De La Rosa a free agent!
By Jose Reyes
Former Contender: Season One star and IBA Continental middleweight title holder Juan Pedro "El Gallo Negro" De La Rosa (19-3-1, 15 KOs) is now a free agent. The move was announced Cavazos Boxing and manager Jason Stuart. Anthony Cavazos, President of Cavazos Boxing in the Rio Grand Valley area of Texas, has made a reputation for bringing tomorrow's stars out of south Texas and launching them onto the national and world boxing scene. Many may remember last April when Cavazos Boxing announced the signing of a co-promotional deal with Duva Boxing which moved the young welterweight prospect "The King" James De La Rosa (18-0, 12 KOs) into position for his run at a world welterweight title.
Well, less than a year later, Cavazos Boxing is giving boxing fans around the world yet another treat by releasing JP "El Gallo Negro" De La Rosa for his shot at the next level in boxing.
JP says he's very excited about this career move, "I can't wait to jump start my career in 2009. I'm back in the gym and feeling great about this new stage of my career. During 2008, we ran into problems with other fighters in my division fearing me and not wanting to take a fight. It seemed like every time we tried to make a fight, the opponents were just throwing out ridiculous numbers and pricing themselves out of the match so they didn't have to admit they were scared of me." JP continued, "I have a new manager, Jason Stuart, who also manages my brother and our cousin who is a damn good lightweight, "The One" Rashad Ganaway (7-0, 5 KOs). After consulting with my team and even getting input from Mr. Cavazos, I have decided to move down in weight and campaign at 154 lbs. It's kind of like we are streamlining things now because I'm going to be going up to Little Rock, Arkansas to train with my brother and cousin. Little Rock is a great place to train because of the climate and the great trainers there. "King James" is training with famed trainer Danny Smith who has trained Fernando Vargas, cruiserweight BJ Flores, welterweight Roberto Garcia and will now also be training junior middleweight Verno Phillips; while, "The One" is trained by Kevin Lightburn who has also worked with BJ Flores and helped train Jermain Taylor for his Bronze Medal in 2000 Olympics. They work us to death up there in Arkansas, but I've had a lot of interest from several big promoters who want to capitalize on my name recognition and talent displayed in the Contender. Now we have everything set to move forward on those plans. I can't thank Mr. Cavazos enough for this opportunity."
Cavazos has really developed his niche in the South Texas area by spotting young talent and building the fighters' records and skills to a point where they are ready to be launched up to the next level. To some, calling Cavazos Boxing in the Rio Grande Valley area of south Texas the minor leagues of boxing, might sound like a slight on this talented promoter, but JP says, "If this is the minor leagues of boxing, then Cavazos Boxing is the undisputed champ. Mr. Cavazos really does alot for us boxers down here in the Valley. Mr. Cavazos believes in us and works hard to promote us and get us lots of good fights early on.& nbsp; We know there is a lot of boxing talent down here in south Texas and northern Mexico, but we often get overlooked by the larger promoters. So, Mr. Cavazos comes in and does a great job of helping us move up in the sport. My younger brother, "King James," and I appreciate him so much."
Anthony Cavazos said, "JP is an extraordinarily talented fighter who has already begun making a name for himself through his appearance in the hit television series The Contender. You'd just have to understand how I operate to know that releasing JP isn't something bad or negative. It's more like a graduation for JP. He is ready to take his talent to the next level, so with this release I am making this transition much easier for JP and whichever promoter at the next level can offer him the best deal. I wish JP the best of luck and I know he will succeed in his quest for a world title as a light middleweight."
Cavazos went on to say, "Both JP and his younger brother "King James" are just two examples of the fantastic boxing talent we have down here in the Rio Grande Valley. I recently moved "King James" up through a co-promotional deal with Duva Boxing and I've got quite a few other very young, talented fighters signed, so with all the recent interest in JP from other promoters, we just took a look at it and said, you know what, we don't want to get stretched to thin, so we think it would be best to release JP and make him a free agent rather than spending our limited resources working out and executing yet another co-promotional deal for JP. A lot of people don't realize just how much time, money and effort it takes to develop these fighters and work out these deals with the top tier promotional companies.
"Cavazos Boxing puts on a lot of shows in the Valley every year and we are great at promoting these boxers, but there's only so much we can do without the operation getting too big and losing focus. For example, we have been asked to put together a card for another smaller promoter on February 6th down here, then "King James" is fighting another fight on Showtime February 20th, then Cavazos Boxing is putting on its own fight card on February 27th in Harlingen, Texas. I hope everyone comes out to watch that February 27th card in Harlingen because it's going to be a fantastic card featuring Texas Cruiserweight State Champ Eric "Drummer Boy" Molina (8-1, 7KOs)"
In order to understand why Cavazos isn't crazy for releasing a talented fighter like JP, who has network television exposure and is a former beltholder, one has to understand the focused business model of Cavazos Boxing and often underappreciated role of the boxing promoter. Cavazos explains, "I run a highly efficient and lean operation down here and I always try to look out for my fighter's best interests, I don't want to hold a fighter like JP back from being able to maximize his potential. With all the cards I do here in the Valley and all the travel required with the co-promotional deals on my other fighters like "King James," it would be very easy for us to get stretched too thin signing co-promotionals for every one of our highly talented fighters. We are already highly successful, so do what's best for the fighter, plain and simple."
Here's to hoping Cavazos Boxing keeps sending the fans outside the Rio Grande Valley these little hidden treasures and hoping JP "El Gallo Negro" De La Rosa gives us many exciting fights in his quest for a world title. If this kind of selfless, success story keeps surfacing from other pockets of boxing and promoters around the country, the boxing fans may get to witness the resurrection of the glory days of boxing where every weight class is deep with talent because there is&nb sp;a shared passion amongst boxers and promoters for the love of the sport, not money.

