American Celebrity Fined for Shooting Bear While Protecting His All-American Family
DULUTH, MINNESOTA, February 28, 2007--
Americans are aghast at Nancy Pelosi interfering with a local matter conerning a family man protecting his loved ones from a vicious bear attack.
Wikiality.com learned today that Troy Lee Gentry, the "top" in the duo "Montgomery Gentry", has been fined $1.5-million and sentenced to 6 months in prison. Mr. Gentry's National Hunting License, which allows him to hunt in every one of these United States, was also permanently revoked.
NRA spokesman under probation, Jim Zumbo, took questions from the media.
Wikiality.com: "Mr. Zumbo, aren't you in the doghouse with the NRA?"
Mr. Zumbo: "Yes, but since I love them so much, I promised to do whatever I had to to get back in their good graces...(starts weeping) God I love them so much..."
Wikiality.com: "Mr. Zumbo, you're holding a piece of paper, is that a prepared statement? I was under the impression you were going to take questions, not read some focus-group vetted talking points memo; which is it, we're at war."
Mr. Zumbo: "I'm sorry, please forgive me...um...I wrote this myself, um and I'm going to read it first, then take questions...The NRA is a group of patriotic Americans who love the Constitution more than any commie-loving democratic...oops, democrat."
Wikiality.com: "Mr. Zumbo, that sounds like the NRA wrote it.
Mr. Zumbo: "Oh god! I'm sorry, they did write it, but I promised I would read whatever they wanted me to...um...let me finish...in conclusion, Nancy Pelosi eats children. I will now take your questions, yes, Wikiality.com..."
Wikiality.com: "Mr. Zumbo, there are reports coming out that Mr. Gentry shot and killed a bear because it attacked his family....
Mr. Zumbo: "Yes? What was your question?"
Wikiality.com: "No question, we just wanted to know when he was going to be released from prison and given the Medal of Freedom?"
Mr. Zumbo then broke down in a fit of violent sobbing and taken away in a nondescript vehicle.
Mr. Zumbo, the NRA contacted Wikiality.com and has this short message to pass along:
"You still suck, loser."
The Greatest First Black Secretary of State of the United States, Retired Four-Star General and Internationally-Renown Speaker to Address Consultants' Group
SCOTTSDALE, ARIZONA, February 27, 2007--
Colon Powell has been chosen to be the keynote speaker for AMR Research's annual Supply Chain Executive Conference (scheduled for May 30-June 1, 2007).
AMR Research, a consulting firm:
"focused on the intersection of business processes with supply chain and enterprise technologies."
AMR Research chose Mr. Powell for his outstanding advisory role for the administration of The Greatest President Ever:
"Mr. Powell was instrumental in his role as advisor to the President. We applaud his streamlining the information that helped America to bring democracy to Iraq. In fact, if it wasn't for Mr. Powell's own enterprising intersectioning of the supply chain of oil in Iraq with the business processes and technologies of Halliburton, there woulod be no success in Iraq; it would most likely be a civil war."
Wikiality.com would like to congratulate Mr. Powell on this second career and wish him as many successes as it takes to get that fifth star, shuck and jive, general, shuck and jive!
Oscar Telecast Causes Lesbianism in Koalas
PORPOISE SPIT, AUSTRALIA, February 26, 2007--
All-American families in Australia were shocked to see koala bears at a zoo engage in Lesbionic Sexual Activities immediately following Hollywood's Oscar awards ceremony hosted by Ellen DeGeneres.
The family made sure to watch the debauchery for a full 3 hours to be sure their extensive handwritten notes and videotapes (complete with play-by-play narration) documented every moment as acurately as possible.
The parents told Wikiality.com they will return for the next 10 days to see how long exposure to a lesbian lasts in the lesser beasts.
"Obviously Hollywood doesn't care for the children," the unnamed female parent said through the other unnamed parent, "It's these kinds of things that really chaps my father's hide, and why he doesn't support my, excuse me, that lifestyle even if it is in his family...and I'm not saying he is related to bears, or that I am his lesbian daughetr, I'm just saying how fervently he holds onto his beliefs."
Barney Frank refused to return Wikiality.com's repeated calls for his reaction to the story, even when we changed our voices and pretended to be Barbra Streisand.
Renown Hunter Calls Ground Squirrels Terrorists
UNDISCLOSED LOCATION, USA, February 26, 2007--
Jim Zumbo, the darling of America's manly hunting fraternity has declared an all-out war on ground squirrels.
"Excuse me, maybe I'm a traditionalist, but I see no place for these ... among our hunting fraternity," Mr. Zumbo said in a smoke-signal msessage, presumably about the ground squirrels, "... I'll go so far as to call them 'terrorist ... s."
Mr. Zumbo has been on the forefront of America's love of hunting using assault weapons, hosting a cable television news program that promotes them, a blog that encourages their use for hunting and getting into furious slapfights with hunters who do not use them.
The only celebrity to speak to Wikiality.com, Tom Selleck, the first post-Heston NRA president, calls Mr. Zumbo, "a man whose 40 years with the NRA can just about let him get away with doing or saying anything; he is simply that dedicated to reasonable, rational gun ownership. And we at the NRA salute him for his patriotism, his shining lifestyle example and especially for his many, many years of membership."
Wikiality.com called and left a message on Rosie O'Donnell's voicemail asking if she would let Prince Albert out of the can. We also called Michael Moore and told him he was fat before hanging up.
Bears Infiltrate Canada's Supreme Court
OTTAWA, ONTARIO, CANADA, FEBRUARY 24, 2007-- Bears have infiltrated Canada's Supreme Court and drugged Canada's Supreme Court justices prior to the Court delivering a key decision on security certificates, which allow the Canadian government to hold terrorists without right to a hearing at the luxury terrorist resort Gitmo North. As a result of the drugging, the Supreme Court voted 9 - 0 yesterday to strike down security certificates as a violation of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Luckily, the drugs were not potent enough. The certificates will remain in effect for a year until the government can write stronger legislation.
Prince Harry Being Exploited by Nancy Pelosi and Her Band of Filthy Liberals!
WORCHESTERSHIRE-ON-HAVERSHIM, ENGLAND, February 23, 2007--
The deployment of Prince Harry has become a boon for bloodthirsty bleeding heart-types. Wikiality.com has learned that the plan is to have Prince Harry deployed to the Iran-Iraq border, placed in the line of fire in the hopes he will be killed or wounded, then to charge The Greatest President Ever for his murder and/or injuries!
And get this: the liberals are forcing The Greatest President Ever to do this in the hopes he will not invade Iran! Everyone knows The Greatest President Ever has no plans to invade Iran! And even if he did want to invade Iran, he wouldn't have to go under such manufactured circumstances; a Prince wouldn't have to get killed to create a reason to stop a killer worse than Hitler!Wikiality.com shares the presidential mother/wife's sentiments and encourages all the internets citizens to ignore the idea that Prince Harry is being sent into the line of fire to get killed in order for the U.S. to invade Iran!
Pretend you didn't read about Prince Harry being used as cannonfodder to expand a never-ending obscenely profitable regional war and never think of it again!
Bears destroy the Colboard

