Photos: 2013 Chevrolet Camaro 1LE
The road-racing-inspired Chevrolet Camaro 1LE performance package returns for 2013 with unique gearing, suspension tuning and tires that make the model capable of more than 1 g of lateral acceleration and a sub-three minute lap time at Virginia International Raceway's Grand Course. It is offered on Camaro SS coupes with manual transmissions.
The 1LE package is offered on 1SS and 2SS coupe models with an exclusive Tremec TR6060-MM6 six-speed manual transmission. Paired with a numerically higher 3.91 final-drive ratio, the close-ratio gearing of the transmission is tuned for road-racing performance. As with the ZL1, the 1LE transmission features a standard air-to-liquid cooling system for track use.
The Chevrolet Camaro 1LE also features exclusive, monotube rear dampers instead of the twin-tube dampers on SS models. The new hardware allowed engineers to tune the 1LE suspension to focus on optimal body-motion control while preserving much of the ride quality and wheel-motion control of the Camaro SS.
Other changes to optimize the 1LE for track-day use include:
– Larger, 27-mm solid front stabilizer bar, and 28-mm solid rear stabilizer bar for improved body control
– Higher-capacity rear-axle half shafts to cope with increased levels of traction
– Strut tower brace for improved steering feel and response
– ZL1-based 20 x 10-inch front and 20 x 10-inch aluminum wheels
– 285/35ZR20 Goodyear Eagle Supercar G:2 tires front and rear (identical to the front tires for ZL1)
– ZL1 wheel bearings, toe links and rear shock mounts for improved on-track performance
– ZL1 high-capacity fuel pump and additional fuel pickups for improved fuel delivery during high-load cornering.
Visually, the 1LE package is distinguished by its matte black hood, front splitter and rear spoiler – as well as the 10-spoke ZL1-based wheels, which are finished in black. The functional front splitter and rear spoiler contribute to the car's on-track performance by helping to reduce aerodynamic lift at high speeds.
Inside, the Chevrolet Camaro 1LE package incorporates the ZL1's flat-bottom steering wheel, trimmed in sueded-microfiber and designed for easier heel-and-toe driving on the racetrack. The quick-acting, short-throw shifter from the ZL1 is also trimmed in sueded-microfiber.
In anticipation of consumers entering the 1LE in amateur-racing events, Chevrolet is pursuing SCCA approval of the 1LE package for Touring Class competition.
The first Chevrolet Camaro 1LE package was introduced in 1988, inspired by Camaro's involvement in Pro-Am road racing.

UPDATE: Police ID man found dead on rural Ellsworth farm
Pierce County officials have released the name of a man found dead outside his home Wednesday just north of Ellsworth. Although an exact cause of death has not been determined, Peter Neiderhauser's death was likely medically related, Pierce County Sheriff's Department Investigator Mike Waltz said.
Authorities say the death doesn't appear to be related to cold weather. No foul play is suspected.
Neiderhauser, 66, was found shortly after 1 p.m. Dec. 9 near a barn on the farm about four miles northeast of the village of Ellsworth. Deputies and the Ellsworth Area Ambulance Service responded to the call.
Neiderhauser was pronounced dead at about 2 p.m. by Deputy Medical Examiner Jane Drazkowski.

The long-awaited first visit by Duke to Petersen Events Center was expected to serve as a showcase for the ACC's leading player of the year candidates.
The only question was whether the winner between the nationally ranked teams would be the one featuring a 6-foot-5 fifth-year senior or a 6-9 freshman phenom.
Instead, Andre Dawkins stole the show by sinking six 3-pointers to lead the No. 17 Blue Devils to an 80-65 victory over the No. 18 Panthers on Monday night before a standing-room-only crowd of 12,944. It was the largest on-campus crowd in school history.
"I felt like we would defend better, and we simply didn't," Pitt coach Jamie Dixon said. "They played well, and I don't think we did, so that's the result we ended up with. I need to do a better job of getting the message across defensively.
"We simply put ourselves in a hole by not getting stops."
Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski expressed great respect for Pitt's program and the atmosphere at Petersen Events Center, which was designated a "Gold Out" game as fans were given gold T-shirts.
"It's our biggest win because of the caliber of team we played against and the venue," Krzyzewski said. "This is a spectacular venue. The crowd is terrific. There's a great spirit. What an addition to the ACC."
Like Pitt's Lamar Patterson, Dawkins is a 6-5 fifth-year senior. Unlike Patterson, Dawkins sat out last season as a redshirt. Where Patterson struggled in shooting 4 of 14 (14 points), Dawkins scored 20 points by making 7 of 9 shots from the field, including 6 of 7 3-pointers.
Dawkins scored 14 points in the second half, making four 3s.
"We knew he could shoot," Patterson said. "He hit a couple tough ones, which gets you going. Then we were leaving him open, which wasn't smart."
Duke (17-4, 6-2) shot 52 percent (13 of 25) from 3-point range and 48.3 percent (28 of 58) overall. The 13 3s were the most Pitt has allowed all season.
Pitt (18-3, 6-2) was 21 of 51 (41.2 percent) from the field, making 5 of 12 3s.
"We made a lot of mental mistakes on defense," Pitt forward Michael Young said. "They got a lot of open shots, and they put a lot of them in."
The Panthers jumped out to leads of 8-2 and 12-6 before Duke answered with a 14-5 run sparked by a Jabari Parker dunk, two free throws and a 3-pointer. The Blue Devils took their first lead on Rodney Hood's 3-pointer with 8:21 left in the half.
Parker had 16 points and five rebounds in the first half and finished with game-highs of 21 points and 11 rebounds. Hood, meanwhile, held Patterson in check in a matchup between a two of the ACC's player of the year candidates.
"Basically you had a wash there, Rodney and Lamar. They're two of the best players, and they kind of canceled one another out," Krzyzewski said. "Both of those kids have to be exhausted. Thankfully, we have a kid of Rodney's caliber to guard him because he's had a great year, a player-of-the-year kind of year."
Patterson was 1 for 4 from the field for four points and four rebounds but also had four turnovers and only one assist in the first half.
Pitt got a boost for the second consecutive game from freshman power forward Jamel Artis, who came off the bench to score eight points in the first half. Artis hit a 3-pointer to tie it at 24-24 and another to give the Panthers a 32-31 lead with 1:36 left in the half.
But Pitt had trouble protecting the perimeter as Duke made 6 of 11 3-pointers (54.5 percent) in the first half. Hood's 3 from the right wing gave the Blue Devils a 34-32 edge at halftime.
Pitt tied it twice early in the second half, but Dawkins sparked Duke to a 15-3 run. He started the run with a tip-in and finished it with three 3-pointers. In between, Quinn Cook hit a trey of his own, and Duke had a 67-54 lead at 5:40. Pitt went a span of 5:23 between baskets before a Patterson three-point play, and the Panthers were down 72-57 after Amile Jefferson answered with a three-point play.