Small Engine
Small Engine Troubleshooting Problems? Ask a Mechanic Now.
Greetings, My name isXXXXX and I am here to help the best I can. My goal is 100% satisfaction. Let's get started.
It sounds to me like a twin cylinder engine that is only running on once cylinder.
Start the engine and then, with a good set of insulated piers, pull one of the spark plug wires off and note how the engine runs.
If the engine dies, then you know that the other cylinder is not working.
If the engine runs the same, then the cylinder that you removed the plug wire from is not working.
If the engine stays running, but runs much worse than it did, then both cylinders are working.
What could cause one cylinder not to work?
1. Bad ignition coil
2. Valve rocker arm came loose. or bad valve.
3. Broken connecting rod on that side,.
4. BAd spark plug on that side.
5 Blown head gasket on that side.
Good luck.
If this is not the problem, contact me and we will look at this again.
Are we here?
I mean to say..
It sounds to me like a twin cylinder engine that is STILL only running on once cylinder.
I actually formed my answer before I read What you had already tried. So I was not surprised when I read about the plug.. But, it still sounds like it runs on one cylinder under load.
Let me know of your follow ups.. Thanks
I have located a complete Service manual for your engine.

AN elderly couple were taken to hospital after a six-vehicle crash near Chester.
Traffic was held up for several hours after the accident on the westbound carriageway of the A51 Tarvin Road, Littleton, near Vicars Cross in Chester just after 1.50pm on Friday.
Fire, police and ambulance crews attended the scene.
A spokesman for Cheshire Fire and Rescue Service said firefighters and rescue crews freed an 80-year-old woman and 82-year-old man from their Suzuki Swift.
Two other cars, a flat back truck, a Renault van and a Polish HGV were also involved in the crash.
Both sides of the carriageway were temporarily closed to allow an air ambulance to land.
The heli-med doctor on board assessed the elderly man, who has a history of heart problems but both he and his wife were deemed fit to travel to the Countess of Chester Hospital by ambulance.
Cheshire Police confirmed the injuries to both patients were minor and they were taken to hospital for check-ups.
There were no other casualties.

With riches in certain situations come great expectation.
When Buffalo Bills defensive end Mario Williams signed that 6 year $100 million deal with $50 million guaranteed , he had to have known the expectations placed on him would be huge.
Williams and the Bills have not gotten off to a great start, and he's spent the past few weeks denying the extent of a nagging wrist injury.
Williams has no interest talking about the wrist, and according to the Buffalo News, if you ask him about those lofty expectations, Williams will tell you "he doesn't care about your expectations."
"I've got a lot of hesitation," he said. "It's on me. That's fine. I know I gotta change that. Believe me, I don't need anybody to tell me that. I look at it just how everybody else does."
"I don't care about your expectations. I don't care about anybody's expectations."
"That's the thing, no. Like I said, I need to play better and I need to get healthy, it's No. 1 on my point.
"I can say this and you can take it however you want to take it, but it really don't matter to me. I really don't care what you think. At the end of the day I know I need to get physically back into things so I'm not hesitating."
Williams like most players these days, tried to steer away from blaming it on his coaches, but did take a subtle shot at defensive coordinator Dave Wannstedt's scheme.
I believe that at the end of the day whenever you're told to do something, you go out and do it," he said. "It's not necessarily what's going on in the scheme. I mean, it's gap sound. It's fitting the gaps. That's across the board. It's every player getting in trouble with that."
Whatever that means Mario.

Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher has confessed that he is frustrated at his current lack of first-team football.
The 34-year-old made only his second Premier League start of the season against Norwich over the weekend, helping the Reds secure a clean sheet.
With Martin Skrtel and Daniel Agger firmly established as manager Brendan Rodgers' first-choice central defensive combo, Carragher's chances of becoming a first-team regular seem limited.
However, he is still keen to perform at the highest level, and has hinted that once his current contract at the end of the season expires he may move on to play regularly:
"The manager has been great with me. He has tried to keep me involved. But listen, I want to start. I'm no different to any other player," he is quoted by The Mirror.
"It was only my second start in the league this season, which is disappointing from my point of view, but I said I wouldn't complain and I'm just trying to get more starts and be involved between now and the end of the season."
He went on to state that he is happy to be a part of the club's domestic and European cup campaigns, but that he wants to play week in, week out in the Premier League:
"I've played a lot in Europe, the FA Cup and League Cup, but the Premier League is the most important thing for the club and the players. We all want to play in that, and I'm no different.
"I won't lie, it's been a difficult season for me in terms of starting games."
Carragher had been expected to either retire at the end of the season or sign a new deal to stay at the club.