Lieberman Questioning Political Orientation
WASHINGTON, D.C., February 22, 2007--
A spokesman for Connecticut Senator Joseph I. Lieberman announced today that the senator would be entering counseling to help him with issues relating to his political orientation.
Recently reports about Mr. Lieberman's daliances with members of both parties have surfaced leading many to believe he might not be what he was elected as.
Wikiality.com has learned that Mr. Lieberman was seen in a cloakroom with a Senator from Florida, whose party was not clear.
The Senator's wife refused to return calls for a comment, but an unnamed Washington insider did tell Wikiality.com that Mr. Lieberman has entered a special facility to work with rabbis to deal with his wavering orientation, "Give him two weeks to come back to the real world; he ain't no fag"
Wikiality.com will be following this story and update our readers as new details emerge. ###
Federal Audit Shows How Well The Greatest President Ever Is Protecting America
WASHINGTON, D.C., February 21, 2007--
Since 9/11 no President has protected America's National Security or Interests better than The Greatest President Ever has, a federal report found.
The Office of the Inspector General (OIG) conducted an extensive investigation into how much The Greatest President Ever Loves his country and The Baby Jesus and the findings were astounding!
"What we found can only be described as an unprecedented, unqualified unfailure," an unnamed prosecutor with the OIG disclosed to Wikiality.com during a phone interview, "Nancy Pelosi can go to hell with all her 'troop-hating' rhetoric. This President loves America, and this report proves it! Let the surge begin, Woo Hoo!!!"
The report is a full 9,000 pages long and describes in exacting detail every aspect of The Greatest President Ever's plan to protect this country.
From the number of terrorists taken into custody, the number of terrorist scum arrested to the astronomical number of successful convictions against these America Haters, the report clearly shows which President has been on the forefront of Protecting America since 9/11: The Greatest President Ever!
When he discovered that Wikiality.com was going to publish the findings of the report, Charles Schumer has a hissy fit.
Wikiality.com believes it is beneath the stature of an elected official to have any of those hateful things Representative Schumer said in the public record, so we here at Wikiality.com News have declined to participate in such mud-slinging.
Nice try, Chuck.

Terrorist Made Donations to John Kerry's 2004 Presidential Campaign
WASHINGTON, D.C., February 20, 2007--
It was revealed today that former Democrat Presidential Candidate, John Kerry actively sought funds for his campaign from terrorists.
An unnamed Republican National Congressional Committee source told Wikiality.com that Mr. Kerry had performed extensive studies into terrorists' funding operations in order to defeat America by changing leaders in the middle of a war.
Mr. Kerry, it was learned, sought the richest, best connected terrorist cell from which to receive these funds, Bank der Gutschrift und des Handels Zwischenallen Nationen, the reknowned Mooslim cell in Hamburger, Germany the same terror cell featured on 60 Minutes.
The lead investigator (who insisted on keeping her humble identity a secret) was following a hunch,
"My assistants had to hold me back, otherwise my dogged interrogation style would have caused him to commit suicide. I only had a 20 minute window with the satellite linkup, so no matter how he tried to evade my questioning, or flip flop the subject, he wouldn't have been able to avoid the charges: John Kerry, you are a terorist, duckett all you want, I know the truth! I am very proud of myself!"
Indeed, and so is all of America.
Based on the evidence present, Mr. Kerry was arrested, taken into custody, booked, fingerprinted, had his body cavities thoroughly searched, his head shaved, given a tattoo of a teardrop next to his eye--all of which was videotaped and displayed on a wall of video screens provided by Fox News and linked to on The YouTube.
Then his filthy rich wife, Teresa Heinz Kerry paid his $50 million bail with money she found in the couch of one of her summer homes. ###
Harley-Davidson Motorcycles Defeats Terrorists in Pennsylvania
YORK, PENNSYLVANIA, February 17, 2007--
Just in time to cleanly promote their non-$cientology-related movie, "For the Last Time, John Travolta Is Not Gay--Look, He's Riding A Motorcycle!", Harley-Davidson motorcycles was able to defeat a cell of 2,800 terrorists and reopen their manufacturing plant.
In a clear attack on America's heartland, insurgents surrounded the defenseless Harley plant on February 2, 2007, preventing any free-market capitalism from taking place.
The liberal media ignored the story because it did not jibe with the insurgent's communist agenda, with whom the liberal media whores are in league.
An unnamed soldier fighting for Harley-Davidson and the American Way, was able to provide the following statement to Wikiality.com before attending the victory party:
""Harley-Davidson ... they're on the brink of bankruptcy ... union members ... let it die ... they've obviously forgotten how ... company leaders ... agreed to ... build pride into every motorcycle ... in ... America ..."
No liberal was able to provide any balance to this story before Wikiality.com had to close up shop for the weekend.
Sorry guys, you snooze you lose!
Nancy Pelosi Retaliates for Having Fleet of Military Planes Revoked
BAGHDAD, IRAQ, February 16, 2007--
Another peaceful day in Iraq has been shattered by the power of Nancy Pelosi's hatred for The Greatest President Ever.
In direct retaliation for not being allowed to keep her fleet of state-of-the-art military airplanes, Nancy Pelosi caused yet another military helicopter to crash in Iraq, bringing the total to a number so astronomical, the General Accounting Office has not been able to keep track.
"It's really taking its toll," an unnamed White House spokesman disclosed to Wikiality.com under the condition his identity remain secret, "on The Greatest President Ever. Emotionally, I don't believe he can attend as many military funerals as he used to. The Greatest President Ever is committed to his troops and refuses to reduce the number [of funerals he attends] just because he doesn't feel well; he is just not that guy."
Wikiality.com did some research to discover why so many helicopters are still in Iraq since The Greatest President Ever declared Mission Accomplished.
A helpful Fox Journalist was able to help Wikiality.com with the information, stating:
- "If you look at this drawing in the sand I made earlier today for Steve Doocy helicopters were taking off from this area, and Nancy Pelosi was hating from this area clearly causing the crashes."
The interview with this intrepid reporter was cut short due to a sand storm that blew aluminum siding across Iraq.
Nancy Pelosi was unavailable for comment because she was obviously at some lesbionic symposium with Cindy Sheehan and really hates Our Troops. ###
Vermont College Bans Wikip*dia Citations
MIDDLEBURY, VT, February 14, 2007--
In yet another triumph for Our Glorious Stephen, a small east coast liberal arts college vows to no longer allow Wikip*dophilia in their classrooms.
Now, if we can just get The Bible back in their schools and gay marriages out of their churches, Vermontarians might not be going to hell.
P.S. Vermont: you are always welcome to use Wikiality.com instead.
U.S. Troops May Be Redeployed To Nicaragua
CRAWFORD, TX, February 14, 2007--
After a full day of press conferences, The Greatest President Ever announced from the Western White House that U. S. Troops would be redeployed to Nicaragua.
Accompanying The Greatest President Ever for the announcement were:
- Dick Cheney
- Condoleezza Rice
- Hamid Karzai
- and several unnamed executives from the major American oil corporations.
Wikiality.com contacted Al Franken to respond to this surprise redeployment, since he hates The Greatest President Ever and everything he does, including bringing democracy to Iraq.
Franken immediately changed the subject to his senate campaign and what was he going to wear, and what was he going to do with his hair, and blah, blah, blah. No one cares, Al. Can't you just be happy that the troops are going to Nicaragua? Isn't that what you want?
Give it a rest already!
John McCain To Speak to Christian Group
SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, February 13, 2007--
The Discovery Institute has announced the keynote speaker for their luncheon during Seattle's World Affairs Council.
The Discovery Institute is America's leading Christian Science group, and we don't mean those freakshows who blather on about Amie Semple McPhearson (or whatever), we mean those people who do not interpret The Bible, but instead obey it. And love The Baby Jesus, etc.
Mr. McCain was always the group's first choice and no amont of money donated to the group in exchange for the mutual support between the group and Mr. McCain was necessary not did any such thing occur.
When asked to comment about Mr. McCain's appearance or a creationist group inviting him to speak, the cancerous growths evolving on his face, released the following statement through a spokesman,
"Mr. McCain is a good American, and I support his candidacy for President. A better man to represent this nation's science education can't be found. Thank you."###

