she came from Juarez, you know I'm Mexican-American, it was a lot easier than it is now."

The African National Congress stumbled into its second century yesterday with little rejoicing, amid a clampdown on speeches and after international dignitaries stayed away from a chaotic series of commemorative events.
Yesterday's high-point, a rally in Mangaung – the municipality formerly known as Bloemfontein – almost descended into a stampede after people who had been bussed in from all over the country battled in a heatwave to get seats in the city's World Cup football stadium.
As President Jacob Zuma delivered a lacklustre 50-page speech, the 46,000-capacity Free State Stadium began to empty, only to fill again when the music began.
President Zuma used his speech to promote the party's centenary slogan, "Unity in diversity". Looking solemn and tired, Mr Zuma said black people had been reduced to subjects until they united in 1912 "in selfless struggle" to create the South African Native Congress (SANC), the forerunner to the ANC. He said the ANC "is a broad church that is home".
But the voices of that church were prevented from speaking at yesterday's commemoration. Some branches of the party were instructed to deliver their messages in writing. The move follows months of in-fighting that is likely to get worse in the run-up to a leadership conference in December at which President Zuma is tipped to ask for a second term.
The most high-profile figure in the crisis is the youth league president, Julius Malema, who in an uncomfortable compromise move by the party was suspended last month but remains in his position, pending appeal. Mr Malema refused to supply a centennial message for a booklet handed out at the stadium, instead issuing a press statement.
The ANC is spending 100 million rand (£8m) on events to mark the 100th anniversary. Last week it said 46 heads of state would be among the 1,500 guests at Saturday's gala dinner. However, fewer than 10 turned up.Reuse content

What's evaporative cooler?
Evaporative coolers, often called "swamp coolers", are cooling systems that use only water and a blower to circulate air. When warm, dry (unsaturated) air is pulled through a watersoaked pad, water is evaporated and is absorbed as water vapor into the air.
The air is cooled in the process and the humidity is increased. The evaporator cooling technology is an energy-efficient alternative to compressor-based cooling. In dry and arid regions, evaporative cooling can meet most or all building cooling loads using one-fourth the energy of conventional equipment. It can also be applied costeffectively when integrated with conventional chiller systems, which can greatly improve a facility's load profile.
We are professional manufacturer of all kinds of evaprative air coolers and greenhouse/factory industrial exhaust fans over 10 years. We have advanced production equipment , high technology and many patterns of products .Our consistent belief is "Reputation and quality goes first".

Marcelo Luis Ebrard Casaubón (Spanish pronunciation: [maɾˈselo eˈβɾaɾð]; born October 10, 1959) is a Mexican politician affiliated until 2015 to the Party of the Democratic Revolution (PRD) and current President of the United Nations Global Network on Safer Cities. He previously served as Head of Government of the Federal District of the United Mexican States from December 2006 to December 2012. He also served as Secretary-General of the former Mexican Federal District Department, minister of public security and minister of social development of the Mexican capital. In 2010, Ebrard was nominated as the "world's best mayor" by the Project World Mayor.[1] He was the successful candidate of the PRD-led electoral alliance to serve as Head of Government of the Federal District in the 2006 Federal District election. From 2009 to 2012, he was the Chair of the World Mayors Council on Climate Change.[2]
Personal life and education[edit]
Descendent of the French emigrant wave from Barcelonette in 1915, Ebrard is the son of architect Marcelo Ebrard Maure and Marcela Casaubón. He received a bachelor's degree in international relations from El Colegio de México, and specialized in public administration and planning at the École nationale d'administration of France. He was married to Francesca Ramos Morgan and had two daughters and one son: Francesca, Anne Dominique, and Marcelo Ebrard Ramos.[citation needed] He later divorced and married Mexican soap-opera actress Mariagna Pratts. In April 2011, Marcelo Ebrard announced his divorce from Mariagna Pratts through an official press release.[3] In October 7, 2011; Ebrard married for the third time, with Rosalinda Bueso, former Honduras ambassador to Mexico.[4]
Political career[edit]
Ebrard became a member of the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) in 1978. After volunteering in the presidential campaigns of 1976 and 1982, serving as an advisor to the secretary-general in 1988 and being elected to the Chamber of Deputies, Ebrard Casaubon left the PRI with Manuel Camacho in 1995 to found the now-extinct Party of the Democratic Center (PCD). In 2000 he briefly campaigned for the 2000 Head of Government election for the PCD before stepping down in March 2000 and throwing his support behind Andrés Manuel López Obrador as the candidate of the multi-party Alliance for Mexico City.
Following the election, he joined López Obrador's cabinet as secretary of public security in 2000 and became a member of the Party of the Democratic Revolution on September 12, 2004. On July 8, 2006 French newspaper Le Monde ran an article indicating that Ebrard as an emerging leader of the Mexican Left. Manuel Camacho, for whom Ebrard is a political protégé, has a reputation for running articles in foreign newspapers to indicate his political intentions.[citation needed] Many have seen this as an attempt to dismiss López Obrador and now rely on Ebrard to win the presidency in the 2012 presidential elections.[5] On December 7, 2010, he was awarded the World Mayor prize in recognition of his environmental and civil-rights initiatives within the Federal District.[6]
2006 Head of Government election[edit]
Ebrard ran as the PRD's candidate for Head of Government in the Federal District election held on July 2, 2006, which he won with 47% of the votes.
Nahuatl revival[edit]
Ebrand has stated as a goal the revival of the Nahuatl language. His plan calls for city workers to learn the language as an initial effort in reviving the language.[7]
The city's chief of police, Marcelo Ebrard, and the Federal Secretary of Public Safety, Ramón Huerta, were both accused of not organizing a timely rescue effort when three undercover federal police officers were lynched by a mob in one of the capital's most impoverished suburbs in Tláhuac on November 23, 2004. After a thorough investigation, López Obrador gave Ebrard a vote of confidence, despite a request from President Fox that López Obrador relieve him of his duties. Later, using his constitutional powers, Fox fired Ebrard, in what critics believe was a politically motivated move to derail his political future.[8][9] Ramón Huerta was also implicated in the incident, yet Fox gave Huerta his full support, and did not remove him from office. For this incident Ebrard is currently under investigation, as are the federal authorities that also failed to act. He was later reinstated as Secretary of Social Development by López Obrador.
Election as Head of Global Network of Safer Cities[edit]
In September 2012, Ebrard was elected to serve as President of the United Nations Global Network on Safer Cities[10][11] which is part of the Urban Initiatives through the United Nations.[12][13]

