What headers work best with....
Hey guys what headers are a good option I got a set of after market cylinder heads that have I believe 45 degree angle spark plugs would any kind of headers work? or do I need specific ones that will work for that certain application.
What heads did you get? The only common heads that require specific headers are Ford GT40P heads and aftermarket high-port heads.

I'm not sure this will help you but, I like to keep it simple with my contacts.
I store them on the phone only (choosing the backup assistant option). Since I never activated backup assistant my contacts are only store on the phone. I don't sync to Google or Verizon. Whenever I make changes to my contacts I back them up to the sd card.
I never have any problems with contacts.

But you should be able to enter on the computer rather than the phone.
3. Re: Verizon & Google Contactsbearone21 Jul 21, 2011 9:43 PM (in response to geochapman)verizon/backup assistant & gmail won't duplicate contacts.
i use ba as primary backup but everything i put into gmail/contacts also gets to the phone.

I just discovered I had "display only names with phone numbers". This sort of prevents seeing all the names. It doesn't help with the mixup on my son's contact but re entering the whole thing did.

All roads and pavements have endings and boundaries. With the continuous increasing traffic and heavy loads, the need for solid and durable kerbs is increasing too.In situ concrete constructed kerbs are in favour when heavy traffic is involved. They can be moulded in different shapes and executed by a slipformpaver.
Advantages of in situ moulded kerbs and gutters:
monolith, strong construction;
maintenance free;
better labour conditions during execution;
high production.
Concrete line constructions are in most cases non-reinforced.
Labour conditions play an important role on construction sites. Heavy manual work must be prevented. The use of a slipformpaver for kerbs and gutters contributes to better labour conditions and improves production speed.

Have Ford Questions? Ask a Mechanic for Answers ASAP
Do you own a volt meter?
Has any testing been performed?
How long must the vehicle sit before the batteries go dead?
Hello I'm Chris a Ford Employee and Certified Engine/Transmission Specialist.
Thanks for asking your question. I am eager to get your vehicle back up and running correct. Be aware it is difficult to fix concerns associated with noises and smells over the net, but I will do my best. Diagrams are often copied from other websites. I am here to help you out for a small fee far less than a dealership and easier on the wallet, so if this information is of aid PLEASE PRESS ACCEPT and help me out financially by paying the small fee (which you selected). Please reply if further discussion is needed.
Ok you have verified you have a parasitic draw which is discharging the batteries. You will need to follow this test which will require the use of the volt meter and removeing fuses to see which circuit is drawing power.
I will make it bigger.

Screening: 'Aurélie Laflamme's Diary' - Lewis B. and Dorothy Cullman Education and Research Building at MoMa
Hours: 12-2pm
Ages: TW,TE,AD
Price: Tickets are distributed on the day of the program only, on a first-come, first-served basis
4 W. 54th St. - 212-708-9400
Midtown West, NY 10019
Description: Since her father's death, Aurélie Laflamme has felt alone in the world. She's consumed with questions that she can't find answers to: What if her father was an alien and simply left Earth to return to his own planet? Wouldn't that make Aurélie an alien too? After all, that would explain many weird things about her, like why she feels different from everyone else, why she's doomed with a relentless clumsiness with words, or even why boys tend to get on her nerves all the time. Through the pages of her diary, Aurélie confides her innermost feelings of alienation and tries to find her place in the world. (2010; Canada; in French, with English subtitles) This program is for individual families of up to two adults and up to three kids. Tickets will be distributed at the reception desk from 10-10:30am and 11:30am-12pm. Tickets are also distributed at the information desk in MoMA's main lobby.

Shopping for your wedding dress is one of the most exciting events in your life. Whether you're with your mother and your bridesmaids, or clicking around online- it can be so much fun! But if you're having trouble selecting or don't want to deal with pushy salespeople- it can quickly turn into a stress-fest. That's why we're so thrilled to share this incredible program by designer Kirstie Kelly.
Kirstie launched an innovative dress lending service last year, aptly named "Borrow Me." Borrow Me allows brides all across the country to try on Kirstie Kelly dresses in the comfort of their own home! The concept is pretty straightforward- select the dress(es) you're interested in, and send Kirstie's team your measurements. They'll send the gowns in your size right to your doorway for $35/dress, which covers the shipping. Once you receive the dress, you've got 48 hours before it needs to be sent back. You can try them on in the privacy of your own home, avoiding distractions or conflicting opinions. OR, we say invite your girls over and make a party out of it! Either way, you get more time to make your decision hopefully will end the weekend with your dream dress!
We are such big fans of this concept- and it doesn't hurt that Kirstie's gowns are stunning. We've shared our favorites from the 2013 collection- one of which you may recognize from our recent cover shoot. We're curious- are you as in love with this "Borrow Me" concept as we are, or do you prefer the traditional shopping process?