Lindsay Lohan: 'I'm a Damn Good Actress'
Before being sentenced to jail/rehab for a four-week spa treatment and pedi, Lindsay Lohan sat down for an interview with Vanity Fair where she opened up about her alleged drug use and commitment to acting. And by opened up I of course mean spewed a bunch of bullshit like that chick from The Exorcist. "HOLLYWOOD MADE ME DO DRUGS! FUCK ME, JESUS!" *horf horf horf horf spin spin spin spin* Via Us Magazine:
On everyone (*cough*Dina*cough*) putting drugs in front of her, so it's not her fault:
"I've never abused prescription drugs. I never have — never in my life. I have no desire to. That's not who I am. I've admitted to the things that I've done — to, you know, dabbling in certain things and trying things 'cause I was young and curious and thought it was like, O.K., 'cause other people were doing it and other people put it in front of me. And I see what happened in my life because of it."
On looking up to Britney Spears:
When she first moved to Los Angeles, she says tabloids were her main source of news and that was "really scary and sad … I would look up to those girls … the Britneys and whatever. And I would be like, I want to be like that."
On acting:
"I want my career back. I know that I'm a damn good actress, and it's been my passion since I was a child, and I know that when I care about something, I put 100 percent and more into it."
On not going to the clubs because they're stupid anyway:
"I want the respect that I had when I was doing great movies. And if that takes not going out to a club at night, then so be it. It's not fun anyway. I don't care. It's the same thing every time."
And to show how committed Lindsay Lohan is to focusing on her career by not going to clubs, she was already pulled over Sunday night for running a stop light to get to Marmont as soon as possible.

The Page Visibility API lets you know when a webpage is visible or in focus. With tabbed browsing, there is a reasonable chance that any given webpage is in the background and thus not visible to the user. When the user minimizes the webpage or moves to another tab, the API sends a
visibilitychange event regarding the visibility of the page. You can detect the event and perform some actions or behave differently. For example, if your web app is playing a video, it would pause the moment the user looks at another browser, and plays again when the user returns to the tab. The user does not lose their place in the video and can continue watching.
Visibility states of an
<iframe> are the same as the parent document. Hiding the iframe with CSS properties does not trigger visibility events nor change the state of the content document.
The API is particularly useful for saving resources by giving developers the opportunity to not perform unnecessary tasks when the webpage is not visible.
Use cases
A few examples:
- A site has an image carousel that shouldn't advance to the next slide unless the user is viewing the page.
- An application showing a dashboard of information doesn't want to poll the server for updates when the page isn't visible.
- A page wants to detect when it is being prerendered so it can keep accurate count of page views.
- A site wants to switch off sounds when a device is in standby mode (user pushes power button to turn screen off)
Developers have historically used imperfect proxies to detect this. For example, registering an onblur/onfocus handler on the window helps you know when your page is not the active page, but it does not tell you that your page is hidden to the user. The Page Visibility API addresses this. (When compared with registering onblur/onfocus handlers on the window, a key difference is that a page does not become hidden when another window is made active and the browser window loses focus. A page only becomes hidden when the user switches to a different tab or minimizes the browser window.)
View live example (video with sound).
The example, which pauses the video when you switch to another tab and plays again when you return to its tab, was created with the following code:
// Set the name of the hidden property and the change event for visibility var hidden, visibilityChange; if (typeof document.hidden !== "undefined") { // Opera 12.10 and Firefox 18 and later support hidden = "hidden"; visibilityChange = "visibilitychange"; } else if (typeof document.msHidden !== "undefined") { hidden = "msHidden"; visibilityChange = "msvisibilitychange"; } else if (typeof document.webkitHidden !== "undefined") { hidden = "webkitHidden"; visibilityChange = "webkitvisibilitychange"; } var videoElement = document.getElementById("videoElement"); // If the page is hidden, pause the video; // if the page is shown, play the video function handleVisibilityChange() { if (document[hidden]) { videoElement.pause(); } else { videoElement.play(); } } // Warn if the browser doesn't support addEventListener or the Page Visibility API if (typeof document.addEventListener === "undefined" || typeof document[hidden] === "undefined") { console.log("This demo requires a browser, such as Google Chrome or Firefox, that supports the Page Visibility API."); } else { // Handle page visibility change document.addEventListener(visibilityChange, handleVisibilityChange, false); // When the video pauses, set the title. // This shows the paused videoElement.addEventListener("pause", function(){ document.title = 'Paused'; }, false); // When the video plays, set the title. videoElement.addEventListener("play", function(){ document.title = 'Playing'; }, false); }
Properties overview
trueif the page is in a state considered to be hidden to the user, and
document.visibilityStateRead only
Is a
stringdenoting the visibility state of the document. Possible values:
visible: the page content may be at least partially visible. In practice this means that the page is the foreground tab of a non-minimized window.
hidden: the page content is not visible to the user. In practice this means that the document is either a background tab or part of a minimized window, or the OS screen lock is active.
prerender: the page content is being prerendered and is not visible to the user (considered hidden for purposes of
document.hidden). The document may start in this state, but will never transition to it from another value. Note: browser support is optional.
unloaded: the page is being unloaded from memory. Note: browser support is optional.