I attended my fifth Cisco Worldwide Partner Summit in Boston the first week of June. As always, the first day's keynote presentation by John Chambers was impressive and covered market transitions, opportunities, future big bets, and how Cisco can work better with its partners. John also stressed the need for partners to embrace change and move to a new business model.
Building on this presentation, Cisco made three key announcements at its partner summit, which I'm highlighting below because I believe they are especially important for partners that operate in Asia Pacific (AP) markets:

A quarter of NSW's top clubs have awarded lucrative contracts to their directors, executives or their families - many without going to tender.
They include several big meat-supply contracts - one worth more than $1 million - and others for cleaning, catering, legal services and servicing poker machines.
Insider deals even extend to the meat raffle, one club reporting it bought $71,700 in hams from a company associated with one of its directors or officers - although it was put up for tender.
The details are revealed in a State Government survey of the top 107 registered clubs. Of the 82 that responded to its "please explain" letter sent last month, 24 have reported that they have such contracts.
The Minister for Gaming and Racing, Grant McBride, asked clubs with poker machine revenue over $6 million to provide the information by October 17.
It followed revelations in the Herald that the Penrith Panther's chief executive, Roger Cowan, billed the club $2.9 million in 2001-02 for marketing services provided by his family company, Phyro Holdings.
Mr McBride said in his letter that while he was not convinced "there were oodles of them out there", he wanted to gauge the extent of contracts between clubs and staff or board members.
The results, sent to the minister's taskforce on gaming on Friday, will almost certainly strengthen the Government's resolve to improve corporate governance of clubs.
Of the 35 contracts disclosed to the minister by clubs, 24 were awarded without tender.
Supply of meat has emerged as a potential problem area. One big club reported that it had awarded a contract worth $356,809 to a company where a club director was the manager. Another had awarded a contract for meat worth $147,000 to a company related to a club director, again without tender.
The Herald has already reported that the president of Rooty Hill RSL, Stephen Bond, a local butcher, has a contract worth $1.04 million to supply meat to the club.
However, this contract was put to tender, approved by the board and notified to the club's auditor. As well, Bonds Butchery has been supplying the club for 28 years, and Mr Bond only became a director seven years ago.
Other sensitive areas are the supply of professional services. Several clubs reported paying directors for legal and accounting services that often had not been sent to tender.
While most big contracts had received board approval, a few clubs reported contracts for smaller amounts awarded without tender or board approval.
These included a contract to supply promotional items worth $7600 at one club. At another, a carpet-cleaning contract worth $6000 was awarded to the husband of the duty manager.
The chief executive of Clubs NSW, David Costello, said yesterday that all contracts involving club executives or directors, or their families or companies, should be tendered, approved by the board and notified to the auditor.
"I think what you will see out of the task force is agreed tendering guidelines that all clubs will need to follow," he said.
While dealings between a club and a director or executive's business are not illegal, they can pose a conflict of interest. It is understood that the Government is still waiting on responses from about 20 clubs, including Panthers.
The findings came as the Premier, Bob Carr, vowed that he would not back down on increasing the poker machine tax on the big clubs, despite the high-profile campaign by Club NSW against the measure.

BEEKEEPERS in France are seeing red after their colonies began producing unsellable blue and green honey.
The mystified apiculturalists did some detective work and found the bees were returning to their hives smeared in unidentified coloured substances, which turned out to be the coating from chocolate M&M's.
They then realised that the brightly coloured sweets were being processed at a factory a few miles away. The bees were gorging on the plant's waste products and it was this that was turning their honey funny.
But this story does have a serious side. Blue honey is a bitter blow for the beekeepers around Ribeauville, in Alsace, who have already been dealing with high bee mortality rates and dwindling honey supplies after last year's harsh winter.
The company operating the factory has now taken steps to stop the bees gaining access to the site and beekeepers are once more hoping to taste sweet success.

Crocodile Comeback
MIAMI (AP) - Crocodiles are making a comeback in South Florida.
The population has multiplied nearly 10-fold since the 1970s. Today, there are more than 1,500 American crocodiles in South Florida.
The Miami Herald reports that as their numbers grow, so do encounters with people and pets. Last year, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission fielded 106 "nuisance" croc calls.
University of Florida professor Frank Mazzotti says the crocs are reoccupying territory they retreated from as their population dwindled because of hide hunters and coastal development.
The American crocodile is often confused with its plentiful cousin, the alligator. Alligators are black and have broad, rounded snouts and are found throughout the deep South. Crocodiles are grayish, have narrow tapered snouts and their only U.S. habitat is in South Florida.