Pine Trail arrives ahead of schedule
The Intel Pine Trail platform is the latest upgrade to the Atom line of processors for netbook and nettop computers. This is a major architectural shift from a technical perspective as the CPU now integrates the memory controller and graphics core on the CPU die directly.
48-cores ahoy!
Intel announced a new processor design codenamed Bangalore that combines 48 x86 IA cores onto a single massive chip. The CPU will aimed at the future of cloud computing and could enable entirely new server and software designs. This is the progression of the original 80-core design we saw in 2006 - but we are getting much closer to reality here now.
Not Reinventing the Wheel
While Bulldozer and 32 nm processors from AMD will not show up for some time yet, AMD is taking off the wraps of a new revision of the 45 nm Deneb core. The X4 965 was a 140 watt TDP critter, and now it has been tamed to a slightly more manageable 125 watts. Let's see how this affects performance and overclocking!
Clarkdale makes its debut
Intel took some time to preview its upcoming Westmere processors, Clarkdale and Arrandale, during this past week at the Intel Developer Forum. The new CPUs will combine a dual-core Nehalem-based design with on-chip integrated graphics to create a high-performance, low power and low cost CPU for the mainstream PC user. Stop in to see if you will be picking one of these up this winter.
Propus to the Rescue
The latest quad cores are relatively tiny as compared to their older brothers and the competition from Intel. While these are not barn burners when it comes to performance, AMD is hoping that the combination of available performance and budget pricing will prove to be irresistible to users and OEMs alike.
Lynnfield Reaches Retail
Intel's Lynnfield processors have been getting a lot of attention recently but one SKU left out of the parade has been the Core i7-860. Coming in just a bit higher than the Core i5-750, the i7-860 adds support for HyperThreading technology and thus should see noticeable improvements in certain applications. We take the new CPU for a spin in our benchmark suite and judge it on performance-per-watt and performance-per-dollar.
2nd Generation Ultra-Portable
The Tigris and "Codename formerly known as Congo" are two new notebook platforms that aim for the mainstream and ultra-portable marketplaces. While we have seen these products before, the combination of tuning and manufacturing changes allows them to fit into the mobile market. The extra boost could give AMD a nice set of weapons to further improve their marketshare in the mobile space.
Lynnfield Architecture
Today Intel is officially releasing the Lynnfield processor that many of us have been waiting for since the release of Nehalem last year. This time around we find better frequency scaling, lower prices and performance that will simply blow you away for the money and power it will cost you to run it. Intel's dominance simply can't be debated anymore.
200 MHz Here, 200 MHz There, Pretty Soon We are Talking Real Performance!
AMD has released another high end processor into the fray, and Intel had better watch out. Sorta. While aimed at the Q9550 and Q9650 parts, the X4 965 is priced at a competitive $245, thereby pushing all of the previous Phenom IIs before it into much more affordable territories. Not all is perfect with this chip, but does its imperfections cause it to fall when facing the competition? Read on...
Lower Price, Better Margins (hopefully)
Recently the first die shot of the upcoming Propus class of processors showed up, and I took a good long look at it to figure out how it will affect AMD's lineup, and if it will be the next big thing in the budget quad core market. From what I have seen, things look surprisingly good...
The Fast and the Faster
Intel has refreshed the Nehalem line of Core i7 CPUs today by introducing the new Core i7-975 EE and Core i7-950 processor. These two new offerings are replacing the Core i7-965 and i7-940 in terms of pricing though they of course bump up the frequency one bin or so. Come in and see how the fastest desktop processor in the world performs!
65 nm? Pah! Time for something different!
It has been several years since AMD released a true desktop dual core processor, and finally they have delivered with the Athlon II X2 250. They have also released a Phenom II based X2 that could be the new darling of budget enthusiasts everywhere. We explore the performance of these new parts, as well as try our hand at overclocking to see where we go. While they might not be world beater's, they certainly give AMD a fighting chance in the dual core market.
Guess we have to bring this up finally
Today a $1.45 billion fine was handed down to Intel for antitrust and anti-competitive practices in the European markets. We take a look at the summary judgment, both Intel's and AMD's initial response and just how the decision might after the consumer.
AM3 Done Right
AMD has finally released their high end AM3 processor, and it certainly does not disappoint. While AM3 does not propel the X4 955 to new heights, there are certainly enough extra features and overclocking headroom to make this a exciting and desirable product.
"I'll be gone til November..."
Last year the industry was expecting Intel to roll out the Nehalem architecture based i5 processors for the mainstream market by the beginning of Summer, 2009. The Computex was thought to be one giant showing of motherboards supporting the upcoming LGA-1156 products, but changes in competition and the rough economic times look to have made Intel shelve its plans to release a new midrange monster.
Intel Talks 32nm Westmere
Intel had a press and analyst meeting today to go over its newest roadmap and the changes it has seen courtesy of the economy and a ramping up of 32nm process technology. We got to see some more specifics on the first CPU with integrated graphics, a six-core Nehalem processor for 2010 and plans for mobility and mainstream markets in 2009.
A surprise CPU review
Intel is finally bringing the low-cost PC world a dual-core version of the wildly popular Atom processor with the Atom 330. The CPU runs at 1.6 GHz and sports a pair of cores that both support HyperThreading for a total of four threads of computing. Will the Atom 330 revolutionize the performance levels of netbooks?
Fleshing Out the Family
AMD is unveiling their AM3 platform today with the launch of the Phenom II X4 810 and the Phenom II X3 720. These sub $200 processors are paving the way for DDR-3 support with AMD processors. While their support for DDR-3 is nice, they still are compatible with AM2+ sockets and DDR-2 support. These two processors help to flesh out AMD's offerings for the budget marketplace, and should allow AMD to transition that much faster to all 45 nm parts.
AMD is unleashing its first 45 nm processor, and while it is a large step in the right direction, AMD still has a tough mountain to climb to compete with Intel and their Core 2 Quad and i7 processors. While the Phenom II is not a world beater, it certainly puts AMD in a much more competitive position.
An Athlon 64 X2 By Any Other Name...
This week AMD released the long awaited Kuma, and while performance is surprisingly competitive with what Intel has in the market, the real story is how this strange little processor came to market.