Nevada is the only U.S. state to allow some legal prostitution. Currently eight counties in Nevada have active brothels (these are all rural counties); as of June–July 2008 there were 28 legal brothels in Nevada. Prostitution outside the licensed brothels is illegal throughout Nevada.

Pacific Rim Will Be 3D
Warners has decided to post-convert
While its action-heavy giant robots-battle-massive-monsters scale might have seemed perfect for 3D (despite the drawbacks of the format), Guillermo del Toro has been on record as preferring not to give Pacific Rim the stereographic treatment. Well, it would appear that Warners has other ideas and is already post-converting the movie.
The film was shot in 2D and will have to go through the usual process, which, with del Toro overseeing things, should hopefully not end up in a Clash Of The Titans murk-fest situation. The release date is currently still set for next July, so that should leave enough time to do a proper job.
Pacific Rim finds Idris Elba, Charlie Hunnam and Charlie Day as the humans engaged in a battle against invading alien beasties. They're called upon to pilot a huge human defence 'bot – a Jaeger- to stop the marauding nasties from wiping us all out.
Del Toro showed a small fragment of the movie off to impressive effect at this year's Comic-Con, but we'll have to wait a little while to see the first trailer. While you test your patience, why not check out our feature on monster movies to catch up on before you see the Rim?

WASHINGTON (AP) General Services Administration Director Stephen Perry knows the federal agency he runs isnt a household name. The Canton, Ohio, native enjoys being a behind-the-scenes man who makes sure federal buildings are stocked and maintained.
Its a job that involves everything from buying desks and phones for federal employees to overseeing the construction of a new federal courthouse.
After the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, Congress ordered the Transportation Department to install new security measures at every airport. Perrys agency was responsible for ordering the necessary equipment.
When the president created a new Homeland Security Department, it was Perrys agency that found office space and provided employees with office supplies.
Well take care of the acquisition and well take care of leasing facilities and well take care of providing the technology that you need and the office furniture that you need to run your office, and then you can focus more on your agencys core mission, he said.
Perry was appointed by President Bush in 2001 as director of GSA, a 14,000-employee agency with an annual budget of $16 billion.
The soft-spoken Perry, 56, previously was a senior vice president at Canton-based Timken Co., where he worked for 37 years. He also was a member of former Ohio Gov. George Voinovichs cabinet as director of the Department of Administrative Services in the 1990s.
Steves not in this for the glory of Steve, said W.R. Tim Timken, president of Timken Co. and a close friend of Perrys.
If the job required him to promote GSA, he would be capable of doing it, Timken said. What you need is people who are working behind the scenes to deliver efficiency with the taxpayers dollars. All the agencies depend on him and his organization.
Perry was the 10th of 12 children. His father, Andre, came to the United States from the Cape Verde Islands off the west coast of Africa in the 1920s and settled in Canton, where he was a steel worker at Republic Steel Corp. for 30 years. Perrys mother, Mae, was a homemaker.
Perry attended Timken High School and graduated in 1963, going to work in Timkens stock room while also taking classes at the University of Akron.
Perry completed the Executive Development Program at the University of Michigan in 1981 and earned a masters degree in management from Stanford University in 1984, advancing with the company along the way.
We saw the talent there, that he had the opportunity and excellence to grow within the company, Timken said.
Perry also was a community leader, serving on the Ohio Board of Regents, which oversees the states colleges and universities, as well as many area boards, including the Stark Community Foundation.
We miss him a great deal, said foundation President Jim Bower. When you look around in a medium-sized city like ours at people who are role models for ethnic minorities, especially the African American community, they are especially highly regarded.
John Bankert, executive director of the National Football Hall of Fame, where Perry served on the Halls board, said he and his friend share a love of the Cleveland Browns. The two also have attended several Super Bowl and Pro Bowl games together.
Hes a very knowledgeable guy, both in business and also in sports, Bankert said. When it comes to business, hes no nonsense. But as soon as we would leave the board room, he was just one of the guys.
Perry wears large glasses and smiles a lot, especially when talking about his wife, Sondra, and their six grandchildren, or while describing a particularly difficult golf shot.
And, he always carries his small black planner with him to meetings, Voinovich recalled.
He was very methodical. You never had to remind him of something, Voinovich said.
While serving in Voinovichs cabinet, Perry encouraged state employees to come up with ideas for how to make their services more efficient and customer friendly, including reducing long lines at the state Department of Motor Vehicles.
In 1993, Perry left public service and returned to Timken as vice president of human resources, purchasing and communications. He was promoted to senior vice president in 1997.
Standing recently in his spacious top-floor government office next to a marble fireplace framed by two large windows, Perry was eager to show off his most prized wall hanging: A poster of the agencys mission, values and goals.
It states: We help federal agencies better serve the public by offering, at best value, superior workplaces, expert solutions, acquisition services, and management policies.
The list appears in every office and when GSA employees log on to their computers. Some employees carry a wallet-size version of the list in their pocket. Perry carries one in his planner.
He said its a reminder that his job makes it possible for other federal agencies to do their jobs, which could include providing a family with a Social Security payment or Medicaid.
The thing that is inspiring to me, and I think to most associates at GSA, is that we know that were a part of the value chain in delivering that service to that family, and thats pretty cool, he said.
Another thing that Perry considers pretty cool: He flew with Bush on Air Force One to visit the Timken Co. in April.
Being from Canton and having grown up there, born in a relatively modest situation, just one of the kids in the neighborhood, all these years later, actually to visit my home town with the President of the United States ... Thats a pretty heady experience.

LIVERPOOL full back Martin Kelly has signed for Crystal Palace on a three-year deal just hours before manager Tony Pulis left the club.
The 24-year-old from Newton-le-Willows played 43 times for the Anfield club and has been capped once for England.
Speaking to Crystal Palace official website he said: "I'd heard about a potential move at the start of the summer, but I just wanted to concentrate on playing again in pre-season. I played a lot of games, which is what I needed. I've been out, fit, but not playing competitively all of last season.
"Now is the time at that age where I need to get back to playing week-in week-out.
Kelly is the second St Helens born Liverpool player to leave this summer following Conor Coady's transfer to Huddersfield Town.
Both players saw their managers depart soon after they joined their new clubs. Mark Robins left following an opening day defeat to Bournemouth and Pulis left Palace by mutual consent less than 48 hours before the start of the new season.