Colorado's Legal Pot Growers Grumble About RFID Tagging
Imagine if a vintner had to keep track of every grape. That's a little like the task facing Colorado's marijuana growers, whose free-spirited ways are slowly adjusting to regulations that have sprung up around their newly legitimate business. Under the state's rules, pot merchants, who must grow most of what they sell, have to put a microchip on each plant so it can be recorded and monitored in Colorado's Marijuana Inventory Tracking Solution. "A flower child dies a small, painful death every time a MITS tag is issued," says Elliott Klug, who owns Denver dispensary Pink House Blooms.
A canary-yellow tag placed on each plant emits a radio frequency identification signal (RFID) that allows officials consulting a statewide database to track crops from bud to blunt. Tags with 24-digit IDs are staked into the soil or wrapped around individual plants while they grow in the dirt or hydroponically. The tags travel with the plants through a growhouse to harvest and as the pot flowers are dried and cured for flavor. For shipment to stores, each strain gets grouped into a batch that receives matching RFID tags, which remain on the packages until sale. During scheduled and unscheduled visits to dispensaries or growhouses, state officials use RFID scanners and electronic inventories to ensure that none of the plants go missing.
On March 10, Colorado reported that revenue from marijuana taxes and fees totaled more than $3.5 million in January, the first month recreational pot was legal. Governor John Hickenlooper's proposed budget for the coming fiscal year estimates that marijuana taxes will top $134 million.
The tag system was designed by Franwell, a Lakeland (Fla.)-based company that sells crop-tracking software, and makes up the technical backbone of Colorado regulatory efforts to monitor pot sales. Each plant tag costs 45¢; the batch package tag is 25¢. Growers say costs add up. For many, the bigger frustration is having to enter the data twice: once into their own accounting databases and again into the MITS system, which isn't compatible with most other programs. "Plugging and chugging numbers is what most of my management staff is doing now," says Jessie Levy, a store manager for the dispensary Native Roots. Given the potential margin for error, says Klug, the stakes, which could include loss of license and criminal charges, are absurdly high. When a plant dies, he follows a lengthy ticketing procedure to document and delete it from the system. "It's like, guys, it's a plant," he says.
Franwell's executive director for sales and marketing, Scott Denholm, says the company is working to develop a system that can sync with grower databases, adding that the water- and chemical-resistant tags are relatively cheap given that orders are typically small. Julie Postlethwait, a spokeswoman for Colorado's marijuana enforcement division, says red tape and fees are "part of being regulated." Complaints notwithstanding, "RFID tagging is absolutely necessary to legitimize the industry," says Toni Savage Fox, owner of the dispensary 3D Cannabis Center.
The plant tags can offer savvy growers a closer look at which strains are selling well or where a troublesome batch shipped, says Amy Poinsett, co-founder of the marijuana-tracking software provider MJ Freeway, incorporated in Littleton, Colo., and used by growers in 12 states and abroad.
When a batch of pot-infused gummy bears shipped from Native Roots turned moldy, store manager Levy says she used the data recorded on MITS to pinpoint and recall only the rotten gummies. Even Klug says he may install his own RFID scanners to electronically track each plant's location in his warehouse. As long as he's paying for the tags, he says, "I might as well make the most out of it."
The bottom line: A new hurdle for recreational pot farmers is an RFID-based tracking system that strikes them as Orwellian.

Toledo, Spain, is known for its jewelry and visitors often tour Toledo's jewelry factories, which use a process called damascening to make their jewelry. Damascening is a process where a precious metal, like gold or silver, is applied in a decorative pattern over the top of a non-precious metal, like iron or steel. Damascene jewelry dates back to the Middle Ages and is still popular today. You should clean gold damascene jewelry from Toledo the same as you would clean most vintage jewelry.

sawblades 2010
mercedes 2009
mercedes 2008
i bought my car almost 3 years ago, i figure its time for me to make a build thread. im gonna start from the beginning and try and fit everything in.
clean slate. november 07
the car is a 1.8t with 5spd and quattro, black pleather interior, and the paint color is called melange metallic
the day after christmas of 07, the flex pipe on my downpipe split. so while i was changing that i decided to install a 3" test pipe. just adding this improved boost lag greatly. this is an amazing mod
next on the list was h&r race springs, which i would now call a waste of time, but i had cracked springs in the rear so i didn't have much of a choice. around this time i got a set of clear cornered facelift headlights, and i decided to paint the centercaps on the stockies black
i got an s4 grille for cheap, painted the emblems black and also decided to add city lights to my CC headlights
late summer/fall 08 i picked up a set of 16x8 (et36)e320 mercedes wheels. i fitted 205/45s on with a 20mm spacer in the back and 12mm up front. (WARNING:embarrassing pics with the race springs)
then came the day that i finally bought coilovers in spring of 09. this is when the fun started. these pictures are without spacers, and coilovers down all the way (before the springs settled) i got a set of vmaxx's with crazy low miles for cheap, hate on them, but i like them.
i forgot to mention, sometime around spring of 09 i bought a minty set of facelift headlights with the amber still intact, i plasti-dipped my stock grille and returned it to the car and i put some black tape over the bumper supports to replicate a eurobumper, i have yet to paint that area...
spring show n go 09
some random pics from spring of 09
at show n go, PQ (paul) and i traded my stock headlights for his HIDs
then tragically my wheel fell off while traveling slowly through town...
so i painted the new unmatched fender in a peanut butter and jelly fashion
some pics nic (lazer viking) took for me at DATB 09
before waterfest my effed up alignment and camber killed my tires. a friend of mine gave me a set of proxies, only problem was they were 40 series. so i ran them, and hated it. too small of tire, too low, too much wheel gap. (the wheel gap isnt that noticeable in the pics but thats cause a pretty much edited the wheel wells enough so you cant see the tire size)
at this time i also polished the faces of the merc wheels and painted the spokes black
i also ditched the idea of the PB&J fender, and sprayed it with a gold spray paint that doesnt match
i found a set of 19" rs4 wheels for real cheap so i picked them up cause i wanted to give 19s a shot (but i picked up a different wheel set that id rather run this season, so the rs4s are going on the back burner)
i painted the b5.5passat wheels im running white to change them up. i really enjoy the look
i have also discovered that some scratched up spray paint is a beautiful slate for some chalk
some of you guys have probably noticed my recent disappearance...about a month ago (it feels like wayyy longer) my clutch went. right around the time that i fell into a pretty bad financial status. so i finally came up with enough money to order the clutch, at this time im also changing my control arms, subframe and oil pan. oil pan was broken by the tow truck driver due to a chain being placed right underneath it. he told me its cause my car is too low.
so keep an eye on this thread for future updates, and especially an upcoming wheel setup