A May 14 wedding is planned at Ocean Isle Beach Park.
On Thursday, Feb. 24, a group of eight Brunswick County residents went kayaking down Rice and Town creeks.
The morning started off cool, like most late winter mornings do, but quickly warmed up to feel almost spring. Their adventure began at the wildlife boat ramp on Gordon Lewis Road.
Don Harty, co-owner of Mahanaim Adventures, met the group to lead them on a guided bird watching/kayaking adventure down both of these creeks.
Use worms to turn your kitchen scraps into a rich crumbly compost that when added to soil will boost plant health and growth.
Composting your kitchen scraps not only keeps them out of the landfill, it also provides an excellent soil amendment and natural fertilizer that will improve your soil, boost plant growth and increase plant drought tolerance and pest resistance.
Nutrition experts agree that vibrant, brightly colored, whole foods are often the healthiest choices as wells best bargains in the grocery store. They tend to be nutrient-rich, meaning that more nutrition is packed into every calorie.
On the other hand, processed and packaged foods tend to have more fat, sodium, and added sugars (with bright artificial colors rather than natural goodness). These items also tend to cost more because you pay for fancy packaging and advertising.
Here are lunch menus for Brunswick County's nine Senior Nutrition Sites for next week.
Monday, March 14
Turkey a la King/gravy, mashed potatoes, collards, grape juice, whole-wheat bread/margarine, beverage.
Tuesday, March 15
Baked ziti/meat sauce, vegetable blend, pears, Italian bread/margarine, beverage.
Wednesday, March 16
Beans and franks, hotdog bun, coleslaw, peach cobbler, orange juice, beverage.
Thursday, March 17
Everyone seems to like pizza, whether we eat it out at a restaurant or make it at home with family and friends.
Italian in origin, the taste of that bread-like crust covered with a seasoned tomato sauce, cheese and other toppings is irresistible to most of us.
Early forms of pizza were most likely what we call "focaccia" today, since tomatoes didn't become part of the Italian landscape until the 16th century. No tomato sauce, no pizza pie. The addition of mozzarella cheese didn't come about until the late 19th century.
Dancers to compete
Caroline McMurray, 16, and Emily Benton, 14, have been receiving dance lessons from Jamie Watson of American Stepdance Revolution for the talent portion of their pageant competitions.
SHALLOTTE—Last year as Regina Evans recovered from a battle with breast cancer, she decided it was time to make a difference in the local community and started a support group for the visually impaired.
When Evans was 3 years old, her grandmother tried to show her an airplane in the sky. Evans could not see the plane. Her parents took her to the eye doctor, who was discovered Evans was visually impaired.
SHALLOTTE—There is a new business in town where fast-talking is the norm.
Crow's Nest Auction House and Treasure Mall opened last week at 4606 E. Main St. in the Confederate Rose building.
Auctioneer Kent Calvin Ward is the owner, and he hosts two weekly auctions. Auctions are on Tuesday and Friday evenings at 6:30. Attendees are asked to arrive around 6 p.m. in order to register for bidding. Auctions are held out back in the crow's nest (red barn) that has been transformed into an auction barn.

Christmas presents finally done! (Well, they have been done for a week or 2 now! The gray scarf - Staggered Rib Scarf http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/staggered-rib-scarfis for my DH and was made with Debbie Bliss Cashmerino - nice to work with! The brownish one is for my Mom - Travelling Fern Scarf. http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/travelling-fern-lace-scarf It was my first foray into lace :happydance: There are a few imperfections in both, but nothing I can't live with
Darn - I am using my work computer (at home) and cant get to the drive where my pics are stored , so If you are on Ravelry, here's a link until I can update this post with pics! http://www.ravelry.com/projects/margz3
Very nice work. Your stitch tension is perfect!
Both are beautiful!! Love the Traveling Fern, but am really looking forward to trying the staggered rib. I love how that works up too!
:inlove: very pretty I love the traveling fern!
Beautiful scarves! Your husband's is very masculine looking, great scarf for a man. Love the lace pattern on the other -- thanks for the links.
Lovely scarves!
I hope you don't mind, but I thought I would help you out with the posting of the pictures. You did a beautiful job on both projects!!!!!!
The Staggered Rib Scarf
Here's the Traveling Fern Scarf
Wow, those are gorgeous! I have them both in my to do list! Beautiful colors!
[FONT="Georgia"][B][COLOR="Navy"]Hey All,:yay: I am/was speechless and gobsmacked when I saw both of those scarfs. The wandering fern is beautiful, and puts my attempt at lace to shame (:think: shall I put my scarf still-on-the-needles in the bin?)~Phoenix~[/COLOR][/B][/FONT]
Nathalie - thanks for uploading the pics for me! I couldnt for the life of me figure out how to do it without getting to the root file! My brain was in slo-mo
Phoenix - don't get discouraged! I tried a couple of different lace patterns with what I thought was no success.....lace really changes once you block it!
[FONT="Georgia"][B][COLOR="Navy"]Hey All,Margz -I'm just saying in comparison to your lace work, mine is terrible. I thought that my unfinished lace work was pretty good until I saw your breathtaking work. ~Phoenix~[/COLOR][/B][/FONT]
Wonderful work, Margz! Thanks for sharing!
Lovely scarfs!
The Traveling Fern Scarf is my favourite!

Window & Door Air Leak
Several of my windows and doors leak air. On both my garage door and my front door, the door doesn't seem to shut all the way, so air leaks through. I "solved" this by stuffing some kleenex in the area where the door goes into the wall. I'm not sure what the name for that is, so hopefully that's clear (when you turn the handle, the metal part that goes into that area moves in and out). I'm sure there is some better solution to this problem, but I didn't find anything good to buy online. Any suggestions?
Also, in general, are there any good list of suggestions to stop heat loss? It's been around 0 here lately and it has skyrocketed my heating bill (~60/m -> ~$300/m).
(Is this the most appropriate forum for these types of questions? HVAC seemed too far off)
Which one are you asking about, the garage door, or front door? Both can be sealed with the proper materials. If you have a decent stocked Ace Hardware, go and talk to those folks. For the garage door, does it have the gasket seals at the bottom, top & sides? As for the front, does it have a bottom threshold gasket, side seals, top seal, and threshhold sweep?
Here are the pictures (sorry my camera sucks):
http://dev.bnovc.com/tmp/diy/airleaks/pict0031.jpg - my front door
http://dev.bnovc.com/tmp/diy/airleaks/pict0033.jpg - my garage door
http://dev.bnovc.com/tmp/diy/airleaks/pict0034.jpg, http://dev.bnovc.com/tmp/diy/airleaks/pict0035.jpg - this is the area where the door connects to the wall that I stuffed paper in to make it shut better
I have similar problems with my windows:
http://dev.bnovc.com/tmp/diy/airleaks/pict0040.jpg - the top of this window had a huge amount of air coming into until I stuffed it with paper, too.
Probably because the bottom part of it is down too far: http://dev.bnovc.com/tmp/diy/airleaks/pict0042.jpg
remove the metal striker plate and bend the tab (if there is one) a little bit to force the door to close better.
On a related note, suggestions on how to improve the leaks on my windows? (better than what I've done)
(The white is paper towel :)
The window doesn't seem to slide all the way up to wooden area.
I also assume that most of the heat being lost in my house is through the windows (although maybe that's wrong). Are there any general things I should do to improve heat loss (to mitigate my $250 heating bills in Dec.), like caulk around them or something similar?
I would use a 3m kit, and finding out why the windows do not close all the way, may mean contacting the manufacturer to have one of their rep's looking at it.
Why doesn't the window go all the way to the top? Is something in the way? Can you latch the window with the locking mechanism?
This should be a fairly easy diagnostic to figure out why it isn't closing properly. The fix might be more involved.
You need to take better pictures that aren't blurry