Thank you too Will. You get a fair amount of heat, but you're excellent at what you do and a big reason why people - including myself - resubscribe every year.
Jul 21, 2009 10:12 AM
Will - thanks for all you do. It's appreciated far and wide. I do question how you could not know Schmidt was pitching last night. As a Dodger fan, this is a moment I've been waiting for with bated breath. Ok not really....

The mlb blackout restrictions are the most retarded thing I've ever heard of. Way to ruin a great feature. Why would anyone want to watch a game on the iphone unless they are out of the house? It would be great if I could watch the Mets on TV at home and on my iphone when I am out. I would definitely pay extra for that. Then again, maybe its not so bad as it saves me money and me from torturing myself by watching that train wreck.
Jul 21, 2009 10:29 AM
Hope everything's OK, Will. And many thanks for all your entertaining and informative work.
Jul 21, 2009 10:36 AM
Will, first, good luck later this week. Hope all goes well and you feel good enough to be back writing soon.
Jul 21, 2009 10:46 AM
Will, all the best on the outcome of your procedure and my best wishes for a pain-free recovery. UTK is indeed a reason why I am a subscriber, and (selfishly!) I hope you are back (too) soon!
Jul 21, 2009 11:27 AM
Thanks all for the well wishes. I expect to be back next week. I scheduled it for that gap between ASG and trade deadline.

As a Yankee fan, the whole Wang situation has been frustrating to watch. He's just never been right since the foot injury (though he HAD gotten mechanically out of whack before the foot injury. See the 2007 ALDS). This was a really, really valueable guy and now one has to wonder if he will ever been effective again.
Jul 21, 2009 14:12 PM
I'm shocked at the Schmidt analysis. This is coming from a Cardinals fan and not a Dodgers fan. I watched the Dodgers game last night and after the first inning he looked good. The guy hasn't pitched in ages. What did you want him to do? I think he'll be better than an innings eater.
Jul 21, 2009 15:02 PM
Any Reports on Scott Richmond? Around Toronto people are saying he has a "dead arm" which is very vague.
Jul 21, 2009 19:04 PM
Somebody needs to go to the edge of a blackout area and jump back and forth with the game on. And of course be yelling, "Black Out! Black In! Black Out! Black In! Black Out! Black In!"

Do you know if they are still charging extra for bottle water and soft drinks (Coke, etc)? I've gotten spoiled on Radisson (now Regent) where these are included in the price, but the one time I was on Oceania a couple of years ago, they charged extra and passengers (including myself) were hauling bottled water on to the ship from the ports. I was just wondering if they had changed the policy. Thank you!
welcome to Cruise-Chat.com. http://images8.fotki.com/v154/photos...33/wave-vi.gif
Yes, most definitely Oceania does charge you for bottled water and soft drinks. RSSC operates in a higher market segment (luxury vs. deluxe) and in the luxury segment, drinks are often included.
RSSC charge extra $$$ upfront so you don't have to pay for water and drinks onboard.
I don't mind the "pay as you go" system as we very seldom drink and I can drink the tap water.
Our drink bill for a 14 day cruise on Oceania is under $50.
When I compare that to the extra fare on RSSC I save about $2000.+ http://cruise-chat.com/groupee_commo...icon_smile.gif
Different priorites for different people
Thank you for the replies. We don't drink either & had tap water with dinner on Oceania, as well as RSSC. I was just under the impression that Oceania marketed itself on the same class as RSSC - my error. The bottled water we put in the fridge so we have cold water on the next day's walks through town. The kids enjoy the "free" sodas on board, but they can survive on water. ;-)
But is the tap water safe? On a riverboat tour of China we were told to ONLY drink bottled water... which, fortunately, was provided. I don't like the idea of: Buy water or else get poisoned.
The more I hear about Oceania, the more inclined I am to to try Holland or Norwegian.
Not sure what you have heard about Oceania that would cause you to choose HAL or NCL instead.
BTW HAL & NCL will charge for bottled water & cokes also

mj 6.0 swap on tons
1 Attachment(s)
Picked up an 89 mj a few months back.2wd short box with a 4.0/5spd. Very little rust. Paid 1400 for it with 97k. I bought it with evil intentions. Ls engine, Muncie trans, 1tons, and 37"+ tires.
Attachment 982418
Iv already got motor and trans. 6.0 truck engine running just shy of 400 HP stock. And a 4 speed to plant it. Already pulled the 4.0 and started the engine bay cleanup.
This is gonna be wicked!!!
Motor mounts from Novak should be in Saturday. Picking up an intake later today for the engine. Little back story on the engine. It's a 2008 ly6 6.0 truck engine with 8,000 miles on it. I picked it up for $130. The reason is the block is broken on the drivers side lower bell housing bolt. Good thing I'm a welder and know plenty of people to get that fixed up easy. The plan is bigger injectors, cam, some valve train work, and headers. With that I should be around 400. These engines ran approx 380hp stock. I'll do my best to keep this thread updated.
Alright so iv been going back and forth about my trans choice. Iv got an sm465 (4 speed Muncie with granny low) that I originally planned to run but I'm worried that this will make it obnoxious to drive on the highway for long trips. Do I go with an nv4500 or put lower gears in the axles to make up for it. Remember I'm running over 400hp in a truck that's going to weigh around 3000lb
absolutely nv4500... do it right the first time. you will almost certainly have to hack the tub to fit it in there...but you wont have to worry about it ever again.
do you have axles yet? if you aggressively follow the axle classifieds on pirate you can find anything you want in the one ton category. i just picked up at 97 hp ford 60 complete for 750 with 4.10s...
what transfer case are you looking at?
I'm looking at a Chevy 203. The only thing I'm worried about is trying to find a 4500 for a decent price. Axles I'm not worried about yet. Just trying to focus on the drive train right now. I know enough guys in the area that have axles laying around
Subbed... I'm jealous.
you got 700$???????
Seems like allot for the mileage and synchro problems. Are there any other options other than a nv45 that will give me a decent highway gear and still hold up?
another option...?
I'll be watching!
Based on calculations from this website.
With a 4.10 axle ratio and a 40" tire and the Muncie 1-1 final drive I'll run around 2400rpm at 70. I think I might be ok with that. I'm still tossing around a nv45 but right now I don't want to spend the money on it.
what about a 3550? low first gear, right? and it has a decent reputation. i dont know how abusive you plan on being