Welcome to Read.gov – a site dedicated to encouraging reading by people of all ages. On the left hand side of the page, you'll find links that break up the site by age level: Kids, Teens, Adults, and then Educators & Parents. That is a great way to get started browsing. Beneath those categories you'll find even more categories under resources.
However, if you have kids and teenagers, it might be better have them look at the some of the featured sections on the site. I'd recommend my favorite section, Letters About Literature. By exploring that section of the site, they can discover how they can write a letter about the literature that has touched their lives for the Letters About Literature writing contest.
But even if they don't choose to enter next year, they can read winning letters from kids in their peer group and see that they're not the only ones who love to read. I can remember feeling like an outsider in high school, because I'd have books to read for pleasure, as well as my school books. It would have been nice to know that there were other bookworms out there like myself! This section also lets them see that it is okay for literature to touch their life. LAL also gives out grants to libraries, so you may want to let your local library know about it.
You can also find reading lists, books in progress, book festivals (I can't begin to tell you how excited I am about the idea of going to a book festival!), and even information on Braille Literacy.
If you love to read, or want to encourage your kids (or grandkids) to read, then this is a site definitely worth checking out! I'm off to learn where and when I can find a book festival near me!

Is Gano Excel for Real?
Before last month I had never heard of Ganoderma lucidum, and now I have seen two different MLM companies that promote this product. Organo Gold and Gano Excel.
Ganoderma is the latest magical herb from the far east to hit U.S. soil as a cure all. It seems as though every MLM health and wellness company needs to capitalize on some sort of magical fruit, plant or herb to differentiate their products. Monavie has the Acai berry, Xowii has the konared coffee fruit, and now Gano Excel has the Ganoderma mushroom.
What is the Ganoderma Mushroom?
The Ganoderma mushroom is that has been used in ancient Chinese medicine for over 4000 years! It is said to enhance your immune system, neutralize toxins in your body, reduce free radicals in your body (slows down aging) and remove circulation blockage.
The Gano Excel Difference
This company has used the magical ingredient of the ganoderma mushroom and put it in their products which include supplements, soaps and toothpastes, and most impressively to me……coffee!!!
I don't know about you but I need to have my cup of coffee in the morning to feel right! That is the great thing about this business opportunity, you do not need to change the habits of your costumers because they already like to drink coffee anyway! This is much better then trying to convince someone to like your super juice that they don't really want or need anyway.
This is a great opportunity to market a great heathy product that consumers already have an addiction for! Why not make some money promoting Gano Excel while enjoying your coffee that you are going to drink anyway!
How to Market Gano Excel
Back in the day I used to market my MLM business just like my upline told me to. I made a list of 100 people and contacted the ALL about my business. This was back in the 90's and we didn't have fancy internet presentations or YOUTUBE! After I ran out of warm market I started using the 3ft rule, then flyers, then I even posted signs on the freeways!
All of these marketing techniques worked to some degree, HOWEVER, it was not a great use of my time. I use to spend about 3 hours passing out flyers to get around 5 phone calls back! I realized that there was a better way. Now 10 years later I have found a way to spend 1 1/2 hours marketing online every day to get leads dripping into my funnel on a daily basis using a system called My Lead System Pro!
I would love to teach you how you can market your Gano Excel business online to get the same results! Just click on the link below to watch a short presentation on how you can take your Gano Excel business to the next level!

There was an announced crowd for Thursday's MLS game between the Columbus Crew and the Kansas City Wizards of 16,117. But how many people were actually there?
Shawn Mitchell examines the
discrepancy between the Crew's announced crowds, the number of people actually showing up for the games (that is, tickets scanned on the night), and the number of people paying for tickets -- the
Crew this season has given away an average of 2,901 tickets per game. The numbers decrease in each category.
"Officially, the Crew has averaged 12,881 fans while going 5-2-1 at home,"
Mitchell wrote before Thursday's game. "In reality, an average of 9,638 people have had tickets scanned this season." It's policy for all MLS teams to do the same, and explains why games that have
supposedly sold out have large sections of empty seating visible to TV viewers. Mitchell's instructive report is well worth reading in full.

Fetish dresses, fur collars defy crisis in Paris
By Sophie Hardach and Mathilde Gardin
PARIS (Reuters) - Models in black fetish dresses showered banknotes over the catwalk at Jean-Paul Gaultier, while Christian Lacroix opted for baroque gold dresses and big fur collars as Paris fashion dared to be decadent.
Smoking cigarettes and sipping drinks, Gaultier's strong women in black power suits and lace stocking looked like it would take more than an economic crisis to scare them.
A model with a whip ended a staged fight, rounding off an ironically aggressive show.
Gaultier said he had wanted to display "a bit of fetishism," and the big shoulders and cinched waists continued the 1980s power-dressing trend seen in New York and Milan.
At Lacroix, the fairytale fantasy gowns of this year's haute couture show had given way to subtly crafted draped jersey tops, trouser suits and mustard turtleneck sweaters with ruffled shoulders, with splashes of golden extravagance.
Layered outfits, with heavy collars, puffed sleeves and egg-shaped wool coats, were a luxurious take on grunge, in tune with the soundtrack -- a string version of Nirvana's "Come As You Are."
Classic colors such as navy, black and grey have featured heavily at this season's autumn/winter collections, with many designers trying to play it safe as fashion houses struggle with budget cuts and hesitant shoppers. Continued...