Samsung becomes headline sponsor of 'the swim'
Aug 24, 2011
Samsung supports Cancer Research UK's aim to raise £1million for life saving work
Samsung today announces it has become headline sponsor of Cancer Research UK's initiative in which a team of brave swimmers will take on the Irish Sea to raise £1million for Cancer Research UK. 'The Samsung Galaxy S II Swim' involves a team of relay swimmers, including Sir Richard Branson and Ronan Keating, swimming the 56miles across the Irish Sea starting at Holyhead in Wales, ending in Dublin, Ireland.
As part of its sponsorship, Samsung has pledged to donate £3500 for every mile the team completes. The team, which aims to set off on Wednesday 31 September from Holyhead, will be recording their experiences on their Galaxy S II Smartphone and the Galaxy 10.1 tablet.
Simon Stanford, Managing Director, Mobile, Samsung UK and Ireland said: "Our range of Galaxy devices are designed for people that live life to the full so it's fitting we sponsor such an exciting and adventurous challenge that we know will appeal to all Samsung customers. It's an ambitious target for an ambitious challenge and we encourage all customers to get behind the team and donate whatever they can to help reach the £1million target for such a worthwhile cause."
Frances Milner, Supporter Led Fundraising Director, Cancer Research UK, said: "We are delighted to have Samsung on board as our headline sponsor. This is a tough challenge – the Irish Sea is almost three times the length of the English Channel – but we have a great team who are all motivated by our aim to raise £1million. Every two minutes someone in the UK is diagnosed with cancer and so events like this are vital for raising money for our lifesaving work."

Note: This post discusses Sunday's episode of True Blood in detail, so don't read if you're behind! If you'd like to talk about another series with Pop Candy readers, consider starting a thread in the forum.
Last night the craziness continued on True Blood -- and thank goodness, because I wouldn't have it any other way.
Now we know Tara is definitely back on the scene, thanks to Pam. It's nice to see the character doing something interesting on this series for a change; in the past, we've squirmed as she has fallen into Maryann's trap, grieved over Eggs, had a vampire love affair, dated a lady and gotten mixed up with Marnie. It's as if the writers never knew what to do with her, and, as a result, her storylines have generally been the series' least interesting.
But now Tara is all bite, and she swears she'll never forgive Sookie and Lafayette for what they've done.
As for Pam (love her!), this ep transported us to 1905, when she ran a brothel and first met Eric. We can expect to see more of the story next week; so far, it's reminding me of those juicy Spike/Angel/Drusilla flashbacks we used to see on Buffy.
Scenes with Bill and Eric are still a little shaky, but the gist is this: The duo has been nabbed by the Vampire Authority, which is angry about Nan's murder. Led by Roman (Christopher Meloni), they want to punish B&E -- although the duo might escape "the true death" if they can produce Russell Edgington. (Also, last night we learned that vampires have their own bible. Who knew?)
Meanwhile, Terry is having flashbacks and saying "We're all gonna die," which is never a good sign. As for Russell's whereabouts, in the final scene we see him awaken from his cement sleep, looking a little like Voldemort.
What's your reaction to the episode? How do you feel about Tara's new identity? Are you looking forward to Russell's return? Share your thoughts in the comments ...

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Did Yogi Bear and Boo-Boo get separated? While the children in one town were watching the capture of a black bear outside their school, residents in a town 20 miles north were witnessing the apprehension of another.
No, the bears do not appear to know each other. But together, they provided hours of entertainment Wednesday in Tualatin, a Portland suburb, and in Vancouver, Wash., just across the Columbia River from Portland.
At about 5:45 a.m., a 200-pound black bear was spotted in a field near Tualatin Elementary School, prompting the cancellation of classes. Students who arrived before classes were canceled stayed indoors and studied what officials called a "bear curriculum," discussing how fast bears can run and what it takes to tranquilize them.
Bryan Peterson watched the bear walk through his backyard.
"Then he walked through the neighborhood and scoped it out," Peterson told The Oregonian.
For several hours, the male bear eluded capture, but was finally struck with a tranquilizer dart and fell asleep in a tree.
When he failed to fall into a waiting net, a firefighter climbed to the animal and fashioned a harness that allowed crews to lower him 60 feet to the ground. The bear will be released in the coastal mountains, the Oregonian reported.
At about the same time, officials in Vancouver were dealing with a 125-pound black bear up a tree near a high school and Clark College.
That bruin was first seen in Vancouver on Sunday, when it dined on the contents of a bird feeder in a backyard. He eventually wandered into a forested ravine.
"He's been moving through town since Sunday," Capt. Murray Schlenker, of the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife, told The Columbian newspaper. "He's been all over this end of the county."
The bear was spotted again Wednesday morning, halfway up a 100-foot fir tree in a busy neighborhood. After the bear was struck with a tranquilizer dart, it dropped 50 feet into a trampoline-like net, rolled onto the ground, and was then loaded into a silver drum to be released into the wild, The Columbian reported.
Onlookers watched from across the street as the two-hour capture unfolded.
Wildlife officials say bears may be showing up in inhabited areas because the cold, wet weather has made food scarce in higher elevations.