Angel Coulby, arthur, arwen, BBC, Bradlet James, Guinevere, Gwen, kiss, kissing, Merlin
In a short new video, Merlin star Angel Coulby talks about the first time her character Gwen had to kiss Bradley James' Arthur.
It's time for another installment of the Merlin Advent Calendar! Previously BBC has brought us clips of Bradley James and Colin Morgan joking about James' attitude on set and whether the show should be called Arthur, as well as Katie McGrath defending Morgana and wondering if she just wants a cuddle, and Angel Coulby talking about James' drawings.
Now, another clip answers the question: what went through Coulby's mind when she first had to kiss Bradley James on screen?
"You just do it," Coulby shrugs, "it's like another part of the job. And Bradley and I, we're mates, so we just kind of got on with it and did it, really." Well… what a job eh? She does add that, "I think Bradley really enjoyed it though. So that's good."
In other news, Merlin is almost over, what!? We here on Hypable have gone slightly overboard with the worrying and theorising about how it's all gonna end, we're not gonna lie, and the evidence can be heard on the latest installment of our Merlin podcast Talks of Camelot. There's also A Month of Merlin, a series of articles celebrating all things about the show, so be sure to check that out if you haven't yet!

Tony Abbott has a clear lead over Julia Gillard as preferred prime minister for the first time since July last year, the latest Newspoll shows.
Voter satisfaction with the prime minister has dived to its lowest since August last year and Labor's primary vote languishes at a seven-month low, according to the poll published in The Australian.
The survey, taken at the weekend, shows Labor's primary vote is just 31 per cent and the coalition's is 47 per cent.
Based on preference flows at the last election, the coalition has a two-party-preferred lead of 55 per cent to Labor's 45 per cent.
After formally breaking away from Labor, the Greens' primary vote rose from 9 per cent to 11 per cent.

Historical Amnesia: The Humphrey-Hawkins Act, Full Employment and Employment as a Right
Economist William A. Darity has proposed a federal job guarantee with decent wages for all job seekers, an idea with deep, but largely forgotten, roots in US history.The article briefly explores some New Deal job-creation efforts and President Franklin Roosevelt's proposal for an Economic Bill of Rights. It then focuses on two major attempts to secure full employment through legislation. The Full Employment Bill of 1945 was defeated; the compromise, the Employment Act of 1946 did not have full employment as its goal. After years of struggle, a much-weakened Humphrey-Hawkins Full Employment and Balanced Growth Act of 1978 passed, but then was violated and virtually ignored. Full employment shifts power from capital to labor, so major opposition can be expected from efforts to obtain it. Proponents need more power and a strong movement, including at the grassroots level, pushing for jobs for all--not just jobs for me or my group. Publicizing the benefits of past job programs and reintroducing the idea of a decent-paying job as a right are suggested, as well as making decent jobs for all the center of economic policy. This requires a fundamental break with neoliberalism and reallocating political power away from big business and Wall Street toward middle and working-class people and the working- and non-working poor.

NOW for something completely different - some positive news for Australia ahead of the Ashes.
Mitchell Johnson, arguably the team's most mercurial player, diverted from the string of failures among his batsmen teammates to make 121 not out for Western Australia, his maiden Sheffield Shield century. Importantly, he complemented that innings with a hostile spell of bowling at the MCG, which included the wicket of Aaron Finch an over after striking the Victorian on the forearm.
The three wickets taken by the Warriors late on a rain-plagued day two allowed them to lead the home side by 291 runs at the halfway mark of the match, having made 358 in their first innings.
While Johnson was rapt with the century, he said that feeling was matched by what he produced when he got a chance to bowl later in the day.
''It was exciting for me to be out there, to put on a big partnership when we needed it, but to rough-up the batter and get him an over later was quite nice,'' the left-armer said of the scalp of Finch, who was too slow in attempting a pull shot, which led to Brett Dorey taking a brilliant one-handed catch at mid-on.
''It felt good towards the end. I felt I was getting a good bit of rhythm, good bit of pace. The boys were supporting me and were getting pretty excited when they saw a few fly through. Typical fast bowler, you like to see the batsmen jump around. I'll be trying to do that tomorrow as well.''
In a potential boost for Australia's Ashes prospects, Johnson said reaching the century, from only 118 deliveries, had made him feel like he did early last year during his destructive performance in South Africa, where he averaged 85 with the bat and snared 16 wickets in three Tests.
''I'm feeling very confident. Getting a few runs helps as well,'' he said. ''I was thinking back to when I was making runs in South Africa, it definitely helps your bowling as well when you have that confidence about you. If I can keep doing that, look out the Poms.''
Victoria's day was bleak on the scoreboard and overhead, and it got worse late in the day when Andrew McDonald was ruled out of the rest of the match - and probably the next month, too - with a broken bone in his hand.
All-rounder McDonald left the field late on Wednesday after dropping a returning chance from a blasted Adam Voges drive at chest height.