Easily the most recognizable architectural style in America, with its brick or shingled facades trimmed in white and ornamented with restrained classical detail, the Colonial Revival emerged in the late nineteenth century and is still the basis for classical design today. The American Style surveys the evolution of the Colonial Revival from the 1890s to the present, focusing on the period from 1900 to the 1930s when New York City was a major center of architecture and decorative arts. Leading architects, including McKim Mead & White, Delano & Aldrich, and Mott B. Schmidt, used its vocabulary for private residences and clubs as well as institutional buildings—banks, schools, churches, and museums. Richly illustrated with archival photographs and objects from the collections of the Museum of the City of New York and other major institutions, The American Style will be the definitive record of an enduring aesthetic in architecture and decorative arts.

UPDATE, 6:45 p.m.: The start of the game will be delayed because of approaching inclement weather, according to an announcement by the Nationals. There is no rain yet at Nationals Park.
The Nationals hope to move past Monday's extra-inning defeat, their eighth in 10 extra-inning games this season. Doug Fister (7-2, 2.93 ERA) takes the mound for the Nationals. As a former AL pitcher, Fister has faced the Orioles often and has a 5.30 ERA and 3-2 record in six starts against them in his career. Right-hander Bud Norris (7-5, 3.62 ERA) returns from the disabled list to face the Nationals. The lineups are here. As always, talk about the game below.

The Internet has revolutionized the way most Americans file their taxes, and the days of long lines at the post office have largely come to an end.
What was once the Super Bowl for postal workers has been whittled down to little more than a blip on the radar between Valentine's Day and Christmas.
"Due to the lower rate of filing coming in through the United States Postal Service, (Tax Day services) have been reduced," said Deborah Brady, a regional spokeswoman for the USPS.
This is the first year that the USPS has stopped offering extended hours at Bay Area post offices on Tax Day. In previous years, at least a handful of offices would stay open until midnight.
But take heart, procrastinators, there are still some options for late-night paper filing. Several post offices have later hours as part of their normal schedule, and others are offering late curbside drop-off:
- Oakland Main Post Office
1675 7th Street
Oakland CA 94615
Retail Service: 8:30 a.m. – 8:30 p.m.
Last mail collected from outside box: 10:00 p.m.
- San Jose Main Post Office
1750 Lundy Dvenue
San Jose CA 95101
Retail Service: 8:30 a.m. to 8:30 p.m.
Last mail collected from outside box: 10:00 p.m.
- Airport Station
660 Westfield Rd.
South San Francisco CA 94128
Retail service: 8 p.m.
Curbside mail collection: 10 p.m. (Mail must be stamped to get an April 15 postmark)
- San Francisco P&DC
1300 Evans Ave.
San Francisco CA 94120
Retail service: 8:30 p.m.
Curbside mail collection: 10 p.m. (Mail must be stamped to get an April 15 postmark)
All other post offices will be open according to the normal schedule available at USPS.com.
If you're a late-night filer, it's more important than ever that you get the correct postage on that mailing. The USPS offers this tip:
The first ounce (about three sheets of paper) on a letter-sized envelope is 49-cents. The first ounce on a larger flat-sized envelope (bigger than 6 1/8 inches X 11 1/2 inches) is 98-cents. Additional ounces are 21-cents each for both size mail pieces.

Irish Cup: Crumlin aiming to be the stars of the fifth round
Not many people will fancy Crumlin Star to spring a surprise against Crusaders in the Irish Cup fifth round this season, and Star boss Sean Brown agrees it is unlikely.
However, that won't stop the Amateur League cup specialists from having a go at registering one of the biggest shocks of recent times.
Followers of lower level football won't have too far to delve into the archives to recall the latest major headline-grabbing upset the Irish Cup threw up. Indeed, many Glentoran fans will still be reeling at the memory of their 1-0 fifth round defeat at the hands of Newington YC two years ago.
And while Brown will no doubt use that famous win by their north Belfast neighbours as a motivating factor for his players, he is just simply happy to be a part of a fixture that most of his rivals could only dream of.
He said: "Listen, we know we would need to play at our very best, and all the Crusaders players would have to have a massive off-day to even have a chance, but I grew up like a lot of people, watching the FA Cup and seeing the likes of Wimbledon go all the way. It can be done… Newington showed that.
"But I have been with Crumlin Star for 20 years now, and for us even to be involved in a game like this is unbelievable. I remember a time when me and Eamonn Hawkins were running around knocking on farmers' doors looking for a bit of land to play on in Mallusk."
There was a time, too, when the club were struggling to get a first team together. Back then, a young Sean Brown was part of a dedicated group of players who defied the odds to keep Crumlin Star together.
The commitment of those players was then rewarded as the Star went on to win Division 2C, 2B, 2A, 1C, IB and 1A titles. As well as picking up back-to-back Border Cups in the two seasons prior to this one, winning last year's Clarence Cup, and having lifted three Cochrane Corry Cups along the way, the club have also underlined their knockout credentials in their first Premier Division campaign by having reached this season's Steel & Sons Cup semi-finals.
Yet, win, lose or draw, Brown is under no illusion about where this occasion will rank in the club's journey so far.
"I know we have won a few cups and been involved in some very big games, but this is the biggest game in our history," stated the Crumlin Star boss.
"It's a massive day for the whole club, and we are bringing our Under-11s along to be mascots for the game. We intend to make the most of the occasion."
Crumlin Star captain Paul Berne admitted he has been counting down the days to the big game ever since the draw was made last month.
The skipper said: "We've been trying to get into the fifth round for four years now, so we're just delighted to make it to this stage. Last year we got to the fourth round before being knocked out by Bangor, so this year we felt we had to go one better.
"We certainly deserve to make it to the fifth round. So far we've knocked out Dollingstown, Newbuildings and Newry City, all of whom are top of their league, so we've worked hard to get here.
"The reality is, Crusaders are a whole different ball game for us, as they've Northern Ireland internationals and top Irish League players in their team. They went on a 23-game unbeaten run, which tells you everything you need to know.
"They're a top team and nobody expects us to win, but Newington showed a couple of years ago that it is possible for an Amateur League side to beat a Premiership team. Unfortunately for us, I think this Crusaders team is much better than that Glentoran side."
*The thoughts of all at Crumlin Star and the wider local football circle are with the family of Gary Whelan – a former long-serving player of the club, who has been battling for his life at the Royal Victoria Hospital since late last week.