Center For Human Rights and Humanitarian Law
During the two sessions conducted during 1975 (thirty-fifth and thirty-sixth) the Commission also continued to study the communications or claims pending from previous sessions. The Commission examined 289 denunciations within this category, on concrete cases of alleged violations of human rights in the following American countries: Argentina, Brazil, Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, Cuba, the Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Guatemala, Haiti, Honduras, Nicaragua, Paraguay, Peru, the United States, Uruguay and Venezuela.
A short account is given below of the processing and decisions adopted with respect to each case. It should be noted that the alleged facts designated at the beginning of such summaries (arbitrary arrest, torture, murders, and so forth) are those of the claimant and not of the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights, which is not passing judgment on such allegations or requestin any statements on them, since the merits of some of them have not yet been considered and, in other cases, the Commission decided to file them because the alleged violation was not proved or because the national authorities took appropriate steps to terminate the violation or to restore the violated right or rights, or finally because the claims, in accordance with 39.d of the regulations, were declared inadmissible in that the events or situations referred to bore no relation to a disregard of human rights by the governments against which the communication was directed.

Everywhere hailed as a masterpiece of historical adventure, this enthralling narrative recounts the experiences of twelve American sailors who were shipwrecked off the coast of Africa in 1815, captured by desert nomads, sold into slavery, and subjected to a hellish two-month journey through the bone-dry heart of the Sahara. The ordeal of these men - who found themselves tested by barbarism, murder, starvation, death, dehydration, and hostile tribes that roamed the desert on camelback - is made indelibly vivid in this gripping account of courage, brotherhood, and survival.

Bob Sturm: Put Cowboys coach Wade Phillips out of his misery
SportsDayDFW sports
SportsDayDFW phoned The Ticket's Bob Sturm, who was at Lambeau Field, to comment on the Cowboys' loss to the Packers. The following is a transcription of the interview
On the game:
That's got to be a low point, that first half in particular takes us back to the Dave Campo days and maybe earlier — to the most ridiculous Cowboys football I've ever seen. They even topped themselves after the Jacksonville debacle.
I can understand the people involved with the team are running out of explanations, especially with the ridiculous garbage we're seeing right now.
On the lack of pressure on Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers:
That's the old bit. If they decide to get to him with normal pressure and it's not working consistently, then they turn to the blitz. The blitz leaves their defensive backs in man-to-man situations. And if Aaron Rodgers gets hot, he will pick you apart. That's what happened in the first half with relative ease. That just chases the team out of the blitz, then they are hesitant to try it anymore. And then they don't get any pressure on the quarterback.
Just like I talked about in the Friday gameplan, the Packers were absolute going to the quick wide receiver screens. The tests were given time and time again and see if Terence Newman and Mike Jenkins and Orlando Scandrick can tackle. Teams are now using that as a recipe. We've seen several opponents go to that. The Cowboys defensive backs are making what Deion Sanders used to call business decisions, or basically to see if they are interested in tackling. And the results are not great.
On if Cowboys owner Jerry Jones should fire Wade Phillips:
There's no doubt. The only reason to keep Wade at this point is flat out stubbornness. There is absolutely no football application to keep Phillips. I would imagine Wade Phillips, if he spoke honestly, he might ask to be put out of his misery. There is no defense to allow the Giants game followed by the Jaguars game followed by the Packers game. If you don't have substantial change then you're just trying to be stubborn.
I would fire Wade in the morning in fact I might do it tonight. And honestly does that cure everything? Absolutely not. But you can not allow your team and look listless and hopeless and you just can't allow your organization to be represented like this. Given that you cannot fire the players, you have to get a new voice. You have to show that no one is safe.
On whom should replace Phillips:
That's the great question, because it has to be someone from this staff and clearly no one has does such great work that they deserve getting promoted
I would look pretty hard at (special teams coach) Joe DeCamillis. It's obvious he has a raging fire in his belly. If there's one thing this team lacks is a fire.
Did the Cowboys quit tonight?
I guess it's the great question. Are you quitting or just inept. I don't have a great number of specifics, but when I look at the tackling efforts of the defensive backs I sure don't feel like I am getting 110%. Now this team has problems that go well beyond effort. And like I said it's not easy to measure effort given. This team did not seem to belong on the same field as their opponent. We're going about three weeks straight. It doesn't matter if it's a good team or bad team, home or away, they can't compete. Part of me hopes that they are not giving their effort. If they are giving everything right now, we have a bigger problem than we thought.
On the Cowboys offense and not utilizing Tashard Choice much:
I don't feel like Tashard Choice is a great long-term sol, I do think his energy will help that listless effort. I hesitate to call it a giant mistake; I just considered him a potential spark in this game. So I did find it curious that he did not get much consideration. Once again the offense demonstrated they are not capable of basic simple run plays. And if you can't run the ball with any efficiency, and you have a backup quarterback who is missing open receivers at times, including a giant opportunity to Miles Austin, you don't have any chance. And they clearly didn't have any chance tonight.
On Lambeau Field:
Absolutely wild. It's a great atmosphere to see a game. The natives were quite pleased.

The 5K PROM-enade walk/run event, originally scheduled for Saturday, March 24, has been cancelled due to a lack of preregistered runners.
After the Knights baseball team split their opening two games of the season, they have done the same in the next two games. The Knights picked up a win over Bardstown to open the season, but then fell to Danville in the following game. The Knights improved to 2-1 on the year with a 7-2 win over Berea last Saturday. On Monday night, the team hosted border rival Washington County and fell 5-4 to the Commanders. After the loss to the Commanders, the team now has an overall record of 2-2 and will return to action on Tuesday night when they travel to John Hardin.
On Tuesday night, the Marion County High School baseball team opened up their 2012 season with a win over Bardstown. The Knights jumped out to an early 4-0 lead, and held a 5-2 advantage after five innings. The Tigers plated three runs in their half of the sixth inning before the Knights tacked on the winning two runs in the bottom of the sixth to take the 7-5 victory. Eric Farmer picked up the win in relief.