Ted Haggard Totally Ex-Gay Again
DENVER, COLORADO, February 6, 2006--
The Rev. Ted Haggard emerged from three weeks of intensive counseling convinced he is "completely heterosexual" and told an oversight board that his sexual contact with men was limited to his accuser.
That is according to one of the disgraced pastor's overseers, who on Monday revealed new details about where Haggard has been and where he is headed.
When asked to comment, John Kerry said some horrible things about Dick Cheney's Lesbian Daughter that Wikiality.com cannot post without having to face stiff fines.
Star Whores
America's Space Station, February 6, 2006
N.A.S.A., when not planning on trips to conquer Mars, are planning their own line of Girls Gone Wild, but in outerspace! Upon hearing about Joe Francis's overtures into the stratosphere, N.A.S.A. felt their turf was being horned in on, so they decided to up the ante and train their own cadre of uninhibited women. Since these girls are scientists, they are more likely to be Godless and prone to acting out in an unprofessional manner not befitting the title of a Girl Gone Wild.
Satan's Handmaiden Demands Use of Air Force 1 for Her Entourage
WASHINGTON D.C., February 4, 2006--
An unnamed intrepid Fox journalist has undercovered another example of the Democrat's plot to destroy America.
Satan's representative in America's Congress, Nancy Pelosi, has demanded use of Air Force 1 when she flies around the country undermining The Baby Jesus' love, promoting communism and making everyone gay.
Rudy Giuliani, Republican candidate for President in 2008 , was shocked and outraged by the blatant abuse of power,
"This is outrageous. If I were in charge of the Congress, there would be a lot more nightstick anal probes, I can guarantee you."
Few details were given regarding the insidious plot:
- Pelosi demands that Air Force 1 be available when she goes shoe shopping
- Pelosi demanded a total of 4 jets:
- Air Force 1, so she can soil it with her filthy, filthy agenda
- another for her shoes
- another for consanginous family
- the last one to carry all the aborted fetuses she eats to stay alive
However, one can safely assume Mrs. Satan does not have America's best interests in mind and if any of this were not true, she can call and demand a retraction from Wikiality.com.
When asked why the reporter would not release his name he said, "I don't want the story to be about me, I have all the fame any man who discovered Al Capone's vault could ever want; This is bigger than any one man."
With that, the masked reporter ran off to save an old lady crossing the street.
February 2nd Was Groundhog Day
In his annual celebration, Vice President Dick Cheney has poked his head out of Undisclosed Location to predict whether the existing political climate will continue.
"This is my favorite time of year," said an unnamed Defense Contractor who watched the celebration on Fox News, "and this year did not disappoint!"
The ritual has been the party for Defense Contractors since it began the day after Eisenhower gave up the ghost. It started as a prank amongst friends and has grown to include both Bush Family defense firms and is celebrated simultaneously in two countries: America and Saudi Arabia. Every year, Defense Contractors eagerly await the Vice President's emergence from his subterranian lair to declare how taxes will be alloted. This year, Mr. Cheney did not see his shadow predicting 6 more months of secrecy and no-bid contracts.
The crowd cheered and Mr. Cheney descended back into the earth.
When asked to comment, Joe Biden said Mr. Cheney was the most articulate and clean rodent-like Vice President in at least a generation.
Kissinger Nominates The Greatest President Ever For Secret Plan To End War!
Dr. Henry Kissinger (friend of the show) has announced today that The Greatest President Ever has a plan that is so secret, that it will definately end the war in Iraq.
"I have seen the plan, and it will work. No doubt about it. There is no way that it can't. I just can't reveal any details."Immediately after the announcement, all persons within earshot instantaneously began celebrating!
But, as it turns out, Dr. Kissinger was not finished with his surprises:
"I was so impressed with The Greatest President Ever's Double Super-Secret plan, that I had to nominate him for a Nobel Peace Prize; not just for the plan itself, but for making it so secret and for making it so awesome.
I am certain they will award him without having to compromise National Security by reviewing the plan based on my nomination alone. I know these Nobel people and they know me, and if I tell them I nominated someone for the Peace Prize they will give it to him."
Well said, Dr. Kissinger.
Blasphemous "Knowledge Hole" Ruined For Good!
Hallelujah! The Lord God (praise His name!) has seen fit at long last to blind the Liberal Sodomic-Eye-Hole that had peered into God's sacred heavens.
Finally, We may be free from the lies and blasphemy that liberals have brought unto His Earth!
No longer shall we be subject to the desperate rantings of the scientocracy of nerds with a really big telescope!
From now on, American, Christian children will not be subject to anything that contradicts The Bible!
Only the Lord's Word will be taught!
"This can only mean one thing for my constituents," said John McCain, senator from Arizona, home to one of Hubble's replacements.
Mr. McCain continued, "and by constituents I mean corporations, and by jobs I mean government contracts."
The interview had to be cut short in order for Mr. McCain to catch the "Straight-Talk Express" before it left the station.

COLUMN: Right-Washing the New Deal
Blog ››› ››› KARL FRISCH
It's probably a good thing that cable news generally doesn't draw much of an audience from the 18- to 24-year-old demographic. Otherwise, history professors across the nation could very well be witnessing the undoing of their work to educate students about the dire economic climate the United States faced for much of the 1930s.
Those who have been watching cable news lately have undoubtedly noticed the litany of conservative media figures attempting to rewrite history by denigrating the tremendous successes of President Franklin Delano Roosevelt's New Deal policies in what amounts to an orchestrated effort to derail the economic recovery plans of President Obama.
Fox News Washington managing editor Brit Hume recently called Roosevelt's policies "a jihad against private enterprise," just after claiming that "everybody agrees, I think, on both sides of the spectrum now, that the New Deal failed." That may be accurate if by "both sides of the spectrum" Hume is referring to the right and far-right over at Fox News.
Hume's own jihad against the facts, however, represents only a small portion of the historical misrepresentations passed off as reasoned debate about the New Deal.

National Academy of Engineering at Chavez
The Academy of Engineering (AOE) are new schools that focus high school students on careers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). They are designed to help meet the increasing demand for qualified employees in the field of engineering. The National Academy Foundation (NAF), Project Lead The Way (PLTW), and NACME have joined forces to create these small learning communities.
The goals of the Academies of Engineering are to:
- Recruit and encourage more high school students to choose careers in engineering and engineering technology.
- Increase the participation of women and underrepresented minorities in the study of engineering.
- Prepare high school graduates to enter postsecondary engineering and engineering technology programs fully competent in required mathematics, science, and technical subjects.
The Education Task Force began in 2006 with the mission of vitalizing public education in the East End. An interactive partnership of the Chamber, Houston Independent School District and Chavez High School implemented Project Lead the Way and today over 400 students are enrolled in the program.
Rice University joined the partnership to launch a summer enrichment program for Project Lead the Way students at Chavez High School in June 2008! Students are challenged with experiential science and math classes taught by Rice master teachers, and enjoy field trips to Rice and East End businesses. The program is a pilot project for Rice, with the East End as the first beneficiary!