text: Yes, this is my first rattle with the car. i noticed it for the first time last night around 11:30 pm as i was leaving for work. if i had more time and it was light out i would have looked into it a bit further but i had to get to work. its coming from the drivers side of the trunk. i didnt notice it when i gave it some gas, but at idle the rattle is noticeable in the cabin. when i popped the trunk and removed the plastic door to access the factory jack, the rattle became even more noticeable. anyone have any idea what this could be? im going to go inspect it right now as the car is warm from me just returning from work. if i find anything out i will update, with pictures if necessary.

A new scholarship has been established with the aim of fostering leadership and governance in sub-Saharan Africa. The Olam International Graduate Scholarship - Catalysing Change in African Markets will support a scholar from the region who is undertaking a one year taught master's programme within the Department of Economics or the Department of International Development. The candidate will be selected on the basis of merit, need and commitment to promoting positive change in their home country or region.
Olam International is a leading agri-business, operating in 65 countries and supplying food and industrial raw materials to over 13,000 customers worldwide. The company's roots lie in Africa, where it first began trading cashews in Nigeria 25 years ago, and it now operates in over 20 African countries, sourcing products such as cocoa and cotton from a network of 2.8 million smallholders, investing in rice farming in Nigeria, wheat milling in Senegal and producing packaged foods such as noodles and yoghurts in West Africa.
"LSE was an obvious choice for hosting such a scholar, due to its outstanding teaching and learning programme, its strength in the field of economics and international development, and its very real meaningful impact in the areas of public policy and development," said Olam Co-Founder and CEO, Sunny Verghese.
He added: "Olam cannot continue to grow responsibly without addressing some of the key challenges facing the next generation – food, water and energy security, the impact of climate change, sustainable growth and good governance. Through this scholarship, we hope to play our part in developing necessary skills and knowledge in a highly talented select group of change agents. They in turn will then have the opportunity to contribute towards economic transformation and to catalyse change in their community."
The first Olam International Scholar took their place at the School in 2015/16. Applications are now open for 2016/17, with full details of the criteria and process available here.

Earthen Vessels: The Practice of Personal Prayer According to the… (edition 2002)
by Gabriel Bunge, Michael J. Miller (Translator)
Work details
Earthen Vessels: The Practice of Personal Prayer According to the Patristic Tradition by Gabriel Bunge
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Far from a dry treatise of ancient prayer, Fr. Bunge offers a refreshingly new look at the tradition of prayer in the Church. Rooted in Sacred Scripture and informed by the writings of the early Church Fathers, Fr. Bunge gives practical advice on learning to pray through prayer, including the times of prayer, where we pray, and the physical gestures used in prayer. The appendix even includes advice on setting up a small prayer corner in a home or other space.
This is a wonderful book for people looking to deepen their prayer through the wisdom of the Church's Tradition.
References to this work on external resources.
Wikipedia in English
Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0898708370, Paperback)The Fathers of the Church, deeply-rooted in the Scriptures, have left us a rich treasure as inheritance, not only of texts, but also of manners, forms and gestures of prayer. Today, western Christianity in a special way, needs to rediscover the intimate union which must exist—in prayer just as in any aspect of Christian life—between theory and practice, between contemplation and practical exercise. One learns how to pray by praying, and the whole of our being is called to participate in this work: the mind, the heart, but also the body, the gaze, the senses. Fr. Gabriel Bunge, a hermit with great spiritual discernment and profound knowledge of the Fathers of the desert, presents with masterly coherence this important unity between what one believes and what one expresses in the practice of prayer: a fascinating rediscovery of the valuable treasure contained in the teachings of the Church Fathers on the practice of personal prayer.

Has anyone heard of this before?? SX3 is only 3 years old with minimal use duck and goose hunting. The part of the magazine tube where the brass ring is located failed and has a chunk of the magazine tube missing. The gun still shoots fine as a single shot but it won't eject shells due to all of the gases coming out before the gas piston.
Any ideas what could have caused this? I have to think it is a factory defect and they should cover it, but i doubt i will be that lucky.

Hunting season is right around the corner
Since fall is on the horizon that means that hunting season is right around the corner. Hunters always look forward to fall because it gives them the opportunity to get out in the woods and hunt for different kinds of game. For some guys, hunting is just as enjoyable as going to a football game. For others … not so much. If you're a hunter, then you're probably an outdoorsy kind of guy who likes getting his hands dirty. You probably aren't up-to-date on the latest cufflink fashions and designs, either. This also means that you probably aren't aware that there are novelty cufflinks for guys just like you. We have a selection of Hunting and Fishing Cufflinks that are perfect for any hunter or fisherman. Just because you enjoy casting a fishing line in the middle of a muddy river or hiking through the woods in camouflage doesn't mean that you can't ditch the fishing pole or shotgun and exchange them for a pair of cufflinks every once and a while.
Even hunters get invited to formal affairs, so you'll need a pair of cufflinks to go with your outfit. Lucky for you, we have plenty of fun and fashionable Hunting and Fishing Cufflinks to choose from. The next time you have to get dressed up, snap on a pair of Deer Crossing Cufflinks. Then you can dream about catching a prize-winning deer no matter what boring formal event you are forced to attend. Just make sure to leave your shotgun at home.