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
I've heard you can not file them both at the same time. What's the problem with that?
The waiver of service must be dated AFTER the petition for divorce was filed with the court.
Why? Because you cannot give up your rights until a lawsuit has been filed at the courthouse.
You cannot give up your rights BEFORE a lawsuit has been filed.
If the waiver of service is dated before the petition is "stamped" by the clerk at the courthouse it is not valid and will not be accepted by the judge.
In summary, it is not worth the paper it is written on.
So...have the other spouse sign a new Waiver of Service sign in front of a notary and it will be dated AFTER the Petition for Divorce has been "filed stamped" after the Petition for Divorce has been filed at the Courthouse. Done! Perfect! Everyone is happy, happy!
Now, if the spouse won't do cooperate, you will need to serve him/her with the Petition for Divorce and a third party needs to serve the papers and file the notification at the courthouse with the Judge. You cannot serve your spouse or have friend do the "service". The "service" must be done an exact way & you need an "expert" to do it right. If the person does not do "anything' you can proceed with a "default divorce" -- especially if you do not have minor children. So hire an attorney to assist you in doing this.
If you need a referral, look on my website for 2 excellent attorneys that can help you at a reasonable price. (www.familylaw4u.com) I am only mediating these days and I will not accept new cases.
Good luck!Ask a similar question
thank you
i am not sure about TX law but in VA the complaint has to be filed first because the waiver form contains an acknowledgement that the person waiving service has received a copy of the complaint filed on x date or copy of the summons with the complaint filed on x date. A complaint is not filed until the clerk has stamped it as filed. Thus, it is impossible to file the complaint and waiver at the same time because it is impossible for the party waiving to have received a copy of the filed complaint before it was 'filed'.

By Scot Case
Greenwashing is still prevalent and savvy purchasers should know how to spot environmental claims that are meaningless.
The growing demand for more environmentally preferable goods and services has led many manufacturers to find cost-effective ways of improving their environmental performance and the environmental performance of their offerings. As a result, safer products of every kind are available.
Unfortunately, not all manufacturers have made the investments necessary to provide more environmentally preferable products. In order to compete in a market that demands "green" products, some manufacturers have resorted to creative advertising instead.
The practice of inflating a company's (or its product's) environmental benefits is known as "greenwashing." The practice appears to be growing, and purchasers are learning that they must carefully examine all environmental claims to ensure the environmental benefits they seek are reflected in the products and services they buy.
HISTORY OF GREENWASHINGIn the late 1980s and early 1990s when professional purchasers and individual consumers first became interested in buying green products, the following kinds of claims began appearing on products:
Manufacturers were using the terms indiscriminately and without any attempt to clarify their meaning. Purchasers were rightly confused about the meaning of the claims.
Following numerous consumer complaints, the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC), which enforces a wide variety of consumer protection laws, began investigating what the FTC Chair at the time referred to as "advertising pollution."
As part of its investigation, the FTC identified a variety of deceptive advertising practices, including manufacturers making unsubstantiated environmental claims and misleading consumers about the environmental benefits of their products. Following its investigation, the FTC issued its Guides for the Use of Environmental Marketing Claims in 1992 outlining acceptable and unacceptable environmental marketing practices. The guidelines were revised and updated in 1998.
FTC guidelines require manufacturers to provide specific details explaining any environmental claim without overstating an environmental attribute or benefit. According to the guidelines, generic claims of "environmental preferability," "environmentally friendly," or "Earth smart" are to be avoided because they do not provide purchasers with any specific information that can be used to compare products. Such claims are unacceptable without an accompanying explanation detailing the specific environmental requirements necessary to justify the claim.
THE NEW FACE OF GREENWASHINGWhile greenwashing decreased following the release of the FTC guidelines, it did not completely disappear. In fact, as demand for more environmentally preferable products rises, greenwashing appears to be reemerging as an important concern for purchasers and other supply chain professionals. A forthcoming study of modern greenwashing practices identifies the following six greenwashing "sins":
SIN OF FIBBING - While rare, some manufacturers do mislead customers about the actual environmental performance of their products. Some manufacturers have claimed that their products meet the environmental standards developed by EcoLogo or Green Seal when it is clear they do not. The EcoLogo program even has a fraud advisory section on its Web site warning purchasers about misuses of the EcoLogo certification mark.
SIN OF UNSUBSTANTIATED CLAIMS - Also known as the sin of "just trust us," some manufacturers are unable to provide proof of their environmental claims. Others use words like "green" or "eco" in their corporate or product names and hope no one asks for details. All environmental claims should be verified by an independent certifying body or auditor, or the manufacturer should be willing and able to provide the necessary documentation to prove a claim when it is requested. Purchasers should be able to easily verify the recycled content of a product or to learn whether it contains any ingredients of concern.
SIN OF IRRELEVANCE - Some manufacturers make factually correct environmental assessments that are no longer relevant for the particular product category. As an example, many aerosol products continue to make "CFC-free" claims even though CFCs have been banned in these products since 1978. These accurate but irrelevant environmental claims can confuse even savvy purchasing professionals.
SIN OF THE HIDDEN TRADE-OFF - Many products make bold claims about a single environmental attribute, which can lead purchasers to mistakenly believe that it is the only environmental attribute of concern for a particular product category. A cleaning product manufacturer, for example, is currently displaying an environmental certification mark documenting that its cleaning products are manufactured in a facility powered by renewable energy, which is clearly a beneficial environmental feature. The product makes no claims, however, about the potential human health or environmental hazards of the product itself. Purchasers could easily be misled by the certification mark to believe that the product is safer or uses safer ingredients than its competitors when that may not be true. Review products with single attribute claims carefully.
SIN OF VAGUENESS - Broad, poorly defined environmental claims continue to challenge purchasers seeking high-quality environmentally preferable products. A vague claim such as "100 percent natural," for example, can be very misleading because some naturally occurring substances such as arsenic and dioxin can be very harmful to human health. Legitimate environmental claims are not vague.
SIN OF RELATIVISM - A product can be the most environmentally preferable product in its class, but still be an appropriate choice. The most fuel-efficient sport utility vehicle (SUV), for example, is still less preferable if a mid-sized passenger car will suffice.
AVOIDING THE PERILS OF GREENWASHINGThe big challenge for professional purchasers and other supply chain management professionals is determining which environmental claims are meaningful and relevant, and which ones should be avoided.
The most powerful tool in the professional purchasers' arsenal is the power to ask good questions. When presented with an environmental claim about a product or service, the following questions can be useful for determining the accuracy and relevancy of the claim:
It is important to note that a stringent verification process is relatively meaningless if the standard itself is not meaningful.
FREQUENTLY SITED ENVIRONMENTAL STANDARDSGiven the growing uncertainty associated with the rising number of environmental claims, purchasing professionals are increasingly relying on a few well-respected environmental standards. Based on a review of recent contracts, Energy Star is the most frequently cited single attribute program. EcoLogo and Green Seal are the most frequently cited multiple-attribute programs.
Some of the most frequently cited environmental programs include: Chlorine Free Products Association; EcoLogo; Energy Star Program; EPEAT; Forest Stewardship Council; Green-e; GREENGUARD; and Green Seal.
By relying on legitimate environmental standards and certification organizations, and asking appropriate questions, professional purchasers can ensure they are buying the highest quality green goods.
Scot Case has been researching and promoting responsible purchasing issues for 14 years. He has consulted with the world's largest purchasers and the world's largest companies. He is currently vice president of TerraChoice Environmental Marketing, which manages the EcoLogo program. He can be reached via e-mail at email@example.com.