The 2012 baseball season has begun, and the Knights look to take their momentum from the practice field into the regular season.
The Knights were scheduled to begin their season Monday against Bardstown at home, but the game was rained out. The game was rescheduled for Tuesday. The results of that game were unknown as of press time.
The team will travel to Danville tonight to take on the Admirals.
If you have a passing interest in competitive fishing you've heard of B.A.S.S. 'Bass Anglers Sportsman Society.' And, given that, you know about the Bassmasters 'Classic' tournament.
O.K., so you don't know about either B.A.S.S. or the Classic! Well, the short story is that it's a bass fishing tournament where the winner gets half-a-million dollars. That's $500,000 cash plus around that much again in sponsor money, endorsements and 'appearance' fees.
Danny Marks was inducted into the 5th Region Hall of Fame prior to the boy's regional championship game at Central Hardin High School. Presenting the award to Marks is Marion County High School Athletic Director/Assistant Principal Robby Peterson.

The Marion County Knights varsity basketball team traveled to Central Hardin High School to take on the Bardstown Tigers in the semifinals of the regional tournament Monday of last week.
Despite a major comeback in the second half, the Knights fell short by three points, losing the contest 63-60.
The Marion County Lady Knights varsity basketball team played for a state title Saturday evening, an accomplishment that no other girls' team has been able to reach. Last year's team had advanced the farthest up to this point, making it to the final four. With a tough battle sure to follow, the Lady Knights knew they had to be up to a serious challenge. After a 32-minute, knock-down, drag-out battle, the Lady Knights came up just a bit short, and fell to Manual by a final score of 58-54.

Swansea v Fulham Live
Available on 7 channels inside the members area!!!
Swansea will hope to continue their giant-killing run in the FA Cup when they play Fulham at the Liberty Stadium on Saturday. Watch all the live streaming football here on Live Sport Network.
The Swans dumped holders Portsmouth out of the Cup in their last round by a 2-0 margin. The win was achieved thanks to goals from Nathan Dyer and Jason Scotland. Dyer proved to be Pompey's nemesis early on slotting past David James on 28 minutes. Nadir Belhadj was the culprit for the hosts when he brought down Jordi Gomez in the area. Scotland easily converted the resulting penalty to give Swansea a memorable win although keeper Dimi Konstantopoulos was called on to make some good saves late on in the game.
Swansea manager Roberto Martinez will hope that their fine form extends to this game as well and will help the Swans make it to the quarterfinals. With striker Gorka Pintado out of the squad after a hernia operation, Martinez will be forced to readjust his strike options. The Swans are also hoping to lure Jordi Gomez to sign a permanent deal at the club.
Meanwhile goalkeeper Dimi Konstantopoulos was unable to extend his lean deal to the end of the season after bad weather prevented him from signing the requisite paperwork in time.
Fulham rode into the fifth round with a 2-4 win over non-league side Kettering Town. Simon Davies had put Fulham ahead in their replay only for Craig Westcarr to level things up. Murphy scored in the 77th minute, but Westcarr evened it up in the 83rd minute. However late goals from Andy Johnson and Bobby Zamora spared the blushes for Fulham and gave them the win.
The Cottagers have signed France international Olivier Dacourt on loan till the end of the season after Jimmy Bullard's move to Hull and he may feature in this game.

The media loosely throws around the word "sociopath." Many people don't understand what being a sociopath means. But, if recent studies are correct, 1 in 25 people are considered to be sociopathic. That tells us that most of us will meet several sociopaths in our lifetime. The goal is meet them, work with them, pray with them, but do not get into a relationship with them. Attempting to have a relationship with an emotionally unavailable person will ultimately be psychologically destructive.
Initially sociopaths draw people toward them with their charisma, confidence, excitement, and adoring affection. At first, life with a sociopath is intoxicating. Unfortunately, once the newness wears off, partners of sociopaths realize that they were merely in love with a fantasy.
Sociopaths are grandiose, need to be the center of attention, and are preoccupied with power and prestige. They are highly competitive, view their partners as possessions, and turn their emotions on and off like a water faucet.
Jodi Arias is the latest person in the media who exhibits characteristics of a sociopath. Arias is now on trial for the murder of Travis Alexander. She has lied, changing her story several times about what happened on the night Alexander died. Now that she has finally admitted murdering him, Arias justifies killing Alexander by saying she was a battered woman.
When Arias was initially brought in for questioning, she exemplified superficiality. She was concerned about how she looked; standing on her head to put color in her cheeks, leaning over to flip her hair back and forth, and requesting her purse so she could put makeup on her face. Her appearance was far more important to her than the crime in which she was being accused.
Sociopaths find it nearly impossible to take responsibility. They believe the rules are different for them than they are for others, and they shift their responsibility by blaming someone else. Arias justifies savagely murdering Alexander by claiming he attacked her first.
Arias' behavior is incongruent. What she says, and what her body language shows, are two different things. For example, when she talks about Alexander, she often says what appears to be somewhat remorseful, but she says it with a wicked smile. Arias exhibits "borderline personality" characteristics; her relationship with Alexander was needy, she feared abandonment and she stalked him. Is it possible that she is displaying some examples of "splitting." This is characteristic of a borderline person. This can take place when two people have a conversation or an experience and later, the sociopath adamantly refuses to believe that the conversation or incident ever took place. Arias' extreme rage and jealously show that she is capable of blind rages. She often showed extreme jealously — slashing Alexander's tires was jealously in full swing.
Sociopaths are arrogant and haughty. They believe they are smarter than others, even if they have less experience and education. Arias has gone toe-to-toe with the Prosecuting Attorney Juan Martinez. He said, "You alluded that you had problems with your memory. Is this a long-standing thing or something the happened recently?"
Arias said, "I wouldn't necessarily say it was a problem."
She went on to explain that her memory was affected by men screaming at her the way Martinez and Alexander had done. Her psychological defense mechanism is arrogance and grandiosity. She does this in order to cover up her unconscious feelings of shame.
Sociopaths are known for their callousness and they have no depth of emotion. They are unable to be empathetic or compassionate, unless it serves their own needs. They are out of touch with their own emotions and they lack the capacity to feel. Deceitful and manipulative, they do not experience remorse or guilt. For example, Arias appears to be totally oblivious to what Alexander may have been feeling as he lay dying and she is insensitive to Alexander's family as she callously talks about his abusive behavior and their sex life.
Initially, these personality disordered people are fun to be with, intoxicating, drawing you in with wonderful promises. They talk a good talk, telling you just what you want to hear. The good news is that not all relationships with a sociopath end in death. But at the end of the relationship, you will be emotionally drained and psychologically devastated. If you find yourself in a toxic relationship with a person with these characteristics, know that you cannot change him/her and that you need to get out as quickly as possible.