Remember when getting there was half the fun? Not anymore.
On my way back to Chicago from New Orleans after attending the American Traffic Safety Services Association's annual convention, I was forced to make a contribution to the airport gods. It was an unopened bottle of "Taste the Evil" hot sauce, confiscated because it was?and I am not making this up?one-quarter of an ounce over the allowed limit for liquid carry-on items.
Having already extricated my laptop from my briefcase; removed my shoes and jacket; jammed my toiletries into a 1-quart zip-top bag and thoughtfully packed it for easy removal and examination by Transportation Security Administration (TSA) employees; and walked in my socks over unspeakably filthy floors, I stared dumbly at the hapless young man holding one of the world's best gag gifts. I was appalled that this perfectly fine, brand new item would be thrown away.
What a waste.
I'm not criticizing the men and women who support themselves and their families by participating in this divine comedy. And let's assume that the rules regarding what can and cannot be carried on to an airplane have averted nasty incidents.
Still, so much of the nation's counterterrorism resources are misdirected. If someone really wanted to disrupt the American way of life, they'd take out a bridge! A road! Mass transit! Poison some drinking water! Release untreated sewage! Thanks to aggressive lobbying, states distribute most homeland security funds to fire andpolice operations. Like police and fire, public works departments could lobby state legislatures for a bigger piece of a shrinking pie.
"There is funding available if you're willing to fight for it," says Dan Lynch, a water andwastewater utility manager for a Wisconsin community of 63,000, and one of our sources for the article beginning on page 30.
But unlike police and fire departments, public works departments spend virtually all of their time managing the things that keep U.S. citizens safe every day. When you're consumed by the effort of justifying a minor rate increase to keep a major community asset up and running, who has the time and energy to mobilize other public infrastructure managers to take a massive public relations campaign to the state capital? Because that's what it will take to teach key decision-makers about your role in making the nation safe for democracy.
If you have undertaken such an effort, please tell me what you did and how you did it by e-mailing me at email@example.com. I'd love to hear what you've accomplished.

It's a story that we may never know the full extent of. It's a mystery shrouded in nothing but good will and no apparent hurt feelings.
LeCharles Bentley is no longer something he zealously wanted to be while growing up in Cleveland – a member of the Cleveland Browns.
Just like that, he's gone.
Quite the contrary to when he signed that multi-million dollar contract in the early stages of 2006. Bentley was coming home. He spoke in terms that made every Browns fan proud to be a Browns fan.
Cleveland was where the two-time Pro Bowler wanted to be. And he made certain everyone knew that. This would be the culmination of a dream he had long clung to while starring in football at St. Ignatius High School and Ohio State University.
He couldn't wipe the smile off his face as he spoke to the assembled media at the news conference that introduced the return to his hometown. He was so happy. Back home with family, playing for the team of his childhood. Not many athletes experience that feeling.
Browns fans welcomed him home with open arms. Glad to have you back, said many ardent fans who applauded the Browns' effort to shore up the offensive line. Great to have you back where you belong. We look forward to a long and prosperous career.
Everyone was happy, giddy almost, that the Browns could pull off this kind of coup. Not one word of dissent.
In a moment of startling suddenness, the LeCharles Bentley story took one of the most puzzling and bewildering turns in Cleveland sports in a long time. One play into training camp in 2006, Bentley's world – and the patellar tendon in his left knee – collapsed.
Post-op complications along the road to recovery spun him into a life-and-death situation and out of Browns plans. And for the next two years, neither side appeared on the same page regarding his status. Until now.
When the Browns granted Bentley's request to be released Wednesday, it brought to an end one of the strangest and most bizarre chapters in Browns history.
No one figured it would end like this.
After nearly two years, trying to figure out why he hadn't played for the Browns has been perplexing. Neither side was forthcoming regarding his status. The fans didn't know what to think.
A nasty rumor has made the rounds lately that Bentley deceived the Browns by faking the injury. According to the rumor, he actually tore up the knee playing basketball shortly before the start of training camp two years ago and then pretended to blow out the knee on the first full-contact play of practice.
That would be hard to believe unless Bentley's pain threshold is so ridiculously high, he could have withstood pre-workout stretching and running in spite of the injury.
It's also possible – but not proven – the club found out that the rumor was true and decided to cover it up to save Bentley any embarrassment. There were some suspicions to why the Browns tore up the original contract and replaced it with a two-year deal.
For the better part of two years, Bentley rehabbed in an effort to fulfill his part of the contract. And for most of those two years, the Browns insisted he wasn't ready to play. Even though he had passed physicals elsewhere, he failed to pass the Browns' test.
Kind of makes one wonder.
Fans nevertheless continued to wish Bentley as speedy a recovery as possible. They understood the circumstances under which he labored and hoped for the best.
And when he finally did pass his physical recently, fans rejoiced. But not for long. The Browns would not guarantee him a starting spot on the offensive line. Nor should they have.
Phil Savage understandably couldn't wait for him to rehabilitate to the point where he would be a productive member of the team. The offensive line needed to be repaired quickly and Bentley was not a fit in that timetable.
So Savage did what any good general manager would do and was able to cobble together one of the best offensive lines in the National Football League by drafting smartly and signing key free agents.
Now the healthy Bentley would have to come in and prove himself all over again. Not good enough.
Maybe it was pride. Perhaps he was dissatisfied with the manner in which the club handled this whole mess that factored into the decision to ask for his release. Cleveland no longer fit into his short-term plans.
Give Bentley credit, however, for taking the high road. "I'm still a fan," he said as he departed. "I'm still a Cleveland guy and I'm glad to see the Browns do well. . . . I'm excited about that from a fan's perspective. I'm always going to be a Cleveland Browns die-hard fan no matter what."
Said Savage, "We wish him the best. . . . It just didn't work out." Empty words or words of relief that this little nightmare had closure?
Bentley didn't want to be a spare part and that's what he probably would have been with the Browns. Who could blame him? He believes he has recovered enough to become an asset to some team.
There's one team about two hours southeast of Cleveland down the turnpike that could use a good offensive lineman. And another team about five hours southwest of Cleveland down I-71 that could use a good offensive lineman. Both play in the AFC North.
How ironic it would be if the Browns see Bentley at least twice a year for the next five or six seasons.

This season the team will field three entries, including the No. 15 of Clint Bowyer, the No. 56 of Martin Truex, Jr, and the No. 55 that will feature a combination of drivers including Mark Martin, Brian Vickers, and team owner, Michael Waltrip.

This season, Clint Bowyer, who shocked the NASCAR world when he finished 2nd in points in his first year with Michael Waltrip Racing, is back with his crew chief, Brian Pattie.