A chemical spill that has forced the evacuation of 200 workers from a factory strip in Melbourne's outer north is not expected to be cleared until late this afternoon, firefighters say.
Emergency services were called to PJ Meats in Thomastown after workers noticed a strong smell of ammonia on the factory floor about 11.20am.
Metropolitan Fire Brigade spokesman Jennifer Roberts said 60 workers from the High Street factory were immediately evacuated, along with 120 workers from two adjoining factories.
She said 25 litres of ammonia had spilled from the factory's refrigeration system, sending fumes throughout the workplace.
The leak had been contained and firefighters in splash suits and breathing apparatus were conducting atmospheric monitoring within the factory, she said.
''At this stage what we're doing is sending in crews to disperse the liquid ammonia and start ventilating the area,'' she said, adding the area was not expected to be deemed safe for workers to return until about 5pm.
Earlier, MFB spokesman Trevor Woodward said ammonia fumes could damage a person's eyes and cause extreme pain.
"Ammonia loves moisture, the eyes, nose and throat. It's a high irritant,'' he said.
''If you walk into an atmosphere with a lot of ammonia in it, it's a very unpleasant to the throat, to the eyes and in very high concentrations can cause severe damage to the eyes, so that's why everyone has been evacuated."
He said there was an "almost identical leak" at the same premises two years ago, which took about five days to clean up.
WorkSafe Victoria inspectors are also at the scene.

A weekly analysis of the Cowboys' quarterback play:
Rewind: Tony Romo completed 30 of 42 passes for 298 yards in the Cowboys' 17-16 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 2 with a 2-yard touchdown pass to Dez Bryant, who had 141 receiving yards for the game. The numbers speak to an accurate day for Romo, but after a fourth-quarter scramble in which he was hit by defensive tackle Dontari Poe, he completed 6 of 13 passes and was unable to deliver a game-winning drive. Romo said his bruised ribs were not an issue, but he did take a pain-killing injection before the game and could get one this week if needed. If Romo wasn't getting the ball down the field to Bryant, he wasn't getting the ball down the field at all, and Bryant made a couple of great catches on throws not on the money.
Fast-forward: The talk around the Cowboys the first two games has been the lack of a running game, but the Rams enter the game allowing 330 passing yards a game after allowing Arizona's Carson Palmer and Atlanta's Matt Ryan to throw for more than 300 yards in both games. The Rams' strength is their front four with Chris Long and Robert Quinn providing pressure, but the Cowboys' protection has been solid considering how many times Romo has thrown it in two games.
Fast start a must: Romo has thrown a Cowboys-record 180 touchdown passes in his career, but he has only 27 of them in the first quarter. Slow starts have been an issue for the Cowboys in the past, but they have scored field goals on their opening drives in each of the first two games. With a fan base wondering whether this is the same old team, Romo has to establish a tone early. He has had success against the Rams. In two starts (both wins), he has completed 35 of 57 passes for 505 yards with five touchdowns and one interception.
Prediction: Last week I said Romo would finish with close to 300 yards against the Chiefs, and he did, but he finished a touchdown short of the prediction. He will be close to 300 yards again Sunday but this time he will have more big plays down the field to Bryant and Miles Austin.

It appears you're trying to run physdiskwrite by clicking on its icon.
Rather, try opening a command line (Start->Run...->cmd) and type in
the command using its location, such as "c:\physdiskwrite -u
c:\generic-pc-1.231". This will write to the usb drive which you can
then try booting from.
Be aware that it can be tricky booting from a usb drive. Your computer
must support booting from a usb drive and you may need to do other
prep on the drive if it doesn't work. There is a thread in the forum
(http://forum.m0n0.ch/index.php/topic,78.msg2348.html) that could be
of help.

The city council had a third and final reading of the proposed changes to the city's agricultural ordinance at a regular meeting Tuesday, Dec. 3.
A need to examine the current ordinance came to light when WL resident Clare Palmer asked the council if she was permitted to house horses on her property.
She is located on Walnut Street behind the fairgrounds, but within the city's limits.
While researching an answer, the council realized that there are two conflicting codes on the books. A zoning ordinance claims she can have horses, while an old police ordinance claims she cannot within city limits.
City Clerk Missy Carter said the city had to decide which ordinance needed to be amended.
"There were two conflicting codes," she said. "This city's zoning code said that you could have livestock (within city limits) and then there is a police code which is in the same code of ordinances that says that you cannot have any livestock within city limits."
"They decided to change the zoning and not allow the animals within city limits," she added. "We [city] define agricultural as just crop farming and horticulture'"
After discussing the issue during a regular meeting and a work session in late August, Mayor Thomas asked members of the council if they wanted farm animals in town.
"I don't think we should be encouraging new agricultural uses in our city limits," he said.
However, Thomas said that some property owners within city limits who have livestock fall under the 'grandfather' clause. However, if they stop using the land for livestock then they would not be able to go back to raising livestock later under the new ordinance.
If the ordinance passes its final reading Dec. 3, it would take effect immediately. Those properties already 'grandfathered' in would still be permitted to have livestock.
Specifically, the new ordinance will state land usage in city limits can only be used for crop farming and horticulture purposes.
Carter said that is what should be emphasized to residents. "I think if they understand that agricultural farming (livestock) is no longer allowed... that is the main thing," she said.
Penalties for violating the new ordinance, considered municipal infractions, would not exceed $500 for the first offense. Reoccurring offenses would not exceed $750.

text: Libby said Ford's ( F) luxury division, which had a 0.7% share in the first six months of 2012, "can be a player, but it is just at the beginning of the path to getting back in the luxury market. Lincoln's product portfolio currently is much narrower and smaller than that of its main competitors." Cadillac's decline was probably inevitable given GM's decisions to delay or cancel product programs during its 2009 restructuring. "We are now seeing the ramifications of those changes," Libby said. Not only does "Cadillac's current product portfolio not measure up to that of any of its major luxury competitors," but also the European manufacturers "enjoy and will continue to enjoy stronger, richer, and deeper luxury reputations, (following) decades of marketing consistency and discipline," he wrote. BMW, Libby reminded, has been touting the same tag line -- "The Ultimate Driving Machine" -- for over 30 years. The new face of Cadillac will be shown next Friday night. -- Written by Ted Reed in Charlotte, N.C. >To contact the writer of this article, click here: Ted Reed >To follow the writer on Twitter, go to http://twitter.com/tedreednc.

This review is from: TP-LINK Archer C9 Wireless AC1900 Dual Band Gigabit Router
Pros: Compared to other routers, aside from being a more modern radio and supporting new protocols, nothing else makes it great.
Cons: My wired desktops throughout the office constantly lose connectivity. I have ping consoles and network monitoring software running on my computer to monitor some remote servers, and all constantly show those locations are down. While at the same time, browsers freeze or my SSH sessions hang.
I wired some desktops directly into the router to bypass a managed Hewlett Packard switch, in case the problem was nic negotiation with that switch, and yet, the problem still happens.
I can't work when my connectivity goes out for a few seconds several times per minute.
The router's software lacks a way to see statistics on its ethernet ports. Thus, I can't see if perhaps auto negotiation is not negotiating properly, or if there is packet errors, etc.
If you are an advanced and frequent user, I do not recommend it.