Denoised Least Squares Forecasting of GDP Changes Using Indexes of Consumer and Business Sentiment
Indexes of consumer and business sentiment are frequently characterized by measurement errors and short-term cyclical fluctuations that can distort their predictive accuracy for GDP changes. While measurement errors arise due to the survey sampling procedures that characterize these surveys, short-term cyclical fluctuations are generally linked with various exogenous and irregular factors that are not necessarily related to the economy. This paper shows, using data on the US economy, that applying wavelet denoising on indexes of consumer and business sentiment in the context of the linear regression model can overcome these limitations and can provide: (a) efficient coefficient estimates in models that explain consumer sentiment index variation; and (b) consistent coefficient estimates and predictions in models for GDP changes when using consumer and business sentiment indexes as predictors.

Anglers limited to 1 salmon per day in San Juan Islands
OLYMPIA - Starting Friday (April 12), anglers fishing the San Juan Islands (Marine Area 7) will be limited to one salmon per day.
State fishery managers approved the new limit - down from two fish per day - after determining that the number of chinook salmon kept or released has exceeded pre-season projections.
"Fishing picked up in late December and held steady through the remainder of the winter fishery," said Ryan Lothrop, a fish biologist for the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW). "After reviewing the catch estimates, it was clear we needed to take action to control the fishery's impacts on stocks of concern."
Anglers fishing in Marine Area 7 must release any chinook not specifically marked with a clipped adipose fin as a hatchery fish. However, since some released wild chinook do not survive, they are counted toward the management guideline of 4,284 total encounters with legal-size chinook during the fishery.
According to preliminary estimates, anglers had kept or released 4,976 chinook in Marine Area 7 as of April 7.
Lothrop reminds anglers that Bellingham Bay remains closed to salmon fishing.
The new catch limit will ensure compliance with conservation objectives and state-tribal management plans in Puget Sound, said Lothrop. WDFW will continue to monitor the fishery in Marine Area 7 through April 30, when it is scheduled to close.
Anglers should check for updates on WDFW's Fishing Hotline (360-902-2500) or the department's website at
Fishing and Shellfishing Regulations & Seasons | Washington Department of Fish & Wildlife

Hammer Nutrition Endurolytes Fizz - 12-Tubes Mango, One Size
Product Description
If you read the ingredients of most "sports" drinks you'll notice that they're full of refined sugars, and if you're lucky you get some sodium. You need the sodium, because it helps your body actually absorb the water, and you sweat it out during exercise. That said, Hammer Endurolytes Fizz is so much more than just a sodium re-supply. First, it's not sugary, which is important because simple sugars will catapult you into the boom/bust energy cycle that leads to irregular performance. Rather, it's sweetened with natural stevia. Second, Endurolytes Fizz contains two key ingredients athletes need when they work out for two hours or more - or whenever they work out and sweat even moderately. Those two ingredients are Potassium and Calcium. Potassium you likely know because most cyclists will carry a banana for a longer ride. While a banana is a great source of carbs, the thing that likely makes you feel re-energized is the potassium, since it helps regulate your heart, so that beats are both consistent and smooth. Remember that the heart is a muscle too. As an athlete you need potassium to keep your heart, and other muscles, working efficiently. For potassium to do its job it has to work with a regular supply of sodium, which is in Endurolytes Fizz. As for calcium, if you've ever been on a ride and experienced urgency, or muscle spasms (and heaven forbid, both!) it's possibly due to low calcium levels. It's easy to sweat out a great deal of calcium on hot days, which in the long term can lead to bone density loss, but in the short term will sometimes lead to a nervous bowel or muscle spasms, and you don't want either. By the way, Endurolytes Fizz also contains magnesium, which is also needed to prevent muscle spasms ( a.k. a, the dreaded calf cramp). Hammer Endurolytes Fizz is a critical ride supplement to prevent cramping, inefficient muscle contraction, and lower GI issues. It comes in tubes of 13 tablets and is available in three flavors - Grapefruit, Lemon-li. see more...

A lottery winner in Swindon has been made a millionaire in the EuroMillions draw but has yet to come forward to claim the prize.
The lucky ticket was for the Millionaire Raffle on Friday, September 28.
Lottery bosses are searching for the winner and players being urged to check their stubs for a chance to strike it instantly rich.
For every EuroMillions line played, UK players automatically receive a EuroMillions Millionaire Raffle selection printed on their ticket.
The winning digits were ZLJ501773 and the ticket-holder has until March 27, 2013 to claim the prize.
If no one comes forward then the £1m will go to The National Lottery Good Causes – adding to the £28bn already raised through sales since the game launched in November 1994.
A spokeswoman for the National Lottery said: "We're desperate to find the mystery ticket-holder and unite them with their winnings – this amazing prize could make a huge difference to somebody's life.
"Being able to guarantee two UK millionaires every week with Millionaire Raffle is fantastic and we're urging everyone to check their old EuroMillions tickets again or look anywhere a missing ticket could be hiding so that this prize can turn someone into the newest member of the lottery millionaire club.
"Try checking in pockets, in wallets, bags and down the sofa.
"We have the champagne on ice and our fingers crossed that the lucky winner comes forward to claim their win."
To protect anonymity, the National Lottery does not give details of where tickets were bought where prizes have gone unclaimed, but seeks to jog people's memories.
At the time will.i.am and The Script topped the UK singles charts with Hall Of Fame, while The Killers were top of the album charts with Battle Born.
The day after the draw, Swindon Town won 1-0 away at Shrewsbury Town.
And people may have visited the Swindon Arts Centre where The Phoenix Players presented the play Dead Guilty between September 26 and 29.
The draw creates two millionaires a week – one on Tuesday and one on Friday.
Past lottery winners in Swindon include Nicky Cusack, 46, who won £2.6m in 2009. She had breast cancer and said it was only the thought of returning to work at Asda which kept her going through her treatment. She later returned to her £6.30-an-hour job.
Anyone who believes they have the winning ticket should call 0845 910 0000.