#1: A few questions
Ok so yesterday I tried something new. I deep conditioned my hair and cowashed. After I got out of the shower, I put baby oil and conditioner in my hair. Today my hair looks amazing but I'm not sure if it's curly girl. Is it all right for me to put it in my hair? Can I wash it off with no problem?? Also the top of my hair was pretty frizzy so if I add gel, will that help? I'm fairly new at this so I have a bunch of questions.

2008 Walnut City Wineworks Reserve Willamette Valley Pinot Noir
13.5% alc., pH 3.69, TA 0.56, 650 cases, $30. A barrel selection of the best lots from five vineyards in the Willamette Valley. Aged 18 months in 10% new French oak barrels and 24 months in bottle. · Medium reddish-purple color in the glass. The nose is well-endowed with aromas of black cherries, black raspberries, baking spices and toasty oak. Discreetly concentrated flavors of black cherries with complimentary oak notes of spice and toast, and a citrus-laden underbody. The extended bottle aging has allowed the tannins to fully meld and the wine is enjoyable now. Good. Reviewed May 5, 2013 ARTICLE »

The if they say it happened it happened mentality doesn't work for me.
Printable View
The if they say it happened it happened mentality doesn't work for me.
Some of you talk about 10 months like it's just a vacation.
What would happen to YOU if you could afford nothing better than a public defender who only wants your case to "go away"?
What would happen to your job while you spend 10 months in Crook County Jail?
Without income, can you pay rent for your apartment? Is the management company just going to hold onto your personal possessions? How about a mortgage. There goes your house.
I don't know the law about forclosure, do you get back any equity?
Can you make the minimums on your credit card payments?
There goes your credit.
You finally get out of jail, no job, you think you are getting the same job back? Eww, a FELONY arrest?! Begone scum.
And when you finally get a lawyer to sue on this matter it takes 5 years to win your case.
You will absolutely NEVER get any legal satisfaction against the particular cops who arrested you, and tried to coerce a confession out of you. (as Chicago police are known for)
7.7 million is not NEARLY ENOUGH to change the system.
And as far as being made whole, it is just a start.
And I'll bet you don't try saving cops in burning cars anymore, either.
While I am strongly against all of these frivolous lawsuits that fill up our courts these days and the outragious awards being given out, I have no problem with this award.
What happened to the 'Good Samaritan Act'?
Did she have the gun on her? Evidently not!
Did she even have a record? I doubt it.
I think the prosecutor should have looked at this and stopped it. This womens life and career must have been greatly affected by her arrest and incarceration.
IMO, there is quite a record of abuse of power coming out of 'Crook' County. While I believe this was a justified award, I hope more importantly it will send a message to LE and the DA's office.
That's my 2 centsin a nutshell.
Did they even find the gun? Any prints on it? Surely not hers, she was kinda busy.
This award should be cut to about $200,000, more than twice what she would have made in a year.
As is obvious, the impact of such abuses are not merely monetary. By a vast margin, the worst cost borne by us all is the lasting impact of such abuses. What compensation for that? (All comments are based on the idea that the facts of the case as presented are true, of course, based as well on the simple fact the groundless case was dumped by the court.)
IMO, any damages in such a case should not only financially compensate a person for current and future harm to one's income generating potential, but it should absolutely be stout enough to be a significant barrier and warning against future abuses, putting the crooks on notice that such things will not be tolerated. Monetary compensation can't hardly do that, beyond the lost income and career damage. It's greatest effect, by far, is in the guard against future criminal/abusive behavior.
The liars and abusers are still running free, a good sam got it right up the backside, and the public got further proof of how unfettered power damages us all. One needs to ask why those who documented the lies and perpetrated this aren't themselves hounded out of uniforms and office, and jailed for the apparent crimes. There seems to be more fact in support of such charges than anything leveled at the citizen.
C ooke County is croupt and run poorly.I am suprised the voters continue to put up with this poorly run goverment ! The nurse certainly deserves to be compensated for all the time she was detained.Another example of doing a good deed costing you big time!
In Detroit they gave two cops 7+ million dollars for being wrongly fired.
I don't think some of the municipal employees realize just how terrifying it is to be locked up for something you haven't done! Then add to it that you haven't had any experience with the way police treat their captives. Ignoring them for hours at a time. When contacted it's in a threaten manor promising more jail time if they don't confess or cooperate and do it now.
If this were a corporation every one involved would be looking for a new job. That is what should happen here.
The public at large are feed up with things like this from congress down to the parking enforcement.
The 'crooks' are not paying the damages! They earn their salaryas usual or ehaps they are reprimanded. The award is nothing but a political stunt that provides an undeserved windfall for the poor, poor woman and harms the community at large. It will not impact future abuses at all. Or perhaps someone can explain how a taxpayer funded gift to the woman is a deterrent to future abuses.Quote:
IMO, any damages in such a case should not only financially compensate a person for current and future harm to one's income generating potential, but it should absolutely be stout enough to be a significant barrier and warning against future abuses, putting the crooks on notice that such things will not be tolerated.
It has no effect whatsoever on future abusive behavior. It is simply a lucky woman winning the guilt lottery. Compensate her for her monetary loss and a bit more for her mistreatment but that does not come to a retirement living of $7M dollars.Quote:
Monetary compensation can't hardly do that, beyond the lost income and career damage. It's greatest effect, by far, is in the guard against future criminal/abusive behavior.
I am surrised that most here agree with the ridiculous award. It reminds me of the woman who was awarded millions because she spilled hot coffee on herself. Of ourse, that was eventually vacated. These idiotic awards are often greatly publicized but when the adults review the nonsense of the jury abusing the system the decisions are frequently reversed and reasonable compensation is awarded. I expect that will occur in this case, as well.
In looking this up to refute you, I have come to the conclusion that you are correct. My apologies to all for the misinformation. Incidentally, for Joe Citizen, there are only 3 states that have any sort of law on the books saying you have a duty to help someone in grave danger. The most you could be fined in any of the three states was $500 for a petty misdemeanor.
Again, my apologies.
cooked up case and denied bail, and the defender's office which did nothing at all.
Now you are right, these folks probably all have kept their jobs.
Maybe, when the city/county actually has to write the check--
Let us hope that somewhere along the way the higher officials (elected) will see to the firing of those involved. It is ok to sock it to the taxpayers who after all voted for the fools. OR, can vote with their feet and move to (pick your favorite state; Arizona).
And, the futility of expecting reform is why I strongly feel a special master needs to be appointed to oversee the PD. Its been done elsewhere (LA I think, maybe Detroit also, not sure) and it is perfectly legal, notwithstanding theoretical considerations of limited judicial authority.
I bet it cost well more than a million just on the investigators. There certainly wouldn't have been any cooperation from the authorities and their lives would have been endangered too.
Hey, You learned me something too. I didn't know there was anything in any state. FWIW, Once we do intervene, we can't just leave the patient. We have to hand them over to an appropriately trained person who accepts patient care. Otherwise, we are guilty of patient abandonment. Mayb I shouldn't say "we." Old habit, I haven't worked the road or held a license in almost 5 years.
No, the only remedy from this case was monetary. Citizens can indeed sue for redress and file charges. Going after the individuals responsible wasn't the point of this specific case. Doesn't mean no other redress is possible.Quote:
Yes, the impact of the abuses are not merely monetary but that is the only remedy available. The issue that most here are missing is that the award has nothing to do with societal damages of the abuses.
Yes, this specific award doesn't address societal damages, other than obliquely. Doesn't mean redress can't cover that.
At the end of the day, no public budget is endless. That $7M is coming from somewhere, and someone's going to be bummed if a series of these drains the coffers to the point when it stings that organization and its related governing entities. Like peer pressure in any group that's saddled with a problem of a wayward member, peers (in this case, the community) can be a heavy weapon against such abuses, in the long term.
Where's the beef, then? IMO, any such redress should have gone straight to the jugular of the individuals, as well, with charges of wrongful arrest, denial of civil rights, willful lying and falsification on a sworn affidavit/form by the officer(s) involved. Hard to make anything out of the lack of firings, jail terms or fines levied directly against the individuals involved, other than assuming the lawsuit sought sought none of those things.