Pros: Fast, high capacity.
Cons: We purchased several of these units for usage by our employees. Several of them are exhibiting data corruption after just a few months of usage. I am constantly finding corrupted files on my own.
Other Thoughts: The previous generation of the Xporters, the longer rubbery ones, were solid. We had used dozens of them for many years without a single problem.READ FULL REVIEW
This review is from: SUPERMICRO MBD-X8DTL-iF-O Dual LGA 1366 Intel 5500 ATX Dual Intel Xeon 5500 and 5600 Series Server Motherboard
Pros: These are some of the best server boards you can find in the market at this price. There are basically no cons. Most of the "cons" in other reviews is from users that are not familiar with the complexities of such board.
Cons: No cons. For the last year, we've used them to build a Xen based cloud that now has more than 300 servers with these boards. No failures whatsoever except for a board that I am sure we accidentally zapped with static.
Other Thoughts: If you aren't familiar with servers, please educate yourself first. The complaints I see in these reviews are from ignorance.
First of all, it uses NEHALEM Xeons, which all need ECC Registered RAM. To the one who says board will not post with 5506 CPUs and DDR3-1333: 5506 CPUs only use up to 800Mhz RAM, only Xeon 5550 and higher will use 1333Mhz RAM. And it HAS TO BE ECC Registered RAM!
Chipset temperature is a bit high. These boards are meant to be in cases with high power fans blowing directly at these chipsets and CPUs, using an air flow cover.
If a case fan causes the BIOS to lock up, you have a grounding problem.
RMA process at Supermicro is 24 hour turnaround. I call, they send the equipment in advance (if I pay for it) and then they wait for yours to arrive. Supermicro is a business equipment manufacturer. You have to be willing to pay.
If you use ECC, non registered RAM, the board will work. However, yes, it will crash from time to time, because that is the WRON

The UCSF Dentistry / UCSF Dental Alumni Association 117th Scientific Session at Alumni Weekend enjoyed considerable success April 26-27, 2013, with 400-plus attendees - more than any other UCSF health professions school according to UCSF Chancellor Susan Desmond-Hellmann, who addressed the Annual UCSF Dental Alumni Association Luncheon and Awards Ceremony on Saturday the 27th.
The UCSF family gathered for the second annual UCSF Alumni Weekend at the historic Palace Hotel in downtown San Francisco for two days of fun, celebration, science, learning, and commemoration: continuing education, table clinics and poster sessions, honors and recognition of many kinds, and of course, reunions and parties.
The UCSF School of Dentistry Class of 1963 was recognized on the 50th anniversary of their graduation at the UCSF DAA Luncheon and Awards Ceremony, as were UCSF Dental Alumni Association Medal of Honor Recipients Harvey Brody (D'63) and Po-Ping Wong (D'65).
Winners of the largest-ever DAA Student Research Competition were also recognized, including: (Graduate Category) Joyce Sumi, MSDH; (Predoc Category) 1st Place: JT Brothers; 2nd Place: Molly Hague; 3rd Place: Joy Chang; 4th Place: Tiffany Hsu; 5th Place: Ligia Padilla; 6th Place: Natalie La Rochelle.
Pete Escovedo headlined a lively kickoff reception the first evening at which UCSF Dentistry attendees set a stylish tone on the dance floor. Amid a festive buffet dinner, lively conversation flowed as alumni from across the UCSF campus connected and reunited.
UCSF Dentistry Dean John D.B. Featherstone took note of the event's exceptional success in his own address to the DAA luncheon, and in innumerable conversations with gathered alumni throughout the weekend. So did UCSF Dental Alumni Association President Carmen Hipona (D'96) in acknowledging the great work of her organizing team, and in anticipating a repeat of this year's strong showing at 2014's 118th Scientific Session at Alumni Weekend.

Palestinians told American Jewish leaders visiting here this week that they remained committed to the peace process, but said Israel's credibility depended on the government's disarming of Jewish extremists.
Jewish settlers in the Jordan Valley told the same visiting Americans that they feared that the armed Palestinian police force promised in the peace accord with the Palestine Liberation Organization threatened their safety.
The American Jewish leaders were here for the annual mission of the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations, a meeting this year held under the shadow of last Friday's attack by a Jewish settler in a Hebron mosque.
They found what one delegate, Lawrence Rubin, described as "a very difficult time," in which the Israeli government "feels betrayed, the settlers feel abandoned and the Palestinians feel vulnerable." Rubin is executive vice chair of the National Jewish Community Relations Advisory Council.
The delegates roundly condemned the massacre of at least 40 worshippers, with most fearing the damage caused to the peace process and eager to see peace negotiations get back on track.
Several hoped that the United States would not allow the Palestinians to exploit the tragedy to change the terms of the negotiations.
"A lot depends on the U.S. reaction," said Malcolm Hoenlein, executive vice chairman of the Conference of Presidents.
"When the U.S. says this isn't going to change the ground rules (for the talks), it sends a message to those who would try to exploit the tragedy to extract political concessions which properly belong in the negotiating sessions," said Hoenlein.
"It's not that the peace process is in danger, it's that it's fragile," said Rubin. "It's important for us to be as supportive as possible of Israel and for the U.S. government to get the peace process back on track."
"There is a threat of polarization, both Palestinian and Israeli," he continued. "The challenge for the Israeli leadership is to ensure the polarization not be allowed to predominate."
In east Jerusalem, Mahdi Abdul Hadi, of the Palestinian Academic Society for the Study of International Affairs, addressed the group after asking it to rise for a moment of silence for the victims of the massacre.
"We, the Palestinians, took the decision that we're still interested in peace," he said. "We are still committed to the accords and still committed to dialogue in spite of the pain."
At the same time, Abdul Hadi lamented what he said was the failure of Israel to deliver on any of its promises.
"Nothing has changed on the ground and we are still victims of the occupation," he said.
This is "a testing time," he added. "If there is no change, we will see more blood, more pain and more suffering."
He also said he saw, in the wake of the massacre, the start of a transformation of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict into an ideological one between two religious. "We can't afford it," he said. "We must move quickly in spite of everything."
There was a testy exchange when Abdul Hadi was repeatedly asked by Morton Klein, president of the Zionist Organization of America, to condemn the Palestinian killings of innocent Jewish victims and the clauses in the PLO covenant calling for Israel's destruction.
Abdul Hadi ultimately challenged Klein to write a condemnation in his own words and said he would sign it. But Hadi left before the program ended and Klein could not give him the document.
The incident left Klein shaken. "The refusal of Abdul Hadi to condemn the murder of Jewish Israelis sent a very powerful and frightening message about his insincerity in wanting to live in peace with the Israeli people," he said. "What could be more simple" than a condemnation?
Hanan Ashrawi, former spokeswoman for the Palestinian negotiating team, spoke quietly but passionately to the delegates about what she called the "extremely painful and dangerous" situation.
Ashrawi, who resigned her post to work for human rights in the territories, said the attack "confirmed the worst fears of the Palestinians" about the threat posed to their safety by the Jewish extremists.
She also said the settlements and the peace process were irreconcilable. She said there is a climate among some of the settlements which nurtures extremists such as Baruch Goldstein, the killer in Hebron.
"These people do not emerge from a vacuum," she said. "It was not an isolated act by one deranged person.
"You have placed in unhealthy proximity hostile people" who are fully armed, she said, referring to the settlers in Palestinian centers in the territories. "You can't create an unhealthy situation and then say it's an isolated act."
After the meeting, Harriet Green, the immediate past president of Na'amat, predicted "it will be at least two or three generations before all the venom and hatred that exists will be dissipated and Jews and Arabs can live alongside one another in peace and cooperation.
"Being a Jew," Green continued, "I understand (the Palestinians') pain, but at the same time they can't be so narrow-minded that they can't see another point of view. And I think they don't understand where the Israeli government or Jews are coming from."
A day later, the delegates traveled, with military escorts, past Jericho to the Jordan Valley. There they heard David Levy, head of the Jordan Valley Regional Council, tell of the pain, fear and uncertainty of the region's Jewish inhabitants.
He said the region's settlers, most of them farmers of dates, flowers and vegetables, were unwittingly drawn into politics once "somebody decided the agreement with the Palestinians has to start here, in the Jordan Valley."
Under the declaration of principles signed between Israel and the PLO last September, the withdrawal of Israeli troops and the beginning of Palestinian autonomy will take place first in Jericho and the Gaza Strip.
Under the accord, the withdrawal was supposed to conclude April 13, but an agreement on implementing withdrawal and autonomy has yet to be reached.
Prior to the massacre in Hebron, Israelis and Palestinians were expecting a signed agreement within a month, but peace talks are now broken off indefinitely.
Levy spoke of the assurances by all Israeli governments that the Jordan Valley would always remain a security zone, only to find the assurances "crushed" in the wake of recent developments.
Levy said he was alarmed by plans for a Palestinian police force in nearby Jericho which could reportedly include as many as 5,000 officers.
"We know, because of the background of the (PLO) organization, that we'll be the target," he said.
At the same time, the settlers will have no way under the autonomy agreement to get to Jerusalem except across the Palestinian-controlled area. "Crossing Jericho is a source of life," said Levy, "and no one can give us any answers."
While Rabin has pledged the settlements are non-negotiable and secure for now, the signed declaration of principles calls for their future to be decided after five years. By then, said Levy, the settlers will be "crushed inside" by the uncertainty of their fate.
"If you don't have hope there will be something to live for, why build anything, why plant a tree?" he asked.
"The majority of the people here won't be an obstacle to peace," added another settler. "We may not like it, but whatever it is, even if it is at personal cost, we won't fight it actively."
He said they would fight, however, against being used and sacrificed as a "bargaining chip."
The Conference of Presidents was also addressed by Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin, Foreign Minister Shimon Peres, Likud Chairman Benjamin Netanyahu and scores of other officials and analysts during the mission, which was scheduled to conclude on Wednesday.