The Knicks have only begun pre-draft workouts, but a wide variety of prospects have already been seen, with an even more diverse group of players set to continuing strolling in as the weeks go on.So far, New York has worked out potential first-round selections, some likely second-rounders, and even a handful that just may fall below the radar (like Norvel Pelle, pictured above), and go undrafted anyway.With just the 24th overall selection in this month's NBA Draft, what's the Knicks' motivation here?There are plenty of reasons to be exploring any and all possibilities of improving the team, and the draft is just one way to do it. By balancing this past season's squad with a slew of veterans on smaller (and less lucrative) contracts, the Knicks sort of put most (if not all) of their eggs in one basket. With Jason Kidd retiring and a small handful of other veterans' contracts up, perhaps it's time New York injects a bit of youth into its rotation.Having fallen short in the playoffs and getting ousted by the Pacers in just the second round, a different method to finding that perfect recipe for success certainly wouldn't be the worst thing in the world.Some of the better teams in the NBA choose to balance their star power and/or group of proven players by sprinkling in promising young guns. The Heat, Spurs, Thunder, Pacers, and Rockets are all among them. Maybe it's time the Knicks opt to do the same.Though New York only holds one pick in this month's draft, that doesn't mean that acquiring further selections is not an option.Buying and/or trading for a second round pick or two isn't a bad idea. The Knicks have found success inserting certain players selected later in the draft into their rotation in recent years.Of course, Landry Fields emerged as the Knicks' starting two-guard in 2010 after being drafted in the second round. The following season, Josh Harrellson went on to serve as a spot-rotation player, and even filled in nicely for the injured Amar'e StoudemireAlso drafted with Fields, second-round draft choice Jerome Jordan spent a year overseas before coming over for the 2011-12 season. Though he didn't play much, the big man managed to stay on the team the whole season, as Knicks' officials saw promise in him. They still like Jordan so much so, that he'll be rejoining the team for the third straight year in Summer League next month.Looking at their success in the past, it makes sense that the Knicks wouldn't mind filling out and ultimately putting the final touches on next season's rotation by adding a promising second-rounder or two.Should they still be set on adding more veterans, New York can also always opt to bring a few young guns into training camp, only to waive them and maintain their D-League rights. In this case, at least the Knicks could keep a closer eye on some of the more intriguing prospects in case those NBA players with older legs burn out too early in the season.