You are herecontent / 75 Years Later, the Lessons of Guernica
75 Years Later, the Lessons of Guernica
By Amy Goodman
Seventy-five years ago, the Spanish town of Guernica was bombed into rubble. The brutal act propelled one of the world's greatest artists into a three-week painting frenzy. Pablo Picasso's "Guernica" starkly depicts the horrors of war, etched into the faces of the people and the animals on the 20-by-30-foot canvas. It would not prove to be the worst attack during the Spanish Civil War, but it became the most famous, through the power of art. The impact of the thousands of bombs dropped on Guernica, of the aircraft machine guns strafing civilians trying to flee the inferno, is still felt to this day—by the elderly survivors, who will eagerly share their vivid memories, as well as by Guernica's youth, who are struggling to forge a future for their town out of its painful history.

Cadillac ATS Performance Forum Discussion, ATS Crankcase evac/oil separating system in Cadillac ATS Discussion Forums; ATS Crankcase evac/oil separating system The RX*system*for the 2.0 Turbo*ATS. Here is what we found. The OEM*system*does NO evacuation at ...
ATS Crankcase evac/oil separating system
ATS Crankcase evac/oil separating system
The RX*system*for the 2.0 Turbo*ATS.
Here is what we found.
The OEM*system*does NO evacuation at idle and low RPM's, it relies on crankcase pressure to force vapors out and into the clean side (fresh) of the PCV*system*into the main intake air bridge/tube. It then uses for the dirty side(foul) the suction from the turbo inlet for evacuation at that time, and pulls in oil laden mist through it as well, so the OEM*system*is lacking to say the least.
Here is how the RX*system*works:
Can bracket mounts to the front of the engine in blank pre-drilled/tapped hole:
Dirty side line attaches to the PCV valve (yes, they have a valve again vs the fixed orifice that caused issues):
and it runs to the inlet side of the turbo:
Dirty side plastic line is slit at the joint to the metal line and then with dipstick pulled and air box off, it will pivot and face the oil separator:
Plastic crimp is cut off the end so the included hose can slide firmly over the factory hard plastic line. This will connect to the center fitting on the RX can, with no check valve:
The metal tube will then connect to supplied line to one of the outer fittings on the RX can WITH checkvalve, arrow pointing flow away from the can:
The clean-side runs from the air intake tube to a T where it then connects to the front and rear of the passenger side of the cam/valve cover:
This is removed completely, and the 2 included vacuum caps are placed over each open barb on the cam cover that the T'd fresh line was connected to:
Note the oil saturated in these lines that was being drawn directly into the intake tube and turbo:
That takes care of the evacuation and oil separation while in boost operation, now locate the hard plastic tube that comes from the intake manifold to the evap solenoid located on top front left of the cam cover, and cut app 3" out of this line where the include T will attache. Push the includes hose up over the plastic line firmly:
This will allow a line from the second outlet on the RX can to be attached, with inline checkvalve arrow directing flow away from the can (NOTE! Checkvalves are in the outer fittings and only flow away from the can):
This now provides evacuation during idles and non-boost operation, separating and trapping the oil mist/vapors along with water in the winter months, keeping it out of the intake air charge. This also provides far more evacuation than the OEM*system, and even pulls vacuum on the crankcase at non-boost operation more effectively removing the damaging combustion by-products from the crankcase.
Now, the clean (fresh) side. This is one of the main pathways for oil ingestion, and we remove the clean line completely, capping the barbs as noted above, and replace the OEM oil fill cap with the RX cleanside separator. The barb on the cleanside separator them has a hose run to the barb the OEM line did attache to providing 100% MAF metered air, and trapping any oil that would be entering during full boost operation.
System*remains closed so (aside from CA as we have no CARB cert yet) it is 50 state in compliance with emission regulations, catches, separates, and traps the oil from ingestion, and removes the restrictions and provides far improved evacuation WITHOUT messing up fuel trims or the tune.
This*system*is available direct:*www.RevXtreme.com, by phone: 941-721-1826 for $299 plus $99 for the cleanside separator, and $15 S&H or from any of the RX dealers.
And color plus polished or matte black (shown here). Simple install, easy fitment, and looks like it belongs there.