Clutch Master Cylinder Replacement
The clutch master cylinder generates the hydraulic pressure necessary to operate the clutch assembly. The clutch assembly has two key functions: to transmit power produced by the engine to the gearbox and to disrupt that power flow when the clutch pedal is depressed.
The clutch pedal is directly attached to the clutch master cylinder. When the clutch pedal is pressed, pressure generated by the clutch master cylinder applies pressure to the clutch slave cylinder. The clutch is then disengaged.
In order for the engine to operate efficiently, a range of gears is absolutely crucial. Power produced by the engine requires the clutch assembly-enabled interruption, which enables the vehicle to change gears and obtain neutral at a traffic light or stop sign.
If the clutch master cylinder or clutch slave cylinder fails, pressure will not be generated when the clutch pedal is pressed. When the driver tries to change gears, the pedal may stay on the floor, making it impossible to put the vehicle into gear.
To replace the clutch master cylinder, disconnect the clutch pedal from the clutch master cylinder. After accessing the clutch master cylinder—which can be very difficult—the hydraulic lines that carry the fluid to the clutch slave cylinder and the clutch master cylinder should be removed. Then, similar to the clutch fluid replacement procedure, the clutch fluid is bled. A new clutch master cylinder and hydraulic lines are installed and fresh fluid is added to the clutch fluid reservoir. Then, the clutch pedal is pressed and the pressure generated by the clutch master cylinder forces fresh fluid out to the clutch slave cylinder (which removes air from the system).

Ontario Provincial Police are investigating after a snowboarder was found dead at Blue Mountain Resort in Collingwood, Ont.
Taylor Ogram, a 20-year-old from Caledon, was found with life-threatening injuries in a wooded area beside the ski hill near the South Base lodge around 1:30 a.m. Wednesday, according to the OPP. Mr. Ogram, who was wearing a helmet, was taken to hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
"The situation and the circumstances which led to him being there are something that we're trying to determine, so our investigation is continuing with respect to that," said OPP Sergeant Peter Leon.
On Tuesday evening, Mr. Ogram, who was staying at one of the resort's hotels with friends, had dinner with his group and then went back on the hill for some evening snowboarding, Sgt. Leon said. However, his friends grew worried when he didn't show up for their planned 10 p.m. meet-up at one of the resort's bars.
The group enlisted hotel and security staff to help search for Mr. Ogram and the OPP was called in to help. Two workers found him shortly after police arrived.
"It's hard to determine when the incident may have taken place and that's something that we'll have to try to find out as well as part of our investigation," Sgt. Leon said, adding that investigators planned to review the resort's security footage. "It is entirely possible that the incident took place well in advance of the ski hill closing at 10 o'clock."
The Caledon Enterprise newspaper, which said Mr. Ogram was the son of a circulation manager, said he was studying engineering at Western University.
Blue Mountain opened as usual on Wednesday, but the OPP closed the Sunrise run as part of the investigation.
"It is an ongoing OPP investigation. We'd like to refrain from comment just out of respect for the process and the family," said Ashley Boland, a resort spokeswoman.Report Typo/Error