Thomas McEvilley (/məkˈɛvᵻliː/; July 13, 1939 – March 2, 2013) was an American art critic, poet, novelist, and scholar, a Distinguished Lecturer in Art History at Rice University,[1] and founder and former chair of the Department of Art Criticism and Writing at the School of Visual Arts in New York City.[2]
McEvilley was an expert in the fields of Greek and Indian culture, history of religion and philosophy, and art. He published several books and hundreds of scholarly monographs, articles, catalog essays, and reviews on early Greek and Indian poetry, philosophy, and religion as well as on contemporary art and culture. [1][2][3]
Toward a Redefinition of Painting for the Post-Modern Era[edit]
In his 1993 book The Exile's Return: Toward a Redefinition of Painting for the Post-Modern Era, McEvilley made an important contribution to the late twentieth century "death of painting" debate. He noted that after two decades of decline in importance as a medium, painting revived around 1980. In its return from exile, painting assumed a new theoretical basis in postmodern cultural theory, together with a new kind of self-awareness and interest in its own limitations.
Heads It's Form, Tails It's Not Content[edit]
In the article "Heads it's Form, Tails it's not Content" McEvilley describes a theoretical framework for the formalist project presented by postwar critics such as Clement Greenberg, Michael Fried and Sheldon Nodelman.[4] He argued that formalist ideas are rooted in Neoplatonism and as such deal with the problem of content by claiming that content is embedded within form. Formalism is based on a linguistic model that Claude Lévi-Strauss argued is given content through the unconscious. In adopting a formalist approach, a critic cannot ignore the content that accompanies every deployment of form.
Sculpture in the Age of Doubt[edit]
In the book Sculpture in the Age of Doubt (1999), McEvilley analyzes the intellectual issues surrounding the postmodern movement in the course of 20th-century sculpture.
The Shape of Ancient Thought[edit]
In The Shape of Ancient Thought, McEvilley explores the foundations of Western civilization. He argues that today's Western world must be considered the product of both Greek and Indian thought, both Western philosophy and Eastern philosophies. He shows how trade, imperialism and currents of migration allowed cultural philosophies to intermingle freely throughout India, Egypt, Greece and the ancient Near East. This book spans thirty years of McEvilley's research, from 1970 to 2000.[5]
Personal and education[edit]
McEvilley was born in Cincinnati. He studied Greek, Latin, Sanskrit, and classical philosophy in the classics programs of the University of Cincinnati[1] where he received a B.A., and the University of Washington, where he received an M.A..[6] He then returned to Cincinnati, where he received a Ph.D. in classical philology. He also retained a strong interest in modern art, reinforced by the modern artists of his acquaintance.
In 1969, McEvilley joined the faculty of Rice University, where he spent the better part of his teaching career.[3] He was a visiting professor at Yale University and the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, among others. He taught numerous courses in Greek and Indian culture, history of religion and philosophy. In 2008 he retired from teaching after 41 years, residing in New York City and in upstate New York in the Catskills.
He received numerous awards, including the Semple Prize at the University of Cincinnati, a National Endowment for the Arts Critics grant, a Fulbright fellowship in 1993, an NEA critic's grant, and the Frank Jewett Mather Award (1993) for Distinction in Art Criticism from the College Art Association.[3][7]
McEvilley was a contributing editor of Artforum and editor in chief of Contemporanea.[6]
McEvilley died on March 2, 2013 of complications from cancer at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center. He was 73. He is survived by his wife, the artist and writer, Joyce Burstein; two sons from a former marriage, Thomas and Monte; a sister, Ellen M. Griffin; and two grandchildren. His son Alexander predeceased him. He was married twice earlier; both marriages ended in divorce.[8]

1. Amazon
The world's largest retailer was started by Jeff Bezos in 1994. Amazon was initially started as an online bookstore. Bezos had the idea after hearing about the rise in internet use and after learning that mail order catalogs were not required to collect sales taxes in states where they lack a physical presence. Bezos and a few employees ran the company from his garage after quitting his job as Vice President of a successful Wall Street Investment Firm.
They then expanded operations into a two-bedroom house and eventually developed a test site. Amazon.com went public in 1997. In 2016, Amazon is now worth an estimated $300 Billion.
2. Spanx
Sarah Blakey took her $5,000 savings to start up Spanx. During an appearance on the Oprah Winfrey Show, Blakey told Winfrey that she got the idea for Spanx after hearing Oprah mention that she cut off the feet of pantyhose in order to wear them with sandals. It took her a year to create the first prototype that she tried out on friends and family, which was unheard of at the time. She was running the company out of her apartment and was still a fax machine salesperson at the time.
Since Spanx is a private company and does not release financial information, we do not know the annual revenue of the company. However, we do know that Blakely owns the entirety of the brand. Blakey is now reportedly worth $1.1 billion .
3. Minecraft
In the beginning Minecraft was developed by Swedish programmer Markus "Notch" Persson. It was later taken over by Mojang. It is second only to Tetris is being the best selling computer game. It also currently holds the title for most downloaded game.
Persson started working on Minecraft while working a full-time job. Once the game began to gain popularity, he quit his job to work on Minecraft. In 2015, he sold his company for $2.5 billion.
4. Google
Originally nicknamed "BackRub", the PageRank technology that defined Google was created by Sergey Brin and Larry Page in 1996. Brin and Page founded Google while they were getting their PHDs at Stanford. Their goal was simple, they wanted to create a place where you could find anything. But instead of using the number of times a search term appeared on a page as a primary method like most search engines of the day, Brin and Page focused on better system that analyzed the relationships between websites.
Working on the Google project from their dorm room, they were reluctant to become entrepreneurs because they didn't want to shelve their PHDs and rush into the hype of the "dot-com" craze. But after Google began to receive about 10,000 searches a day, they decided to take it seriously. Google was initially based in the garage of a friend in Menlo Park, California.
The company went public in 2004. As of 2016, Google averages 100 billion monthly searches.
5. Apple
Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak founded Apple in 1976. The original name was Apple Computers INC, and it's primary goal was to develop computers. The company grew under Jobs's lead. The company was originally operated out of Job's parents' garage. Apple is now the most valuable company in the world.