TWO PERSONS were last Wednesday seriously burnt after an explosion occurred in a fuel tanker yard at the Heavy Industrial Area near the Driver's Vehicle and Licensing Authority office in Tema.
The two persons, who sustained various degrees of injury, were identified as Eric Boye, a 25-year-old resident of Ashaiman Lebanon and Jerry Odai, a 28-year-old Ashaiman Valco Flat resident.
The two fire victims were said to be illegal fuel dealers, popularly known as 'Belebele Boys'. They were siphoning petrol from a fuel tanker with a pumping machine when something suddenly went wrong which led to an explosion.
Aside from the two persons sustaining various degrees of injury, over 15 fuel tanks, gallons and fuel tankers loaded with petrol were completely destroyed in the blazing furnace which sparked at about 2:30 pm.
Jerry and Eric after the explosion were rushed to the Narh Bita Hospital at Community Four Tema. One of them was later transferred to Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital in Accra after medics at the first hospital had assessed his injury.
The Tema Regional Fire Service personnel were at the scene to bring the fire under control.
Benjamin Armah, a worker at the scene, mentioned that he was at work when he heard the explosion in the yard and quickly rushed there when he saw smoke accompanied by fire coming out of the place.
According to him, he rushed to the scene to help send the injured persons to the nearest hospital for medical attention before the fire service personnel arrived.
Mr Nii Gilford Tetteh Adam, Tema Regional Fire Service Commander, also told DAILY GUIDE that he was at the office when he received a call about the incident. He quickly put a team together and rushed to the scene to bring the situation under control.
According to him, the fire sparked as a result of illegal fuel dealers siphoning fuel from the fuel tanker with a pump which caught fire and quickly spread to the tanks containing petrol and diesel.
Mr Gilford advised the illegal fuel dealers to desist from the unlawful acts in order to preserve life and property.
The Tema Community One District Police Commander, Superintendent Victor Amedeker and his team of police officers were there to keep security at the place.

Ordered this after looking at similar models in Macys. The rounded top does lose a little space, but it worked very well for a 2 week trip to China. I got a lot of weight inside as it was the only one I took. Love the durabilty of the fabric. Just used it for a second trip in which it was checked and it came through without a scratch which I cannot say about the one piece I took. two things I do not care for both have to do with the handle: because it was a solid piece it takes up less space inside, but this particular one is very much thicker than the one I saw on a different model at Macys. In addition, it was forever turning around and I had to stop and straightern it out.. but maybe there is a trick to keeping it still. I will purchase a larger size for my next trip!! all in all I like the case..Read More
I would highly recommend this carry on to anyone. This is the most durable and spacious carry on luggage that I've ever purchased. I will never purchase anything else, but Victorinox luggage because of it's durability.Read More
I took this on an 11 day trip to europe. It survived being checked and rolls nicely. You get a little bit of extra room since the wheels are inset, although it seems like you're losing some space due to the top being rounded. The expansion feature only seems to give you another inch to an inch and a half, which is less than in other pieces of luggage I've had, but it's possible that it's still a carry on size when expanded.Read More
Honestly I have purchase cheap and moderately priced luggage. This was the most expensive. BUT, if you go online elsewhere, the price was $100.00 (yes, 100.00 dollars more). The luggage went to Europe and I am purchasing a set made by Victorinox! As much as I like Kohls or Macy's brandname luggages, they have never lasted. I purchased Samsonite, thinking it was better, but it only lasted 4 trips. My other luggage came back ripped at the bottom. I will not waste my money again wtih cheaper luggage. The hidden front space within this Victorinox held so much more than it shows. I actually put about 40 lbs in this little guy. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED as a great investment. Got the gray because the maroon was out. Am getting the next bigger size. The handle actually turns so the luggage won't spin around while you're pulling it. What a great invention! I was always twisting my wrist to turn my luggage. Such a find ~!~Read More
I love this brand, it last forever and then some. But then why do I buy more? Ah....color selection. lolRead More
Easy to pack, light, swivels, good to travel with in summer but in winter hard to fit in everything i need.Read More
this upright carry-on is an excellent choice for someone travelling for business or pleasure. It is small enough to be carried on to an airplane but has ample space to pack all your needs for a weekend get away or a business trip for few days. High quality materials all around. It is a bit heavier than I expected but then again it is durable and dependable. I work in a product distribution business and travel frequently all over the country and I wanted to test it out for couple of years before writing this review. Now that I have had enough companionship with this, I can certainly recommend to anyone looking for a good quality dependable carry-on luggage.Read More
It is a great prodeuct. Bought as a gift for my Dad-he loved it!Read More
Purchased for a Christmas gift but inspected bag after arrival. Appears to be well made and durable.Read More
Carry on fits more than anticipated. 2 pair shoes, 3 slacks, 4 shirts, and ancillary stuff. Plenty for a 3 day trip.Read More
This suitcase is great. I have been traveling a lot recently and my old suitcase needed replacing. The quality of the product is great. One thing I love about this suitcase is that it is lightweight compared to other options out there. It could be a little deeper to allow for more space for packing and I wish that there were handles on both sides of the case instead of just one, but overall i am very satisfied with the product. Also the price is great considering Victorinox products typically sell for much more.Read More