Purchased by Biola in 2005, the Tradewinds Apartment Building is part of what is known as 'The Block,' a row of apartment buildings located a half-mile from the Biola campus. Tradewinds is designated for undergrad students who are 20 years or older by the first day of Fall classes. It is staffed by a paraprofessional Resident Coordinator.
Tradewinds contains one- and two-bedroom apartments, designed to house either 2, 3, or 4 students each. There is one laundry room on the ground floor. Tradewinds is co-ed, with male and female students living in separate apartments. While there is no lobby or lounge per se, there is a large central courtyard that provides social space.
Tradewinds Apartments' doors are secured by a key access system, so only residents can access the building. Each individual room is key-locked for student security. Security cameras in outside and common areas are monitored 24 hours per day, and Campus Safety patrols campus regularly to ensure student security at all times.
Each room differs slightly, so your room may look different. There are many other ways to personalize the layout of your room from these samples.

A CARAVAN owner has been fined for failing to remove mobile homes from land in Almondsbury.
Colin Williams, of Over Lane, was fined £500 and ordered to pay costs of a further £500 when he appeared before Bristol Crown Court on Friday, March 21.
He had failed to comply with an enforcement notice from South Gloucestershire Council.
Mr Williams changed his original not guilty plea to guilty when the matter went to trial at crown court.
He pleaded guilty to occupying a mobile home for residential purposes and failing to remove the mobile home from the land in breach of an enforcement notice served last July 6.
Cllr Claire Young, chairman of South Gloucestershire Council's communities committee, said the council took such planning breaches seriously.
The site is green belt agricultural land and the council felt caravans in this location were an eyesore which failed to respect the character of the area.
A planning application was submitted this January by Mr Williams, in which he applied for one mobile home to be kept as an agricultural worker's dwelling for the purposes of breeding Alpacas.
This was the second Almondsbury site which reached the courts last week.
Gayla Symon was convicted on Wednesday, March 19 of unauthorised works to an eighteenth century Grade II listed building also off Over Lane.
She pleaded guilty at Yate Magistrates' Court to removing windows, re-pointing and re-plastering walls with inappropriate materials, as well as removing a historic ceiling and claygate fireplace.
Mrs Symon said she'd received poor advice and the council acknowledged that she had cooperated fully with their investigation.
She was convicted but given an absolute discharge with the court recognising the substantial costs that will be required to remedy the harm.

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
I was caught shoplifting in November about 300 worth of clothing from a very expensive line. I dumped, but because i had removed the sensor tags, had to pay them for the clothing since they could not resell it. I was then issued a civil demand letter of 400, and have been paying it off in monthly increments of 50. I'm not defending my actions, i know it was wrong and am actually glad i was caught, because it was a major wakeup call. I owe 250, still. My question is this, does this go on my permanent record? If i apply for a job, will they find out about it? Does this effect my ability to apply for a credit card? In retrospect, what are the PERMANENT consequences of this. How soon will the temporary consequences go away?
DO NOT PAY any more on the civil demand. You may have already harmed yourself. Please go to this link: http://www.avvo.com/legal-guides/ugc/should-i-pay-the-civil-demand-letter
More than likely this is not on a criminal record. However, your name is most likely in a database and could affect your chances for employment is certain professions.
You should have consulted with an attorney prior to taking any action.Ask a similar question
Attorney Goldstein has looked into this issue very thoroughly over the years. I agree with her answer but I am going to throw out a couple of thoughts for your particular situation, which appears to be that the police were not involved, there was neither an arrest nor a criminal prosecution, and you have already made some payments toward the civil demand letter. It sounds to me as though your primary goal at this point is to get off of the national retailer's data base, if you are able to do so. That may be something that you can negotiate with the retailer, it may not be. I agree with Ms. Goldstein that it would be preferable to have an attorney handle the negotiations for you. I agree also that you are under no legal obligation to pay anything on the civil demand letter. Given that you may already be in the data base, however, and that you hope to get out of it, this might be something to discuss with your attorney since it might be a counter in negotiations.
As to your other questions, "Does this go on my permanent record? If I apply for a job will they find out about it? Does this effect my ability to apply for a credit card?" I admit that I am speculating here. But I think that (1) this incident will not turn up on any background check that looks for arrest or criminal records, because there has been neither; (2) a background check for employment, if limited to such records, will not turn this up; (3) an application for a credit card, especially one for a merchant's card, might indeed turn it up and (4) a background check for employment broad enough to cover the retailers' data base would turn it up, but not as an arrest or criminal charge. But I am, as I said, going beyond what I know into some hopefully educated guessing, and you cannot rely on my guess.Ask a similar question
As always, attorney Sachs goes the extra mile to provide a well thought out response. The best thing this asker can do is get together with a consumer attorney to work on rehabilitating and damage that may already have been done.
It sounds like there was no arrest or prosecution so you will not have a criminal record as a result of this. Because you have made payments towards the civil demand, however, the store may have already listed you in a databse used by retail extablishments in making employment decisions. Your name will remain there for seven years. I know the demand letter did not inform you of this consequence. Accordingly, I believe the demand letter constitutes a fraudulent misrepresentation. You should consult an attroney who has experience in these matters before paying them another penny. www.galivanlaw.netAsk a similar question