Hi Lauri,
I am not adept at using web sites to do genealogy. However, I am an
attorney by trade and I do know about running chains of title. If you
do not find your ancestors in either the Albany County Grantor Index or
the Albany County Grantee Index, one of two things is likely:
a) either they did not own real estate; or,
b) they did not record their deeds and/or freehold leases.
New York State is a difficult jurisdiction in which to do title searches
a) The patroons did not convey property to the early settlers. Instead
they used either term and freehold leases. A term lease is for a
definite period of time set forth in the instrument and it is not
capable of being recorded. A freehold lease is a lease for real estate
for an indefinite period of time. Usually this indefinite term was
defined as three life times. The three people whose lives were the
measure of the indefinite length of the lease are always named in the
lease. Although freehold leases are legally capable of being recorded,
very few actually were.
b) The New York Legislature did not abolish the Patroon system until
1841. So NO ONE in New York State gets good fee simple title to their
house and land until after 1841.
c) New York law does not require the use of a premises description
clause, so it was seldom used until the mid 20th Century. (The premises
description clause tells the buyer how his seller got the legal right to
convey the property in question.) In jurisdictions in which premises
description clauses were required, one can frequently find the
information from an unrecorded deed in a later "Whereas deed" which was
filed to correct the deficiency in the chain of title.
The LDS Family History Centers can get you the Grantor and Grantee
Indexes for any county. If you don't find your ancestors in either
Index, I am afraid that you are out of luck unless you can manage to
contact a local historian for the area in question, who knows about the
history of land conveyancing in that area. Such a person may have done
enough research to know about who lived there and when, even thought
there are unrecorded deeds. (I can do that for Middletown Township,
Delaware County, Pennsylvania, but that is the only municipality that I
know that well.)
You may be able to pick up clues for your ancestor's whereabouts in one
of the 19th Century county histories. You might also look for an old
atlas that contains property baseline maps for each of the towns in the
county in which you believe your ancestors lived.
However, as I said at the outset, using web sites and LDS microfilm for
doing research is not my strong suit. I tend to publish property
baseline maps and community histories not genealogies. So I am the old
fashioned kind who prefers to sling deed books in the County Clerk's
Office, although I understand that that is not always possible.
Sorry that I could not have been of more help. Hopefully the folks on
the list who are more adept at doing genealogical research on the
internet will be able to assist you.

By Richard Willing, USA TODAY
Twice this year, pro football legend Mike Ditka has blasted the National Football League and its players union, telling Congress that both groups are "delaying or denying" requests by needy retired players for help.
Ditka formed a charity in 2004 to aid those players. The Mike Ditka Hall of Fame Assistance Trust Fund has collected $1.3 million and netted about $315,000 after expenses. But it has given only $57,000 to former players in need, according to federal and Illinois tax records.
CHARITIES BROADEN REACH: Recipients' pool widens
The trust paid more in fees to induce former stars to appear at a 2005 fundraiser than it gave needy ex-players in its first three years.
The charity has spent $715,000, the bulk of the money it raised, to put on three annual golf tournaments, records show. That figure includes payments of about $280,000 to a Chicago firm that organized the tournaments and at least $65,000 in honoraria to ex-stars. The tax filing doesn't list the stars who received fees.
The Ditka fund projected that it would make $890,000 in grants to needy football Hall of Fame members or their families in its first three years, according to papers filed with the IRS when the charity sought tax-exempt status in 2004.
"The problem is finding (needy) guys and getting them to fill out the (application) form," Ditka said in an interview. "Some of these guys are scared of forms. There could be pride involved, too."
Ditka is the outspoken former Hall of Fame player and coach for the Chicago Bears. In June, he told a House panel that injured and needy ex-players are "treated like dogs" while the union "does nothing material to help these guys." His charity, he said then, was created to redress "this grave injustice."
The charity, recognized by the Internal Revenue Service as a tax-exempt organization, gave nothing to players during its first two years. It aided 10 ex-players in 2006.
Carl Francis, a spokesman for the players union, a key Ditka target, said the charity's payout undercuts Ditka's criticisms. "At some point it's got to be about more than holding yet another press conference and blasting people," Francis said. "You ought to be announcing 'We just gave away a half a million.' Unless, of course, you didn't."
Two charities formed by the NFL and its union gave about $1.1 million a year from 2000 through 2005 to needy ex-players and related causes, tax records show.
Ditka said he had paid little attention to his charity's numbers until this year. He has begun cutting fundraising costs and will insist that half of the annual tournament's proceeds be paid out, he said, adding that the trustees have been told to pay needy players first before requiring them to fill out forms.
Ditka said appearance fees will remain. "You're asking guys to play golf in August in a tournament that's got my name on it," he said.
Daniel Borochoff, president of the American Institute of Philanthropy, a charity watchdog, said the Ditka trust may have underestimated the charity's workload by naming only two volunteer trustees — three fewer than the minimum the institute recommends.
The group, he said, appears to have underestimated the cost of putting on golf tournaments, which are typically among the most expensive types of fundraiser.
Still, Borochoff said, details of expenditures such as the honoraria to Hall of Fame players that total more than the amount paid to needy players, are a "little embarrassing."
"People who thought they were playing to benefit old players could be disappointed by how little has gone to them," he said.

Do you have proof Charlie is actually pretending to be a homosexual man??? For all I know he could be pretending to be the girl the singer of the song is singing to.
That was funny.

Flip Wilson did those exact same mannerisms when he portrayed Geraldine in the 70's.
Actually, no. "Geraldine Jones," Flip Wilson's famous character, was a portrayal of "a sassy, modern woman who had a boyfriend named Killer (who, when not in prison, was at the pool hall)." There was no sexual overtones in his characterization of Jones, and no "come on" to other men in any of the program's sketches.
The Flip Wilson Show
Yes, maybe Hodge is "having fun pretending he is a woman." And what we know is his woman is coming on to Elvis. THAT is comedy gold!promiseland wrote:Elvis intentionally making fun of gays in concert just about takes the cake on FECC.
Maybe Elvis was just accidentally making fun of gay people in concert.

Would they send me someplace special for that?