Outdoor Workers Risking Health
If you're lucky enough to be in the air conditioning, think about people who spend all day working outside. Landscapers, contractors, utility workers - they spend over eight hours in this smoke! Doctors say that kind of exposure is extremely dangerous. People with the Department of Transportation agree these are unhealthy conditions to be working in. Employees are suffering from eye, throat, and lung irritation.
"A lot of our projects we've shut down because of the fire and smoke," says Gina Busscher from the Department of Transportation.
With the wind constantly changing direction, D.O.T. says it's difficult to predict when exactly the smoke will be at it's heaviest, and when to send workers home. They are however, cutting back hours. And if the smoke gets too thick, they shut the job down entirely. Physicians say they shouldn't be outside at all, let alone eight-plus hours.
"You shouldn't be out unless you have to be out there, and if you have to be out there, then you should limit the time your out there and wear some kind of protective mask," says Dr. Veena Antony, Chief of Pulmonary Medicine.
Dr. Antony says even a completely healthy person who is exposed to smoke particles for too long, will suffer some sort of irritation. She says the number of patients with symptoms of asthma has increased within the last few days, and she believes it's due to the smokey conditions.

Has anyone found a way to modify a XBox to work on our stock video screens? I don't use my XBox much at home and would love to swap out the HD in it and put a mod-chip in there to play MP3's. My friend did it in his 350Z and it is really cool! He can play videos on it too. I suppose to just need a switch to toggle btwn the NAVI system and the XBox.

Plastpro CEO Honored by APALC
The Asian Pacific American Legal Center recently presented its 2010 Public Service Award to Walter and Shirley Wang in honor of their efforts to support and promote the Asian American and Pacific Islander community in China, Africa and the U.S.
Shirley Wang is CEO of Plastpro Inc., the fiberglass door manufacturer. Walter Wang, her husband, is CEO of JM Eagle, the producer of plastic pipe. The two were recognized for significant, multi-year contributions to APALC, which have helped that organization build its indigent legal services capacity, which provides legal representation for domestic violence, child custody and immigration matters to those who otherwise could not afford it. The Wangs have also established the nation's first endowed chair on U.S.-China relations and Chinese American studies at UCLA and also created an endowed chair in pediatric surgery at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles.
"Shirley and I are tremendously honored to receive this prestigious award from such a well-respected organization as APALC," says Walter Wang. "We are deeply committed to APALC's ideals and pledge to remain active in this important organization and to pursue its worthy goals."

Ex-turnpike CEO, others due in court in '60-40' scandal
HARRISBURG — A lawyer intends to prove that political corruption charges against former Pennsylvania Turnpike CEO Joe Brimmeier are "baseless and without fact" in a preliminary hearing that will begin on Monday.
The state Attorney General's Office in March charged Brimmeier, 65, of Ross and seven others as part of a multimillion-dollar "pay-to-play" scheme outlined by a grand jury that concluded the Turnpike Commission awarded contracts to companies donating to political campaigns and providing officials with gifts and travel. The hearing for six of the eight defendants could last five days.
"We're looking forward to the start of the preliminary hearing," said William Winning, a Philadelphia attorney representing Brimmeier. "This is the first step in the process of establishing Joe Brimmeier's total innocence on all of the charges filed against him."
This is the latest round of Pennsylvania corruption cases since 2009 that sent eight former legislative leaders to prison at the same time and placed an ex-Supreme Court justice under house arrest for felony convictions.
Brimmeier, a longtime fixture in Allegheny County Democratic politics, flatly denies the charges.
Attorney General Kathleen Kane based the charges on a three-year grand jury investigation that claimed defendants used the turnpike to "line their pockets and influence elections."
Investigators found the agency operated under the influence of former Senate Democratic Leader Bob Mellow and "Senator No. 6," whom the grand jury report makes clear is former power broker Vincent Fumo, a Philadelphia Democrat imprisoned on separate corruption charges.
Tony Lepore, Mellow's top staffer, told the grand jury that Brimmeier "took orders" from Mellow or Lepore to award contracts to particular vendors and require fundraising by turnpike staff and vendors.
Turnpike business, from engineering to professional services, was decided on a "60-40 rule." Most contracts went to the party in power, based primarily on the governor's party affiliation.
Brimmeier was former Democratic Gov. Ed Rendell's appointee, and Brimmeier played a key role in Rendell's 2002 campaign, directing events in Western Pennsylvania. The report does not accuse Rendell of wrongdoing. The Senate confirms Turnpike Commission members.
Brimmeier worked for Allegheny County government for 20 years in various capacities. He was former chief of staff to ex-U.S. Rep. Ron Klink.
On the eve of Kane's announcement of the charges, Brimmeier resigned from a seat on the board of Port Authority of Allegheny County.
Co-defendants include Mellow, 70, of Scranton, who is serving a federal sentence on unrelated corruption charges; former Turnpike Chairman Mitchell Rubin, 61, of Philadelphia; George Hatalowich, 47, of Harrisburg, the turnpike's former chief operating officer; and Dennis Miller, 51, a turnpike vendor.
Mellow waived his right to appear, but his attorney intends to contest the charges at the hearing before District Judge William Wenner in Dauphin County.
Former turnpike employee Raymond Zajicek, 67, of Tarpon Springs, Fla., waived his hearing. Another former employee, Melvin Shelton, 81, of Philadelphia, likely will have his hearing in September.
Most attorneys for those facing the hearing declined comment. Some could not be reached.
The allegation that turnpike officials awarded contracts based on contributions or gifts is "utterly false," said William Fetterhoff, a Harrisburg attorney representing Hatalowich. Following the testimony, "Mr. Hatalowich's innocence will be clear," Fetterhoff said.
The prosecution may call up to 28 witnesses.
A preliminary hearing establishes whether there is "sufficient evidence to sustain each of the charges," said Bruce Antkowiak, a former federal prosecutor and law professor at St. Vincent College. The district judge decides whether a defendant should face trial in Common Pleas Court.
In general, Antkowiak said, it's difficult to get charges dismissed at a preliminary hearing.