Historic preservation is easier than you think
Historic preservation advocacy ain't all glamor, kids. Just ask Dawn McCarthy, president of Milwaukee Preservation Alliance (MPA) and recent winner of the Milwaukee Historic Preservation Commission's Cream of Cream City award.
"It was really gratifying to be recognized for the work we're doing," she said of the award, which she won on May 15. Acknowledging that MPA is often "a little bit under the radar," McCarthy told OnMilwaukee.com that "the advocacy work that we're doing means going to endless meetings, testifying before government boards, supplying factual information, writing comments...that's not sexy stuff, necessarily!"
So it makes the award – and MPA's recent success stories – all the more meaningful.
"I'm really grateful that we're being recognized for doing that work, because it's really keep-your-nose-to-the-grindstone kind of work," she said. "(We) just keep plugging along and try to find solutions for all interested parties."
In April it was announced that the historic Soldiers Home at the VA Hospital, which McCarthy and MPA waged a campaign in defense of, would be named a National Historic Landmark. The outlook on another MPA project, the historic Eschweiler buildings in Wauwatosa, also seems promising; the buildings are now being considered by the Forest Exploration Center for reuse as a charter school.
"Things are still going through the municipal process in Wauwatosa for the Eschweiler buildings, but there seems to be a really good opportunity for saving the buildings," she said. She called it "a happy coincidence" that the Forest Exploration Center was looking for a school at the same time as the Mandel Group was applying to develop the buildings into residential units. "That (school) restoration is much less costly and much more feasible, so we're really hoping that that solution will ultimately go through all the approval processes in Wauwatosa and work to save those buildings."
Because what many people don't realize, McCarthy said, is that historic preservation isn't just about saving a piece of the past for the sake of sentiment.
It is also an economically and environmentally significant choice.
"Preservationists are sometimes accused of wanting to put buildings under glass, to be treated like museum pieces," she said. "Our belief is that buildings must be occupied to be saved and to endure...(but) always we work to educate about the economic benefits of historic preservation, knowing that the emotional argument doesn't cut it in the political arena."
McCarthy points to research showing that the benefits of historic preservation include the creation of local jobs as well as the increase in tourism. "People who travel to historic districts tend to stay longer and spend more money," she said. She also works to raise public awareness of the fact that preservation has shown to create more revenue than new construction does.
And preservation is also the original form of recycling. "The greenest building is the building that already exists. When you consider the landfill of razing a historic building and all the construction materials (involved in) restoring a building – and frankly older buildings are more airtight than most people think."
McCarthy herself has lived in a historic home in the Water Tower neighborhood since 2001. Any alterations made the exterior of her house must be approved by the city, the experience gives her perspective on the process and insight into the responsibilities – and benefits – of historic property ownership.
"Really, I didn't know very much about historic designations before that, but I was excited about moving into a historic house," she recalled. "I didn't understand – like most property owners – all the implications. So I think one of the reasons I've stayed involved is because I've personally experienced that learning curve and the more I got involved the more I understood the economic benefits that accrue to historic preservation."
She points out that Wisconsin homeowners are entitled to a 25 percent state income tax credit to fund the rehabilitation of a historic personal residence if the residence meets the requirements of and receives approval from the State Historic Preservation Office. Similar incentives exist for commercial properties as well.
Part of MPA's mission, in fact, is to encourage responsible and conscientious ownership of historically significant properties and buildings. Many instances of demolition are caused by neglect, McCarthy said.
"(Often) it's the property owner's own neglect that created the economic issue," she said. "I think often people have trouble seeing that process…when we're saying 'Yeah, tear that building down for a parking lot,' that we're kind of rewarding a property owner that maybe hasn't done what he should be doing for the community – where the property was historic or not….by the time (the building is dilapidated) it is hard for the city and the community to see that there is historic value in the building."
The Milwaukee Preservation Alliance is celebrating its 10th anniversary this year, and McCarthy hopes that, buoyed by their recent successes, in the future the organization can continue to focus on proactively obtaining local historic landmark designation.
"It's the local designation that really protects historic buildings from threats of destruction. You would think that being designated as a nationally historic building would be protection, but it's really when the city itself says this is an important historic building or an important historic district," she said. "That's when anyone who then pulls a building permit on that property needs to go the one extra step to go to the historic preservation commission and make sure that they're not doing damage to the character of the district. Generally, that's a pretty easy process, but I think again people don't understand that it's easy to do."
"It's easy to do" pretty well sums up McCarthy's whole mission – and that of the Milwaukee Preservation Alliance: preserving the past is not as hard as you would think.
"It's not just for our own community. It's for the future community as well. I think a lot of us feel strongly that these historic buildings have been very meaningful to our lives and meaning for us in Milwaukee and there's responsibility to the future generations to do what we can," she said. "And frankly, since we can find a current economic benefit to do that work, it just makes sense."

Have Ford Questions? Ask a Mechanic for Answers ASAP
Hello, I am John, a Ford dealer technician.
I hope I can help solve your problem quickly and accruately.
This is one of the easiest ford fuel pumps to replace. The only special tool you will need is a fuel line quick disconnect tool. You can pick these up at a local parts store. To remove the pump you need to jack up the car and place jackstands on the frame, not the rear end. You need to do this due to clearance issues. Now use the disconnect tool and take the line loose. Next Disconnect the electrical connector. Take the red pin retainer out of the connector on the fuel pump side. Now there are three wires that go to a sensor on top of the tank. Use a small pick to push the lock and pull out the pins. Make sure to note which wire goes where so you can put them back. Now take out the 8mm bolts that hold on the pump and take it out. Its that easy!
I hope this answer has been helpful to you! If you have any further questions please feel free to ask.

GOP presidential hopeful Ron Paul is set to appear tonight on Jon Stewart's show, in the first guest stint on the Comedy Channel program for the Texas congressman since he announced his 2012 White House bid.
Stewart, host of The Daily Show, criticized the news media for ignoring Paul's strong, second- place showing in the Iowa presidential straw poll in August. Back then, the focus was on straw poll winner Michele Bachmann and Texas Gov. Rick Perry's entrance into the race.
"How did libertarian Ron Paul become the 13th floor in a hotel," Stewart asked.
Paul is polling behind Perry and Mitt Romney in most national polls on the GOP presidential race, getting an average of 7.7% according to the surveys compiled on the RealClearPoltics website. Perry and Romney, by comparison, are polling in the low- to mid-20% range.
But Paul has passionate followers, regularly taps the Internet for donors, and has aired a couple of memorable TV ads criticizing Perry and Romney.
In an interview with Rolling Stone, Stewart notes the hypocrisy of politicians not named Ron Paul. (The candidate has been promoting the Rolling Stone mention on his website, but it's not available on the web unless you have access to the magazine.)
"He's been consistent over the years," Stewart says. "...You may disagree with him, but at least you can respect that the guy has a belief system he's engaged in and will defend."
Paul appeared on Stewart's show in 2007 and 2009.

It's lovebug season again, and drivers all over Florida are feeling the effects of the codependent winged insects. At car washes, on roads and at rest stops, people feel the effects of the infestation.
They hover in the air like black snowflakes. If you sit in your car at the side of the road, you can't help but see them. On the highway they explode in white splotches on windshields like little missiles.
It's lovebug season again, and drivers all over Florida are feeling the effects of the codependent winged insects. At car washes, on roads and at rest stops, people feel the effects of the infestation.
"The eruptions are quite heavy," said Mark Hostetler, wildlife ecology and conservation professor at the University of Florida. "Conditions here are perfect for them."
Hostetler said lovebugs can lay hundreds of thousands of eggs, and they don't taste good to birds or other would-be predators, so they thrive.
He said there are two lovebug generations a year: April through May and August through September. When the bugs aren't mating, they are in the ground as larvae.
Hostetler said there's a theory as to why the bugs hover around cars so much.
"There's an idea that lovebugs are attracted to irradiated exhaust fumes," he said. "The exhaust releases compounds that are similar to compounds in decaying organic matter. The idea is that the bugs are confused."
Regardless of the confusion, leaving the bugs to cook on hot cars is not a good idea because the bacteria that breaks them down can damage paint jobs.
Some drivers, like Robert Porter, 75, who owns a summer home in Vero Beach, are fighting back. He was pulled off I-75 near Micanopy pouring a cup of water over his windshield and signaling his wife to run the wipers to get the bugs off. He had bought a large bra-like device that wraps around the front of his car, and it was full of dead lovebugs.
"I'm just trying to keep them out the radiator," he said. "This is the second time I've stopped in four hours."
Michael Daube, a retired University of Florida staffer living in Orange Lake, was stopped Thursday afternoon at the BP station at U.S. 441 and Marion County Road 318. He was cleaning bugs from his windshield with a sponge and squeegee.
"I just went to Gainesville and back again, and when you hit the prairie, it's really heavy with lovebugs," Daube said. "They're just everywhere on 441."
While drivers fret, the car washes cash in.
On Friday, between 400 and 500 vehicles were expected to get cleaned at Cactus Car Wash on South Pine Avenue in Ocala. About a third are there because of the smears and smudges left by colliding lovebugs.
Car wash manager Jim Blessing, 35, said the car wash services about 300 vehicles daily.
Although lovebug population explosions mean more business for car washes, they can slow down businesses that own multiple vehicles.
SunTran owns nine buses, which are washed daily as they are sent through an automatic washer designed for large vehicles.
But during lovebug season, operations manager Debbie Miller said, cleaning the buses becomes a little more problematic. The smudges from lovebug impacts were so severe the company temporarily ran out of washing fluid to remove the dirt from its buses.
And while the automatic bus washer removes dirt from the vehicles, Miller said the lovebug remains are tough to erase, so workers have to scrub the buses by hand.
"We have a fueler/detailer that's using some muscle … because of the lovebugs," she said.
Rand Hollon, owner of Brick City Pest Control in Ocala, said that despite the lovebug smudges, businesses such as his still have to keep their vehicles clean.
"Customers like seeing a clean, well-kept service at their home," he said. "It's paramount."
The company has six vehicles. Each employee is responsible for his or her own truck.
"Between 5-7 percent of new customers call us because they've just seen our clean trucks," he said.
Though lovebugs are persistent, there are preventative measures you can take to protect your vehicle.
According to UF entomology professor Norm Leppla, the bugs can be avoided by driving at night, as peak fly times are mid-morning and mid-afternoon. If drive times can't be altered, he said his wife uses pre-emptive measures. She coats the front of her car with a wet dryer sheet, and even though it leaves a residue, the bugs come off easy.
"The main goal," Leppla said, "is to remove the lovebugs as soon as possible to avoid decomposition and damage to painted surfaces."