Fitness vacations favor fun, adventure over weight loss
By Dorene Internicola
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Fitness vacations have ventured far from the fat farm.
Today's fit-focused travelers want to pair exercise with escapades and fitness with fun, whether it's yoga among the sea turtles, bootcamp on the beach or a zumba cruise.
"Fitness retreat used to mean go away and lose weight," said Melisse Gelula, co-founder of the wellness media company Well+Good. "Now it's just working fitness into a schedule that might also include lavish dinners, beach time, cocktail hours, nights out dancing."
Wellness tourism, which includes travel paired with activities such as yoga retreats, fitness centers, boot camps, cycling, gyms and other activities, is about a $500 billion global market, according to The Global Wellness Tourism Economy report of 2013.
The report said wellness tourism represents 14 percent of total global tourism revenues overall and is projected to rise to 16 percent by 2017.
In January, Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd will launch its first ever Zumba Cruise, offering all-day classes in the popular Latin American dance-based aerobic program during a cruise that will leave from Fort Lauderdale in Florida and make stops in Jamaica and Haiti.
Daily classes will be led by 130 zumba instructors.
"Our focus is more fun," said Allison Robins of the global lifestyle brand Zumba Fitness, which is working with the cruise line. "You'll never see us talking about weight loss, although that just happens." Continued...

Fun and games and beers at Cornwall's
If you like beer, board games, and some breathing room in a sea of over-crowded bars—you'll love Cornwall's Pub & Bar. Adjacent to the BU Bookstore and across the street from Uno's, this pub sits comfortably on the edge of Kenmore Square at 654 Beacon Street. So close to Fenway, Cornwall's can seem miles away from the ball park (in a good way).
When the Red Sox are playing, it's a calming alternative to the bars on Lansdowne Street and Brookline Ave. The place fills up before and after games, but you can still get a quick drink and it doesn't take hours to corral a table if you're with other people. This is all thanks to a good amount of space (two rooms) and thousands of people not wanting to cross Beacon Street. Cornwall's also doubles as a quintessential stop for the working crowd—either during lunch or after work.
British ales and imports dominate the establishment's lengthy beer list. You easily have over 100 bottled and draft beers to choose from, with a bar and wait staff that's generous with their suggestions.
The joy of having such a great beer selection in the Kenmore Square area distracts from Cornwall's food, which is also good. The bar offers heartier entree options or standard appetizers like nachos and sides of fries. But it's mostly a place you go back to for beer. It's also been said that the mixed drinks are cheap and poured with a heavy hand in pint glasses.
The other great thing about Cornwall's—they don't skimp on the home-spun entertainment. You have your usual suspects, a room full of pool tables and dart boards. But the real show-stopper, a board game wall, is found in the back of the bar area. Yes, that's right. A board game wall. Piled high are childhood favorites like Battleship, Taboo, and Monopoly. You name it and Cornwall's probably has it. Thus making it a great place to bring a bigger party in need of a good game night.
Cornwall's garners mixed reviews from the city crowd, but on the whole, those who discover the bar like it. Regulars are fanatical about the place, and anyone who enters their doors generally has a compliment to pay upon leaving. Bottom line—it's not a typical bar you find in Kenmore Square.
Boston may be teeming with good Irish Catholics, but thanks to some character and a great location, a brief love affair with a British pub is possible.
[Ed. note: Sam is one of those good Irish Catholics.]

side play
i have a Delta 28-243 bandsaw, the upper wheel appears to have side play when the saw is untighted. is this normal, is this an adjustment. thanks
Open up the cover and grab the top and bottom of the wheel and try to move it. Look at the shaft and see if the shaft and wheel are moving at the same time.
Then grab it on the two sides and try that.
What your looking for is to see if it's worn bearings.
If the wheel can move from side to side and the shaft stays still then the bearing may need changing.
The shaft and wheel may wiggle a little but because it has to be able to move up and down in a track.
On at least some saws, the upper wheel is attached to a bracket, carriage, or whatever you want to call it, which in turn is mounted to the frame on a pivot, and there is a screw of other adjustment at the bottom of the bracket, which can be adjusted to keep the wheels on a common plane as the saw wears. If your saw is configured in some such manner, still check the pivot points, to make sure that nothing is worn, but you may otherwise be seeing normal movement. And, by the way, when you will not be using your saw for extended periods, it is a good practice to relieve the pressure on the blade a bit, in order to prevent flat spots on the wheel treads.

Long ago, Farmville was known for tobacco and railroads, both of which are gone now, however, the Town is still bustling amid the changes. The once tobacco warehouses are now used as retail spaces in downtown Farmville and the railroad that once ran through here, is now home to High Bridge State Park.
Today, new businesses are springing up throughout the town, capitalizing on the dynamic quality that Farmville possess as a college town and as an economic hub for central Virginia. As central Virginia's center for economic activity, Farmville's current service area captures a population of approximately 120,000, more than the total population of most (32 out of 39 or 82%) of the Commonwealth's cities.
In 1996, Farmville's retail sales were $332 million. In 2006, retail sales skyrocketed to $528.8 million. This kind of trend continues today and should for some time.

Switching 63 Impala to 64 Impala heat control
I'm having a heck of a time with my heater control. I have a 3 slider control face for my Impala. No airconditioning. The air slider is connected to the fan control switch. This slider is broke. I got on eBay and bought the wrong control, one for a car with air. 49.00 ca-ching.... learned my lesson. Bought the right one, had to get the entire heater core, cables etc. and when I went to switch out the slider, it was the only piece on the unit that was broke. Ca-ching.... another 50.00. I have found another one, it is for a 63 and the fan switch is on a seperate slider. I also found a new old control unit that came out of a 64. It has the three sliders on it with the fan switch working off of the air control slider. Does anyone know what the point of having the fan switch working off of the air slider is. Seems to weeken the slider and thus so many broken sliders. Any insight in this would help before I ca-ching again. Getting to be an expensive slider. ( don't confuse the air slider for an air conditioning control. It's not, just opens the vents to air.)
Thanks ahead of time.
So whats your question exactly? im alil unsure by the post.....
question is
What is the purpose of having the fan switch working in unison with the air switch? and.... has anyone switched out the 64 control with the 63 control?