Hi all.
I have a four year old male shihtzu poo. I've had him since he was just a puppy. As a pup, he took to me and only me as his "master". The dog followed me everywhere for four long years. When I went to bed, he slept on my pillow, when I left the house, he wanted to come with, etc. He would come to me any day over any one else in the house.
For the last past two months though, my dog absolutely wants nothing to do with me. I am clueless as to why. He won't sleep with me, won't come to me when I call him, and generally just goes up to the third floor as much as possible ( the third floor is my son's room). When I try to take him outside, he runs from me, etc.
Also, he is peeing and pooping in the kitchen which is not only frustrating, but odd. I'll be honest- the dog has ALWAYS pooped in the house and outside as well, but peeing in the house is really unlike him. It took me a LONG time but crate training him finally worked and he started peeing outside two years ago consistently.
He is fixed, and has all of his shots, dewormed and frontlined. I took him to the vet last month and he was checked over for a clean bill of health.
The vet giggled at me when I told him his behaviors and said he doesn't really like me anymore- but I was looking for real advice, not giggles. I miss my "puppy". He's so tiny, I still call him my pup.
I have gone over EVERYTHING in my mind that I could have done wrong, but dogs pretty much have a zero memory. The only thing is, my cat had kittens and Bumper, my puppy, absolutely HATES kittens. I removed her and the kittens to the basement to no avail. Also, the spot where he is pooping and peeing at in the kitchen? Its right near a passway away from food where I keep the litter box. It SEEMS as though he is mad for the kittens being in the house, but why ignore me completely? If we could read their minds, huh? Just the other day, I found him chewing on a shoe. HE NEVER did this- not even as a pup except once and he learned right then and there not to do it anymore with a quick NO.
So in sum, I have a four year old dog, vet checked with no issues, that has resorted back to some puppy issues and won't come near me for the life of him. What do I do? I miss having my dog around me at all times.

Spanish and Italian borrowing costs sank again on Tuesday even though there is little compelling evidence that Spain is on the verge of a quick rebound and zero evidence that a fix will be found any time soon for Italy's deep recession and political fragility.
The yield on 10-year Spanish bonds fell five basis points to 4.03 per cent Tuesday, taking the one-year fall to 161 points (100 basis points equals one percentage point). That's the biggest drop among the large European Union countries. Spain's "spread" – or yield difference – over equivalent German bonds is now 230 points, the narrowest in more than two years.
Italy's 10-year yields also fell by five basis points to 4.14 per cent, for a one-year fall of 87 points. That level is high compared to the pre-crisis years, but low enough for the coalition government of Prime Minister Enrico Letta to claim that the worst of Italy's debt crisis is well gone. The Italian treasury is to sell a much as €6-billion ($8.6-billion) of five- and 10-year bonds on Wednesday.
Spain's good bond performance is partly to do with bond redemptions, which provided liquidity that was, apparently, plowed back into bond purchases, and partly to do with encouraging, if not stellar, economic data. On Tuesday, Spain's national statistics office reported a 2.2-per-cent rise in retail sales in September, year on year, after a 4.4-per-cent fall in August.
The Spanish economy is out of recession, but only barely, and economic recovery is expected to take many years. The International Monetary Fund does not expect Spanish unemployment, at 26 per cent, to fall below 25 per cent until 2018 because "the weak recovery will constrain employment gains."
So how do you explain the falling yields in two countries that remain economic laggards?
The European Central Bank is still working its magic, to be sure. Fifteen months ago, ECB president Mario Draghi promise to do "whatever it takes" to contain the debt crisis, ensuring that none of the bailed-out countries would bolt from the euro zone. To do so, the ECB would buy unlimited amounts of the bond of any country that had trouble financing itself. The so-called outright monetary transactions (OMT) program has never been used by the ECB, but its mere presence has scared off the bond vigilantes and restored calm to the bond markets.
Another reason appears to be that foreign investors have largely disappeared from the bond markets of the hardest-hit countries. The Financial Times on Monday reported that domestic investors in Spain and Italy, who are willing to settle for a lower risk premium than foreign investors, have bought almost all of their countries' debt issues this year. Their overwhelming presence has provided a stability that has not been seen since 2009, when Greece triggered the debt crisis. The buyers have been the banks that, laden with cheap ECB loans, have been loading up on Spanish and Italian debt. The bonds, in turn, are being used by the banks as collateral to obtain even more cheap ECB loans.
The danger is obvious. The link between the banks and their home-country governments is as strong as ever. If a fresh crisis erupts, and yields rise, both the governments and the banks would get into trouble. The former would face higher funding costs; the latter would be sitting on vast quantities of bonds with lower values. The pin has been put back into the sovereign bond grenade but the grenade is still there.Report Typo/Error