The Removal Hearing is a formal procedure that enables a non-US Citizen to be expulsed from the United States. US Immigration law states that for the alien to be subject to removal he or she must be within one or more of the statutory classes of deportable aliens.INA § 237 (a); 8 USCA § 1227(a). Once an alien is judged to be deportable, she or he will be removed from the United States unless relief was available.
An alien who has been removed from the United States faces the inability to return to the United State for a long period of time including the 5 or 10 year bar or even indefinitely. This bar can result in great hardship, especially if the alien has a family with small or sick children in America.
There are two main types of removal hearings. The first hearing, often labeled a deportation hearing, is for those aliens already within the United States. The second hearing, referred to as an inadmissibility hearing is a hearing for aliens who had wished to enter and are stopped at the border. The test to determine if a person had entered the United States has three components. First it is necessary to determine if the alien was physically inside of a territory of the US. Second, if the alien was physically present, then it was necessary to prove that the alien had inspected at a port of entry and granted admission. Thirdly, it was necessary that the alien be free from restraint. If the non-US Citizen a person met these three requirements, she or he would be subject to a deportation hearing. As a fallback, all other aliens would be exposed to a hearing to determine admissibility.
In 1996, Congress passed the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996 (IIRIRA) to restrict the rights of illegal aliens.110 Stat. 3009 (1996) § 308 (f). The IIRIRA simplified the test for determining if an alien entered the United States. IIRIRA changed the INA definition of admission to " the lawful entry of the alien into the United States after inspection and authorization by an immigration officer." INA§ 101 (a) (13) (A); 8 USCA § 1101 (a) (13) (A) (1994)All aliens who had entered without inspection after IIRIRA would be classified as being inadmissible.

First off, perhaps I'm dense, but I couldn't find the m0n0 kernel conf
anywhere. The hacker's guide has a broken link to it. A quick google
found a copy elsewhere. At the least, the guide should get updated,
unless it's intentionally working as a screening device.
so I made the modifications to the config as per znyx's instructions and
have built a new kernel with the binary drivers replacing the dec tulip
(de & dc) drivers. I dropped those onto the rootfs (along with new ipfw
and dummyney modules) and m0n0wall on the nokia ip650 seems to not lose
carrier on it's interfaces.
The only introduced problem I've so far noticed is that the ps binary on
te rootfs complains. My 4.8 host system hasn't been updated in a long
while, but it's no major deal at the moment.
i'll put up the kernel, modules, rootfs, and images hopefully this weekend,
for anyone else who wants to try it out. With luck I'll get the serial
console going by then too, which will make things more useful.
I'm not sure what to do about the rainlink software that comes with the
znyx drivers. It's what controls and sets up the trunking and failover
features on these cards. As much as I'd like to see the functionality
available to m0n0wall, I lean towards dropping it.
So once more for the archive and search engines. if you are having
problems of your de or dc network interfaces showing a status of "No Carrier"
under bsd, you may have a znyx card that really works better with the vendor's
binary drivers. Hopefully 5.x fixes this :)

Wednesday, April 14, 1999 Published at 15:42 GMT 16:42 UK
Business: The Economy
Mobiles getting cheaper
Phone use is on the increase...
After years spent paying too much for much too little, things are finally looking up for mobile phone users in the UK.
Between 1990 and 1998 not only did the size, range and quality of mobiles improve beyond recognition - but prices fell by more than two thirds.
Innovative new marketing initiatives, notably the pre-pay packages launched last year, have made mobiles a mass market consumer product.
In the first three months of this year two million people hooked up to a product which just ten years ago was sneered upon as a symbol of ostentatious yuppiedom.
Director General of Telecommunications, David Edmunds, the industry's regulator, is currently carrying out a range of reviews.
He has noted that price cuts have been sparked historically by new competition, initially when Orange and One-2-One entered a market dominated by Cellnet and Vodafone.
It also followed when number portability, which means users can keep the same number if they switch from one network to another, was introduced last year.
New competition is planned
He is looking at issues which include the price of phone calls to mobiles from a fixed line and also the potential for opening out the existing mobile networks to other operators.
The deadline for submissions to the latter suggestion is this Friday, 19 April. The aim is to bring new competition to an industry which is limited by the availability of mobile phone frequencies.
It would work in a similar way to, say, competition in the electricity network or the fixed line telephone network, with network owners renting out their infrastructure to new entrants.
Meanwhile this autumn there will be an auction in the UK for a third generation of mobile licences.
The Universal Mobile Telecommunications Services (UMTS) licences will provide a further leap forward in the services consumers will be able to get from their mobiles which will then become much more than mere phones.
Internet and data traffic
Bids for the UMTS licences are likely to raise billions of pounds for the Treasury coffers. They hold out vast potential for operators of networks which will allow holders to offer Internet and other data traffic facilities.
While this next generation of mobile communications is still two or three years off in the UK, rapid strides are being made in using the current generation of mobile phones to connect to the Internet and to send and receive e-mail.
Later this year Orange expects to be the first operator in the UK to offer mobile video phones, broadcasting 12 frames a second. They are expected to retail at around Ł500.
While 12m people now have mobile phones in the UK, trusty old British Telecommunications has also enjoyed a boom time in the past decade and says it is poised to win new customers both on the fixed line and mobile side.
It is expected to unveil details soon of a breakthrough which allows phone users to have one number for their home phone and mobile, with calls switched automatically to the mobile the moment the owner leaves the front door.
Fixed lines increasing
This is seen as having vast potential, proving particularly popular for those who run their own business, who can give contacts one phone number.
But while mobile use has soared BT, which has faced competition from cable companies, has also seen rapid increases in its fixed line traffic and connections during the 1990s.
In what was already a mature industry, there has been a growth from 24.6m BT phone lines in 1994 to 27.7m in 1998, not including the separate growth in cable connections.
Good news for consumers
During that same period, with the rapid increase in the popularity of the Internet there has been a soaring increase in the amount of data being transmitted - so much so that it now accounts for more of the traffic than traditional voice calls.
A BT spokesman said: "There will always be occasions when you will want to ring a place, or location, rather than a person. The fixed link capability will always be greater."
The good news for the consumer is that with greater competition on its way in the mobile market, and greater competition between fixed line service and mobiles, the price of keeping in touch over the phone is likely to keep going down.
